Expand I would staple some chicken wire to a sawhorse, grab a puck, stick, and skates, and change my screen name to BobbyOrr. Then I'd cross check the small diameter trees to the ground and sucker punch the big trees before going to the penalty box 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That one was definitely greasy, though kemp, Vince, Dominique, shaq were all violent in game dunkers too, including lebron. Jordan is the goat imo but he was more stylistic, mostly bc he could palm the ball so easily and just dunk around ppl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 HRRR says 15 here for a morning low. 3km NAM says 23 lol. Based on the history of this winter, I predict 20, which keeps the streak of no temps in the teens here alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Does anyone remember a mid-March 2019 event? I measured 6.5”. I can’t find anything on it. It’s what prompted me to get a spotter ID, because it was one of the few times in my life Aberdeen/Havre de Grace jacked, and I couldn’t report it lol.

Even after decades of flying, I'm still a white-knuckle flier (honestly, an irrational fear in this day and age), so this is nightmare fuel to me. My first thought seeing the pic of the dropped engine cowling in the front yard that @CAPE put up a couple posts back was, "Thank God it didn't hit the house OR the RV in that front yard!" Upon seeing some of these additional pics/videos, I'm more soberly thinking THANK GOD this rig landed safely at Denver. Dear God.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We teach a gas turbine course for ships at the school. The dude who teaches it is incredible, and I always ask him his thoughts on failures when they occur. He is from the aviation industry, but the engine is the same on a GT powered ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
