thanks Deb......

a good friend flies the air fire tankers here.......he was a "tomcat" pilot in the Navy.......those guys are amazing what they do with those planes, to save people and property......in that order, of course........

he's hit trees with his plane and knocked pieces off and scratched it.......now, that's close.......

those nutty fighter pilots........

gotta love 'em..........

Thank goodness there are nutty fighter pilots though. People willing to do the job. I always thought the navy ones were the nuttiest. Trying to land on a carrier in rough sea is the definition of insanity.

yeah, he flew, IIRC, F-8's from a carrier in Vietnam...........other pretty wacky stuff.........too........

I once saw one of those water tanker aircraft skim over a small lake to take water on. He just barely made altitude over the trees at the other end of the lake. It was breathtaking!

those are very cool..........my friend flies the tankers, that are loaded with suppressant at an airfield....bright pink.........he giggles sometimes at what he gets to do, if he has any left on board....he can't land with a full tank......so.............

you heard about the stupid hippy terrorist who when attempting to blow up a car burned his lips on the tailpipe....

that one kills me every time.

Wasn't he the same one holding himself hostage?

Hi guys!

Playa prep continues at this end....but now a nice glass of wine before I head to bed.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 7:59 pm

That looks divine, Sputnik.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:03 pm

It's not too bad. In fact, I think I'll have another.

you know, IIRC, there is this very un-PC scene in blazing saddles.............

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:11 pm

Was there anything PC about that movie Ygmir? Loved it!

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:16 pm

hahaa, nope Sputnik, there wasn't..........hahahaa
I refer to when the new sheriff takes himself hostage during his introduction............

hahahhaaa

Oh...I know exactly what you mean.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:36 pm

Yes, another glass would be nice.

Blazing saddles is one of those movies to watch more than once for the nuances.

Roberto Dobbisano · Post by **Roberto Dobbisano** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:37 pm

i like the old ances too.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:38 pm

yes, to be sure a cult classic...........

I've never been able to knock a horse out, though............

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:39 pm

Nuances? What nuances? There are a lot og things one could call that movie; "subtle" is not among them.

What's in the shaker tonight?

RG:
hi, nice to meet you...........

so, you don't get the subtle messages of love and hope, and eating pork, that come from Blazing Saddles?.........

(did I just start a poem?)

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:50 pm

Must have missed the subtle ones. Were they hiding behind the ones which were being used to beat me about the head and shoulders?

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 10:17 pm

yes, of course.......

held in the palm as you're backhanded..............

and, for you:

no coke!!......... Pepsi!!

Boy howdy, is it smokey again here this morning......the closest is still only 20% contained, burning in steep, brushy country....now, there are new ones.........dang.....

well, like last year, I guess I'll be going from smoke to dust..........

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 7:28 am
