Mechanic ‘Accidentally’ Fires Vulcan Cannon & Obliterates F-16 Sitting on the Runway

Whoopsies

Oh dear. How embarrassing!

The F-16 is one of my favorites. Seen it fly a couple of times at airshows and its agility is remarkable. That single big engine packs a real punch too. It's amazing as well that a plane that, while upgraded multiple times since, is still essentially based on 1970s tech can still match it in combat with just about anything else going around.

I miss scallops.

Scallops are amazing. Can't go wrong with most seafood really. In my little coastal part of the world blue mussels are our speciality - they're grown in underwater farms in our local bay. Can usually just pop down to the pier where they bring them in and buy them cheap by the pound. Steam them with some white wine, herbs, butter and shallots and they're delicious.

I've actually been surprised by the fish and chips in AZ. It's pretty good. Havent tried any other seafood. Having grown up near Boston, I'm just too afraid.

Hope you are doing ok my friend.

I'm fortunate in that I am still working and likely will continue to be throughout. Hell I'm not only working, I got a promotion two weeks ago with a raise and got another raise, retroactive to last week, today! Woot woot. I guess I'm pretty good at what I do

The weekends are spent here at home, I don't feel I can complain only being home bound 48 hrs. I made oatmeal craisin cookies and a bundt carrot cake this weekend.

I can certainly understand that! Can personally vouch that the seafood anywhere along the New England coast is fantastic.

I'm well thank-you. Staying healthy and my wife and I are both fortunate to have employment that isn't at risk from the pandemic. So just being sensible and carrying on as best we can. How are you and Mr Kovi going?

Cool so my transfer went in. It’s a $1.50 decrease. But I’ll go back to normal hours of having a life. Part of me doesn’t wanna give up time and a half Sundays tho.

this was weird but today at work i seriously thought today was friday and it was october.

i think its because of a combination of zero sports. no more thursday nite mens hockey for me. and because it didnt feel like we had a winter this year.

Last week, I made a cocktail with pumpkin baileys and I posted it on snapchat saying "a perfect fall cocktail in March." It kinda feels like limbo. No idea what season it is or it should be.

Grassfields in Andover were the BEST scallops I ever had, EVER, and I would walk through fire for them.

And while I am walking through fire, I will take a detour to Su Changs......because dumplings in AZ suck.

Is Hardcover still open? I was hot and cold with that place.

Hope you and the kid are doing well. Hey Julia!

Watched only the first episode of S3 so far. One of the best series out right now, IMO.

very well written, up to episode 4 now, getting real nasty

The Cave is located in a tiny mid-Michigan township... summertime population 700, winter nearly deserted. RedWing territory for sure...Today, at the main convenience/liquor store...a vehicle was parked there with a BRUINS tire cover.... hallelujah!!!!

I'm sure a lot of you have seen it in person plenty of times, but this sounds interesting...

THANK YOU BRUINAURA !!!

I am having my employees watch the virtual tour as I have told them many stories of going to see Old Ironsides when I lived in Methuen.
We are going to do an early lunch while viewing the show. It comes on at 11 here in Idaho.

Wow, executives at my organization are all taking cuts or in some cases not taking a salary, in efforts to cut the need for more furloughs.

I am floored, and so so f***ing grateful

I have a massive cribbage winning streak going.

My wife; my brother in law (who is staying with us till he finds a new place to live); and my mom (who isn’t terribly mobile, and I’ve been helping out since her hip surgery in January) have all been losing to me - and losing big. I’ve been playing about a dozen games a week and haven’t lost since the beginning of March.

So, I have a question for any cribbage players here: have any of you ever seen or had a 29-point hand?

I’ve come close with 28. Three fives and the queen of spades in my hand, and the five of spades as the turn-card. SO CLOSE!!!

I will definitely be back to work early in order to watch this!!!! I've always wanted to go there.

Got a bottle of Four Roses bourbon at the store this morning. I’m not a whiskey drinker so I hope this is a good one for noobs getting into whiskey.
