I am just trying to get thru my last 3 work days without punching someone in there face, it seems like everyone lately has a "issue" I need handle.

Tomorrow is an off day and I will stay in my room and pre pack my bag and a 1/2 of stuff, and try to stay below the radar.

With 6 1/2 day left in here in country my "I could give a sh$% less" meter is bottomed out, and the needle is wrapped around the stop pin. lol

 

Ain't you just a big ole effin ray of sunshine. Looks like it'll make you appreciate Penny that much more when you get home.

 

Rich. Boy do I know what you mean. My last few days in country it seemed like everybody knew it and tried to get me to fix all the stuff nobody else wanted to, or knew how to fix.

Hang in there, brother. Just a few more days.

I think I'm done bolting pieces to the '66.
I'm gonna wash the mold off of it and snap a few pictures.

 

Well Chip is went from bad to worse.....on a tight formation NVG take off chalk 2 (the helo behind us by 20 ft) starts screaming "Chalk one you are leaking something big time out the left side, you better land now".

Ok quick ck, rotor speed NR/Np ck both eng's running ck, both got fuel pressure ck, both eng oil pressure/temp ck, TGT (turbine gas temp) ck, hydraulics pressure ck, trans pressure and temp ck. AFCS (auto flt control sys) ck.

We we go from take off attitude w/power pulled in, to a big "throw out the anchor" whoa boy and put it back down on the end of the run way, that gets the heart pumping.

The we get out, flashlight the hell outa it while its still running, I put my fwd crewchief back in and they hover it while I stand out side and ck it out. All the passengers are like "What the hell". We ck a few more op systems, can't find nothing, figure chalk 2 in on crack and away we go to the embassy in the dark.

3 days, 3 days, 3 days......still no idea what they saw, we had nothing on the taxiway or the belly of the bird.

Cheer up Chip I will be back soon and plan a road trip to come get some of those bacon patties and look around the ol shop and console Ms dent about here abandonment issue she is experiencing. lol JK.

 

She's got abandonment issues
Turns out a buddy of mine has a 77 mud truck. You make it up we'll have to run over to Tim's and check it out.

 

Can I come?

....I like Ford trucks too.

 

sounds like rich has short timers brain.. a one digit midget.. just stay low rich the freedom bird is on its way

 

rich i hope it wasn't blue (or yellow) water they seen... ha ha ha

 

We don't have a "head" on board, so no chance of that RC, lol. I think we ended up having exhaust vapors (when viewed under the NVG's) somehow look like liquid.....

There is a gang drain on the each of the belly and it sometimes gets excess fuel, oil and fumes all sent to the same area and we are thinking that is what happened.

Better safe than sorry. Yea Alan you can ride along.

 

ha ha ha i knew that rich.. unless things have really changed since i last flew on a heuy............ good morning missouri

 

Oh no they have not changed that much, just a twin eng pack and a cobra power train (d/s and g/b) that all.

Besides this was all taking place on the S-61 AKA big bird......

Morning back at you, what are you doing up so early? I figure you needed some more beauty sleep, lol JK.

 

i dont wanna get too much beauty sleep...i have a hard enough time now keeping the women chased off..

 

'Mornin'.

I'm up. I have to call this guy with the injector problem. I tested the 6 injectors I can get to. There's two more under the intake. The six I could get to ohmed out fine. I need to test the other two, then test the computer. I need to see how serious he is about fixing the truck. He had it up for sale until I said I could fix it. He may just put it back up for sale if it gets too complicated.

Then later I want to go pick up that '50 so I can get crackin' on the frame.

 

Someone write this down, it has to be some kind of record. Almost 24 hours and no posts!

I couldn't sleep again. (big surprise) I'll try again here in a little bit.

I'm gonna try and get the '50 here today, but we'll see what happens. 'Hope everyone is doin' ok.

 

Well I have been up since Fri am, flipping over to days on my one day off did not work so I woke up at 11 am fri and went to work at 0400 Sat, and still havent slept.

And I'm getting sick, and screwed up my back again today, just got off work 10 1/2 hrs later....I am so ready to leave, only one more day to fly.

I'd be posting but all you Mo folks are asleep, when I am up.
