Sounds like HQ on Thursday is the pre-party of the year...it was so last year, at any rate. Maybe I'll join you.

How many Paizes can we count on? Just you and Anya?

Fantastic idea to join us. And yes, just the two of us.

I'm all caught up, and have probably posted way too much tonight anyway, so I'm finally going to bed. See you all tomorrow sometime.

Sorry, no image tonight for this page. I'll try to get better at this soon, but I've been reading/posting from my Tab because I'm reinstalling my desktop computer due to an oops.

Steven, That's about how it is with 844. She always travels with the 6936 ostensibly because 844 is not equipped with HEP and the 6936 is. However, there is always the chance that something will happen. Murphy LOVES to ride the rails of the Heritage Fleets.

HEP?

Sorry... HEP is Head End Power. It's a diesel motor driving a generator or alternator to provide electrical power to the cars. It is only used in Passenger Service and is therefore not needed on freights. The 844, and Uncle Pete's other Heritage Loco is 3985 which is also a steamer. Both steamers can provide steam to the cars, but the cars have been converted from steam to electric, hence the need for Head End Power... HEP.

JW & Steve: As a result of your last few image posts, I've suffered an severe overexposure to high quality pixels. Let a guy come up for air once in a while. Tremendous images. You make it really hard on a Canon guy with all this wonderful Nikon IQ

A few humble pixels from this afternoon.

p.3135 #6 · Mustang Air to Air: The Sequel

Hey everyone, I kind of disappeared off the face of the Earth since a little before ISAP. No clue how many pages I am behind or if I will ever officially catch up to the current page.

Lots of stuff has been in turmoil since then and lots of things have changed. Long story short, I resigned from my job at Raytheon. Various reasons I can explain later. Finished my last day yesterday, (Thursday), and have a few leads on jobs elsewhere. The current plan is after OSH I will be packing up camp in OKC and moving back to the east coast and living at home until another job comes along. Depending on what current lead results are, might be moving to my next job right after OSH, but totally unsure of that at this point.

Another thing is Alliance, I bought the VIP tickets for Saturday and Sunday and was planning on driving down from OKC the Thursday before, but not sure I will be making that anymore. So Alliance is tentatively on hold at this point. If I decide not to go, would anyone like my slot in the AM photo tours and airshow photo pits?

The one thing that has not changed is my attendance to AirVenture. I will be in Hartford, WI for the pre show Cub Gathering then leaving for Camp Scholler Sunday afternoon after the mass Cub departure. I will be on grounds Sunday - Sunday and possibly into Monday before packing up camp. I am sure this has been brought up before, but who all is going? Is there any plans to get dinner or something? I will have my car to provide transportation if needed.

Sweet Jesus, how do I fall behind by 20 pages in such a short time span?

Good news (for me, anyway). The Paiz tickets to Alliance are bought. Anya and I are flying in on Wednesday night so we can spend Thursday making our pilgrimage to HQ in KTKI. Hopefully we'll get the chance to spend a little time with Shooter and Bryan Martin! Staying through Sunday night, but skedaddling from the airshow straight to the airport.

Sounds good Rodolfo. I'm feeling a Thursday arrival coming this year as well!

Good Idea will be on the ground Tuesday evening hoping for some nice Texas weather as the Summer here is totally crap it's raining and only 15C and that in July

All it would take is one test drive and you'd be sold, too, Al. Driving an 'all torque, all the time' electric makes the internal combustion engine seem quaint and ponderous, not to mention dirty, smelly and noisy. Of course, some call those things virtues.

Congratulations, Steve! I thought we'd hear from Rodolfo by now, since he loves his Tesla too.

As far as those other virtues, I recently drove my brother's car for a few days when he was out of town:

(I wish I had gotten around to taking my own photos.....)

Not dirty or smelly, but wonderfully noisy. Pretty agile too (444HP helps there). Although I had a ball, with the track mapping enabled in the ECU, I was getting about 11 mpg.

Vrroooomm Vrroommm.....Now thats my kind a car....jus love a car with some muscle...but its gotta be low n have "that look"

Funnily enough ATM I drive a Mitsubishi 4WD, its turbo diesel but its got a bit of get up n go...regularly gets down to 9litres per 100kl, thats 22.6miles per US Gallon...not bad for a 2.5 ton SUV @ 66mph....
it really shines when I tow the Boat loaded up into the mountains..
There is one draw back though,....the stink of deisel when you fuel up, I keep a gardening glove in a zip lock bag stashed under the seat..
With the new Electric powered cars I cant help but wonder what it will be like in a few years,....when it needs a new battery...
Recently had someone espowsing the virtues of a Toyota Prius....claiming all sorts of wonderful mileage, ...however they were counting electric driving as well as the tank range.....DERRR...
When I pointed this out they were adament, & how wonderful it was for the environment...
Hower when asked if they were buying charging power from an Electricity supply company that had a Coal fired power station they were less vocal

heres the beast...

Hi steve
The Prius is not a plug in, but a hybrid
Petrol usage includes battery charging
How long do the batteries last? No idea but they do come with an eight year warranty

way to go

Great mig shots.

abbottsford has made some statements to "stay tuned" to their lineup for some interesting developments in the next week, I'm hoping for something russian personally. I'd also be ok with something french.

J-A, that Vulcan shot from the rear is one of the best Vulcan shots I have seen, great job!

Andrew, I have not yet bought my Alliance tickets, so I would take them if they become on offer. Although I might not stay for Sunday... Well maybe the dawn patrol...!
