Posers' Coffee House, All Bullshit Accepted, Part VI

Hi Doc. I heard an interesting story from a Coastie chopper pilot about our new choppers. It seems a cross wind blew one slightly sideways and it clipped the top of a telephone pole with the new Kevlar? rotors blades and made pine pancake sections. They sent the rotors out to be analyzed and he said they were virtually undamaged! They are still at Selfridge and a lot of folks don't know that was the home of Eddie Rickenbackers squadron! What a history we have there. I actually got to work there many times during my Ma Bell career.
Hear lots of good stuff about the composites. Always good to have new research and development going on.

Good morning Pozers. 4 foot snowdrifts around the driveway from last week but we are in a warmup. It should get above freezing on Saturday. High of 18 today in the Motor City. Mike I hope you guys have a beautiful ride through the mountains. How far south did you go to get to temps in the 70s, Cuba? Ken Gail looks good surrounded by the cards, a lot of good wishes for her for sure! The durn snow now has a coating of icy crust. It is also past the pretty stage according to SugarLips. It looks about the same off my patio as off your deck behind Gail. Mike says it'll take about 6 hours to get to your place. It'll be great to hit some curvy roads.

Mornin' Zal. My bet is Ultra is going to see da mouse. I lived there for a few years in my miss-spent yout. Beautiful wimmens abound there. We used to skinny dip in the canals in the orange groves. Before we could go in we would pile up rocks to toss at any water moccasins that came to investigate the squealin'! Had my first bike there, a Honda CB 175.

"Song of the South " is the tune that most reminds me of my families time there. Orlando was a lot smaller then. And so was Disney World. I remember I had an older evil college age stepbrother who decided to get me to smoke some pot and drink some JDwhen I was in high school and brought me home way too late. Dad decided to get even by banging the door open at 5AM the next morning and taking us to the "magic" Kingdom and FORCING us to ride every roller coaster at least 6 times. Mark and I were blue and purple from the rides and the drugs and the hang over and I swear it was my first time puking blood in front of the tourists in the Disney waste baskets! He wanted me to stand up to him and I wasn't in his good graces till I kicked his *** proper. HAHAHA. Dad flew in bombers during Korea and had his own Idea of "tough love" and the rides didn't bother him at all. Still remember his evil grin and him yellin' how ya feelin now son! Then he drove us to the factory and he put me to work on the forms building prefab walls slinging wood in the hot sun Orlando sun till long after normal closing times. He had all our help on piece work and they were all overjoyed to work late to help teach the bosses kid a lesson....
