The early days of starting engines on a SR-71 Blackbird
What did the Blackbird SR-71 and Buick Wildcats have in common? Below is an interesting story of how the problem of starting the 6,000 lb. 9-stage engines was remedied. Each gargantuan engine required 800 pounds of torque and 3,500 revolutions per minute. to start. Click HERE to read the story of how innovative engineers "got 'er done".
Happy Halloween!
For those who celebrate Halloween, Irish and I would like to wish all a safe and happy one. Some folks take this day way to seriously IMHO, but to each their own. Halloween was always a fun time for me. Below is an outline as to how Halloween has progressed for me personally through the years and I enjoy/enjoyed all of the phases. Keep in mind I was born in a rural setting in the mid-60's.
Young child= Selecting a costume, dressing as a favorite spook, getting candy
Pre-adolescent= Harvest carnivals, helping carve a pumpkin, making a costume, feeling awkward about tagging along with younger kids and asking for candy
Adolescent= Rolling yards (papering yards for non-Southerners), dry-sitting, trying to scare folks with a "dumb bull" without getting shot. Sometimes girls are involved and that made the evening more interesting
Young adult=More yard rolling, costume parties, drinking at said party and waking up wondering what happened, etc.
Adulthood=Kids of my own dressing them as something and later watching the whole progression of what was previously described. Hoping they make it home safe, always.
Middle Age Adulthood=This is the stage when you still get invited to a costume party and actually go, sometimes. Also, at this stage I began to notice that the right Halloween party could be better than a strip joint if one was interested, but it mattered not as I was married, too fat, and too tired to stay out past ten o'clock, and was beginning to realize that a big part of the gals there that were dressed like sluts probably had issues I really did not need.
Later Middle Aged=Nobody has rolled my yard since my kids married and left. We live so far in the woods, we have had less than 20 trick or treaters in 30+ years of living here. I review the grandkids outfits and wait on the wife to return from trick or treating with them. Then, I inspect the candy. I may load some magazines while they are out for the evening. Happy Halloween!

Same song, but a different verse
How many times have we as Americans heard from the left, "all we want is reasonable gun control"? Then, Blah, blah, blah, gunshow loophole, blah, blah, assault weapons ban, blah, blah, ghost guns, red flag laws, blah, more stringent background checks, etc. I could go on, but we all know the drill. Here is a case where some folks actually told the cops that Mr. Card was about to blow a gasket and they were sent to his home weeks ago amid concerns of, "he is going to snap and commit a mass shooting". This was a terrible event that should have been prevented and is now being used as propaganda by evil people who are hellbent on banning the private ownership of firearms. Never give up your guns.
