Soup and Sandwich

Smoked chopped brisket in BBQ sauce in a hollowed out Italian roll
with a side of ham and bean stu.

2023 is very good vintage of ham and bean stew. And the 6.5
month-old smoked brisket was good as new.

Me too, on the beans but is that mayo on the sandwich?

[Sqwertz]

Yes. I put mayo on my sloppy joes, too. It gives a richer taste
and better texture to sandwiches containing a tomato-sauced
filling. It also serves as a moisture barrier so the gloopy tomato
sauces don't soak into the bread and make it all mushy.

I figured you'd have a problem with that, but it's not one that I
share with you.

Ham and beans is a man's stew/soup. It ain't no sissy chicken
noodle or minestrone - Pbbbbt!

My husband won't touch beans. However, he's man enough to do this
in the open door of a helicopter, in a variety of locations from
Hawaii to Stonehenge:

Canned pork n'beaks are just OK, but there are lots of good beans... odd

I think it's more about the texture than the taste. I have a middling
relationship with beans myself. They're mostly too mealy to enjoy.
That's why I favor garbanzos (which are fairly firm), lentils, and
small white beans hidden in a vegetable soup.

You'd mount it on the bottom of a helicopter and use servo motors
to aim it, as they've been doing for 50 years. Manually hanging
out of a helicopter with a camera at 1/2 mile seems a little ...
stupid.

But if you're tethered down, I don't see a problem.

Research. It required constant fiddling. Plus, the camera was about

I don't think a lot of people are so afraid of heights

...they're mostly afraid of falling.

[Dave Smith]

That's true. Some people are absolutely terrified of heights. I am
careful when I am up high, but I still like it. I always like climbing
trees and being on high buildings, looking down from hills and love
flying. I have worked on major bridges and loved standing on the edge
looking down. I know people who are petrified at the thought of flying
or even going over bridges. I never really understood that.

I remember well, 100 years ago, my very first day of painting for a
living (July 1973). It was a construction site building many
apartments/condos all at one time.

As I drove in, I noticed that some buildings were 3 stories high and
immediately thought, "Boy, I feel sorry for whoever (whomever?) has to
paint that high."

Well, I was the "new guy" and guess who immediately took over the high
work? 40-foot ladder stuff. Very scary at first but no big deal after a
couple of weeks.

sometimes i wonder how i managed to stay alive. mid 1980s, my early 20s,
my best friend cut down some gigantic maple trees around his house.
wanted to do it himself. said if i helped i could help myself to as much
of the wood as i wanted. i had been wanting a chainsaw for a while so i
bought one.

we proceeded to start taking the trees down limb by limb. having never
used a chainsaw before i stayed on the ground and cut up limbs for about
hour to get the hang of it. once i was confident i didn't think twice
about climbing up the 40 foot ladder to three rungs from the top and
start taking down limbs. i had a few hair sizzling moments but came out
of it unscathed.

my buddy didn't fare so well. he was standing in the crotch of a tree
working on cutting one of the main limbs and half way through the cut it
split and came straight down at him standing in the crotch. he couldn't
bail out fast enough and broke his leg. hired a tree service to take
down the rest.

the hell with that lumberjack stuff. it's much safer working with machine
tools that can turn me into hamburger in the blink of an eye.

I have no problem going up about 25 to 28 feet with a 40' ladder. Not
fully extended it is solid as stairs. When extended and bouncy, nope,
not me.

Back in the 60s, just before uni, I had a job painting a 15th Century
house and the apex of the eaves was very, very high. These days I pay
someone to clean out my eaves troughs, some of which can be reached by a
tall stepladder.

Hard to say; I've never been in a helicopter. I might not mind it if
it's a similar adrenaline rush to a roller coaster. I don't have a
problem with heights, but I have a problem with airplanes. Helicopters
work very differently from airplanes.

LOL, I knew where that was going mid-way though the paragraph above. As
Ed said, the problem isn't height (for me), but a bouncy ladder. I
hated every minute of being near the top of a mostly-extended 40' ladder
when painting the eves on my project house last summer. I hated walking
on the scaffolding outriggers, walking on 2X12 super bouncy planks of
wood... I hated that a *whole* lot more.

I persevered and got it done, but that's not something that you get used
to or comfortable doing, when it's bouncing every time you inch along.
Adding salt to the wounds, the few hornet nests which I came across made
it a miracle that I didn't die (I don't do anything with a stinger). I
just freeze up and try not to run when I get too close and they start
flying out.

Yes. They are inherently unstable, whereas airplanes
are inherently stable. It is possible (without an
autopilot) to set a plane up for a slight climb
and then jump out. It will then climb in a wide circle.

A helicopter will be tumbling in a few seconds.

Are you saying you would feel more comfortable
in a helicopter vs. being in a plane?

[Michael Trew]

Likely so... as you know, my "fear" of airplanes (more like strong
dislike) is an "irrational" one. Too big, too much going on, I have no
control, etc... plus the usual too many people, waiting in the airport
and security measures, etc. A helicopter is smaller, with far fewer
people on board, and it moves more slowly.

[dsi1]

What you have is an irrational sense of security. Helicopters are a rather dangerous conveyance. It's an expensive, high-maintenance, machine made of thousands of parts trying to rip itself apart. We get a lot of helicopter crashes in Hawaii. My guess is that eVTOLs will replace helicopters pretty rapidly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lycIMh_b-mg

[Dave Smith]

My friend is a retired airline pilot with thousands of hours logged. He
has flown all kinds of single, twin and four engine propeller and jet
planes. He has no interest in helicopters. Early in his flying career he
witnessed helicopter crash. He watched it take off and it was only
about 30 feet off the ground when something happened and it fell to the
ground. No serious injuries, but it scared him away from helicopters.

When i was a kid one of our neighbours had a helicopter and he used to
take people up for short rides. It was back in the late 50s and he would
land and take off from the field behind out subdivision. $10 for a
short ride was a lot of money. He went on to operate a helicopter tour
business in Niagara Falls that is still going strong.

[Dave Smith]

Planes glide. I have been in a glider. You get towed up by plane or
cable, fly around for a while and then land. Helicopters can do
wonderful things, but if there is a problem with the motor or with the
rotor you're screwed.

It's considered a successful landing if no serious injuries.

The pilot was lucky; he had not yet built speed or
altitude to the point where he could autorotate.

[jmcquown]

Helicopters can move pretty darn quickly when they have to.

When I was a kid and Dad had been given orders, stationed in Bangkok, we
had to catch a flight from NYC La Guardia to San Fransciso. We missed
the flight. I don't remember why. Dad made a phone call and the
Marines sent a helicopter to fly us to JFK to get another flight to SF.
It was *very* cool looking out the windows of a helicopter flying over
NYC going from one airport to the other. :)

Jill

[jmcquown]

All of this Helicopter discussion reminded me of the death of actor Vic
Morrow and two children during the making of 'Twilight Zone: Movie'.
Basically decapitated by the rotor blades:

"The low-flying helicopter spun out of control. At the same time, Morrow
dropped Chen into the water. He was reaching out to grab her when the
helicopter fell on top of him and the two children. Morrow and Le were
decapitated by the helicopter's main rotor blades, while Chen was
crushed to death by the helicopter's right landing skid; all three died
almost instantly"

I do cringe any time I see movies or TV shows where the roters are still
spinning.

Not the sort of experience one forgets!

Many years ago, I had to get from Edinburgh, Scotland, to NJ for a
family emergency - my mother was in hospital, and they wouldn't send her
home unless she had someone there to nurse her full time, so my Dad
arranged a series of five flights, which ended with a uniformed woman
meeting me at JFK, and escorting me to a helicopter to get me to Newark,
where Dad met me and took me to see my mother. The copter flew amazingly
low over NYC - it flew _between_ the skyscrapers!

I got to see what the Chrysler building looked like up close...

I don't think either one has any female organs.

I'd bet *YOU* are more likely.

At least he stopped fantasizing about
'someone' raping and killing you.

Did you ever get around to reporting
him to the FBI cyber-crime unit?

Were you using the glider to distribute trash over your enemy's
property?

Very logical. I bet it worked great!

[Mike Duffy]

It might take a few weeks, there's a lot
of hate criminals on the Internet.

Bryan is really smart. He says he himself
would enjoy it if JK were dead. Not murdered.

But GM has asked the world at large if there
is anyone else deranged enough to have the same
fantasies of Jill being raped and murdered.

After an FBI Kook Department shrink speaks to
Greg and explains things in legalese, Greg will
stop saying mean things on the Internet.

Then you will only have Bryan's deranged fantasies
about you to deal with, but luckily for you,
they seem to be more about Gary lately.

[GM]

Jill should change her name to "Karen":

"What is a Karen?

A "Karen" is a woman who acts entitled, expects certain privileges or special treatment, and gets angered easily...

The term is often used to criticize the behavior of self-absorbed white, affluent, and middle-aged women, but may also be applied to anybody being "extra", or acting demanding and overly dramatic..."

Jill, being a "Karen", hates blacks, so since I'm black "it figures", Mike....

"Karen is a slang term used as an antagonistic female character in memes. "Karen" is generally characterized as an irritating, entitled woman, sometimes as an ex-wife who took custody of "the kids."...

In 2020, the term was broadly applied to a swath of white women who had been filmed harassing people of color, including dialing the emergency services on them for no criminal reason..."

Just kidding, right?
FBI has to screen out many crybaby complaints.

[Bryan Simmons]

John Kuthe's sister is named Karen. Yep, Karen Carr,
of 623 Pinellas Drive, in Crestwood, Missouri.
According to John, she is "a real bitch." I mean, come
on, her brother is obviously mentally ill, and she won't
give him money. I guess she's like John's ex-wife, a
"silly stupid selfish bitch." I bet she wouldn't let her
baby brother fuck her in the ass either. How selfish!

Which brought to mind when I was a kid. I have no memory of applying for
the job, but I must have. About twenty young men were taken to the top
of a nine-thousand foot mountain and instructed to paint several radio
towers. Another guy and I were given a couple of buckets of silver paint
and told to paint one tower from the top-down. So, we did.
I don't recall any safety equipment, but this would be around 1964. The
tower portion we painted was probably no more than sixty feet high. The
tower itself was the ladder and a angle-iron structure.
At the end of the day, everything was done and we went home. The job was
a one-day deal. The guy I paired with later became the sheriff of
Carson City, and I became me.

Stepladders make me uncomfortable now, and I'm younger than you.
So it goes. :)

[Ed Pawlowski]

I should clarify. that was in my past life. Should have said "had" My
limit now is two steps on a step ladder. Month ago I had a little job
that was higher so I paid someone to do it.

i learned the hard way on too many construction sites.
always look out for yourself and never take anyone else's
word for your own safety.

almost all of my major injuries at work were caused by
other people doing stupid things and even after they were
told it was a problem they persisted.

glad i got out of the contruction trade - we were not
compatible...

is that good or bad? :)

one building i worked on went up at least seven stories,
which isn't much for people who live in tall buildings or
work on them, but for me i don't spend much time in the
upper realms. gardens and worms on the ground are more
my thing.

one day delivering materials they had an external
elevator with nothing around it, just a pallet that
went up and down. i was up on the 7th floor balcony
pulling things off and went just a little off
balance and that was enough for me. the rest of
the day i moved things up the stairs two boxes at a
time. there was no railing on that balcony, there
wasn't anything to tie off to or to hold on. nada.
i don't know how many OSHA violations that would be
today, but people didn't care as much back then. i
guess...

Ha, OSHA. I've looked at OSHA violations on YouTube. Incredible.
