Hope you're doing ok though.<br /><br />Ah yes, rudder rather than stick. I know of wence you are speaking. It was useful in the Eagle also, even though the computer did most of the actual flying. It was very nice way to get the nose to point when you were in a very slow high AOA scissors. The computer took care of not stalling, the rudder moved the pipper towards the target. The Eagle drivers that were born in the Eagle, and thought they were Manfred, learned a bit when the second generation of transition guys came into the squadron. The first Eagle drivers had retired or gone to staff (staff being the polite form of "Hell"), thought they were unbeatable. They were good, some very good, but unbeatable? Nope.<br />Thanks for reminding me of an excellent ride against my Squadrons o-3 Weapons Officer.

You can still see where the two canines went in, followed by the teeth between them. What a playful creature he is. Not mine. Wouldn't be - ever! Unfortunately my Miss Jeanie's best friend's husband is the retired Veterinarian who thinks he knows how to train a puppy.<br />Do I sound somewhat Piss - - angry? The episode did help me gather stuff for our "go bag".

Hands still ache from the surgery occasionally, and I need to remember not to try to lift anything by spreading a hand over the top of anything wide. Frequent massaging of the palm muscles has helped a lot (thank you whomever told me about that). Hand strength is returning fairly quickly, I no longer require pliers to unscrew the ketchup bottle. (for real). Follow -up with the Doc on Wed, I expect not problem.<br /><br />I'm glad she survived, I'm not a vet (ernarian, I am a eran), but I understand that chocolate can be particularly lethal to dogs. Masking tape the book to the dog. Hmmmm, that would certainly get MY attention and I'd never touch another book.<br /><br />Yours and my BLT's sound pretty much the same. You might add a bit of pesto sauce or fresh basil to the mayo. Really adds to the flavor.<br /><br />Don't think that cannon would have the range. The ranch is about 15 miles west. James Polk Johnson was LBJ's grandfather's Cousin, Not sure what that relationship is, so let's just say "distant".

Whom decided during her late puppy portion that everything was edible. 2 pounds of chocolates and 2 plastic jars of kitty vitamins (including the plastic jars)? She met us at the door, obviously after getting out of her kennel, with her legs crossed and as she was leaving the porch the flow began. <br /><br />The wife's arm-rest teddy bear? Used to have a nice face, dog ate it, teddy punched dog, ever after wife could hold teddy up and say "What's this?" and dog would hang head.<br /><br />Eating the blanket that was within reach of her when she was in her cage? I found lavender wool poop for months.<br /><br />And after eating a couple books, she read a book by a bunch of monks somewhere that dealt with difficult dogs. And used one of their techniques. Next book got masking-taped into dog's mouth for an hour. Never ever touched another book, or anything of 'mommy's.'<br /><br />Too bad that cannon has been demilitarized, else one could use that to shoot at LBJ's place as a proper salute.<br /><br />And BLTs... Much prefer making my own, as there's the perfect combination of not-quite-crunchy bacon, fresh tomato slices, the outer crisp green leaves of iceberg lettuce, the proper generous slather of mayonnaise and a good white bread (maybe with sesame seeds on top.) Mmmmm. Dangit, now I want BLTs. And there's no tomatoes in the house. Grrrr.<br /><br />Sounds like you had fun.
