Wow I will have to take the rest of my vacation to catch up on this thread LOL. Mark the weather down at Myrtle was perfect, we cleared the storm in Ashville and it was sunny and perfect beautiful warm weather the entire time. We managed to get out of there before the Fall Bike fest started.

Joe welcome back to the good ol USA thank you so much for your service and welcome to high oil prices .

I cannot take credit for this, except for passing it on.


For those with no children - this is totally hysterical!
For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.
For those who have children this age, this is not funny.
For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.

The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas...

Things I've learned from my Boys (honest and not kidding):
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. House
4 inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with rollerblades, they can ignite.
3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough,however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words uh oh, it's already too late.
8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.
11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12.) Super glue is forever.
13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15.) VCR's do not eject PB sandwiches even though TV commercials showthey do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.
21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.
25.) Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

Oh, Justin, little girls will try to do some of that stuff also. I have 2 of them and they have suprised me almost everyday since they were born. Poor things are just like me and like to play with everything they can get their hands on, be it make-up, spray paint (green looks good on power strips, just ask my oldest), carb cleaner, bug spray (my youngest thought it would make her pest of sister go away), tools and everything else you can think of.

Yes it does, just like clorox and ammonia. My grandfather used to dump that in the rat holes on the farm. Do not breathe it in though it will kill you.

Aerospace propulsion specialist is the official term. Jetmech is the shorthand.

Not intentionally. Just passing along what little bit I've picked up along the way. But thanks, high praise indeed coming from you.
