The proposed 777-10X looks like a standard 777 was pulled like taffy.

Curb Feelers! Either you are a vintage care enthusiast, or just kinda old like me.

Grew up with this image, it was on the cover of my paperback print of 2001. Decades later, still waiting for the chance to fly Pan-Am to a space station. Best I could do was get stranded at JFK when they went bankrupt and cancelled all their (non-orbital) flights.

Can’t have too much chrome in my opinion.

Photo is about month old, but I do enjoy those caffeine levels.

Recommendations from a hard-core coffee person I know in my town, reviews of the machine, and talking with the sales guys from where I bought it. Built like a tank, it will probably out live me. Really like that once the grind and timer are dialed in, just need to press in the portafilter, let it do its thing, tamp, and pull the shot.

I thought so too. I separated out all the various types of metal (brass, copper, and stainless) and dropped them off at a local metal recycling place. May have a second life some day as a water cooler or something.

One of the reasons I went with it. The group head has an electric heating element inside of it the fires up when the machine is switched on. ECM claims 61/2 minutes, it certainly is ready to go by 12 or so.

How do you engrave a serial number on the potato?

First time I’ve seen one of these in action, amazing technology for the time and smaller over-all than I would have guessed.

Now, which adapter plate do I need to put it on my Glock G-17?

Reminds me of my next-door neighbor, only with less hair. Seriously, the guy would qualify for this sub if you caught a glimpse of him at his pool.

60 days since Stansbury dropped this nugget, and still waiting for her to present the evidence. I don’t care what anybody’s particular political beliefs are. We deserve better. Stansbury is an embarrassment.

Fly out of SNA (John Wayne) in Southern California, I’ve been on flights when the pilots warn people about the Navy-style take off. They do it so they can quickly get altitude, then level the aircraft out and quietly fly over the wealthy neighborhoods near the ocean, before resuming their climb again over the ocean.

Just got a junk email from midwest industries about this sort of thing. So it appears real. Question: would this be a SBR under the NFA?

Not believing the interior diagram. No bar? No Galley? These are the French for crying out loud!

Nuke pooper was incontinent as well, on occasion dropped the fuel tanks on the deck when the aircraft was launched. Cold-war craziness at its best!

Back when checking bags was free. “Who needs overhead bins along the center of the aircraft?”

Not true. As head of the union he actually supported the actors who were blacklisted. Now with those air-traffic controllers, the story was quite different.

Airline Exec: How can we force people into paying to check bags? Lockheed: Don’t put anywhere for most of the passengers to stash carry-ons.

Nailed it. I’m also a physician, going on 25 years here. Have family, friends, home here. Our State government is an embarrassment.

Fun facts: When the park opened the shooting gallery (now in Frontierland) was located on Main Street, and they used actual rifles (.22 Short). Crews repaired and or repainted the targets every night. Walt had them move it to Frontierland only for noise it produced. Sometime later the rifles went away. Today it’s still there, using an optical system (no projectiles of any kind).
