Man, we (humans) make some beautiful machines.
Talked with a Boeing worker today. He's excited about the new hyper-sonic plane they're coming out with. I only hope they can keep the ticket prices reasonable. The Concord tickets were uber-pricey.

I like the little spy figure with II on it. And, it's spotless (clean compulsions are worthy things).
And, it appears you're into seeing what's behind your vehicle too. I've probably got as many lumens pointed South as I do North. 'Cause out in the desert in the middle of the night, lighting up what you are working on is a good thing.

His name is Spooky...He rides on the shoulder of everyone ever connected with the McDonnell-Douglas F-4 to protect us from gremlins and other nefarious mischief-makers...The "II" is because the F-4 is the Phantom II, the first being the McDonnell FH-1......Ben

Thanks, I was on each of the fires in the photos
Totally wiped at the end of the day. This was a backfire operation to stop a 200 acre grass fire and yeah thats me in the yellow helmet
In this picture the white helmet is the Battalion Chief/ Incident Commander, Red 29 Helmet is George my captain. Like so many fire fighters, Pancreatic Cancer got him two years into retirement, yellow 29 helmet is me. I think out of the 3 of us I am the only one still alive.

Sure is pretty.. nice to live in a rust free environment..
The close up of Spooky, looks like a parking meter out in front of your house.. like a beach town..
I had to look...That's my mail box...Hit by countless drivers, then replanted by me...By now I'm used to picking up the pieces of broken car mirrors from my yard...The base loses a little more material every time it's hit, looking pretty shabby now...Over the years three people have returned and admitted their fault, then either paid me direct or let their insurance company pay...Most don't even slow down......Ben
EDIT: Before you ask, my mailbox is no closer to the street than any others, yet it is the only one that ever gets hit...The speed limit is 25 MPH...

Ben, are the Jerry Cans for fuel?
