Scott, just let me know when you'll be arriving. I'll gladly come to the airport to help you kill the time.

What's the problem? We have all sorts of stuff locked on. This is the real world.


Some are wet.

Honestly, I don't know. Didn't actually go anywhere else and the layover wasn't that long. Well, other than stopping to stock up on Cuban cigars...

That was when I had a private-sector defense job and got to fly first class. Now that I'm back in a gov job I don't even get to leave my region for training I desperately need.

Edit: ****, forgot random pictures thread. DoD acquisition process chart:

My company sells products to DoD and VA hospitals. It's not as simple as that diagram would indicate. The good news is that if you do it right, the gubmint just loves stroking some checks.

Turns out that the missus is both a car nerd and a nerd. She sent me this tonight:




One one, two twos, and three threes. Getting to be time for the first spark plug change.

Joe's "missus" has cred with y8s as she apparently attended the same university at the same time.

Have to admit, we both got a pretty good laugh when that realization clicked. And didn't you both wind up knowing some random dude that'd been in the vet med program?


As regards the circuit breaker stuff above... None of that prevents the breaker from tripping on overload, only from being manually tripped off. I did the exact same thing a few years ago during a family coast-to-coast RV trip to keep the generator's main breaker closed from the Grand Canyon until we reached Vegas and could buy a replacement part. Not really sure what happened internally, but the damn thing just wouldn't stay closed even when the genny was powered down and the transfer switch was in the Shore position.

I performed many hacks during that trip which seemed mundane to me, but apparently qualified for sainthood status amongst the fam.

I parked next to... this... while getting lunch today. I think the picture hides just how imminent failure is.

I'm wondering why I never realized that two small gauge pieces of hardware store angle iron = frame rail.

Unrelated pictures of frame rails:
