Morning.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5th:

1783 - Sweden recognized the independence of the United States.

1881 - Phoenix, AZ, was incorporated.

1900 - The U.S. and Britain signed the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, which gave the U.S. the right to build a canal in Nicaragua but not the right fortify it.

1917 - Mexico's constitution was adopted.

1917 - The U.S. Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 (Asiatic Barred Zone Act) with an overwhelming majority. The action overrode President Woodrow Wilson's December 14, 1916 veto.

1924 - The BBC time signals, or "pips", from Greenwich Observatory were heard for the first time. They are broadcast every hour.

Embrace pain and burn it as fuel for your journey.

Coffee's on.

A helicopters job is to fly apart.
A helicopter pilots job is to delay the inevitable for as long as possible.
Helicopter: noun, a pile of spare parts flying in close formation.

So now Iīm a character?? thatīs allright, iīve been called worse, iīll just take that as a compliment.

Thatīs some nice pics there, lots of gauges in that thing, and a nice landscape to be PASSING, looks waaay too hot and dry for me

Weatherreport : still -10*c almost no wind and only an inch of snow.

Disasterreport : I had to put diesel in my truck the other day...it just canīt get that plantoil going when itīs this cold, so put in `bout 5 gallons, just to keep it flowing....at 7 $ a gallon I donīt like it.

Oooops, i ate all the ice cream, but coffee is ready, have fun.

I'm fixing to throw some chicken wings in the oven. Also watching tv and lazing around, wait for kick off. I think I'll eat some 7 layer dip too while I'm waiting for the wings to cook.

Everyone can have some, except Trad.

Shorts - I thought T-Rad was your buddy. What did he do??
I was going to make some suggestions but I don't want to get whacked by the ban-hammer...
