Pilot's Tip #55.

Altitude and airspeed are a pilot's best friend, Trees are not.

Like picking a juicy peach, except instead of sweet peach juice dripping down your chin it's shame.

Bad rc idea #4

In the RC world there is a inverse relationship between how good an idea is and how fun it is to try.
Shannon was not impressed.

Mustache not enogh to conquer the spider.

The Spider (Above) is a series of shoots I can see from my front yard. Mark, Matt and I tried to get it today
Started in the valley, after 5 hours of bushwhacking ever and only gaining 2500 vertical feet had to turn around.WE got about level with the bottom of the shot. If you listen real close you can hear my mustache crying. Mark's goatee wasn't pleased either. To succeed, you gotta increase your failure rate, either that or lower your expectations.

Today's Kids Not Easy to Scare






Two local scientist conducted a experiment on how today's kids scare: Conclusion? Not easy.

Parents are getting harder to scare too.


The scientist were armed with the following equipment:
Beer
Pitbull/boxer
Trucker Hat with band name Nashville "kitty" or similar
Boom box.
Spinning props

The above items had no effect on parents decision that we were a "safe bet." Matter of fact we were safer than nobody.

"Mom is leaving to pick up some fast food. She comes out and let her kids know it is fine to stay at park with us, but to come back inside once we. " said one of the scientist. "We were a lawsuit waiting to happen, but to todays parent, with our beer and spinning props and pitbull, we looked like a safe haven, I just don't get it."

Bluie, a candle in the wind, a rough draft.

Most half inch foam insulation bought at Lowe's ends up on houses, spending their long long lives guarding people from tempurature extreemes.

Not Bluie! Bluie was lovingly made into an airplane by a red headed proud Gappedo type.

Under Gappedo's guidance, Bluie lived a very very short but exciting life. here is bluies story.

to be continued. (spoiler alert, bluie is going to be a candle buring on many, many ends)

Shock and Awe!

Miles,
The bombardment of poo has weakened our outer defenses. The thirty poo barage in 24 hours was especially effective as was your campaign to poo right after diaper change at 3am last night. and again at 4 am and again at 5. In a word. I surrender.

P-51 Mustang.


I have always liked mustangs. Toby takes a low pass on a Sunday evening. The real deal, Around 150 P-51's still flying. A full sized one goes for a million dollars, Toby's is appimately one million less so it is approximately free. Fun times.

Free Packing foam and 2 hours labor = good times

Shannon got some paking styrofoam in a recent shipment. I decided to put it to bad use. 2 hours of gluing later, time to terrorize the local kids. Not a bad flyer for something you pull out of the garbage.

Warning: Political Rant.

Politicians are morons.

You know what you should do when there is a huge surplus of houses? In Utah, we decided to encourage people to build more houses. We offered a $6,000 "home run" grant to buy brand new houses. I payed for this bill twice. once in taxes, and again when i went to sell my old house, which had to compete with brand new houses that qualified for the $6,000 off.

Utah supreme court decided it was ok for me to quietly enjoy navigable waterways on private land, so I did!
Then passed House Bill 141. Now I can't.

Gov Herbert signed both ideas.

You probably got your own ideas, here is where to go to see who voted how and be a single issue voter, like me. They don't make it easy, it takes some digging, helps to know the number of the bill before hand and have a date.

http://le.utah.gov/

Anybody wants a copy of vote record for keeping me from touching river bottoms and the "home run grants" votes email me and I'll send it to you. Im printing em up, bringing em to the polls and going to try to fire some people. Others have done a fair job not pissing me off. Early voting starts tommorow.
