  1. JerrySTL's post in Mid-March status updates was marked as the answer   
    Until recently things have been quiet since the brother-in-law that we looked after died as so did the father-in-law.
    A sister-in-law who always tried to keep her weight around 100 pounds has an issue where she can't swallow and is losing more weight even with a feeding tube inserted. 
    A brother-in-law, who could make LAJ look good in some respects, is in the hospital with heart failure and other problems. He's been a diabetic for years and has taken perverse pleasure in not doing what the doctor says.
    My brother who is married to WoJSTL's sister is moving to Omaha to help their daughter. She's an MD and very intelligent, but not very smart when it comes to men. This will be her second divorce and she has three children under the age of 5. Their son is back on drugs and another reason that they are moving is to get away from him.

    Yes. I just rode near a few of them a couple of hours ago. They do have a certain "smell".

    Try spraying that into the trunk lock. Then spray some good lubricant into the lock. Also spray it on any visible lock mechanisms.

    The smartest work bathroom that I ever used had a large exhaust fan that pulled fumes directly outside. The door to the bathroom had a grill so that air would be pulled in from the hallway. It was set up that way to introduce fresh air into the building from the HVAC system.
  8. JerrySTL's post in Who amongst us was marked as the answer   
    As a teenager, I worked at a drive-in theater. There was a lot more than groping going on and plenty more beer, wine, and smokes. It was my most fun job.

    I'm betting that the attendants will be looking at their smart phones quite a bit when things get boring. Of course the handheld controller will have to go into a pocket or somewhere while the smart phone is in use.

    I've ridden and walked across it many times. Part of the movie Escape From New York was filmed on it.
    If you ever visit it, park on the Illinois side. Your car is less likely to be vandalized.  Less.

    The title song came up on my MP3 player today. If I remember correctly, this was the last Doors album with Jim Morrison.

    Those F-35s can really move. Seeing that Osprey fly by was fun. Notice the sheep on the other side of the valley? They didn't seem to like it.
    Back in the 1970s I got to see F-111D aircraft flying basically below me as I was on top of a plateau. They were going supersonic about 400 feet off the ground. You could see them kicking up dust and dirt from the shock wave. The sonic boom was LOUD as I was less than a mile from the aircraft when they passed.

    I followed its flight to Greater Cincinnati Airport (CVG) on https://www.flightradar24.com/. Shortly after takeoff, it flew a pattern that spelled out 747. Very cool.
    CVG is very close to where I grew up and one of the reasons I became an aircraft mechanic. That 747 is being delivered to Atlas Air which has a major hub there. Also, Amazon has dozens of aircraft there and is in the middle of a major expansion.
    If I were looking for a job and wanted to move back to the Cincinnati area, I bet that I could walk into the Atlas Air building there and get a job the same day. I worked on two programs for the US Air Force where the military contracted out civilian aircraft to move people and equipment. Atlas Air was one of the major players. I bet that I could tell them that I worked on both COINS and ACAS, and they would hire me as fast as HR could get the paperwork done. Maybe even with a bonus.
