Random Jabber Jibber thread

I watched the movie American Me last night. I ate lunch with Edward James Olmos once while they were filming American Me at Folsom Prison. Most of the inmates in this movie were not actors, most were Folsom convicts. They filmed for several days in my PIA factory. The housing block they used to film the movie was 3 block. All of my factory workers lived in 3 block. I see many faces I know when I watch this, I still have PTSD. There was 165 stabbings my first year...

P.S. they chose 2 ground floor cells in 3 block to film the movie. They had to pay the inmates to move out for filming. The cells were dingy looking so they movie crew painted them inside. 1/2 way thru filming the rest of the 3 block convicts held a strike and shut down filming because their cells weren't painted also. So Edward James Olmos bought enough paint to paint all the cells and as soon as filming stopped the entire cell block got painted....

My boss at a job boasted that he could clear an entire board room. I lost that bet but we all went for an early lunch that day.
My stepson's ex-wife cleared the patio at a bbq once.

Damn north wind is coming back Tue-Wed. Looks like we are going to be running near normal the rest of the time. Still need a bunch more rain. Mornin.

Damn, 70° in February. 2 or 3 seasons ago we had a few days hit 70°.........it was ok skiing. But it really screwed up places..........ice dams on the roofs and major frost heaves on the roads.....frozen stuff that never has issues. We got frozen in the house......fucked up the door opening it just to find out I couldn't get in the jeep. LOL

I remember in Kansas having to heat up the key to open my car door because the lock was frozen.

when I lived in NE Washington state near Idaho/Canadian border it was -0 in winter. we never locked our car door or set the emergency brake for this reason....everybody used a block/engine heaters. there were electric plugs dangling from the front of everyone's cars.

Someone is doing stall/spin training (?) in a -22. I hear it, but I only see it when it is at altitude by its contrail. Seconds after reaching contrail height, it pitches up and then falls, tumbling on more than one axis before killing roll and then pitch. The aircraft is visually quite slippery even in my heavy 20x binos. I got lucky and saw it silhouetted against its own contrail “knuckle”.

Here are two leftover knuckles from back-to-back stall initiations.

Wife opened her door the other morning and the weather strip stayed stuck to the body.

There is a huge compass drawn on the dry lake bed, from what I was told it is used during spin tests.
