Yeah, uh huh, sure, that's the ticket. ;)

My time schedule has been unusually hectic, due to work and it's almost FFL time, so I need to study for my draft. A very "down" period for board activity, really. Frankly, I don't even know what the date or day is. I just know I work tomorrow. :o

1 week left on the boat for this hitch. 10 days until I depart NY for the long drive to Tampa!!! Kinda stressed about it, but not quite sure why, it shouldn't be a terribly difficult move, assuming the double headed monster that will be my mom and sister trying to micromanage the move in and set up of everything. Might be needing a shovel for them.

Twenty five years ago NWA flight 255 went down while taking off from Detroit airport killing 156 people. My (now) wife and I got to spend the night in the airport as we were scheduled to change planes in Detroit about the same time as it happened. It was an MD88 plane.

The NTSB probable cause statement is as follows: "The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the flightcrew's failure to use the taxi checklist to ensure the flaps and slats were extended for takeoff. Contributing to the accident was the absence of electrical power to the airplane takeoff warning system which thus did not warn the flightcrew that the airplane was not configured properly for takeoff. The reason for the absence of electrical power could not be determined."
The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) provided the evidence regarding the flightcrew omission of the taxi checklist. The stall warning was annunciated. Using the CVR the investigators determined that the aural takeoff warning was not annunciated. The NTSB was unable to determine why there was an electrical power failure to the Central Aural Warning System (CAWS).
"The failure of the takeoff warning system was caused by the loss of input 28V dc. electric power between the airplane’s left dc. bus and the CAWS unit. The interruption of the input power to the CAWS occurred at the P-40 circuit breaker. The mode of interruption could not be determined."

When I was in Detroit earlier this week, one of the news stations had a story on a baby that was the only survivor of a plane crash. She's now about 25 (I think). Is that the same crash?

Also in Michigan earlier this week, someone bought the winning PowerBall ticket. For $337 million. And it wasn't me. :(

Morning Lodge. Today is my Friday!

Yep. Lone survivor was a 2 yo girl. Two motorists died too and some injuries to people at the Hertz office that got clipped by a wing.

Morning.

I think I am going to take the gf to the Carnegie Science Center this weekend. They have an exhibit on guitars that's supposed to be pretty phenomenal. I don't really care about music that much, but i do like museums.

Is drinking a bottle of lowfat chocolate milk better for you than drinking a can of Coke?
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics

I believe soda eats the enamel on your teeth which does not grow back. So milk would be better in that regard, even if it wasn't lowfat.
