#7: Always make sure you're screwing into wall studs. Wallboard will not support weight. Please don't ask me how I know this, but I was very young at the time.
'Ditching' is the word you're looking for. If it's not an amphibious aircraft and it's not supposed to end up in the water, it's a 'ditching'.
Why different words? Although I don't know for certain, I would say it has something to do with the Emergency Procedures. In the midst of an emergency single words stick in your mind. It's amazing how much you can memorize and then turn into muscle memory. When I was in training, every time we took off from NAS Pensacola (Sherman Field) in that old T-34C, if we lost the engine for any reason and hadn't made it to at least 1200' AGL, we were riding that bitch in. No ejection seats. And since the Field was surrounded by water in various spots the odds were better than even we were going to ditch. That's also why we had to complete the 'Delbert Dunker' prior to beginning flight ops. Best water park ride I've ever been on including the Helo dunker.
I had one similar to #1, but not quite as bad. Bought a small frying pan and spatula combo and one time when I was cooking some breakfast, set the spatula on the side of the pan. When I came back to check again, it had melted right where it connected to the pan. No meal was ruined that day.
Number 4....should continue with the beard trim....pubic hair on your face never looks good IMHO LOL
ReplyDelete"Steve," if you did think pubic hair on the face looked good, you'd probably be gay.
DeleteNo offense, most men don't care what you think.
He is gay

ReplyDelete#6 Lucky that there was only ONE in the salad.
ReplyDeleteWas there?

Or she could have found half a slug!🤮
Delete#2: Better have an Oncologist check out that stool sample.
ReplyDelete#6: Slightly less depressing than your girlfriend discovering your condom broke.
#9: Discovering booking that BLM dinner reservation for last night wasn't a good idea
Shame about the Avenger, looks like that crash-- er, "water landing" happened just last month.

ReplyDeleteA bunch of Alaskans experienced that one during our big 7.0 earthquake on Nov 30, 2018, and on cabinets that were installed correctly.

That was a shaker. How’d you like the one the other day?

#6 it could have been worse it could have been half of a slug or multiple slugs
ReplyDelete6 - some dude ate a slug on a dare. Messed him up real good before he died from it.

ReplyDeleteThat Avenger was out of Jacksonville. He'd flown it in for a couple of our Heritage dinners. Glad he survived, sad loss of a well restored aircraft.

DeleteMy understanding is that they were planning to re-restore it.
Excellent job on his part on the ditching. Other people would have tried for the beach or a convenient road, but he chose the best way.
Delete#2: Oh, the horror! the horror!
ReplyDelete8 shortest non carrier landing I have ever seen.
