I have one of those for the internet service here but I don't use it at all.

We have our own email with my surname in the domain. We do pay for that one though.

For my business I have an email with my domain. We pay Richard 5 bucks per month per account for that. It is an Microsoft Exchange and works great.

I got another email wanting aerial photography and all the say is they will pay with a credit card. It was from a Russian domain. The same BS, can't talk because of Kung Flu. Straight to spam reporting.

I don't know, sounds pretty legit to me! :)

We get email from people scouring the government bids looking for aerial photography, and they want us to fly it for them as a subcontractor and they deal with the government. We have done that in the past in the film days and it worked out, but it took us forever to get paid.

One of the proposals was a great source of laughter for us. They wanted us to fly low altitude high resolution imagery of areas over Afghanistan and Iraq. For some reason the pilots did not feel like it was a good idea to fly our plane to the big sandbox, and fly around over that area of the world at 2,000 feet.

We bid it at 150 million dollars. For some reason we did not get the project.

I think you scared them off by UNDER bidding that job!

I think you would need an upgrade as well. To do 650kts with all the needed equipment at that altitude you need an RF-4.

I suspect the entire project was photographed with unmanned UAVs.

We were sure that renting an A-10 Thunderbolt II with titanium tub and the operational cost would be complex, and expensive. It was a bit beyond our scope as an aerial mapping company.

Years ago when we worked at our former place of employment the home office managed to crash their 206 in a backyard. No one was hurt at all, so it was lucky, but the 206 was trash.

They asked us to find a replacement. We found a 206 Turbo that was originally sold to some Colombian company for aerial photography and it had a factory hole in the belly for the camera system. They sold it to a company in Europe for passenger service company. It was dissembled and crated up for a few years and shipped back to south America. It was in some jungle city and the price sounded good.

We told them we would accept it if it was delivered to our home airport, and our mechanic approved it as represented. Once again the pilots at the company did not want to play Indiana Jones and fly across the jungle. Some local ferry pilot was ready. He flew it for many long miles over dense jungle, and had to land at little remote airports to buy fuel. Just flying from the tip of Mexico to Oklahoma and over the Gulf of Mexico would be scary enough. It arrived and was just what we needed. It was purchased, and they are still using it.

Moring all. This afternoon/evening I get to figure out how to install a rear facing car seat in a VW bug. A modern bug but still a tight fit.

Get the CAD out!

probably would not help at all.

I have no experience at all with car seats for kids.

Geezer voice "When I was a kid I just stood up on the seat next to mom. If she hit the brakes her right arm flew out automatically to catch me. To the day she quit driving her right arm would fly out if she hit the brakes hard." End Geezer voice.

And that is no exaggeration. No one used seat belts back then and very few cars had them. Parents go to jail now for driving around with a kid standing up in a car. Of course I never wore a helmet when riding my bike. I drank from garden hoses, and ate with dirty hands. I was a rebel without a clue, but so were all my friends.

Have fun with that seat.

Its like a small tetris game. All the pieces need to fit just right.

A few years back the local PD and EMS folks put on a "check your car seat for free" event. A very high percentage of parents had the seats improperly anchored. The EMS folk have to deal the aftermath of a wreck and a baby seat or child seat not anchored in.

They had a great turnout, no tickets, and a lot more safely restrained kidos.

we can get a virtual one done here at the children's hospital. Not sure I trust virtual.....

Send your wife to a local fire department and have her ask them to check it out. She can smile and say she does not trust her idiot husband to have hooked it up right and they will check it.

Every single sit com on TV has an idiot middle age white man that is an incompetent fool and can only survive because his wife is the smart one.

well she is a lawyer...………...

We won't hold that against her. :eek:

She was smart enough to marry you. :D

Might have been smarter to run the other way.

Could be you had something she likes and she figured it was a package deal. My wife always says she married me for the Cobra. Good thing I know how it works or I might be gone! :eek:
