    Round House Round Two

    It turns out the last trip wasn't the last trip after all. We didn't actually go to the Round House, but the plan was similar. Run out of Jones, look around and do some trolling. We set up and turned Southwest. There was a whale just outside the inlet that hung around for a bit. Trust me...

    Whoever created that has never actually done it. Those who have, will know what I'm talking about.

    Whats on tonights Menu

    The whole Butcher Box thing has become a bit of a running gag at the Avenger household. We cancelled the service a long time ago, and we've still got a bunch of frozen pork loin. I mean,.... a... bunch.... :rolleyes: The joke is a variation of; "What should we have for dinner tonight?" "I...

    The limited information we have now suggests she was not pilot in command. It appears she was type certified, but only certified as second in command. Likely she was handling the radios as that's usually how shared responsibility is done. One drives. One talks. Way too soon to draw any...

    On further research, the aircraft had an unusual horizontal stabilizer configuration. Poor image quality probably negates any interpretation here.

    Why does that image look like it's missing the horizontal stabilizer?

    Ahhh, coming of age. We all got stories.... I'm going to mention that since we're old, life was a little different when we weren't old. It's Long Island in the 21st Century, and this has become one of the worst places in the US to learn to drive because non-stop traffic and frankly, entitled...

    Changing times. Avenger Jr. took forever to get his license. Passed the test on the first try but is still a very anxious driver and avoids it whenever he can. None of my peers can comprehend it. We couldn't wait to get our licenses. At least he hasn't dismissed it with "I'll just Uber."

    One more time I'm going to point out the other side of the coin. If all the local folk who "loved" the local store took the effort to always buy there it would probably still be a viable business. Also, maybe visit the early history of Sears & Roebuck. They were the Amazon-ian disruptor of...

    How Not To Drive A Cruise Ship

    How To Drive A Tug Decisions were made. Mostly bad ones. The Captain and the Pilot are going to have to have some 'splainin' to do. OTOH, tugboat Captains have always impressed me. Tiny, yet powerful boats working hard in the land of giants. Those who operate them are so finely attuned to...

    Gas prices 2019 and beyond

    I forgot to mention, The Buick came back from the body shop and I filled it up Saturday. Gas was $3.99 in Seafood. I haven't bought gas in a couple of months now. So, it was $38 to fill. Believe it or not, even though it costs $80 to fill up The Mighty TDI, it's still cheaper to drive that...
