Hijacking a thread

How about attempts at a little humor, which of course would have nothing to do with the topic of the thread??.....for instance, I just resisted a smart ass remark about the latest pic of Gary Sisson’s Woody being parked in front of a ...”SPA”.....would that get somebody’s knickers in a knot??......Mark

Flatford8, wiseass humor is what makes my world go round! Just ask my family!

I don't understand why lower pressure condenses water vapor. Maybe you can explain that bit of physics to us.

Man, we have some smart cookies here! Jay is sneaking-up on this one real fast. This phenomenon with the airplane wing usually happens with a very heavy aircraft, at or near the point when the lift factor is the most-extreme (that initial lift to start the aircraft skyward), and on a day when the moisture content in the air is saturated. The momentary EXTREME lift produced just as the aircraft rotates produces the greatest degree of LOW PRESSURE on the upper surface of the wing. What you're seeing is the moisture in the air BOILING (think STEAM) at ambient temperature. You can actually boil water at room temperature if you lower the atmospheric pressure to a point low enough.

I think Alan may have just invented our most-infamous new phrase (Subject Drift) for 2024!

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled old Ford stuff!

No, Karl made the distinction between hijack and drift.
Regularly scheduled old Ford stuff?
Somehow, Coop always manages to drift our old Ford stuff over to old Sky King stuff!

Alan, if this gets out of hand we can always use the "Emergency Flashers".

I think the Cowboys were looking for some flashers today, but all they saw were streakers!

A picture of Gary Sisson's woodie? I'm glad you finished it with .'being parked in front of a 'spa'. That's the Majestic Hotel (and spa) in Anacortes where the ferry docks on the mainland. . We were across the street innocently eating lunch at a sidewalk cafe. I will say that after my open heart surgery a couple years back I had a few different roommates on the other side of the curtain. I know it doesn't sound like me, but we'd get gabbing about cars and then my wife would say "Show him some of those pictures of your woodie that you have on your phone!" Would this be considered a 4 wheel drift?

I found this post very funny, many years ago a friend wanted me to decode a data plate, we were talking on phone, my Grandmother was across the room and had covered her mouth and laughing till tears. I asked her what was wrong, and she told me "You asked him if you wanted to look up his rear end." 40 years later I still laugh.

So now we’ve drifted to proctology??

So what, you don't think that Penny was a cutie? I tend to drift ONLY toward subjects that I know a little SOMETHING about, so as not to dazzle folks with BS that I obviously know nothing about.

Yah, but Dale Evans was more my type.

Thank God it was your wife saying that - as you have easily been thrown out of the place.

Oh! it took me a while... Well now,... Um, I guess this thread has covered most of the bases!

[flatford8]

I stayed away from the airplane posts......I know there are very specific reasons an airplane is able to lift and stay in the air....none of which I know anything about.....only that, when I’m in one, I’m very happy that they do....now, the post about Coopman and BS....well, we all have experienced a little of that!!.....LOL.....Mark
