Tweet? Were you the trainer or trainee? If trainee, what did you go on to
fly, C-130's? I used to work at an FBO with a military contract. My job
was to launch and recovery military and civilian aircraft with hand signals,
back in the early '80's. I can remember the tweet, because it was the
loudest of all the aircraft that I parked. It was probably the most fun job
I've ever done. I was more interested in the Harriers and the fighter jets
though.

Last weekend we had the huge Aerospace America airshow here in OKC. They've
been having it on my birthday for over 20 years now. The Blue Angels got
here a day early and buzzed the shingles off my roof! The local TV
newscaster was taken up in #7 by Lt. Otter. He first did around a positive
6 g out of a negative g and the newscaster didn't hook. The second time he
was more prepared and they did a 7.3 g. His 200 pound bodyweight felt like
around 1500 pounds, Maj. Seagraves said.

I thought you could do up to about 6 g's in the T-37?

Last winter I couldn't get a date.

That's weird....you seem like a nice guy...maybe you weren't looking in
the
right places?

What's weird is I just had this conversation a week or so ago with someone
else. It's been my experience that when you are looking for someone, you
must send some sort of bad vibes or something. The most fun I've had is
when I wasn't looking for a date.

Case in point, when a girlfriend and I were younger, we would go to this
club and we seemed to never have anyone ask us to dance, etc. Years later,
we met back in the city for a drink and the same place, but this time we
were both happily married. We couldn't even carry on a conversation without
being interrupted by suitors or the waitress bringing us a drink from some
guy across the room. We both laughed as we left the club together, with
around 20 full drinks still sitting on the table.

Well, perhaps they felt they shouldn't interfere with the course
of true love.

See? they must have been right. So, why didn't you marry her
earlier?

Firelighter, Madame V, firelighter.

Anyway, I'm scared of Bart!
;-) Plus, he gives lashes for not getting the questions he asks right. Not
to mention I don't have any points accumulated...

I'm sure you must have a couple of points you could put forward.

I've met Bart. He's a great guy. I'd sail with him any time, and I know
a couple of women he sailed with who had a great time.

That's silly. Bart's been posting here for years and is a nice guy.

Theboat had a number of blisters, voids in the laminate. The
flexing of the hull caused the gelcoat to crack and leave
behind star shaped crack which looked crappy.

The repair is to grind out the voids, and all the gelcoat, and
fill the voids with epoxy thicken with an easy to sand filler. I
used various colors to help show where more work was
needed. The early stage was red.

The outside of the boat is done. The inside still needs a bit
of work. Drop me a line, I like mercenary wenches.

I agree! But what were those red marks all over the bottom of the boat
before it was painted?

Hehee. Not since my Ollie North days... ;-)
