HOLY SHIT -

I leave to keep the oil flowing into all of the SUVS, and the fire shows, and the space heaters that burn the black goo and I come back to find 5 more pages of trespassers on my thread?

completely unacceptable. I can smell the patchouli building up.

I'm planting a patchouli plant here. Ha!

*looks for Nag Champa incense*

Let's make this place all smelly, shall we!! Oh wait, mdmf007 already accomplished that with his returning presence now, hasn't he?

This'll cover up the smell.

Better not light any of that right away, 007 might still be flammable from all that oil he's absorbed.

I don't think oil from the wrestling shows he was putting on is flammable............

Mud wrestling just seems like it would be so much more fun.

Does Vladivostok Count?

I just flew in an a local Russian charter, it actually had bailing wire holding parts to the bulkhead. and I watched the mechanic beat on something with a stick under the cowling before he closed it up.

Waiting for KLM now - only 4 more hours to departure!!!

That's pretty scary! I have been in small planes before and recall one small commercial plane that had the toilet in some tiny mechanical compartment. There were all sorts of hoses and hydraulics next to me while I was peeing. There was another smaller plane that had pieces of green garden hose on the pedals so the pilots feet did not slip off.

Have a safe trip back and let us know when you arrive so I can step up my posting here!

why, yes, yes it does................

I sat next to a couple, returning from adopting a russian baby in russia, on a flight back here from Helsinki.......they had a horror story about the plane and everything associated with the flight.........long story, but, one part was that the plane ran out of jet fuel while idling on the tarmac....and hour later, a truck came with hundreds of 5 gal cans and they started pouring the fuel into, and all over, the wing tanks...turned out they had to go to town and get fuel, there was none at the airport..........

yikes..........

You think that's bad...on my last trip back from Mexico, there was a panel missing on the plane so they fixed it by covering it with duct tape-- and then asked the passengers to "keep an eye on it" out the windows!

20 minutes into the flight the people in that area of the plane started urgently ringing their service bells...the duct tape had been sucked into the engine! We had to turn around and fly back to Mexico. Took us 2 days to get out of there.

Several Burners were on the flight...we informed them that they needed to wrap the duct tape all the way around the plane, not just make a patch...they informed us that the way they did it was according to instructions in their repair manual. We did NOT invite them to come to Burning Man.

Flying from Puerto Rico to St. Croix once as we flew thru a thunder storm it started raining inside the plane -- since it was already hot inside I didn't mind TOO much, but I think from all the noise that started it really freaked out the rooster in a cage that was sitting on one of the other passengers' lap.

(oh, shoot -- did I just post here?)

I worked on this project.

The Riverside Badlands Tunnel is a 13 km (8 mile) long segment of the Inland Feeder Project. This 3.65 m (12 ft) finished diameter water tunnel presented many challenges that had to be overcome to take the project from concept to reality, not the least of which were the diverse ground conditions. Construction of the tunnel was carried out by a single tunnel boring machine (TBM) in one tunnel drive. The project is considered a success due to the accurate baseline established for the ground conditions; the approaches used to mitigate adverse conditions; and the appropriate use of TBM excavation methods, which achieved rapid advance rates despite the challenging ground conditions.

the tbm used in Riverside california was a bit larger then the shown in above posts..

this is a similar tbm,

and then they get even bigger
