  1. Handle of Don Julio ‘42 says he doesn’t see the inside of a jail cell.
  2. In more banal news: Media clutching pearls over JDV “eyeliner” Nixon - JFK debates called: they want their news flash back

    I have yet to shoot a match with them, but indoors I still want another layer. That said they are WAAAYYYY better for a walk around than my Bose earbuds.
  4. Listened to an episode of Honestly today going over the NY Trump verdict. In the discussion was a comparison of the NY prosecutor's zeal and the prosecution of Capone, an alleged murderous mobster convicted of whatever investigators could grasp onto at the time--tax evasion. This seems to fall into the same broad metaphorical bucket but at the other end of the spectrum; given what is known via Hunter's laptop and witness statements, the gun charges are token at best; more realistically just a distraction from the reality that no meaningful justice will be pursued. Move along, people.
  5. Also having a hard time remembering that place...but maybe for different reasons? First overwater trip in the FRS, so first stop after LPLA. Great watering hole for several fantastic trips in the next few years. 🍻
  6. Next they’ll suggest stripping clearances for sending SCI over private email. Crazy talk! Just madness!

    Wife: sends me lake cabins "oooh look, I almost think we can afford it" Me: oh hey, a fighter pilot W: wait, what? how could you tell that? Me: amongst other nondescript military memorabilia, a bottle of JW on the shelf W: ...
  8. Wooohhoooo Illini made the list! wait…what list is this?
  9. It would appear that Tulsi just endorsed DJT, in case anyone had that on their 2024 bingo card.
  10. Had you ever had the opportunity to get gas from a Herk? Never been on the receiving end of probe and drogue, but feedback I’d heard from receivers was that the response mechanism behind a hydraulic reel was light years better than the Iron Maiden. @VMFA187 can probably give color commentary.

    1. …yeah, that was a hit. 2. I can see zero ways in which that might not happen to anyone, at any time.
  12. The point is not a conviction, or jail time, or anything really meaningful; those are all just talking points to froth up the base. From the outset this was clearly a straw case for a kangaroo court, eminently appealable. …but it is on the eve of the election. And THAT is the whole point.
  13. USAF: “F-35 will be able to cover that mission, no problem.”
  14. To be fair, he did say (mumble) “quote”. But he’s no Gipper, that’s for sure.
  15. I’ll take “Phrasing that is blessedly not part of my vernacular” for $800, Alex
  16. Been there Done that No thanks 🤘🏼 …now when the T-6 companion trainers show up on the flight line, you’re on!
  17. Where do I sign?
  18. Airborne gaming router.
  19. The Paul Harvey probably includes some variation of: Family from some Midwestern town (low BAH) Fraudulently claims the family lived in Honolulu, San Francisco, etc (high BAH) It was a dance, especially if the unsponsored spouse couldn’t secure a SOFA recognized job, but it was a manageable dance.
  20. Been a thing at the 3 x 121 programs I’ve worked in; seems 121 standard. Usually the first 75-100 hours.
  21. Don’t sweat it. They’ll flinch first.
  22. My favorite: the ground controller that leaves the mic keyed while she thinks through her next move. ”UA534 continue on bravo then, uhhhmm, no that’s not gonna work, just keep going and I’ll get back to you, break, let’s see who’s next, oh yeah, DL1276 I see you already parked on the bravo pad, that will work let me know when ramp is ready for you, who am I forgetting…” FFS let go of the fucking mic already!
