Hi Danon -- if only I had a nametag.
Thanks for sharing -- these are hilarious! (Installed cat... hahaha!) I don't know what a DME is, but this one is great: "DME set to more believable level." It reminds me of my Volvo mechanic, who says stuff like... all Volvos leak oil; just put some kitty litter down on the garage floor. Which I did. Haven't had any problem since.
Piff, not all Volvo's leak! Perhaps a chat with your mechanic?
Think of the money you'd save!
Piff, Stradee's right..... Even a Volvo should not leak oil.
A DME is an instrument pilots use to measure the distance to a point such as an airport. It stands for Distance Measuring Equipment.
There are other unusual things pilots say - such as USAF guys reporting their altitude in "angels". As in - Angels 10 - means flying at 10,000 feet. We Army aviators usually didn't get high enough above ground to warrant such glamorous sayings. In my helicopter I could have reported flying at 15 feet. grin...................
Those are funny...........................
QC!!!!!
Quick Click!!
Have a nice weekend all.
Well, THAT post whipped into cyberspace. I'll try again. Anybody else having trouble accessing Care2? Danon, great stuff! Got any more?
Snow, snow and more snow.
We've got snow and snow and snow.
Care2 was fine for me earlier today, Patti.
Have you got lots of candles and a wind-up radio? It's snowing and blowing like a bugger here today. Littlek said that the Cape is expecting a big ole whack of snow over the next 24 - 48 hours. Stay warm!
care2 decided to behave. All clicked in. The prediction is for two feet. If the electricity doesn't quit, it should be nice and restful.

Of the 1977 BBC Boat Race=
"Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the Cambridge president is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew."
At a boxing match=
"Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing - but, none of them serious."
"I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."
"The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it, which is identical."

Merry Andrew and wayfarer,

True story=
While in Alaska - Fairbanks - one winter, I awoke one morning to find all the autos in the parking area by my quarters had disappeared. They were under snow. We all had "block" parties to dig out the cars as part of a community effort.

Wow. Haven't seen a blizzard like this since Jacques was in Japan and I had nobody to dig me out - musta been '64 or "65.
And Danon, I was one of the 80%, and thats WHY he married me! Oh those French Canadians!
How's it going, Merry A? We are really getting socked here.
Take care, pwayfarer. I've heard rumours of 6 foot drifts on the Cape.
Bundle up girl.
Think of a warmer day...
