So how many shots would it take.........

 

Shots to knock it down, shots of medicine to recover, or shots of alcohol ?  And the answer may change if I were stuck on an island for years ? :ph34r:

After three days and 27 inches, I thought it was over. Three more inches today. I love winter...even when it occurs during spring.

Thank you, either way I wouldn't want his attention.

After a couple of beers, in person, I will relate a story about me (a Chief at the time), an Air Force E-6 and his Air Force O-3 regarding azz chewing

Well how do you do! Now I have to fly down to a place I don't want to go early in the morning to hand deliver a part. Just fing lovely. Nothing like a Saturday night surprise hope my client gets me a hotel reserved since there is no return flight tomorrow.

 

This should make for an interesting interaction with TSA. Screw it, I will go thru either drunk or hung over. ALCOA presents..you make the call.

Evening gang

 

Took a break and played with antennas today.

Yagi's are great when you double them up, my normal "OvenRack" UHF antenna on the house drags in 52 Channels.

These two Yagi's jacked 32' in the air pointed toward Frisco brought in 72! and three weather channels!

Of course 24 channels are Spanish:o

pastaciotti - Pusties — They are "officially" called pasticciotti, a single-serving Italian custard-filled tart. The usual fillings for the rich tart crust are chocolate, vanilla, lemon, and Italian cheesecake.

I gained 2 lbs just looking at the picture :P

 

I'm going to show my wife this pic, she's very good at copying recipes....can't wait.
