Yep, that thread is dead.

Yeah, you go through a very thorough physical before they allow you to take a ride on a fighter jet. If you're not in good condition, it could lead to serious injury or even death. There's at least one case of a member of the Navy dying on one of those rides... had a brain hemorrage, I believe.

That's hilarious. My next door neighbors came down from Erie, PA... in the middle of winter, when it's in the 40's here, they'll be out working in the yard in shorts and T-shirts... I love it.

yah, i'll never pass that physical... too much hagdaz in
my blood. so that's quite an achievement just
passing that physical.



changing gears, i found out today from Roland (manufacturer) that
my keyboard does NOT use a memory backup battery... it's a flash
RAM each time it shuts down...so me taking it apart was just a
waste of time. but my LCD backlight's starting to
turn on pretty quickly now than before, so that's good news.

Yeah... well... that was in 1992 and I was only 31 at the time. I surely would not pass that physical today either. Too many trips to the Cheesecake Factory and Chili's.

I had a 30 inch waist back then. Now... more like 34 and those extra four inches are all blubber.

Ken, there is NOTHING regular about you. In fact, you are quite irregular.

I put on a pair of jeans to go out for dinner that feel kind of tight. Think I'll go put on some sweatpants and let the pasta expand

I was just talking about that. High temp tomorrow is supposed to be around 35 degrees. Sunday is just as cold with snow showers predicted. And two of the MINIs are filthy from the rain yesterday. Blech !!
