Re: Baltimore bridge collapse

Is the Dali one or two propeller boat? I think in term of differential thrust.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

First day back in work after the long weekend and the medical leave. I feel better but there are still some left-overs in the nose if I may say so.

Weather is that of a well advanced spring day with temperature reaching 24 C.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

1DC I share this feeling of missing out something great while asleep. Or I thought about planning a trip in Northern Scandinavia or Iceland only to be confronted with a thick layer of clouds. Technically xasteria is the clear completely cloudless night with stars (asteria) look bright no matter the ...

t15, I know what you mean about the clear night skies away from Athens. Arguably it is what I haven't seen that makes aurora attractive to me. JimR I love your way of approaching kind of sensitive subjects. National Holiday here: for some unknown reason we celebrate the uprising against the Ottoman ...

If anyone in northern latitudes has clear skies tonight, the aurora is showing as very active on the Finnish met. site.

It is clear here but not yet dark at the moment.
Watching the aurora is the last thing on my bucket list trip wise

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

A bit late to the show but I would point that ISIS attacks aim on entertainment venues like they did in Paris or in Brussels Airport rather than military or economic targets which fit the profile of the attack here. On the other hand Ukraine has no reason to waste resources to run an attack like that.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Cold or pharyngitis is getting worst. A run to the producers market for oranges and to the food store for tissues (I ran out as the nose was running more) and maybe a bottle of wine are in order although I realised I have a good supply of tsipouro / tsikoudia which can be substituted for. I am an es...

Slasher and myself would really appreciate this pic but not for the truck. Should I have seen in the 90's I would have chosen Louisiana over Sunderland for attending university.

To continue with the chainsaw "branch" of the conversation: F3 do you have any quick pointers about chainsaw safety beyond the obvious paying attention when it starts and wear heavy gloves and protective spectacles? I might do some wood chopping and any tips would be useful. Regarding electricity ta...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Good morning fellow members. I have a doctor's appointment at noon to get a sick note as I have a cold that fortunately is more annoying than anything else.

Not much else planned for the day.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Sunny start of the day for the lazy day I have here. Not much planned obviously given it is holiday. The only activity I foresee is a visit to the producers market for the weekly supply of oranges.

Re: More Boeing Bad News

But the skilled people need time (mainly) and resources to do the job effectively. Or alternatively the current lot of workers could do it as well if allocated the resources.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

We had one with the large rear door and I think the registration was G-BGJV. Yes, she was on lease for a while, I think awaiting the delivery of the new ones. I did a few trips in her, because she was our demo aircraft for a while. Sadly she was shot down near Jaffna, Sri Lanka in April 1995, with ...

My 'blower is ready to go, though of course the problem at the moment would be getting the hundred feet or so to the barn. Very easy to get disorientated, and people do die around here attempting such. Fortunately the wind isn't full storm strength, and almost everyone still has power. However, any...
