Nice pics, Dave!

Just scanned this one of me in my scout uniform back in '66 when we were living in Norfolk....

Thanks Baz.

Me, Eagle Scout Court of Honor, 1981. I guess the old man was just so happy I turned it that he let the hair slide…

That is very cool, Dave.

You, too, Baz!!!

Oops, forgot a pic. I give you Vectored Thrust, Ducted Propeller. I had a big hand in this, interesting story.

^direct the output thrust of the blackhawk twin turbines down (swivel) and then through the tail at higher speeds somehow.
Exposed turbines will always be a vulnerable heat source.

(edited rant)
Even the latest Toyota Prius has a completely unusable map system after all these years.
Road labels (major and minor) disappear and reappear for no reason.
Dimming occurs randomly.
And for some strange reason, the screen settings decided to randomly lock me out even while parked.

John - I despise all in-vehicle touch-screens. Completely counter-intuitive. I've had to pull over to the side of the road in my wife-s car to adjust the heat .... :rolleyes: And that's when the screen is visible. Glare from the sun? Forget it.

Just got home from Kalaloch on the Washington coast, spent 2 nights in a cabin with foggy/cloudy sky's, upper 50's low 60's... NOT raining. Pretty great for mid May!

Got to see area's we had never seen before while covering 15 miles of coast line on foot, 90% with no other soul in sight. A perfect way to celebrate 30 years of marriage!
-1.9' tide the first morning and a -2.2' tide at 8am today.

400 mile round trip and our Subie Legacy with the 3.6 flat 6 never dissapointed when asked to make logging trucks retreat behind us.
28.7777 MPG was appreciated also!

Since phones are getting so powerful, and can install navigation apps (Waze), you would think there would options to screen share to the embedded screen of the car.
