“it’s not him!“

So some cheesball shows up and claims to be a kid from the greater Chicago area who was kidnapped (or who disappeared) 7 years earlier.

Turns out it isn’t him, but some asshole who, for some reason, claimed to be Timothy Pitzen.

Imagine the joy his family must have felt, upon learning that Timothy had surfaced.

Now imagine the pain they must feel, having the old would reopened when they are informed that this asshole isn’t Timothy.

This asshole (I won’t use his name) should be beaten daily for the rest of his life for this. With barbed wire. Dipped in vinegar. And salt.

Took off at 15Z runway 18 headed south ish to the “practice” area.

put on the foggles and did a slow climb to 3500ft at a heading of 240. Not a big deal.

2 minute turn at that altitude. Easy Peasy.

Climbed at 500FPM from 3500 to 4000 at a steady 90 knots. Not a an issue.

Turning while climbing at a steady airspeed and a standard rate turn.
Yeah, that’s an issue.

integrating it all was tough. like juggleing cats while standing on a beachball.

2 out of three? Ok, three out of three? Gonna take some practice.

Plus, I never realized how much those small visual cues….the sight of the ground in my peripheral vision…..were a part of my flying.

And we won’t even talk about my scan. It broke down when I had to do turns AND climbs AND at a constant speed. Really easy to fixate.

1.2 hours simulated instrument time.  and it was WORK.

Gonna take some more practice and some more time. Lots more work.

One landing with a nearly perfect 45 crosswind. 12 gusting 22. ‘Twasn’t bad, but could have been better.  Saved the brakes and rolled out to the end.

Put it back in the barn.

Hopefully, more on Friday.

“Since I graduated High school (likely before, but I wasn’t paying attention before that), The FBI has been a joke as far as the Fidelity and Integrity part of their motto. See also: the debacle with Randy Weaver”

“Weaver was a racist” (nice diversion there)

“No, Weaver was a “Separatist” big difference. Still, the FBI was pretty bad, even back then.”

“He chose to live away from black people. That makes him a racist” (doesn’t wanna talk about the FBI)

“Oh, so YOU are a racist, then, also?”

“How can you say that?”

“You too are a separatist…..You live in a VERY “white” area. What, 3% “African American”? Yet not 15 miles away is an area with much higher black and latino population. Like 25%. Go another 10 miles and you are in an area that is 80+% black. And it is closer to where you work. Cheaper property values there too…. Yet you choose to live in an area that is, essentially, all white , a longer commute and cost more to live…..Why is that?…Don’t wanna live with the crime, the rudeness, or deal with the cultural issues? Or is it some other reason that you don’t live near many black people?…Are YOU racist?”

So the subject was changed…sharply. But made him think.

Odd, innit, how people cry “racist” and such, yet separate themselves if only by the simple method of cost of housing…and then claim they are “holier that thou”.

SJW types really irritate me.

Yep, been there. 

Do y’all vet your Prime delivery people? Or do you just hire the first folks that come in the door? Recruit them in bus stations and rehab clinics? Some government program for unsocialized whacked out individuals?

I mean, really. I get a different person every time that y’all don’t use Fed-Ex or UPS or USPS which is about 3/4 of the time lately….and they’re scary derelict looking folks.  And they obviously Just Don’t Care…..Or, perhaps their workload is such that they feel that it is OK to just toss the package out of the Prime Delivery van onto the middle of the driveway (and my driveway is only 100 ft long).

There is no method on your website I can find to report such behavior, nor give feedback on your drivers. I’d rather you used one of the other three carriers. 

At this rate, I’m gonna have to seriously consider not ordering from you and look hard at your competitors. And I have been a customer for (literally) 20 years. 

But, like many things in Chicago (Voter Fraud, bribery, etc), it is so BLATANT. They don’t even try to hide their misdeeds. They just do it and the people (and the Media) let them get away with it.

The Pentagon has formally greenlighted the transfer of up to $1 billion towards the construction of “roads and fences” as well as lighting along the US-Mexico border wall, as part of a crackdown on drug trafficking.
In a memo to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristjen Nielsen, acting defense chief Patrick Shanahan wrote that he authorized the US Army Corps of Engineers to “immediately begin planning and executing up to $1 billion” in support of the range of activities necessary to seal “11 drug-smuggling corridors.”

The money was allocated by the Congress of the United States to the Pentagon for military uses . It isn’t the Pentagons to give away for other purposes, nor is it Donnie’s choice where that money goes.

I gotta say, this comes close to bordering on unconstitutional and illegal actions.
