    And the Canadians, eh!

    Some buddies and I are meeting in Newport and riding down for the entertainment, both in the air and on the bike paths.

    Snowbirds too? Cool!

    I understand they spray maple syrup on the crowd as they fly over. :thumbsup:


    EDIT: I humbly apologize for my offensive comment. I now realize that using stereotypes to generalise the behaviour of a group of people is inappropriate and potentially hurtful to individuals within the group who do not exhibit the traits mentioned.

    @herzalot don't know what you put before you edited, hope it wasn't really bad. I am not usually offended.
    We were delayed and mostly missed the Tbirds.
    Saw the Snowbirds, their little ancient trainers are kinda weak; though lots of skills in their pilots.
    Fat Albert does impress me, what we think of as fat and slow is actually very maneuverable. I do miss the JATO takeoffs at El Toro.
    Blue Angels were very excellent.
    My favorite was the F-35, just a huge display of power. (Turning money into noise)

    I didn't edit. I was worried that some of you Canadians may be offended that I stereotyped you as maple syrup guzzlers!
    My disclaimer was a commentary on how sensitive we (some? many?) have become as a nation...leading to further polarization rather than genuine kindness.

    "Turning money into noise" Now that's funny!

    The money into noise saying I've known for 40+ years.
    I've heard apply to every form of motorsports, boats, Motos, planes, cars, trucks etc.
    Even for non racing, just people into it.
    Also for those into the shooting sports, ammo ain't cheap.

    Look on the bright side...it cancelled the last day of the air show, so that day of air pollution won't be happening.

    At least not in that iteration. They still have to fly home. Saw several overhead, heading for Los Alamitos today.

    in other news the Kilauea eruption is slowing but still putting out. Today enough magma goodness spit out to cover 95% of the lava lake. Todays surface is 1 meter to 3 meters thick as it is building up near the vents. This started Sept 29th and the new surface is about 20 meters thick. The new magma is pushing down on the caldera so the tilt meters show deflation. The newly deposited surface rings the older lava lake like a giant pancake in a giant skillet. Tourists are flocking to Kilauea to be told are you fricken crazy you are not going in during an eruption in the main caldera.

    factural data is hard to find but today HVO said the new pancake is 102 feet thick at the edges so I under estimated by 10 meters or 33%. Very poor performance by me, sorry

    Hard to ride with this:
    20211009_202754.jpg

    Short version: left half of the thumbnail completely pulled off the nail bed. Kinda sore. Particularly when any pressure is applied.

    Takes about 4-6 months to regrow.

    Ouch.

    I've had 15 robo calls from 15 different local numbers in less than 20 hrs all saying there's been a charge in Boise to my Amazon acct that may be fraudulent. Well duh...

    I've blocked then all, and have my ringer off now ( it's usually off anyway, to the consternation of my wife) .

    Interesting that's it's gone from annoyance to anger to "whatever", I'll ignore everything. Hope nothing important needs to get through. LOL.

    Am I a bad person to wish a slow painful death, or at least excruciating pain, on the creators of this software? If so I'm ok with that.

    Edit: make that 17 calls.
