Back from the dead! You guys must be pretty desperate LOL. Seriously, it is very kind of your guys to ask, and for Norm (coloradohill) to gave me call. It took a while for me to get it see below. Been off-air for a few reasons: Yes, having a life is part of it. You know, some of the old...

Thank you. I watched the instruments most of the way through; seemed to show the actual flight parameters. Been in one emergency situation flying .... this presentation brought back the same tensions, and the same relief to get on the ground and reflect and be thankful.

FWIW..... IIRC, NASCAR went to tube frame construction with attached panels in 1973. Before that, they were true stock-body based cars. NASCAR's early competition for fans was with USAC and open wheel race cars. They were competing for race fans, not for general sports fans. Car racing never...

I'd agree that is probably an impact damage matter. Never had one with that damage fail catastrophically across the tread and down the sidewalls like yours, but gradually failing. Were there and vibrations on the road for the last few days or weeks? Sure would like to know the brand..... BTW, a...

That's the best snappy comeback of the year LOL My wife and I are still laughing....

Here we go.. another COVID-19 thread LOL

I have seen one of those floored in 2nd-3rd-4th gear departing from a rural traffic light.... danged impressive.

LOL.. that is how the 2nd owner of my '62 Dart came by the car. (I am the 3rd owner.) It stayed in the garage for 15+ years after the original owning couple passed away, and the 2nd owner bought the house from the daughter with the contingency that could he 'get rid of the old car in the...

Wow.. just saw that yesterday. Hertz filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy about a week back. Chapter 11 is for re-organization protection. I have done a ton of biz travel for 35+ years, and Hertz was always there. So much for being a Gold Club member LOL Looking back into rates for car rentals in...

Now we in the US are learning why the rest of Asia have pretty much hated/feared the Chinese for the last few thousand years. They culturally have no compunction about moving into an area and dominating the commercial and trading system, for their own benefit. They have done this forever.... and...

Glad you are OK! Yeah, the rain in that area has been crazy. My son's house in Salem is on top of a small hill, but the worst rain was pushing water into the basement on 3 sides! The ground is just soaked. One good thing came out of this: your new Stihl! My 026 is still going strong after 31...

Interesting..... The US postal service lost around $8.8 BILLION USD, or $12.3 BILLION CaD in 2019, or around. That is part of why the USPS is cheap here.... it is subsidized. Oh, But not by a ton..... their 2019 revenues were $71 billion. So a 15% rate increase would fix the problem here...

You gotta move far north, where the ground regularly freezes to some depth each year, to get away from those pests.

Ya wanna reeeeealy learn how to drive? Learn how to drive a rally car..... like Ken Block started.

What is the height and length of the joists, the spacing between joists, and the approximate age of the house? Some older house up to the 60's had shorter joists than have become standard, and can use more beefing up. Those undersized (by today's standards) joists will tend to have the wood...

Wow.... that was sudden. Knocking on wood with you.

That an interesting call.... going to a large tourist destination city looks like going to a worse situation. More crowded it would seem? Of course, there is a lot of traffic in and out of your area too. I read a study last night from around 13 year back, from the Federal Reserve in St Louis...

FWIW.... I've been tracking the numbers closely since the 1st week of Feb. The mortality rate does indeed have meaning and is a worthwhile indicator relative to other pandemics. I'd suggest that looking at the US mortality rate alone will give you a lot more meaning than looking at the worldwide...

I can imagine! Hope you are a younger lad.

Not trying to be critical but trying to explain: the % per day DOES mean more than the raw totals. It is the indicator of whether measures to combat this are working... or shows how lack of measures (like in the NYC area too late) promotes spread. gdrill.... in the graph you linked above, hit...

Supposedly the lack of medical facilities, like ICU beds and ventilators. I was reading 3 to 4 weeks ago about most of those in Italy who were in critical condition having to be set aside to perish due to the lack of these things. That is why we are trying to slow it down with stay-at-home...

Good deal. BTW, grade 5 is all that was ever required for SCCA racing seat hardware. Grade 5 has shear strength 80% of a grade 8, and the real issue is the tearout of the floor. Sounds like you have that covered, OP. Once you get some tubing under there, the bolt will be in double-shear, the...

I'd not hesitate in these times to take UC. This type of situation is what it is for. BTW, just to correct one thing... employees pay $0 into the UC funds. It's all paid by employers.

FWIW.... The following is all based on running the actual numbers from standard epidemilogical methods, not news reports or anecdotal comments. This is the site I use: United States Coronavirus: 176,518 Cases and 3,431 Deaths - Worldometer If the death rate continues at the present rate of the...

Unfortunately, this is symptomatic of all sorts of flu's. So no way to really know. In mid-Feb, I was checking the numbers of confirmed cases, and on Feb 16, there were 14 confirmed cases in the US and none confirmed in Ohio. The Washington state outbreak was growing at that time, but it had...

The kit allocations are going to have to be based on where the worst outbreaks are, until more kits are available. Here in VA, you get tested if your doctor says you ought to be. That won't show the whole spread by any means, but it is the strategy that has to be used with limited testing...

These masks are not to designed to keep you from getting it... through they may help. They are to help limit you from spreading it. My wife is involved in a sewing group, and they are going to try to make some of these.

The above video stops at March 19; today is March 24. In those 5 days, the total deaths in the world has continued to climb by 13-14 % each day, and has continued at that steady exponential rate. 2009 swine flu killed just under 12,000 in the USA in about 9 months. Corona has killed right at...

May I ask your ages, MT? At least approximately? Glad to hear this is mild for you. What prompted the tests?

For those who want to be informed and want to understand the 'why' of the measures that are being taken, and can be taken, to best control the corona virus, here is an excellent article that brings it all together. This is offered to help understanding; it is a bit of a long read but VERY well...
