Morning all!

Yes, it's a party. My job is simply to keep the boat in a specific area of the lake, and not go floating around and crashing into whatever may be out there. Fortunately, it's supposed to rain, and if it does, just as well. It now means I get to baby sit at the door of the lodge they'll be using. I'm paid either way.

Oye, time for sleep. Have a good one SoCal!

Why did you run it out of diesel? The way you make it sound is that you just drove it around till it ran outta go-go juice.

I'd be way too chicken to get into that thing.

That canopy has a lot of leverage. I'm wondering how it's deployed prior to taking off.

Flying cars are nothing new, have been around since the 1930's. Mechanix Illustrated in the 1950's had a feature for a do-it-yourself flying car.

Yesterday, on the curb near the trash can I saw that my neighbor had a box with some old cassette tapes, VHS tapes and some CDs. I took the whole box and I found a whole set of 3 CDs called "The Summer of Peace, Love & Music" - "Limited 25th Anniversary Edition" "-Original Artist - Original Hits." They were even new and were still in the plastic. I thought they were the Woodstock recordings from August 15th, 16th, and 17th '69...They are the studio versions... Just a little random trivia, Woodstock occurred for 3 days, one of which was my birthday, 25 years before I was born.

If it was 25 years before you were born, how could it have been your birthday?

you have to stop and deploy the canopy and mast first.

That's what I mean...I wonder how you get it up there? It's gotta be fairly heavy.

That would be something interesting to fly. Kind of like a a home-built helicopter. I would totally rock the helicopter.
