42 years ago today, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. 7:10 PM.

I knew a dude whose older brother was lost on the Fitz.

He hated Gordon Lightfoot.

and get a whole shitload of 20’s and do THIS, then turn ’em in for more.

HAHAHAHAHA

HA.

Say “Happy Birthday” to each Marine you know.

Just FYI. They’ve been protecting your country since 1775

Sadly, I have not found that time yet.

I still can’t land for shit.

Fly? Yep. Airmanship? Getting there, but am adequate right now.

Correcting for wind? Easy Peasy.

Navigating? Not that hard, really.

Pilotage? Meh, a breeze.

Pattern? Not that difficult.

Not beating the plane up trying to return to the ground? Yeah, That’s a challenge still.

Were it not for landings, I’d have soloed by now.

Of the 31 landings I have done, 2 were good by skill, 5 more were adequate due to skill. The others were hard, or drifting, or not centered, or too fast, too early, too late, too hard, etc. Any other good ones were, at best, luck.

Tomorrow promises steady winds at 8 from the east. I shall try again to get my “Aha” moment.

Remind me never to buy a plane that has been owned by a flight school.  

Just bizzy.

Plus, I got nothing to say.

Go read the folks on the left. They are smarter and more insightful than me anyway. 

For all the folks (and survivors) of the church attack in Texas.

Seems to have been a “Fizzle“.

Rumor has it that it was because the new IPhone was released the day before, and the Antifa participants were too busy figuring out the new features on their new phones to participate in their special day.

I shop at both Home Depot and Menards. Often, Menards has an 11% rebate, which makes their pricing somewhat more competitive…However, also, often the quality of Menards products is….lacking compared to items sold at Home Depot.

Did you know that Home Depot will price match? And that Home Depot will give you an 11% rebate that matches the rebates offered by Menards?

Yep. It is true. If the Menards in your area is offering an 11% (or any) rebate, then the local Home Depot will do the same.

And, the best part? You can apply for it online.

HERE

No paper form and finding an envelope and a stamp.  The rebate come faster, and on a gift card rather than a paper form like Menards.

One wonders why the Home Depot folks don’t advertise this…they lose business to Menards every time there is that (well advertised) 11% rebate at their competitor. 

Yep, that they did.

HERE

That it ain’t the Amish…

It isn’t the Jews
It isn’t the Bhuddists

Not Koreans
Nor Thailanders
Nor Canadians (except recent immigrants)
It isn’t the South Africans
It isn’t the Australians (except recent immigrants)

‘Taint the Russians (except those from predominantly Muslim Countries)
It’s not the Hindus
Not the Chinese (except those from Muslim areas)

Not the Latinos
Not, mostly Christians (in all their various flavors)

Nor the Native peoples from North America, nor even the poor Mexicans who are invading the US….

It is one group that does this. Not all of them, but predominantly from one group. Islam. (I am just glad they all seem to be so terribly inept, so they aren’t able to kill more of my countrymen, of whatever culture/race/religion)

Yet the mayor of New York wants, somehow, to vet people so this sort of attack like the one perpetrated on 1/1/17 in his city doesn’t happen again……but he doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feeling, either:
“There should be very, very careful vetting of anyone where there is an indication of concern, but not because of their religion or not because of their country of origin,” he said.

And he is hungry for an Omelette, but he doesn’t wanna break any eggs either.
