    You boys like Mexico?

    Cancun for a wedding. We stayed at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun and had an amazing time. Beautiful resort with top notch service. Now back home and back to reality.

    Racing Simulators

    It all depends on budget, and are you going the PC route, much better, or doing it off of a Playstation or Xbox, which I started with. I would recommend going with a PC, and you can start with Thrustmaster wheel and pedals, and get a chassis from GT Omega racing for example. Personally, I...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    Since we seem to have a quorum of like minded folks here, I decided to upload some photos from another trip a few years ago, this time from the Imperial War Museum in London. This one is free to enter, just a donation is recommended. Absolutely incredible, and the WW1 exhibit is probably the...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    Below are some photos of The Eagle, and RAF Bar in Cambridge. This place is tops with historical significance. This is where the American pilots liked to hang out before their missions flying with the RAF, before the US entered WW2. The tradition was to burn their names into the ceiling as a...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    Incredible stuff in here, i never in my life thought I would see an SR-71, in England no less. I cannot recommend this place more if you ever get over there. Everyone loves the A-10 of course. One of the ram jet engines used in SR-71's, picture for scale does not do...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    still in the civilian hangar at this point, but making my way into the more modern conflict hangars next. Not just allied planes here, which was new for me, more to come later as well. V1, I will have to dig out the photos of the V-2 from the trip...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    Yeah, they unfortunately didn't have much "sympathy" for years, which was tragic. The "success" they laid down over Germany was viewed as too brutal in country, so they were not returning heroes, something similar to the treatment of Vietnam vets in the states would be somewhat of a parallel...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    Oh yeah, there are a few around, there is even a launching track by the American haul, getting there in a couple of posts probably. I hope I got a picture of the rocket that was inside, I certainly was staring at it long enough. Internet photo from Duxford in the meantime. This is just...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    At this point I am walking through some of the civilian hangars of planes that are regularly flown Luckily there are not many Brits with guns, some asshole flying his red baron over on of my families farms would get a nasty shock from someone like me :)...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    I am very proud of them both, my Grandfathers brother was not as lucky as the other two and didn't make it back, he flew a beaufighter as well. My Great Uncle has quite the stories, he was shot down in his bomber, none of the crew survived, but he was blown up and landed in a tree. Nearly...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    A harrier or a predecessor to a Harrier, I cannot remember. Either way, a Hawker that can take off and land vertically. In this hall, are planes under restoration. Tons of spitfires, hurricanes, p51's, the usual suspects. Something more special to me though...

    RAF Duxford - Airbase and Imperial War Museum

    Hello All, I was just back in England again for a workshop at one of our corporate Headquarters in Cambridge, England. I have been about 4 times to this office and finally made my way down the road to the Duxford air base. I was really excited as I go to as many RAF museums as I can while in...

    Docking Station- 3 monitor set up for home office? File access, sharing etc?

    I always am fascinated by what various software programs cost users per month. I build stuff in CRM for a living, and we have a huge volume discount with Salesforce, but we also have various tools we bring in as well, D&B, LinkedIn Navigator, Office365 obviously, People.ai, etc. All various...

    Genesis dealer (cars not rv's)

    Where are you located? A long time ago I worked at Allen Cadillac GMC Hyundai in Laguna Niguel, I view them well and appreciated my time there. I would presume they would have the genesis line, and they have a very competitive internet department as most of their deals flow through on internet...

    The Big Boy, steam locomotive...

    When schedule permits, I love going to the rail museum when I am near York in England, they have a few of the record breakers over the years, the Mallard, the Hamilton Express, etc. Its so crazy when you see how small the "displacement" of the steam engine is. Keep in mind you get power...

    P66 LAR to cease operations 2025

    Storage is a shit ton of money. The trading game around moving crude and products around the world is all small margins, but huge profits because of volume. When things get funny, such as finished product not flowing out the other side at same rate as its coming in, and keep in mind this is a...
