We're back from Wright-Patterson. Boy, do I have pictures for you.

Cool! I've found the Bipe plans. It's a single 36" sheet, so I've been waiting for a lull in the action to put the 36" paper in the plotter. We typically use 24" and 30" spools.

Ready to go to the Chamber meeting?

Is the chamber empty or loaded? Do you have the hammer down?

"1926 Feliks E Dzerzjinski Lithuanian organizer (KGB), dies at 48" Now THERE was a real sweetheart. Organized the Cheka, the "All-Russian Extraordinary Commission to Combat Counter-Revolution and Sabotage". No scruples, no mercy, no restraint.

Looks like Cyrillic is not supported.

Agree on the Osprey. The Generals did not understand the technology.

A modern well developed STOL would get the job done nicely, just wouldn't hover, but would carry twice as much twice as far for a third the price and put down and take off in less than a hundred yards of cornfield.

No pictures of rappelling troops, darn, worth a few billion, those photos, eh? Who cares that the machine goes down like a rock with any system problem worse than a dead cigarette lighter.

1941 Afrika Korps under General Erwin Rommel began its first offensive against British forces in Libya.

"We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general."
- Churchill about Rommel

Do you have the hammer down?

LOL. No, my hand gun is a Glock.

Otherwise, the Chamber meetings are pretty fun, although awfully early in the morning. The meetings are every Wednesday at 7:45 a.m., coffee and light food fare is provided by whatever business is hosting the weekly meeting. About 80-90 small business owners are there along with the occassional police officer, fireman, county recylcling reps, etc.

It's very informal and people bring stuff for drawings and of course we meet new members and find out what's going on in town, charitable events and other happenings.

We are going to host the Chamber in June. No way can we fit that many folks in here but we are hoping for good weather so we can hang around outside and in.

Lower 80's? I'm envious. Still light rain here, cloudy and in the 50's.
