Yes it is!!

And going back again this Easter. One of the categories at the race meeting over the Easter weekend is for Porsche - so 55 P cars of various age and type get to have lots of laps. Search "Bathurst Motor Festival" on Youtube for lots of in car footage.

This is me in the same spot but the photographer further down the hill.

Step dad pic & rant.....

So, jr(the oldest) a very naturally gifted welder call up and tells me about a little "incident" he had yesterday while at the shop while working on his "own" project. After utilizing the Plasma cutter, he proceeds to knock off the still hot slag from the metal. Ironically, a piece pops straight up and lands on the back of his neck. Needless to say, it got his attention very quickly.

And of course, being 29 and immortal as we all were at that age, rubs some ointment on it and powers through without going to the Doc n the box Urgent Care or ER.[emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

Because my work maintains my EMT rating, all sorts of bad goes through my head upon seeing this....... so what can parents do!?!? All y'all parents know what I'm sayin....

So I had to snap a pic

Long time ago. USS Valley Forge CG-50 during trials off of Barking Sands, Hawaii against target UAVs - 1986-ish. Taken from the LSO shack, same sequence from before:

Wow! Thanks for the info. The last shot kinda looks like the con trail left in the early morning missile test left in the sky a few weeks back here in CA(SoCal launch). Saw it in the sky in northern CA just before they pushed the big red button and detonated it, looked cool. However, the local radio station was reporting countless calls from the public claiming everything from UFO's to the end of times from a Chinese Nuc.

Seriously?!? It's amazing how the general public can be uneducated at times. But yet they can tell you every detail about the latest reality based TV show. Aerojet had an engine test many years ago that they advised the public for weeks on end, could have been a month or two, can't recall. Radio spots, TV spots on the news, newspaper articles and freeway signboards, they did everything possible to inform the community. When they torched it off , my rearview mirror was vibrating and I was miles away from the facility. It was cool to see the exhaust plume rise up into the atmosphere, 15-20K by the time it was done and continued to rise.

You would have thought the world was ending by the way some were running around like headless chickens.

Oddly enough, she now rests under the same waters I took those pictures:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Valley_Forge_(CG-50)

The ship was decommissioned on 31 August 2004 at San Diego Naval Station, the first ship with the Aegis combat system withdrawn from service. Valley Forge was sunk on 2 November 2006 as part of a target practice on a test range near Kauai, Hawaii

Re: the xray, my poor wife's 3rd outing on a street bike, she hunkered down (mimicking her instructor) and began to power through a yellow light. The instructor, with no warning, changed her mind and stopped abruptly. My wife's right handle bar hit the instructor's left (fully stopped) handlebar, and my wife was thrown sideways (to the left). At the ER I noted she had no road rash, which at the time I thought was a blessing. Unfortunately I learned later that rather than slide forward, all her momentum went to her left elbow (maybe a bit to her left knee too) and the rest... is history.

Additional bad news was we were scheduled to get on a plane 6 days later for a week-long graduation for our daughter from the Naval Academy.

We found a specialist - an orthopedic - and he said we needed a specialist. WTH? He referred us to a hand-and-elbow ortho surgeon, who worked us in and worked his magic, and today she's (nearly) as good as new. I was AMAZED at the ability of the doc to put that back together again. Side note - he had to cut a perfectly good bone in two just to get to that joint and put it back together again!)

Our medical insurance system may be messed up in this country, but our medical care is amazing! My $.02.
