    Such sad news: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sully-sullenberger-miracle-hudson-pilot-says-alzheimers-disease-rcna587504 What a gawdawful disease that robs people of their lives, accompaniments and dignity. Another thing I wouldn't wish on anyone. :cry:

    Avenger Jr. would appreciate that. He collects PEZ dispensers. I'll see if I can borrow one to keep on the nightstand.

    You say that like you expect I'm going to be able to move at all. But if I can, I'll certainly stretch whatever little movement I have available.

    My friends invited me to join them on their regular bike ride from Field X at Jones Beach up and down the OP bike path to various places. My imaginary self, you know the one that doesn't see the fat old guy in the mirror, says "Hey, that sounds like fun." So, I drag out the 1980's vintage...

    Looks like the PBY Catalina may be making a comeback. https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/2026/07/catalina-aircraft-pushes-ahead-with-updated-catalina-ii-after-securing-46-aircraft-commitment/ I thought the original was a very clever piece of design. Hopefully the re-boot lives up to the...

    Inneresting how suddenly it's about thresholds and not an absolute ban. I wonder if this would have happened if Boeing had gotten the 2707 off the ground. :unsure: https://luxurylaunches.com/travel/overland-supersonic-use-approved-07012026.php

    Since you mention them looking like firefighters, here's some trivia for you. Mike Stoker was an actual L.A. firefighter. They had to have a qualified "engineer" to operate the firetruck. And he was a SAG member so filled both qualifications. The voice of dispatch was also done by a real LA...

    Sure. If they have insurance. You're missing the point. Trivial damages are trivial until they can make somebody with money accountable. Otherwise, fu¢# you. Eat it. Sadly, in this case the taxpayer's pockets are deep, so we need to hang somebody.

    Oh good. A forum for whiners. Is there a MyFace forum for people who have been aggrieved at HD or in Zach's Bay? BTW, even if there were cams in the parking lot, or in the car, what do you think the odds are of any authority cooperating in finding the perpetrators? Don't worry. I'm sure your...

    Great. Who's responsible for the wrinkled fenders on my car after a visit to Home Depot? It was fine when I parked it. Who's got the deep pockets? You're right about not getting lawyers involved. But I suspect if the complainers hadn't done that, we would have no idea that the stains even occurred.

    This is why we can't have nice things. Life has risks. How do I get compensation from the @$$hole with the DJ and the giant speakers for ruining my day?

    I spoke about people at the airshow who ruin things for everyone else, and here's your proof: I hope, but doubt, it was the blowhole blasting his DJ's music across Zach's Bay. Too bad. I'd have supported calling in an airstrike on that fu¢#. You know the airshow teams have all shifted...

    Just watched the C-47 boring a hole through the sky on its way home from the airshow. I just enjoyed watching it do a steady drone into the distance. They talk about machines that changed the world. That is certainly one of them. Great way to end the day.
