| OMG.........We've been 'Hit'............!!!! here are a couple of videos..... of the Meteor hitting in Russia....... and the god awful sound of it hitting the ground......!! I have such a sick feeling in my gut............!!! Look at that "Contrail"!!! AM I HEARING RIGHT THAT ANOTHER, IS PASSING BY US.....TODAY...!!!!????! |
The Emergencies Ministry described Friday's events as a "meteor shower in the form of fireballs" and said background radiation levels were normal. It urged residents not to panic.
Chelyabinsk city authorities urged people to stay indoors unless they needed to pick up their children from schools and kindergartens. They said what sounded like a blast had been heard at an altitude of 32,800 feet.
The U.S. space agency NASA has said an asteroid known as 2012 DA14, about 46 meters in diameter, would have an encounter with Earth closer than any asteroid since scientists began routinely monitoring them about 15 years ago.
Television, weather and communications satellites fly about 500 miles higher. The moon is 14 times farther away.

"He's landed his 767, on just about every "alternate levee".....on the planet.....and, is in the process Of getting 'Certified', to land on those, dried up,river beds......on 'Mars'... ;/ anyway, Dave lives in the Beautiful UK........ when on'Hiatus' , while the NTSB conduct their internal investigations.... YEARLY...☺....... ..;) Dammit Dave, put some "Socks" on......Eshhhh!!....;/..... |
as to why.......'No' stop for fuel.........???
 |
| Discussing the flight with the pilots. Reason for no fuel stop: 1) light headwinds 2) light load!..... Mmmmmm So 'Cap'.....did leave his "EGO" at home....... lol ;/ |
Cap, before "Take-off"........
Happy as a 'clam'...
and he was 'Warned' NO
'BACK SEAT'....driving.....
 |
| Before Take-off...WARNED AGAIN...... No back seat driving.....!!!!! WELL, that was about to change...!!!!!!.. ;( |
...."Unable"...to not "Back seat" drive....;/
Cappy, on 'Final Approach'......
'BAD'....Cap!!
see below...!!!!!!!!!
;/
 |
| You were"WARNED"....!!!!!!!!! ...Ughhhhhh.......!!!! can anybody say, "CAPIII" Approach"......... ;/..... Sorry 'Cap'.........but..... it was 'for your own good'!! |

DAMMIT..........'CAP'.....

Somebody get the 'Duck' tape.........LOL
ANOTHER BIG QUESTION:
Will Cap'n Aux find the perfect pilot watch in the streets of Manila?........Mmmmm..........I seem to recall.....last year...a trip......you took to Thailand.... FOR 3 FRIGGIN WEEKS.....!!!...
anyway....you bought a watch.....but not just any old watch.....
"NATGEO".....PLEASE CHIME IN............
Why YES...............MissTWA ....
we at 'NatGeo'...pride ourselves on first rate....real time adventures.....!!!......the purchase of the 'watch' shown here......below....proved to be one of our most popular.......It seems our Captain........traveled half way around the world, rented a 'Scooter'............rode an elephant.........made a pass at Micky D's........to buy a $12.00 ...........Huh Boss..??!!.
 |
| 2 hr's left.................... Cap, ............... PEDAL FASTER......... ;/ |
I'll leave the rest of the details........for 'Cap' to divulge.......LOL
 |
| Hey Cap.........!!!! WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FOR $11.99....... ;/... "World Peace"...instead of 'cheap "Time Piece"............. (rolling eyes) |
 |
| Hows those 'batteries' working out for ya.........??!! Mmmmmm... ;) |
Cappy............

Glad you stopped by......as always.......!!!!
oh, has it thawed out in Toronto(right?)...yet......????
Happy 'V' day...to ya......and to all the 'Peeps' who come to visit....!!!
I'm told it's plus 2 degrees in Toronto today, and that the snow is melting. Of course there's still 18 inches of it on my lawn, so it has a lot of melting still to do, but at least its going in the right direction.
On the other hand, 85 degrees here in Miami. It's supposed to begin raining later tonight and into tomorrow, which is unfortunate, but still pretty nice temps. And, no snow to shovel :-)
Happy V Day to you too Miss T! Hope you had a wonderful day - of course -it's nothing like trudging around the streets of Manilla - but - I guess - we'll just havre to clum it at home!!! :)
Oh Ritchie....bet you don't want to go back home.....I remember it was late last February...visiting GG.....and there was the most Awesome blizzard.........on the Friday....and OMG.....I could feel everyone cursing the weather......but I was 'Loving' it...but it was damn cold alright..down to 5F....and had the best view of the snowploughs......5 or 10 deep, clearing the runway.....!!......It's almost a year.....now....Funny how some days can pass in a blink.....but hours can drag on for ever.!!....
Safe Travels...Ritchie...
Ha Ha.....Mark, Yep......Poor Cap.....!!!..The 'Horrow'...."))))
