NightWoundsTime Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Anyone in FL happen to see the C-17 that landed at the wrong airport? link: http://www.baynews9....tary_cargo.html Sounds like simple pilot error. In flight terms the airports in question are very close together. The runways are almost on the same bearing.
Nebby Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Sounds like simple pilot error. In flight terms the airports in question are very close together. The runways are almost on the same bearing. That's what I figured as well. Unfortunate for the pilot, since it sounds like a fairly high ranking officer from the command was on board.
shellylh Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Shelly, is your insurance covering this? Ha, I wish. Here is the progress so far. They haven't had to pull up too much of the deck. Edited July 22, 2012 by shellylh
Aimless1 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Celebrated an uncles 80th birthday yesterday. He flew in from San Antonio to be with his brothers and sisters, all living. I usually don't like these but I seldom see my cousins or aunts and uncles so it ended up being a great time.
Augsburger Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Not that you need/want to be considering spending more money at the moment but have you considered having additional lines run and capped for a future BBQ, firepit, and outdoor heaters? Installing them later on should be a relative snap since the lines and connectors will be in place.
shellylh Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Greg, you obviously live in California where it actually gets cold sometimes. That is a good idea and hadn't thought about that but I don't really see a firepit/outdoor heater in the future (for the three cold days a year we get here). Also, I refuse to use a gas grill - charcoal all the way!
Augsburger Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Well I thought the fire pit would compliment the tiki bar you were installing to show off your cocktailing skills. Charcoaling in our municipality is a EPA code violation and subject to stiff fines or a week of forced tree hugging.
NightWoundsTime Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 That's what I figured as well. Unfortunate for the pilot, since it sounds like a fairly high ranking officer from the command was on board. That's definitely in my old stomping ground. My typical once a week ride bike ride with friends looked something like this, if we didn't get creative. Macdill AFB is near point "B". Davis Island is on point C. http://goo.gl/maps/biQt And of course, Derek Jeter's new 30000+ sq ft mansion is in the hood.
n_maher Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 I've been at work since 6:30 this morning. It's currently 79 degrees in my office. I'm leaving shortly but taking more work home with me that has to get done before 8am tomorrow morning. Frack.
shellylh Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Charcoaling in our municipality is a EPA code violation and subject to stiff fines or a week of forced tree hugging. Time to move or start hugging a lot of trees.
Grahame Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Don't they have Spare The Air Days where you live? They even have an App for That! Beware the BAAQMD, their reg's and compliance. Fires for cooking are not prohibited during Winter Spare the Air Alerts, but we ask the public to be mindful of air quality, and recommend the use of gas and propane barbecues rather than wood or charcoal-fired cooking devices on these days. Edited July 22, 2012 by Grahame
Augsburger Posted July 22, 2012 Report Posted July 22, 2012 Nah, gas is just more convenient for us and doesn't require storing bags of charcoal and with the amount of cooking we do on the grill that can amount to a lot of charcoal. Besides, my grill has smoker drawers which I fill with mesquite or applewood chips when needed. Definitely ever thing involving fire is a concern here, each year the fire department sends homeowners a notice reminding us to maintain a 100 ft. brush free zone around our homes.
morphsci Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Posted July 23, 2012 Well the HC home ownership woes continue. Our AC unit will need to be replaced. Three straight weeks of upper 90s/100s have done it in. Not surprising for a 28 year old compressor but annoying nevertheless.
jvlgato Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 That sucks, Jim! We'll need one soon ourselves, as we're close to 20 years on ours, I think.
Saria Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 I went to work and registered for this website... while at work of course! I also found this nifty banana avatar.

Saria Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 I had already taken the time to read my welcome PM. Hey... there's another thing I did today. Hooray!
Voltron Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 I had already taken the time to read my welcome PM. Hey... there's another thing I did today. Hooray! My prediction of what else you'll be starting today:

skullguise Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) ^^^ yeah, not clicking there.....longer just might not be better..... Dusty, how was the first day? I went to work today, and used - once again - my line when anyone asks me how I am: I'm-tired-I'm-irritable-I-work-for-a-living-and-I-haven't-won-the-lottery.....how are YOU?
