  1. How about we replace that with "Those who don't have a lick of common sense, are doomed to get voted outta office"?

  5. Yes, this is the 1st time I've seen him in this role All the other actors are reposing their roles from 'Saturday Night Live' Chevy Chase started this in the mid-seventies with his Gerald Ford I was surprized to see them all together Unc, there are no political commentaries here The skit focuses more on their mannerisms and twists their more famous quotes Political positions taken are usually nonsense ...Carter and Reagan agreeing with each other All in good fun!
  6. "Their Finest Hour"

    Lovely Video We all owe a great debt to "The Few"
  7. There are many more examples; The Union Forces were offered Repeating Rifles with Cartridge Ammunition (Henry Rifles I think) The Northern Quartermaster turned them down because he thought they'd fire too fast and waste ammo One Northern unit managed to get equipped and take them into combat The Southern General complained about "that @&%$! Yankee rifle you could load on Sunday and fire all week" And more modern; The F8 Crusader, a true fighter, was cancelled And the F-111 Aardvark, a multi-role waste, ordered into production And just recently, the F-22 Raptor, unmatched stealth fighter, was cancelled Oh and about Custer, he declined to take his Gatling Guns cuz he thought they'd slow him down What Civil War Battle was that with the Bird Shot in Smooth Bore Muskets?

  13. TrackIr 5 software

    I get this same warning with my Kasperski (TIR4 S/W though) Despite the warning, the TIP S/W starts on startup OK Maybe I have a lower security setting ...think I went with the default settings

    "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" I say Good luck with it!

  16. My brother and I went to the Boston Wine Expo today We had a great time, tasting about 80 wines He's the real expert and the exhibitors quickly realize it It's a great learning experience Usually 1 wine stands above the rest Not this time, but we had outstanding wines from Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, and the Loire Valley Chateau Neuf du Pape and Boisson were par excellance Not too many US producers, but maybe it's the economy We're closing the evening with some Sauvignon Blanc & Cabernet Sauvignon ...Hic
  17. OT - Swirling the Glass

    Can't say that I've heard of that region But I Googled it and found a winery list Cedar Creek and Tantalus sound familiar so maybe I have sampled a glass or 3
  18. Hi Javito, welcome to OFF! Help out with a little more info -What plane were you flying? - Manual or Auto Mixture Control? - Were you trying to match or exceed their climb angle?
  19. OT - Swirling the Glass

    Old is the way to go We had some Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel that was great Average age of the vines were 80 years Old vines produce less fruit, concentrating the flavor
  20. OT - Swirling the Glass

    Ja, Berenauslese and Trockenberenauslese And lots of pretty frauleins to pour
  21. OT - Swirling the Glass

    Truly great region of the world I'm partial to Sonoma Cabs Has anyone checked out Costco's wine shop? They have Jordan Cab for $42 ...and Cloudy Bay Sauv Blanc for $19 Killer Wines at great prices Even their Kirkland Sparklings are pretty good! Would have checked out more but we had to zip
  22. My guess is thatb the DVI was probably better than the Triplane But the Triplane had the political push to build it Politicians control the money, so they get what they want
