  1. The tape sometimes works till you can get back to a place where the repair can be made. 30+ years ago I saw a jetway malfunction, it started to rise uncontrolled. There was a 727 at the gate, and the jetway reached the bottom of the forward door. So it lifted the door, and the plane, till the door failed. The bottom of the door was bent outward about 60 degrees. The mechanics came from the base, with a lot of heavy tool boxes, but no replacement door. I asked the guys where the door was, and found out that they were going to repair the damaged door. He said, "this anin't no 57 Chevy! When they build the fuselage, it's one piece. Then they use a template to cut the door, so no 2 doors are ever exactly alike." So 4-5 days later, the original door was repaired, and the plane went back into service, with no pressurization problems.
  2. I wish he would just leave! He's already said that he won't run again. He still gets his full Congressional pay and benefits FOR LIFE. He should leave now, if he won't do his job. What's his point?
  3. He's older than Brady but I'd consider putting him in camp to compete, just to see what he could still do. I don't think he'd make the team but the competition could be interesting.
  4. Didn't Paul Ryan say he's not going to offer the bill for a vote? If that's true, it's dead.
  5. So once again, Congress is just gathering dust!
  6. So now they're middle age?? I'll probably skip it!
  7. I guess the BILLS don't offer scouts the team Dental Plan?
  8. Not that I don't have confidence in WR's, but till we're sure that we have a reliable QB, to give them the ball, I am curbing my confidences.
  9. I have not, but a friend told me that she had to answer so many survey type pre-test questions, that she felt as though she was already handing them all the information.
  10. I'll be there, selling my large doses of maturity! Who's watching the basement while these people are out?
  11. Well that's what I thought, when I saw the story.
  12. Well OK, and congrats, I guess, but still really can't forgive him for taking that trade.
  13. Why would he cross three lanes, to end up in front of the truck?? If that wasn't recorded, nobody would believe it!
  14. I noticed that he seemed to hesitate before dunking the kid. Wanted to be careful not to miss the font.
  15. It's called 600mph tape. Airbus planes are much easier to repair. They're very "modular" in design, but the parts are very expensive when compared to Boeing. Airbus sells the planes on the cheap but makes it up on parts sales, and the parts are mostly NOT interchangeable with Boeing.
  16. We don't know his mental and physical condition. The Military has their standards and maybe 30 is too old already?
  17. Yes, both of them. Has anybody seen Clark Kent lately?
  18. I miss him like I miss my wisdom teeth, which are in a dumpster somewhere.
  19. Since they've been gone, there's been very little to cheer about, so maybe they are not missed?
