Shoot, that's about the only useful thing I ever did know but I am clueless about the rest.

I went to an Itzhak Perlman recital around 1995. Just awe-inspiring how one unamplified guy with a violin could fill a large concert hall with sound.  And such beautiful sound.

Maryland has been whinging about and studying where to put another bay crossing for ages.  EF is in a perfect spot to make it part of the solution.  Build a new bridge-tunnel combo like at the mouth of the bay.  Just run Rt 100 out through that park where everyone is gawking at the ship from...

Have you read any other Pynchon?  I like him but can understand why he's not to everyone's taste.  For M&D, there's a lot of surveying in the 1000 pages, but I'm not sure it's worth forcing yourself to read all the rest of it if you're not enjoying the ride.  With anything of his I figure...

Went to see these two last night, first live show I've been to since covid.

There are four Navy 44 Mk1 up for sale on https://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/   Auctions end Feb 3.

I was searching youtube for evidence that I really saw Bela/Sam/Jerry play since I was starting to question my memory and found there's already bootleg cellphone video of the encore at the Sunday night show you went to posted.  Won't post the link in case you as a professional musician frown on...

Sorry about the money, but I would have believed $180 too. The $25 I would have guessed was a scam or counterfeit if someone told me that on the street. I bet the $25 seats didn't last long.  I got to see Bela Fleck play with Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas at Merlefest a few years ago. They were...

Good video, on the greatest hits rotation at every safety standdown.  For a flyover at an NFL game, there's decent chance flight lead was someone fairly senior. Flights like that can be the kind of thing where a senior guy who doesn't get to fly much any more says, "yeah, put me on that one." 

Guess I'm waffling here, but just watched the cockpit view again and on the other hand it doesn't look all that bad from there.  If you're used to flying low and close to obstacles like the 101st does all the time, I could see why the pilots would feel going between the light towers wasn't that...

Not true. Military pilots are subject to FAR in federal airspace unless there is a written exemption. I'm way rusty on that stuff, 10 yrs plus 3 days since my last flight actually, but every military pilot knows that unless the got winged in the 1940s. Funny comment about MOA's though because my...

Jerome Rand is off on a new adventure, no YouTube videos I'm aware of but he is soliciting donations this time.  For charity, not a Patreon scheme. https://mssociety.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=64138

Since Undaunted Courage and Pynchon were mentioned above, I have to recommend Pynchon's Mason & Dixon. Tremendously entertaining, historical, all-around amazing book. Written with a lot of Snaggletooth-ian olde english I recall, but it has been 24 years since I read it. Long, and so good I...

Don't remember Mrs Marshall, she might have moved on or I might just not have been paying attention.  Anything we were taught about etiquette didn't stick. In my case anyway. There are a bunch of books they issue to plebes with all the other gear on Induction Day.  Sail and Power was one...

There's one called Argo that a Maryland developer wrote, not designed specifically for the Chesapeake but sounds like it might have that crowd sourced piece if it gets critical user mass.  I haven't really tried it.  I think there was a Spinsheet article about it.

Don't forget to put "Service Etiquette" up there with them.

@BuenaOnda  What about built-in obsolescence on the SailProof?  Is the battery replaceable by user and will the OS get updates?

And thanks for the Sly video, hadn't heard that for a long time and that version sounds way better than most youtube audio.  Wish I could move like the trumpet player.  Gotta be the shoes.
