  1. They are high energy, hope you can keep up.
  2. Started with United Airlines in 1968, and they were using Univac then. Modification and expansion caused that to still be used for some things, when I retired in 2003. The FAA uses even older crap.
  3. That's true about pumping at night. Many years ago, because of that, Niagara Mohawk wanted to charge customers for "off peak" usage. Pay less 0200-0600. That never really caught on but maybe would have made sense. That reservoir's been there about 60 years. Ever seen/heard of any leaks?
  4. We have a Golden Retriever named Lindy Ruff. Found him at the pound in 2008. They said he was about 1 year old. He's still around, even though his namesake ran OFT! Anyway, Cookie Gilchrist, if it's a girl.
  5. Told them NOT to use a check.
  6. Happy Birthday Bruce! If you go out, take a wing man to drive home.
  7. That would be good! On the one hand the enviro's can't stand pipelines while on the other their tongues are hanging out for water. Can't overlook all the midwest flooding from winter snow melt that flooding the farmer's fields. That could be a shorter pipeline. Should we all buy US Steel yet?
  8. Doomed by the white helmet again!
  9. Go for a white Cherokee, also known as the Elizabeth Warren model.
  10. That's the second one to collapse in the past year. Are times that tough that they can't use more modern stable storage facilities? No doubt a bunch of fish had a "happy death."
  11. Shady will be pressed hard by Singletary. Youth will win out.
  12. If you want "fries with that," does that = 2 drones?
  13. I've always wanted to be a minority, now I'm there.
  14. It's all a balancing thing. High water here, low water there. Otherwise the whole thing will flip over, like Guam. See Congressman Hank Johnson, D-GA.. he can straighten everyone out.
  15. This is what makes the world go round. It's not just a Great Lakes "problem." Weather has Always been cyclical, and really is uncontrolled by all the hand wringers.. Last year central Europe had a very dry Spring/Summer. That dropped the water levels in the Danube, Maine, and to a lesser extent the Rhine. This year, mostly back to normal, to above normal levels. Really screwed up the river cruise business with the low water. The controlling river authority(s) closed portions of the rivers, at various times. Passau Germany sits at the confluence of three rivers, and had the worst floods in 500 years, in 2013. Last year high and dry, this year back to normal. All these rivers are controlled by a series of locks to facilitate barge transportation, and to a lesser extent river cruise ships but there's only so much of nature that ever really gets "controlled." At least Passau had the benefit of 500+ years of weather/river data to compare. While We're still falling back on geology to try to figure it out.
  16. What's the miniature limit you can drink before you're DUI in a toy truck?
  17. His "trajectory" needs to make a severe climb if he's going to intercept Mahomes.
  18. IF he was smart, he'd stay on the golf course in Florida, and stay away from Vegas.
  19. Careful with that new knee. No sudden jumps etc.
  20. I hope that this season Shady understands that he HAS to run N-S. He can't seem to do those "shady" sharp cuts anymore.
  21. Bleeding? Nothing a little Hydrogen peroxide wouldn't fix. Could be painful but it would fix that!
