    What Do You Want For Christmas This Year?

    I want the same thing I want every year. A Spitfire. Or a Hurricane. Or a T-34B. Or an SNJ. Or a Schweizer 300. Or a Robinson R44. Or a Robinson R22. Or a 40-year-old Cessna 172. Or a Grumman AA-1. Or anything I can fly in. I never get what I want for Christmas! :(

    What old fashioned traditions do you have for Christmas???

    The way things are going, I fear that store's Christmas decorations will go up and Christmas promotions will start happening before my birthday (June 12th).

    What old fashioned traditions do you have for Christmas???

    They don't play the Christmas music I listen to! Oi! To The World -- No Doubt Twelve Days Of Christmas -- The Yobs (Warning: Naughty lyrics) A Gun For Christmas -- The Vandals And of course... The best Christmas song ever... A Fairytale of New York -- The Pogues with Kirsty...

    First snow of the season

    We got another four or five inches last Thursday (Thanksgiving Day). Then the weather warmed up Friday and the accumulation from our two storms began to melt. The snow is gone now. :) I went to the office yesterday, 100 miles south of here in Seattle. My coworker (cow-orker? :p ) said they...

    What old fashioned traditions do you have for Christmas???

    I agree. IMO Christmas decorations and store displays should not go up until the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S.

    What old fashioned traditions do you have for Christmas???

    I don't have any 'old fashioned' traditions for Christmas. For much of my life I've spent the holiday alone, so there's no reason for them. The one tradition I do follow is that I make roast beef and Yorkshire pudding for Christmas dinner. I can tell you, I really get tired of prime rib after...

    Californians Please check in!

    Born in Lakewood (Whew! That was close! I was almost born behind the Orange Curtain! :p ), raised in San Diego 92111 and Lancaster 93536, and lived the most time in L.A. 90034. But I'm not there anymore. I've been in the PNW for seven years (except for a year in Torrance).

    I got bored, so for the past couple-plus hours I've been logged into work and am writing a programme.

    Thanksgiving Day 2010

    Nice looking table! 'Course, I'd feel silly sitting there all on my lonesome. :p I slept late, and now I'm lazing about drinking coffee. Cold pizza for breakfast. (Bachelour Kibble! :D ) I reckon I'll start cooking around noon-ish. (Three hours away, for those of you not in this time...

    Thanksgiving Day 2010

    FWIW, LearJets are not certified for single-pilot operation. (At least not the 'early models' like the 23 or 24.) You might want to look for a Cessna Citation I/SP (501). ;)

    First snow of the season

    Four inches of powder fell overnight, here at sea level. The Jeep is broomed off and is warming up. The Prius isn't going anywhere.

    Show us your Guns!

    You might be fighting a losing battle, since 'auto' has been the accepted term for a semi-automatic pistol for over 100 years.

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I'm wearing my WPG right now. I'm a cheap bas... person, and my house has a propane furnace. So I turn it off when I'm not at home. Got back from Seattle today, and the house was a mite chilly. (There was a snow flurry on the way to work, and temps are below normal for the next week.) So I...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    I did not grow up with sweaters, being a native Southern Californian. Also, I don't look good in them. But now that I live in cooler climes, sweaters have more utility. On Archbury's recommendation, I bought a T-neck from WPG. I was surprised that it fit loosely. I've lost weight, but I...

    Thanksgiving Day 2010

    My mom made a Jell-O thing from a recipe she got from a sister-in-law, who got it from a ladies' magazine in the '50s. She said my aunt called it 'cr_p salad' because of all of the stuff in it. We called it 'That green Jell-O salad with apples and nuts in it'. I've never made it, and mom...
