[Greyson]

And a warm welcome to the new pilots also from me!

 

[Blackhorse]

"Tawdry" yes, that's what I thought I had written. Thanks. I'm the world's worst keyboarder, or whatever they're calling it these days.

re: PeeBee's peeing all over the place...dang! Depending on the direction of the wind, it's getting harder and harder to keep the campfire going! And do pay careful attention and scrape any tainted marshmallows off your stick. No one wants a yellow s'more! Unless that is one could include it in some sort of burning yellow marshmallow bomb - for the target! Hmmmm.


What with all the hijinks I'm sure the new boys will feel right at home in no time. I just hate to give them the impression that we're not a stalwart and serious bunch. Well, they'll see we mean business when the target is crushed under the load of flaming mayhem that will arrive, unsuspected, bringing pain and ruin. You know, in setting an example it's always a quandry. We all know that the target is a perfectly horrid individual, but with all the napalm due he might get to thinking he's...'important'. Certainly not a direction in which to move. Well, they'll have to sort it out for themselves. I'm sure we'll all give them the proper degree of leadership in that department.

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Commander - if any of the new pilots have any issues or uncertainties and you're not around, they can feel free to PM me with any questions and concerns - with your permission, of course. I don't mind helping out when and where I can....

 

[petertschantz]

I'm actually enjoying the hijinks, stalwart and serious are words not often employed in reference to me.

Sesquipedalian perhaps, but not serious 8)

this seems pretty on point for BoB in my limited experience. this a little more off, but i like it. so i'm to understand we're sending flaming peed on marshmallows to the poor victim? :bom:

Hmmm, can't be flaming in the U.S. Mail... just pee on them until they're out. Should be good to go then.

Do try to keep the hullabaloo to a minimum while on base chaps. You're spoiling the ambience of the O-club... and Manuel almost spilled my drink.

Americans.

 

[petertschantz]

well when he is done, as Manuel to bring me a Gin & Tonic please...

As if y'all would allow me admittance into the officer's club. :lol:

Jack - I'll save you a seat in the next meeting of the Imperial Senate! :twisted:

 

[Blackhorse]

Avast! Et tu Palpatine? And just where do you think I'd be?



ARRRR. The closet to ye are the ones to watch the closest I be thinkin'!

 

[Rob_In_MO]

Avast! Et tu Palpatine? And just where do you think I'd be?

You've already got your own Chair in the Senate, where you always sit...

 

[leftover421]

Sorry, I have been insanely busy with some new work related boring nonsense that no one wants to hear about because it’s boring nonsense and I really don’t want to relive any of my stress over the past couple of weeks anyways so just don’t ask :x K?! :lol:

Is there room for one more weary flyboy, commander? I hope so, would hate to miss my second official mission.

p.s. That’s an "I'm in" if I’m not too late please.

 

[gravel]

Commander - if any of the new pilots have any issues or uncertainties and you're not around, they can feel free to PM me with any questions and concerns - with your permission, of course. I don't mind helping out when and where I can....

That's a broad range Rob.

 

[Cigar2you]

Count me in commander

 

[i.keenum]

Hey leftover what ya been up to for the past two weeks. :lol:

 

[Blackhorse]

OKAY...here we are with the a.m. feed. Two more gents checked in so we're up to a count of 28!


I'm likely inside today as it's totolly below freezing outside and that makes the shop situation a little rough...just for my hands. Got the toasty boots (Columbia Bug-a-Something Slip Ons) and the longies and the parka-ish work coat and a good hat...so I'm good, body-wise. But my fingers kinda freeze up.

Anyway aside from that, I spent a few hours fixing the throttle body/plate assemby on my wife's car. One of those classic, "Honey, would you look at my car today...the gas pedal is sticking?" Me...How often and how bad? "Oh, like a few times on the way to the store and the car just stops." (the store is a mile away) Me...inward eye rolling...How long has it been doing that? "Oh, like maybe the last month or so. It was pretty bad on my trip up to Seattle last weekend!" (this is the first I'd been informed about any problem at all) Me...so is it different when you're on the freeway than on the side streets? "Well, when I take my foot off the gas I can only get it to go again about half the time." Good grief!

My question at this point would be...WHAT DOES IT TAKE...for it to be a problem that she would tell me right away? "OH, honey...I meant to tell you...the car exploded last week." - or perhaps - "OH honey...I thought I should mention, there was a tear in the fabric of the veil between our universe and that other place, you know, where the dark one lives...you know, out in the back yard...and a bunch of demons and dark glowy things came through and spent the afternoon rounding up all the neighborhood cats!" Well, THAT would have been all right I guess.

Anyway, I pop out the laptop and google the sticky throttle thing and there's a couple of videos showing how to take the throttle body apart and what kind of solvent to use to clean the gunk off and out and get it slick as a '32 Coupe at a Hot Rod Show. Which it was after the two hours of fiddling and the chunk of my thumb lost to that sharp screw...and here's the point of this whole thing...the leaning into the engine compartment - way in - very close to sprung my back into next week. So I'm a bit slow and will likely sit and let the ibuprophen have its way with me.

Sounds like a hell of a day BH, glad most of you made it through!

See if that Dark one guy in the back yard is free to join the squadron, he might lighten the mood somewhat
