We had our furry friend Grover for twelve years, and his health issues forced us to make a really hard decision today. We didn't want him to suffer any more, and as hard as it was we had to let him go. You never really know how attached you can get to a dog until the end when it feels like a part of you has been ripped out. He was the best dog ever; a big personality and just an all-around chill little unit. Miss you already, Furry G.

Edit: Thanks for all the kind words, guys. It's why I keep coming back here over & over. You're all a solid bunch.

Passed my B200 PIC checkride yesterday, now I'm ready for the annual Nantucket charter madness to begin come Memorial Day. Until then I just sit in the left seat and make airplane noises.

Saw this driving thru my hood today.

Tail of the Dragon: 1
Ferrari 488: 0

Reminds me of the old saw - "A Ferrari owner is not necessarily a Ferrari driver"

I went for a ride in this guy's Taycan yesterday. When I asked him about its acceleration vs the Model S, he said "Hang on a second" and pushed a few buttons. (I knew what was coming next) From about a 30mph roll, he matted it and..

Holy. Rat. Balls. The acceleration can only be described as violent. I made sure my head was up against the headrest but getting shoved back into the seat so hard kinda felt like a rib got pushed out of place. And this wasn't even the Turbo S model, which he said is faster. wtaf

@ttyymmnn Interesting. I didn't realize there was any kind of formal agreement.

@farscythe we're all standoffish weirdos

I have the tattoo!!

@ForSweden

So much for the ban on fixed-wing aircraft for the Army.

When was there ever a ban on fixed-wing a/c for the Army? They're operated Twin Bonanzas, Barons, King Airs, deHavilland Caribous since the 50s/60s.
That RC-12 is a neat plane; I fly the civilian version B200.

@ttyymmnn Yep, but there was a whole lotta crazy behind hers.

First thing I thought of? Ford's Flex. Nissan Cube. Scion xB. Land Rover LR3. This Explorer has contours on the sides at least, so it's not quite as bad as these I mentioned.

@Skyfire77 I saw it when it came out. Back before Sean Young got all loony.

@Skyfire77 Thanks for the reminder of just how dopey that movie was.

@ttyymmnn Love this video. Probably safe to assume somebody named Hog isn't the brightest of the bunch.

@Esotericars I suppose that's the case, but a 250k markup for a 238k car???

@Krusty-Walnut said in When ADM is higher than MSRP:

@Turbineguy-Nom-de-Zoom He has a nice garage. I'm guessing the person who pays that ADM is also the person who hires a King Air to move their wine collection.

LOL. You remember that story, huh? Yeah, could be the same dude I 'spose.
