ryoder 1,590 #578 January 15, 2015 Calvin19 https://vimeo.com/116622517 Fun at work. We took the company UAS out for a personal shoot in 4k. This big bird (~35lb)came back after a 3min flight with .25" of clear ice on the LEs of the rotor blades. Got pretty unresponsive and hard to control for the hand catch. (slope is very steep, almost impossible to climb up there let alone level space to use as a pad) First flight we did with the lighter test ship and accumulated half that in a longer flight. Icing, in every encounter I have had with it, is nothing to fuck with. Unless the aircraft is not yours and you're not in it!Continued flight into known icing!

airtwardo 7 #581 January 15, 2015 Giving a Flyin' lesson....Edited to add: Newly minted flight attendant was talking about how hard the month of training she went through was...asked the pilot how long THEIR training is ~ pilot said something about 6 weeks of initial company training and orientation. "Two more weeks and I could have been a PILOT?!" Ummm....yeah, I guess so! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyMarko 1 #582 January 15, 2015 My boyfriend wanted a cat. I didn't want a cat. So, we compromised and got a cat Truth be told, I love the little fucker. He's an Ocicat and his name is Taco. He doesn't shed (seriously, at all), he's playful as hell yet loves to cuddle, and him and I have totally bonded. He follows me all around the house and I love it. I've even taught him to fetch!!! My boyfriend's dog is a 4 lbs Yorkie, and the second pic is of the cat about to pounce. Charlie, the dog, is 12 and almost blind. But they love to play together and get along great. (Insert joke here about Johnny loving a taco) ETA: He's only about 6 months right now, about 9 lbs...he's going to be a beast And for you fellow aquarium nerds, I'm about to get a new shipment of African cichlids this weekend, so I'll update this after the weekend....it's always about pets.

oldwomanc6 52 #583 January 16, 2015 That is one beautiful cat! I used to have one that would fetch all day long and bring it back to be thrown again (I always got tired of the game before she did), and she would sit on command, too! Some cats are smarter (and more dependent on us) than they would like to believe. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick 67 #591 January 28, 2015 My wife and I dressed for formal night on the cruise we just took. 15 family members from San Diego, Detroit, Raleigh, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando met in San Juan. Boarded the Jewel of the Seas the next day and hit St. Croix, St. Maarten, Antigua, Martinique and Barbados. What a great trip. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

Family and I are booked for two weeks out of San Juan this July. Actually just booked the flights today. It was a great trip. I love to travel with Royal Caribbean. The water was beautiful down there. I had never been that far south and East before. Next time though we may look for 1 that has a sea day in the middle of the cruise. Hitting a new port everyday for 5 days can get tiring. I still made the most of my premium drink pass. Also I would have liked to spend an extra day in San Juan. We got in Friday and sailed out on Saturday.You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #598 January 30, 2015 Seems many of my hobbies involve a target. I've improved with the pistol. Having fun with the knives as well. Waiting for it to get warm enough to jump again. DavidI know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
