    I don’t come here very often anymore.

    Don't know what you've been doing with your spare time, but (judging from your grammar & punctuation) it certainly hasn't been spending time in an English class.

  2. The news is discussing his mental acuity & capacity now.

    He’s got Trump stickers on his van. I think that definitively answers the query ... not very fucking intelligent.

    They’re describing him as the “MAGA Bomber” here; is it the same in the US?

    Check out this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/historichunter/videos

    The guy has tested about 10x more kinds of traps than you ever imagine existed.



    I'm curious about the non-lethal mousetraps. So it works and I now have an angry/scared mouse in a box - what am I going to do with that?

    I also live in London, so where is this wilderness that I am to release it, so that it lives out its days with its mouse friends?

  4. Watching the news, the one item that works great are their outdoor microphones - they've definitely got that tech sorted.

    The reporters may be barely able to stand against the wind, but you can hear them crystal clear.

  5. Watching the weather (NC & SC areas for Hurricane Florence), it seems the public gets fixated on the Hurricane “Level” number and don’t really look into the details which can potentially be disastrous. I have friends that live in these coastal areas and been speaking with them on the phone. One contact noted “I’m on higher ground than “in town”, but I just looked at the elevation map and town is 6ft elevation; he’s only 8ft. He’s 75 so I’m certain he’s not ever checked this on the internet.

    Being a pilot and yachtsman, I’ve studied weather for years, but note now that even though we have the best available resources, models and methods to disseminate the information – we’ve “dumbed” it down. I’m watching this on television now and there is not a single mention of the air pressure. With silly descriptions like “heat index” and “wind chill”, the mainstream weather reports today just simply about “do I need a jacket or umbrella today”.

    I hope that those that think a category 1 or 2 hurricane is nothing to really be concerned about, don’t find the contrary.

    NA economy was one of the first to industrialize



    No, I think you'll find Britain got the Industrial Revolution started.

  7. I see the Trump Organisation’s CFO was granted immunity today. Along with the National Enquirer’s head.

    The Trump CEO has been in the Trump Org since the 1970’s; so can surely provide some good info.

    Those two words, possibility & probability, mean different things.



    Those words actually do mean roughly the same thing. Probability is the measurement of the likely outcome.

    However, I get where you were going with this - "probable" which is a likely outcome.

  9. 1) Your FAI "A" doesn't expire (whether provided by USPA or BPA), however your USPA/BPA membership(s) expire every 12 months and must be renewed.

    2) At 50 jumps and a 10yr layoff; yes some refresher training is definitely advised.

    3) Cypres (of prior years) expired at 12 years past date of manufacture; the 4 & 8 year service intervals had a +/- 6mo grace period. As you noted it was a Cypres 1, it is quite possibly expired and now a paperweight.

    Take your logbook and all equipment to the DZ and have a chat with them; they'll get you back in the air.

  10. On a complete side note, living in the UK, we never see Alaska Airlines planes, so whenever I see a photo of one of their fleet, my first thought is "Why is there a picture of Bob Marley on the tail fin"? Only when I can see the rest of the of the photo, do I realise "Oh, Alaska; it's an Inuit"

    On the event, I did like the attached photo which was on a pilot forum.

    You can thank your government for that. The oil isint really any more expensive in AUS or the EU, but the government taxes the shit out of it so most of what your paying is taxes and not the cost of the fuel itself.




    But we spend it on stuff like healthcare and get the upside of not having file to for bankruptcy over a simple hospital stay.

  12. Ron, while I too think Facebook is a "shit pit". Your post of the stock price is conflating two unrelated issues and events.

    I'd advise you to give economics and finance a miss and stick to Jesus-related topics.

    My motivation was to make SOCOM aware of your allegiance to an enemy during wartime.



    In my day-to-day interactions, I don't encounter people like you. As I have little desire to visit backwoods hick towns and interact with the locals, I'm certain we will never meet.

    This general "fucking about" on the internet is one thing, however I find it unbelievable that you would attempt to interfere with someone's real life/business.

    *** P 51 $2200 30 min, 3200 60 min.



    OUCH...

    I flew an hour in the P51 "Crazy Horse 2" in Kissimmee. On the way out to the practice area the instructor asked if I wanted to take it easy or fly more aggressively. I replied "I've paid a lot of money; I want to fly the hell out this thing" - which we did; a lot of fun and highly recommended.
