Was the 2nd one,

to fly the new 'sim', today. Nate (pictured) got to be first,( just cuz he developed the software), BUT, my landing was smoother. OK, I did stall out and we augered into the ground on my first big turn, but hey, I'm a rookie pilot. The screen was configured to look like the airspace in and around Lafayette, IN, home of Purdue Univ, (where the sim is headed later tonight), and I flew low over the Wabash River. I didn't realize it, but Purdue has a large flight training center. Will be the 3rd sim they get, but the first of this type (Cirrus). Pretty cool stuff and was neat to be one of the first to fly it. Did make me queasy, again, and when I got out of the cockpit, took awhile to stop 'moving'. Sorta like when you get off a boat that's been rocking and all of a sudden you're on the dock where it's not. Really amazing what these kids have built. Not only the products, but also the company. Huge amount of brain power and hard work involved. Congratulations, this company is really gonna take off. See 'em here http://www.rjsim.com/

How cool is that!!! Too bad you didn't film your flight, profanities and all.
Dennis would be so envious.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
