Domino D Posted December 19, 2020 #4201 Share Posted December 19, 2020 So let me tell you about pandemic life in Georgia. In 2 days we have received 42 (no exaggeration) phone calls from voter action and political pacts. I apologize to anyone who is truly vested in the outcome of the elections, but I am so sick of this and couldn't care less who wins anymore. Best part, I voted by mail 2 days ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they were loading the plane the fork lift driver hit the antenna and scrapped plane which is carbon fiber. $$$$$ Maybe they need to have recurrent training every year like the pilots do. 😁 Okay, that is a new one. I often think (like anyone who flies a lot), I have seen it all. But then, fork lift driver tears off a part of the plane. Reminds me of when we had 60 minute delay on Delta because a bee got on the plane. They were afraid someone would get stung, so we waited until they could hunt it down and swat it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATG Posted December 19, 2020 #4203 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Many, many years ago (about 1970), I was lucky enough to have saved the money needed to take a school trip to Europe. We spent 3 weeks there, ending up in London. When we left to fly home we were on a 747. They were new and not yet common. The caterer had forgotten something and opened a door to sneak it in. Unfortunately, the door was an escape with the big orange slide which inflated. We waited 4 hours for a replacement slide. Stuck in narrow economy seats. Of course at 16 it was an adventure. So, I agree, anything can happen to a plane. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened a few times when I worked at Heathrow, usually the catering or baggage trucks. As we were an outstation it would usually end up rebooking everyone on other flights 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a few hits and misses for Musk for awhile on the landing on the barge at sea at first...but damn...after he got is act together...wow. They make it look easy. Tiny little barge bouncing around in the middle of the ocean...and they pin point land that booster...upright in the bullseye. Amazing!! This was an early morning launch we watched staying at the beach one day, the rocket pushing an Aura in the dawning light, and the red dot was the booster coming down to land on the barge. Was sooo cool! This was landing number 70 overall and the 5th for this booster. Crazy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be your signature cookie. I'm sure there is a place you can order a custom cookie cutter shaped like Bella. Then you could sell them to all of us. I will take a dozen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I pulled it up, I was thinking about how my mother measured everything with her hands. When she gave me the recipe, we made a batch and I had to convert everything to a measure. I don't know if she owned a measuring cup or spoon. She is in a nursing home now, and it was a nice little memory. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had lemon ricotta pancakes and properly made they are to die for. Since K is wheat allergic, I have to make them with King Arthur’s Gluten Free flour.. Not quite as good, but still pretty tasty. jc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I agree, anything can happen to a plane. I think he said it was baggage they were loading. The 787's have only been in Miami I think for about 6 weeks (at least for AA) so the driver obviously misjudged the distance. 😁 6 hours ago, John&LaLa said: Dreamliner? Yes, I think it's only his 5th or 6th time to fly one. He was on the 767's. He normally flies the South American routes so I thought it was odd he flew to Haiti, but there is very little flying compared to pre-covid. 🛩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
