OK, OK, ready to join in on the morning ritual. Coffee and a bowl means wake and bake time.
Point of information, the accident that closed US-2 yesterday morning involved 2 semi`s. The one turning into the rest area, that was rear ended, was carrying 20 tons of DYNOMITE. Had the makings of a big boom.

Back in '75, the work got really tight around here in the construction field. A guy I'd worked with had a CDL and a house full of kids to feed, so he headed to Alaska to work on the pipeline. He hired on for an outfit that hauled/supplied all the explosives used for clearing the route. A factory rep gave a one day seminar on explosives to ease the fears for the guys that had never been around the stuff.
He takes a stick of dynamite and throws it across the room. He takes a stick and slams it with a hammer, trying to show that the stuff is "safe".
My buddy had noticed that damn near every road sign around town had bullet holes in them. He asked the rep, "What happens if some yokel shoots into the back of the trailer when I'm driving?"
The rep smiled and said, "You'll never hear the bang......"

"You`ll never hear the bang", got that right. Reminds me of the time we was low leveling down the Mekong River in Vietnam, and my pilot asked me if I knew what would happen if we had an engine failure right now ? Told him that "We ain`t gonna be writing home about it".
PS,
It`s not above zero here, got down to 18 below last night.

Yoop, it's kinda like the guy that asked the pilot of the twin engine plane how far they could go on one engine. The reply? "All the way to the crash site."

I'll fly again one day !-- they say if U can fly a helicopter U can fly anything !-- about the time I started thinking -- I can do this !-- we tooling along at about a thousand feet when he turns the engine off!-- I was not amused !- only thing to do is drop that collective and pick a spot right down there and fall for 900 ft. and flare out at the end ! Flying nap of the earth or below tree top level is a rush U can't explain ! 100 mph 3 feet off the ground ! It's hard to find anything that will give U an adreniline rush like that !

On a helicopter there's something called V.N.E. -- Velocity to Never Exceed -- when U get close the whole bird starts shaking !- it can shake itself to pieces !- That solo flight in that Hughes 300 was one of the most terrifying things I've ever done ! The instructor was riding me hard that day !- told me sit it down right there !-- Then he said if you're gonna fly like that you're flying alone -- now call the tower and tell them you're flying solo !- I didn't need a seat belt !-- I had a grip on the seat with my butt cheeks !

Last time I was in a 'copter was at the county fair. A guy was selling rides for $20. I handed the guy that was collecting the cash $30. He said it's only twenty bucks. I told him the extra ten was for a scare ride. He walked over to the pilot, talked with him for a second, and I could see the pilot's face go all smiles. Dude came back, tucked the ten spot in my shirt pocket and said, "The pilot says the scare is for free."
Climbed in, passed pleasantries with the pilot, heard the revs come up, and BOOM! I swear this bird jumped straight up like a rocket. Got her up a thousand feet or so and he asked if my seat belt was on. Told me to feel free to stick my feet out the door and enjoy the view, then he rolls it up on it's starboard side and leaves me hanging. He rolls it back hard to port and drops it down 500 feet in a nano-second. Takes off pulling pitch, gets her up to max speed, stands it straight up on it's tail for a stall, and lets it drop like a rock, backwards. Pulls out at the very last minute, takes off like a bat out of Detroit, and is knocking the tops off of the cattails in the nearby swamp. Pulls it up just in time for the skids to lick the tops of the trees. He heads up for a few thousand feet and every bell and whistle starts going off, along with the dash lights flashing red. He smiles and says, "Don't worry, we're just out of fuel."
Got the bird landed and he looks me in the face and says, "I feel like I should give you your money back. I didn't scare you a bit!"
I replied, "It was worth every penny. Didn't figure you could kill me without killing yourself, so I just sat back and enjoyed the ride. By the way, I could tell the way you danced with the cattails that you'd done that somewhere before."
He says, "Yeah, but it was in rice paddies."

Keef, you should be seeing something anytime now.
Hippie, just reading that kinda made me dizzy.... Wow, what a story. My liver would have fallen out the first boom.
