Stan, you haven't by chance been to the mall to see Santa have you?

I had a Sue, not a tramp but I don't miss her.

Just salt here, sometimes enough to make waves of it in intersections and on on curves. Don't want to try stopping fast on it. Got me my only traffic stop in MN, tires spun taking off and chirped when they hit dry pavement before I could get off the throttle. Cop let it go because he could see the salt, too, and I wasn't in a hurry. Not supposed to chirp your tires here.

Too much of that in tv show music lately, too.

Had my appetite back this morning, feeling almost normal. Whatever it was, it was quick and I'm not complaining about that.

Russ - while back you mentioned buying that plane if they decided to get rid of it. Be a pita to fix it down there, wouldn't it? Don't know if it could manage a single engine takeoff, but suspect the FAA would frown on bringing it into the US that way. That reminds me, ever hear of the term "broomstick" for a jet engine? Crazy as that might sound, airlines have done it. Probably would be frowned on today.

Picked up some stocking stuffers and I chuckled to myself thing about the stuff that used to be in our stockings growing up, fruit, Brazil nuts (extra points if you know the alias), other nuts I have never seen in my life and never ate, pencils and other ****. Really random stuff.

Uh, Sweetie, have you seen anything that looks like this but a bit larger?

BTMF in full meltdown.
Jeez...how did I miss this before? I did that once, too. I now double check .

It is foreign registered now so there would be teams of paperwork to do. I could ship in an engine and change it out in a couple of days.
