Glad you'll be OK.
How much for the wheels?
TIL some collector just liquidated a collection of about 100 Honda 3 wheelers, and one unit is still in the box! Instantly got a $200,000 offer.
TIL: Apparently the bracket that holds down the controller or whatever for the spider injectors on a Chevy 350 is supposed to be loose. I guess the upper plenum holds it in place so it doesn't rattle itself to death?
TIL that the Norden bombsight comprised 10% of the cost of a new B-17.
According to the source, the Norden cost about $25,000 and the entire aircraft cost a little under $240,000.
So tell us. KX-500? YZ-490? Maico GP500?
The doctor asked me if I was allergic to formaldehyde.
That's... an odd thing to have to worry about.

Wasn't it also basically an analog computer that could be clutched in to the flight controls, so the bombardier was actually the one flying the plane for a short while?
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
Yes, on the actual bombing run, the pilot was hands off and the bombardier was making trim adjustments to match the aiming point.
My father had a Norden that he had scavenged while in the AF during the '50s, well after they were obsolete. It was in a box in the basement and one day in the 1970s my mother threw it out for reasons unknown. That was a pretty bitter argument.

I know that your news sources may appear to be great but maybe some sources more main stream American might give you a better balance. That's all I got to say about that.

How about Stacey David, guy with a car show? He did a Jeep over and it had a newer type grille as on the 2nd vehicle. He pulled all the chrome off and the sheet metal is still stamped from the old die so already set for the older type, 1st vehicle, to bolt on.

TIL about ice. No, not those guys, frozen water. Every once in a while, the trees in my yard attack the plumbing going to the street. I call a RotoRooter type service and they hone it out for $300. After 3 times in 2 years, one which cost me a freezer and everything in it, I bought a drain opening device like the pro uses. A tad smaller, but using it twice it has paid for itself and I don't have to wait on someone else.
Anyway, it's been cold, real cold, I got a bit of a back up but not enough to flood the basement but you could see it wasn't moving. Whipped out the auger device , set it up and started feeding some of the 100ft. of coil into the hole. It started to move but didn't fully clear. Rats.
I pulled it all back out and started again, this time letting the machine just go. You know a 1/4-20 thread, 20 revolutions the nut will move one inch? Just let 'er eat. I stood there with my foot on the go pedal, turned up the music and popped a beer. 80 feet in I hear this incredible BOOM!! It sounded like someone tossed a framing hammer into a dumpster!
Water ran like the Mississippi. =~ )
Who knew ice would build up at the end of the run where my 6" meets the town's 3 footer?
In reply to 914Driver :
Sounds like a big ice turd.

"Water" ran like the Mississippi.
My understanding is they have cleaned up the Mississippi a fair amount. Or at least aren't polluting it as much.
And to stay on theme:
In 2010, the Great Mississippi River Cleanup (GMRC) was initiated by Living Lands & Waters (LL&W) to inspire communities to host an annual cleanup event. After four very successful years cleaning up primarily the Upper Mississippi River, we expanded our cleanup efforts to the full length of the river! From the Headwaters in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana, volunteers participate by cleaning up the Mighty Mississippi and taking action that produces results, not rhetoric! To date, we’ve helped coordinate 140 cleanups and, with the help of more than 11,072 volunteers, removed 654,493 pounds of debris from the Mississippi River!
TIL that there is a light saber fighting academy in Canton.
