After reading the past few pages - I have begun to wonder what an artist's rendition of the aircraft would look like using the terms described.

Hello.
-
I saved it - I can see it but windon't will not open it.
-
If it anything like in MI - then you might want to look into becoming friends with people in any sort of historical society. There are many things on the farmhouse at the in-laws that need serious repair, but they have to go through a million hoops to stay in "code" that applies to farmhouses/homes older than 100 years.

People on the "east side of the mountain" here just outside of Albuquerque seem to have our act together. We are courteous and polite, possibly because everyone knows everyone else in some way or another. With the exception of the rich folks who live in Paako. they really don't count. They drive their fancy high end cars, but dress down in order to try to fit in....wait..SO I was saying. We seem to have it together, but when you drive into town you have to throw all politeness out the window if you want to survive the roads.
-
Really looks a lot like the grandparent in-laws home. I almost thought it was, then I saw the orientation of the street, and the sign on the front.
You are giving up Florida for snow? Crazy. Welp...maybe you will fit in with all the gun nuts. :)

This is a "stuble upon" as I would call it. I found the photos just to be well composed. Thought to share them.

LOL!!
That reminds me of some graffiti I once saw on a bathroom wall.
"When Susanne gets drunk. She does not throw up. She throws down."
-
I did mean using the towel for helping with the dishes, but confess I'm also guilty of misusing it from time to time. It does just seem so well designed for "man" grime.
The appropriate towel for "man grime" is the foofy one in the bathroom.
The kitchen towel for drying dishes, is just what Don said it is for.
-
If you have ever heard the Bob & Tom Radio show - then you know of Tim Wilson.
He once did a "commercial" for the The Aggravator. A spoof of the Navigator system you can get in your car.
It was a southern version giving directions.
-
There are times when using a dish towel carries more weight the a box of candy or a potted plant.
Wait...guys still think that candy or a plant is a suitable gift?
A dish towel goes very far if it is being used as a dish towel, and not to wipe dirty hands on.

It's doesn't count when asking her if she wants help with the housework!
AHAHAHA!!!

26. You pay a mortgage every month, instead of paying rent.

Same but different
Limited-Edition Barbie dolls for the New Mexico market:
Tanoan Albq Barbie:
This princess Barbie is only sold at out-of-state Fashion Centers since
there is no high-end shopping in the entire state.
She comes with an assortment of Kate Spade handbags, a Lexus SUV, a
long-haired foreign lapdog named Honey, and a semi-custom dream house.
Available with or without tummy tuck and facelift. Workaholic ex-husband
Ken comes with squeeze-me Skipper and a Ferrari.
Rio Rancho Barbie:
This modern-day homemaker Barbie is available with Ford Windstar minivan
and matching gym suit. She gets lost easily and has no full-time
occupation or secondary education. Can swear in English or Spanish. Available at Target.
Espanola Barbie:
This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, bowie knife, a 78
El Camino with dark tinted windows, and a meth-lab kit.
This model is only available after dark and can only be bought with
cash, preferably small bills, unless you are a cop, then we don't know
what you are talking about.
Northeast Heights Barbie:
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or
HummerH2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card set, and
country Club membership. Also available are Shallow Ken and Private
School Skipper. Traffic- jamming cell phone sold
separately. NE Heights Barbie hasn't been affordable since the early
80's.
Moriarty Barbie:
This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too
small, a classic Metallica shirt, and Tweety Bird tattoo on her
shoulder. Wants to major in NASCAR at MCC. She has a six-pack of Coors
Light and a Hank Williams, Jr. CD set. She can spit over 5 feet and kick
mullet-haired Ken's ass when she is drunk.
Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper
sticker absolutely free. Available at Super Wal-mart.
Los Lunas Barbie:
This tobacco chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own
high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased
Beer-Gut Ken out of Belen Barbie's (discontinued) house.
Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails,
strawberry lip-gloss, and a see-through halter-top.
Comes with Barbie's dream doublewide trailer. Available at Wal-Mart.
Cheap.
Corrales Barbie:
This collagen injected, rhinoplastic (nose job) Barbie wears leopard
print spandex, and drinks cosmopolitans to new age music with friends at
the lodge. She's into crystals. Comes with Percocet prescription and two
alimony checks. Also cheap.
West Side Albuquerque Barbie:
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and infant doll. Optional
accessories include a G.E.D. and bus pass. Gangsta Ken and his
'79 Caddy where available, but are now very difficult to find since the
addition of the infant.
Santa Fe Barbie:
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight grey hair,
archless feet, hairy armpits, no makeup, and Birkenstocks with white
socks. She prefers that you call her "Willow." She does not want or need
a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Flagstaff Barbies and the optional
Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag sticker for free.
Ruidoso Barbie:
Is pregnant, drives a new Ford Excursion and is perfect in every way. We
don't know who Ken is because he's always away hunting or in Japan on
business. Ruidoso Barbie aspires to become Tanoan Barbie. Not cheap,
but still very naive.
South Valley Albuquerque Barbie:
This Spanish-speaking-only Barbie comes with a 1984 Toyota with expired
temporary plates and three babies in the back, without car seats. This
is the only Barbie who is willing to do manual labor.
Ken comes in a meat-packer's uniform and is missing three fingers on his
left hand. Green cards are not yet available for South Valley Barbie or
Ken. Available at Food City.
Silver City Barbie/Ken
These dolls are going fast! Well, what we mean is they're old and don't
have much time left. Both write checks for everything or pay in change,
and can provide hours of endless repetitive conversation about "The good
ol' days." Drives a golf cart, signals right to turn left. Can be seen
in Barbie Grocery Store (soldseparately) arguing over prices.
Available at the doctor's office
Las Cruces Barbie:
Into basketball, marijuana, and green chile. Dropped out of NM State.
Does nothing but complain about any Albuquerque Barbie

I found some footage of the PACAF survival school in the PI (the internet has just about everything)
There is no sound -
http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65675021584_American-Air-Force-personnel_PACAF-Jungle-Survival-School_airman-with-python/?ref=zemanta - I believe the snake in the beginning was named Charlie. I remember when we us little girl scouts were shown a sizeable snake at the school, we were told his name was Charlie. Even though that film was taken in 67, it is possible that with proper care, that was the same snake we were introduced to in 75?
@ 3:06 you can see the "elephant cage" antennae in the background.
-
WHATEVER - We use this as a substitue for fine. It is also used to shut you up, and just continue with what we were doing.
SURE - We are actually sort of, kind of agreeing with you.
SURE THAT SOUNDS GOOD - In reality it doesn't. But you are not budging from your idea. We cannot convince you the idea is a bad one. So we just say this to move things along, because we got things to do.
UH-HUH (sounding like a question)- We use this in conjunction with SURE and GO AHEAD. We already know that whatever endeavor you are about to attempt will go awry and end with us saying...
I TOLD YOU SO.
How to get your wife to help you in the garage or shop. (providing she is that type of gal who knows how to turn a wrench and knows the diff between a flathead and phillips)
When you ask "Honey could you come here for a second?" - we interpret this to mean "I need your help in the garage/shop."
We will then ask how long it will take. Your answer to this question is vital as to the kind of help you will receive in the future.
If you answer:
"Not long." And we do not change into coveralls or our house cleaning clothes, and we get even the tiniest bit dirty. The results will be that we will give you little to no help the next time you ask.
"Just a bit. Maybe five minutes." - suggest that we wear gloves. Because you always seem to need our help the day after getting a manicure. If you do not suggest gloves. Then you, again, will receive little help. We might hold the flashlight. But we will not hand you any tools. Note: when we are holding the shop light or the flashlight do not bitch about it. Do not bitch that we are not pointing it in the right direction. We are here in your shop HELPING you. If you want to have more help in the future - shut your mouth.
"About thirty minutes. You might want to change into something you can get dirty. And bring gloves just in case." This is the phrase that pays. You will receive all the help you need.
Be patient while we are changing into our boiler suit. Do not lean in the door of the house and ask "how much longer?". This will trigger the passive agressive nature in us. For every time you lean in and holler, we will add five minutes to your wait time. We have agreed to help you. We will be there when we get there.

Some missions have been released. I just randomly clicked on one and found the "paperwork" for the rescue of a downed F4 aircrew.

I say this every time ...I grew up on that noise.
The other afternoon while shooting the breeze in the parking lot with two co-workers. A herk flew over at a high altitude. This one was not coming in over the mountains like they usually would. But this one was high up. One other coworker and myself looked up. The third co-worker was confused, as to why we just stopped conversation and ignored him.
Like dogs hearing that potato chip bag crinkle.
ftr - the other coworker was a loadie betwee 63-66.

* makes note to use exact change in Georgia. what a scam
Or better yet try paying with $2.00 dollar bills...that really freaks them out.
Muff
This, and any sort of dollar or fifty cent coin. That Sacajawea dollars really confuse people.
I had an employee at a counter once tell me "I'm sorry, we only accept Amurrrikan currency." They pronounced American the way I spelled it.
To which my reply was.
"It IS American. It's not f**ckin pirate treasure."

"Sorry sir, we don't service Mexico or anywhere outside of the United States":eek:
The place I worked was the Marriott. I experienced that on a daily basis. On the guest registration forms there was a small line for "passport number". This was a form that was printed for ALL Marriott's. I think this may have contributed to the problem.
Best idiot ever was a teacher from the midwest who proclaimed that I spoke excellent English, even though I was in Mexico. I proceeded to inform her that she was still in the US.
At which point she laughed and said, "No dear. I am a school teacher. And in the US we have better schools than probably the one you went to. We have better geography courses than here in Mexico."
At this point an AF guy, who "moonlighted" to make extra pay, came over to us with his US road atlas. Slammed it on the counter and proceeded to "school" her.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving
the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully,
"This is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was spoken.
We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.
This has actually happened to me. To add insult to injury, my "congrats on five loyal years of service " party was earlier that morning.

While I am not that old - I do appreciate and pretty much agree to most of the things presented. I have been reading this blog for a while now and am still not sure if the individual is real.
Having to press ANYTHING for customer service sets me right off.

Hello. I received a few video yesterday and I really feel like sharing with you. Maybe you guys have seen it before. But I think that all those guys working on aircraft carriers are amazing. In the videos, the pilots are just great!!! What a feeling!! ....................John Boy
Carrier was an fanfreakintastic program. You can rent it from netflix now instead of buying it from PBS for whatever the outrageous price is.
That whole nightime landing ep was probably one of the more intense parts of the entire series.
The redhead is a real ballbuster when you see her in action during other episodes.

and the Batman that all looks digital.
I have pics of the one from the Batman movie (think I may have even posted them here). Maybe the STAR scene is digital - but the rest of it is real.

Yeah.
Uh huh.
'Kay.
I dunno either. But I suspect it may just be a problem between the seat and the pc.
