Damned commie holiday.

I mean, apparently these two folks were able to kill 10 and injure another 15 with KNIVES, a better toll that many “Mass Shootings”.

Perhaps these were high capacity assault knives or something.

Man steals King Air 90 and threatens to crash into Walmart. 

As of posting, he still has 2 hours of fuel left and isn’t over Tupelo Missouri any longer.

It isn’t hard to steal a plane, Starting it and taking off (and controlling it once in the air) can be challenging if you don’t know what you are doing, but none of them are that difficult.

I have a feeling that he won’t land it well, and that the plane will be paid off by insurance. Let us hope he doesn’t hurt anyone else.

Update: he has apparently landed. 

In a field.

President Brandon Potatohead says that I (and most of my friends and acquaintances) are Enemies of the State.

So be it. I ain’t gonna change what I stand for in fear of a senile old man or the power he thinks (or at least whoever writes his speeches thinks) he can bring to bear.

Leave me alone. Or don’t …Your choice. I am old enough not to care anymore. Your worst fear, really. Got nuthin’ to lose.

Bring it.

I’m a law abiding citizen…. ain’t looking for trouble. But make war on me and mine and…well, fuck around and find out.

So a DNC led (for more than 40 years) city, with Black leadership for over 20 years, that cannot manage it’s infrastructure or finances is somehow the result of racism because their water supply is damaged by flooding.

But it is, of course, the white Man’s fault. 

They can’t run the city, they can’t plan for the future, they can’t do any infrastructure improvements, they ahve no funding plan ecept)get the State or the Feds to pay for it”.

But it isn’t the black mayor’s fault, or the DNC led city government, so it MUST be the white (conservative) people who are keepin’ the blacks down…Except the fact that the DNC and the “People Of Color “have run the city for over 40 years.

Perhaps if they learned to take the blame for mismanagement they could learn enough to improve things instead of running them down.

One of the pilots I interact with was a Federal agent in a three Letter agency….Law enforcement. .

Was.

He got tired of the games, the lies, and the political bias and decided to move to a different Federal agency.

He’s tracking fraud now, liking the job much less but able to look into the mirror every morning without hating who he sees.

He admits that he didn’t fix the problem in the agency but he is not struggling with “Follow orders or lose your job” every day. He made the choice to remove himself from the battle.

It isn’t a fix, but it is a start. He’s a good man, and was caught between a rock and a hard place. It is his belief that there is no fix for the agency he left.

So it would seem that in Nevada, they are still gonna use machines to count the votes, but will also hand count ’em to make sure there are no…..Shennanigans, shall we say.

Something like 70% of the American people doubt the integrity of our elections. I’d like to see more states follow Nevada’s lead.

We used to have ballots that we filled out here in Indiana….that were counted by a machine, but which were also batch audited by hand…Now we don’t even get a ballot we can verify, much less one that can be verified after machine counting.

Odd how that changed shortly after Trump won in his landslide, innit? Before that, we all trusted our elections.

Below is the best photo I could get of the cam on the TSIO-520NB engine.

While not the best photo, if you look closely there are three different colors of metal showing, and some galling.

This was taken through the hole where the cylinder belongs.

Parts are not available for it at this time. Ram engines will not release a replacement cam to other builders (who do have cylinders) and they claim that they do not have the cylinders to do a rebuild. We are looking at possibly doing an IRAN instead, and are awaiting a quote from Ram Engines.

On the other hand, the rest of the annual inspection is going well so far.

Man ENRAGES animal rights activists by calmly eating kebab in front of them

Funny as hell.

Another date from the future in the movies
