Within the second? That’s pretty impressive.

So, maybe this ol’ girl can best a 14.0 after all.

I just may try it sometime.

On a track, of course; this isn’t “American Graffiti” out here.

Just a short hop..

An old bird

[HKMk23]

HEY, now that’s really cool!

There’s just no substitute for the sound of those big radial engines.

The Collings foundation brings their birds out here to Buchanan Field [CCR] once in awhile, and I’ve enjoyed climbing around in them; it’s like climbing into history itself. But that B-29 is something else, again.

Thanks for sharing!

They are a great looking bird ,aren’t they. (?)
Good to see another one return to the skies.

Our Lancaster has been fixed, but the Vulcan is now ‘permanently’ grounded with low airframe time remaining.
They have been joined by a Canberra and a soon to the flying Victor.

V/STOL Kittie !

Morning. :)

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. I think he’s a little startled.

[Scoutmaster]

Was she able to turn the double play?

[Tax-chick]

Different game:

That is a cool pic!

You could always find the nearest drag strip and enter it in the Door-Slammer bracket. Or Grocery-Getter. Or whatever they call it in your neck of the woods. All you would need is a helmet.

I’m curious, now, how fast that little beauty WILL go!

[Monkey Face]

Is that the same kitteh? Suspended animation. Squee!

I think it’s great that you have a hobby.

I have a car with an engine, transmission, and tires. That’s about all I know about that part of the car.

Oh, and it’s not worth spending any kind of money to park a car on the streets of Manhattan, although I have seen a Maserati up against the curb, which strikes me as phenominally stupid. Then again, there are a lot of Democrats here.

[ArGee]

By the way, if you’ve seen THe Avengers you’ve seen Guardians of the Galaxy, just with different faces on the characters.

[ArGee]

OK, I’ve voted. I ain’t saying for whom, but Madonna can just keep her distance.

[Monkey Face]

I would see more movies if I had someone to go with, or, alternatively, if I had a DVD player that worked. :o[

[ArGee]

DVD players should be down to about $10 now, unless you want a SMART one.

[Monkey Face]

If I have some extra money, I will head for the local pawn shop and see what they have. I just want one that WORKS!

[Tax-chick]

Yes, same cat.

I went to Weight Watchers for the first time in a month. Gah. Glad to see my friends, though! Next I’m going to buy Tom some gas, and then we’ll vote, and then I’ll go on an hour walk with James and anyone else who comes along.
