TCAS? Near miss?

I was on a flight from Chicago to Tampa recently (this is the return from the Colorado trip) and saw some ish that really got my attention. While heading up hill in a Ted A319 (around 25K), I looked out the window to see an American Airlines MD-80 passing over our heads by no more the 500 feet! It may have been more. It may have been less. Whatever the case, it was a suprise to say the least.

Oh well. I'm still here so what am I crying about?

Boots!!!!!!!

I want these!




Now here's to hoping I can buy a pair this weekend. Of course, all is not lost. I do have a set of these making there way to me right now via UPS.



Colorado turned out to be pretty cool. :-)

Colorado bound! I'm outta here to go put my feet high, eat food, and be in good company. Oh, let's not forget flirting with cute airline girls, err......, ladies.

I hope there's a pool somewhere too come to think of it.

Woes of a Gunfighter

I wonder just how much Cable really loved Domino.

Selflessness has a unique pain at times. A characteristic all it's own depending on the circumstance. Understanding, as a companion is no less sharp and has no respect in it's cutting. What needs to be held should be held. What needs to be cared for shall be cared for. What needs to be thought of will be thought of. And what must be let go must be let go of.

But what if I'm tired of letting go? What if I'm tired of seeing my freinds deal with lifes bogeys on their own? What if for their sake, I want to enter into the furball and splash targets? I am not new to struggle. I am not new to conflict. What if I want to put nose on target and hear the growling? I am a Gunfighter! There are none better.

But what should be a flight of two is flight of one with precious cargo. I don't want to fight alone. I don't want to fly alone. Because back at the nest, I don't want to be without those that I've come to love. Because back at the nest, I want to hold you and talk to you. Because back at the nest I want to put your head on my shoulder and squeeze. I want to pull you in close and tell you that you and your precious cargo are both precious too me and I want to do so every day as long as my engines continue to roar.

In the company of eagles, bonds should not so lightly be broken.

Or made?

How I love old cars sometimes.



Yeah, that was a bummer.

Of course, there are good sides too. Since I ended up with a week rental on a car, I've also fixed the leaking oil pan and will install my IPD adjustable panhard and torque rods. I also got a new cold side wheel and housing for my girl too.



That's a V or S trim wheel inside of a Nissan quick spool housing that's been ported big time. The inducer is a good bit larger then the original 60 wheel that came with those setups or Super 60's.

This is a just a temp setup. I'm still planning on the 50 trim setup, but at least this way I can get things together and worked out in general.
