I was hiding from ours at the end of the couch when she was in the middle of fetching a toy....and I startled her run, and she kinda crashed into an end table. I sure felt bad about it, but by the next morning showed no ill effect of the incident.
Sure was concerned at the time though cause she was limping pretty good.
A helicopter ate shit in a Phoenix suburb park today, two souls onboard and one didn't make it. There is a video of it, but it was unpleasant to view so I won't include a link.
Witnesses said the tail rotor "came off".
From what I could find, the tail rotor was at the scene of the crash. The rotation before the crash indicates that the tail rotor wasn't countering the torque of the main rotor, but it appears that it was still attached until the crash. It can happen.Quote:

Yeah, totally sucks. Some forward momentum can sometimes allow more control, but it appears they spun all the way to the ground. Not sure if it was luck that they landed at an empty park, or if some skill was involved. Helicopters are risky, like crossing the street, or taking a shower. That was a tough situation. Either way, glad to hear that someone survived and more people weren't hurt. I hope the survivor makes a complete recovery and prayers go out to the deceased.
Now my snarky side:
I hope the deceased individual doesn't test positive for Covid-19.
Just got pupper back from the vet. He hurt his ankle, nothing obvious in X-rays, but they'll go to a radiologist for a closer look. Got some pain meds and he gets less activity for a bit. Gave him one of his flavored meds and he is OUT. Sleeping hard on the recliner next to the spousal unit.
Hope he heals up quick Gman.
Wonderful day at the range today. Little joys.
got busy early this a.m moving 1.5 t of driveway gravel. Good cardio, or so the emt's thought [LOL]Quote:

Although. Flight 4 life uses the empty field about 1/4 mi from here as a landing zone, when needed.
Ventured up to the lake to look for otters but it is still covered with ice. Pulled off to shoot some dots and to make sure the micro 9 could cycle the Hornady FTX. Flawless fun and pretty accurate @ 30 yards.
Went over to Wild Basin for a walk and found the entire National Park system lands are closed to all access. Can't even walk through the forest alone. Nuts. Criminal level mismanagement, afic.
Crickets & mice
Or maybe just turtles.
Just taught the 12 year-old to drive a manual. She picked it up like a champ.
: )
I bet she’d giggle like crazy if she drove the Pinz
Which She?
Ehem... ;- )
Saw a grasshopper in the lawn today. The doggo thought it was entertaining. He's doing better, but doesn't understand us not running him in the yard. He's currently thrashing his chicken toy in the family room and just shot out the dog door to the backyard. Dogs are funny.
Their hearts are bigger than their physical limitations.
Agreed^ 110%.Quote:

Hopefully get it into the shop this week to power-flush the hydraulics. I locked the rear diff and it won’t unlock, come to find out the reservoir is empty and gummy. Last owner (of almost 20 years) never used the 4WD, barely used it at all. Gonna have all fluids changed, and axle boots replaced.
So I geard these things sorta suck on the I70 passes. You going to do an engine swap or just enjoy it for what it is?Quote:

You heard right. 45mph, right lane on the passes (uphill). But engine swaps really don’t have a good history in these, so I’ll leave it as-is. But it’ll go slow like nobody’s business!Quote:

Usually Friday was Indian Tacos(Santiagos).
Been a long time since last Indian Taco.
Wyome have you been keeping up on NASCAR Classic?
Scanner popped up with 11,000 listeners Monroe county, NY sheriff.
No clue to daily average listeners to that channel so no clue if significant.
Been listening about 5 mins, pretty tame so far.
call in and say you saw a vehicle with a TRUMP 2020 bumper sticker on it. Then sit back and enjoy.Quote:

This is the first day in a week that it didn't snow off and on throughout the day. Spring is here, yea!
Hi folks.
Herro.
