Speaking of Heks in Movies, I was watching the Unit today. At the end they had Top Sargeant picked up by a Herk using the balloon and whiskers arrangement. It was pretty cool. I understand there were only a few real pickups similar to this.
Wil
It was also used in the Batman movie.

If you close to the border - you could probably have someone make them for you.
I am willing to bet there is someone in TJ who can make them.

ZOMG! I love that linkage!!

By "bad bomb" I was using that term in the typical airlift speech, it means an airdrop gone bad:rolleyes:
Dan
Apologies. I was kind of puzzled, because imo - there is no such thing as a bad bomb. >_<
Well, maybe bad if you are the guy hiding in a spiderhole and a bunker buster is about to turn your acre of dirt into a walmart parking lot.

Nice Herk to buy. I agree with the racing stripes. Maybe some flames with a blue pearl.
wil
ghost flames in blue pearl?

I only post in this thread because I personally know someone who is currently "upgrading death from above" for our enemies.

That second image comes from a photographer named Oleg Volk.

Instead of sand paper on that dry wall try a big sponge and a bucket of H2O. Makes less of a mess to clean up.
I used to do that. But sometimes I would get a little over zealous and then the thin paper on the drywall would pull up. Thus creating another task.
I got one of those small sanders.
You forgot the "Wrigleys Fuse": That foil device that, when wrapped around a blown fuse and reinserted, allows you to find the failling component and let all of the trapped smoke out of the offending equipment. Suitable substitutes include safety wire and scews/bolts depending upon the configuration of the fuse holder.Old school Hostess Ding-Dong foil wrappers worked for larger jobs. Like seating lamp bulbs that have become loose.

All of that was true.
Just finished some dry wall installation, on sunday. Will be thinking about the sander one while I am fixing the corners tomorrow.
The more you try to get the mud perfect - the worse it gets. Then you end up sanding about 2/3rds of it off. Only to discover that you missed a spot or overdid a spot and now have to level it all out by adding more mud.
I think that might fall under that "ouija priniciple"

Honestly - if you have not already seen this site, you have missed quite a bit.
You know you have been at Walmart once or twice, and had seen something that could never be described or explained with a stragiht face. Or if you did, people thought you were drunk or making it all up. And you wished you had remembered your cellphone that has a camera. Or you had wished your cellphone had a camera.
Not to worry though - someone else was able to get that pic.

Just why would the volume if the sink be important?
Muff
Make some booze? Wash their delicates? Love potion number nine?

There was a dead bunny on the road this morning. I had actually considered doing that exact same thing. But then thought of all the nasty emails from the neighborhood, I would get. And decided it jut was not worth the effort.

Sorry, but the "A-Team" must have been the stupidest, lamest show I had ever watched on TV (and that IS saying something).Dan
This was my opinion as well. But I am willing to sit through however many minutes of a movie just to see a herk. Maybe just wait for it on DVD because you know that that scene has to be somewhere in the first part of the movie, because it appears to be an escape scene.
How do you fire a million rounds and not kill anything is beyond me:confused:Dan

All this talk about old Farts begs the question, how old do you have to be to be an old Fart?
Wil
Did Jesus sign your high school yearbook?
thanks for that first link -I had been trying to find something that would hold all of my paperwork and miscellaneous crap for my job. That was the thing I was describing to someone but could not remember the "proper" name for it. I only have a bin the size of a ream of copy paper to hold two clipboards, a folder and other items. It was becoming a game of tetris, fitting everythng in there.

No storyOk, this story must be told. - but the platypus is venemous. I learned that you never eat anything venemous. Even though the venom is in the toes/talons of the male - how you gonna know if the one you caught is male or female? And do you really want to eat something that bizarre looking? Things in nature that do not taste good or are poisonous are ugly or red.
-
when Dan said flamethrower - my mind immediately went to that.
-
I learned that all birds are edible. And this was from the jungle survival school guys in the PI.
I know that the platypus is not safe to eat. That I did not learn from those guys in the PI.

I do not recognize many of those terms that the woman is supposed to do.
What is these things you call "salad", "vegetables", and "cutlery".
Who eats steak with sauce?
Maybe I should take a pic of our "grill plaza" that we are building.

If the problem bird is pigeon - then you need to move the "owls" every other week. Pigeons are sort of smart and figure out fake owls if they do not get moved around.
The spikes would probably detract from the beauty of the choppah. And they have to be glued down to the surface.
Pigeons adapt very easy. Which is why they are so prolific. Their flocks only are the size that their environment can provide. If food is scarce, then the size of the flock is small.
To bad the problem is birds and not rodents
-
To bad there is no " F11 hot key" for real life.
On the plus side - Rush Limbaugh should be leaving right?

I know this may sound like a very odd answer - baby lotion. My father had discovered it by accident one day. Being an AGE he was always getting some sort of petroleum product in his clothes and on his body. I think he told me he was fixing something after he came home from work. Needed something to lubricate somthing else with mineral oil or whatever. Did not have mineral oil, did not have baby oil (which is scented mineral oil) but had baby lotion. Discovered that it pulled the fuel/oil/tar whatever from his hands.
I now use baby lotion to pull diesel off my hands after fueling. The cheaper lotions do not work as well as J&J brand name. The trick is to use it like hand cleaner. Slather it on then wipe it off on a towel.
You should have called.
What is in the garage-mahjal in varying states of restoration:
1954 Ford Crestline. My second car and everyday ride until 2001. When the hemp seal on the pumpkin blew. (Yes I said hemp) Everything on the car is original. I am the second owner. Just need to replace that and new battery and good to go.
1951 Buick Sedanette. His dream car. Still runs. Was traded for some work. It was in a backyard in the valley.
1965 International truck.
1966 Chevy pick up. The squirrels seem to keep finding a way in.
1935 Ford Model 51 truck. We got that as a trade for helping a guy clear his property. It is an old forest service truck.
1956 DKW RT250 motorcycle - my project> http://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp255/FrauleinM/DKW%20RT250/ Do not know what the previous owner did to it. But, the piston was jammed up into the chamber so much that the rod was bent. We got it out by using a pneumatic press.
1974 Toyota Land Cruiser. Dropped a V8 in it.
1976 MGB V8 - this was his engineering masters degree project. It has a Buick Aluminum block V8. To get things to fit under the hood without altering the outward appearance, many things were hand crafted, or modified. Or just flat out removed.
But I helped with the wiring, because I have the smaller hands.
His most recent acquisition is a little Berkley. Plans for it are to make it into a salt flat racer.
