Yea Navy!!

Kind of makes you hurt though to see the poor Westies take it on the chin again.

I love college football, and Army-Navy is one of my favorites. It is amazing how hard you will try, just to sing second.

Saturday evening tithe.

The carton mountain is slowly receding. There's some problems moving to a slightly smaller place. Having storage problems.

No place to put the møøse? [X(][:'(]

As I said, they've migrated to the North Pole during winter. They'll come back to graze during summer.

PC up and running. Go me! [:D]

... now if I just can find why the sound isn't working ...

Did you check if it's plugged in? [:'(]

Fixed. Noted that I only had half the RAM I should have, so I unscrewed a side plate and had a check inside. It seems that the move was a little bumpy, as one of the RAM modules had shaken a little loose. Same thing with the sound card.

I guess less than ten years.
They were modernized to NATO-standards quite expensively, but the Luftwaffe has the policy not to have more than 3 major warplanes.
So once the Typhoon was introduced, it was Typhoon, Tornado, F-4 and Mig-29. As there were propably 200 F-4 and only ~22 Mig-29, the Migs were sold for 1 € apiece to Poland. [:@]

But arnt the 29s like 3 generations newer than the latest Phantom mod? [&:]

Sure. The F-4 Phantom is a 3rd Ggneration jet and the Mig-29 a 4th generation that had its avionics modernized to western standards while having a the superior agility of a sovied 4th Generation fighter.

But then, again: The descision was made not to have too many different types of planes to streamline training, maintenance, replacement parts... With only 24 Migs available and roughly 250 F-4 Phantoms, there wasn't really a choice.

Watch out, or I'll send my kamikaze moose after you. Mixed high and low altitudes. [:'(]

As long as we don't talk about zombie moose!

I read Mira Grant's Newsflesh trilogy in the US within a week. Entertaining books [;)]

Zombie moose vs. Kamikaze moose. This is starting to sound like something out of Monty Python. Or the worlds worst AAR (tm) [:D]

Zombie or Kamikaze, it doesn't matter. NOTHING get past our picket Giraffes!

Doubtful. Even if they are there they've built houses on top of them. They are also in Birmingham, not somewhere accessible, developed and safe like the Burmese jungle. If they were buried in 1950 then they would be late mark stuff like Mk21 Spitfires which are (comparatively) less valuable.

Besides that, there are only a handful of companies around who could handle the work (if you've got a spare 7 million to spend) and they don't have that much spare capacity. Maybe the chap just wants his flowerbeds turning over? [:D]

Leaving now for a Field Training Exercise recce north of the polar circle. Well, it can't be any colder or more snow up there, can it?

Laters, friends.

Wow. Quite the change in weather around these here parts. We'll drop 30 degrees F today and get ~10-12" of the white stuff. Winds gusting to 40 MPH tonight will make for some "interesting" road vis and wind chill (-20 to -30F).

NoDak is getting it worse than we are. Someone got a line on whether Shanilec is still thawed?

So the next question is why did they sell it at fire sale prices? [:)]

Finland getting Leopard 2 for 8.000 Euro apiece is another example.
