    TEST

    Back up under a different name?
  2. Apparently, I'm from Ecuador.
  3. Can't get away from plastic. About 30 years ago we went from dumps to waste-to-energy. About ten years ago, we went to sorting our trash and putting all the plastics/paper in a separate bin which we now have a W2E and Recycle facility. It's been a model that other cities/countries come to visit to emulate.
  4. Hmmmm... Thank you. I hadn't thought of that in years. I may have to pass on the 50 states and do this. This is my last year for a long bike ride, so saying I did the Canonball would be like a WFFC rite of passage. Time to give it up. Getting too painful as time goes on.
  5. Thank you, but I'm beginning to think it would be easier to pencil in a route on an old-fashioned map. Wonder if Rick wants to go :)
  6. Thank you, Jerry. Google was able to find the 1996 map, but it appears they didn't hit all 50 states.
  7. The other day; I asked Gemini to plan a 48 state motorcyle trip where I don't go through any state twice. I think I broke it.
  8. And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all, and I stood tall And did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, oh, no, not me I did it my way For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way
  9. He did not prioiritize humanites over engineering - in addiiton to. My suspicion is Kallend being a well-read scholar found Aristotle's model of liberal arts to be of value. To be more well-rounded in many subjects other than their major - For what is an engineer that cannot speak/present to a group other than engineers?
  10. Jump the main for a few to get re-oriented. Get an AAD. Reserve will be fine as long as the rigger doesn't ground it (for age or other reasons). My ground training after a nine year hiatus wearing the rig was, "What's that handle do? What's that handle do? What's that handle do? There's a plane with a slot on it, take it to 5k and do a HnP. Don't die." I heard. Have fun. Be safe.
