I think this would be my choice to fly the approach to, given the lyrics

Biden will be pleased with the care of the Ukrainian targeting. Reuters reporting a source saying the drones only hit the LPG section of the Tuapse refinery, and the crude oil cracker is undamaged. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-tuapse-oil-refinery-halted-after-ukrainian-drone-attack-s...

Of course. Scottsdale was my base, but we bimbled up to northern Arizona also. There were some airports that the Chief Pilot wouldn't let most instructors go to, such as Marble Canyon.
It seemed like some twins wouldn't climb unless you pedalled to help.

Your knees will thank you, as at your age will your heart. Keeling over whilst shoveling is not uncommon here. The ST224 has everything you need. Wheels are powered so no pushing. Heated handgrips. Lighting is fine for night work, even in blowing snow. Usually starts second pull, but if fuel is a bi...

So, they are bribing him to go.
Shameless, all of them.

Bloody dangerous being an MEI, if you have a big student who panics. I didn't get the rating, nor did many others.

I have the Husqvarna ST224 mini blower, can highly recommend it for paths, etc. It's 2 foot wide. Can also do the whole driveway, should your local farmer be indisposed. Collecting clippings. It's so windy here that long clippings blow away. I have a sweeper attachment for clearing clippings and lea...

This was my concern with the advertised power of the Stiga. I have used a blade on a tractor of similar power at my last house, and it is indeed difficult to shift more than a few inches. Fortunately my neighbour had a bigger tractor with a proper blower and was happy to do my driveway also. I now h...

Without wishing to sound like one of your parents, "Go out and play".

Is a Husqvarna an option? They are very well regarded around here. I may get one as a replacement for my current John Deere. Do not get a John Deere! (mine came free with the house) I think the Husqvarna TS142 is the entry level, which I have had a look at at my local dealer. I think pretty much eve...

..and every infantryman's nightmare. Looks like the Ukes do have artillery ammo again. https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/112456255692926070 I think what has happened is: First Russian tank gets stuck in mud. Second Russian tank gets stuck trying to pull the first one out The Russians bell up a civil...

Welcome to 21st Century warfare.
Ground drones position themselves over Russian bunkers, and blow the roof off.
Air drones then dive inside.

Machine vision is very difficult. I did a bit on it in my physics degree, and have made an attempt to keep up with it since. Essentially, spotting objects from a background is a massive operation in parallel processing, and we are still not sure just how our own brains do it. It can be made easier b...

Hi-res satellite of Belbek: Hit List 2 MiG-31 1 Su-27 1 MiG-29 1 Fuel dump 1/2 S-400 battery A good night's work. About $530m of Russian hardware up in smoke. Cost of missiles: $18m https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/112454934090309139 No image of the weapons bunker yet. That will be a Brucie Bonus t...

Very interesting. Looks usable to me. Meanwhile; go to sleep Russians, your air defence already has! https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/112455214341204862 and "For the first time since the start of the war, none of the brigades complain that there are no artillery projectiles. And this has been happe...

The 20x was not randomly chosen

We have fantastic soil here, and an ideal summer climate. However, we can be seriously stuffed before then. It's been over 20 degrees for the last few days, but the older gardeners regard anyone who plants before the 10th of June as an idiot, because, out of nowhere, we can get a direct channel to t...
