Edmonds to Washington Pass . . . you drove past me. Some time you need to go over Deception Pass . . . from the south, of course. It's best to have someone who's been there before drive, as it can be . . . disconcerting. :twisted: --FreeFlier Neat bridge! I'd let someone else drive just so I could ...

What highway did you take East? If you took I-90, then at Cle Elum you were 2.5 hrs. away from me. Washington Pass on Hwy 20, so even closer. Didn't have time budget for even a stop for a howdy and hearty handshake as we were meeting up with a cousin of mine back in Edmonds that evening. It's entir...

You and I are wandering here alone it seems. Not completely, but activity is probably limited to lurking. I was up your way a couple weeks back, made it to Washington Pass before turning back to Seattle for the trip home. Was in WA and OR with travel buddy and checking out a little bit of the Casca...

I might guess that driving 90 miles in 1.5 hours during winter conditions would have the potential to get somewhat exciting? Or at least that's what this near-sea level denizen would surmise. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery so you can return to your regularly scheduled shenanigans. I had ...

I've been to Bryce Canyon. Took a lot of pictures with my phone. Got back to the RV and discovered that my phone-camera had somehow gotten set (or decided on its own) to use a blue filter. So in a setting known for its rich color, I effectively took a bunch of black-and-white photos. Been there, do...

The most recent event in my simple life was the arrival of a steam engine that was on a tour of middle America this year. The UPRR maintains this engine and tours it occasionally to the thrill of young and old. It’s quite a sight- the engine and primary tender are 132ft long and weigh in at around 1...

Later in the spring I went on an adventure with a college buddy to visit national parks and other sights in Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. We spent 18 days together and are still on speaking terms. Some of the highlights were Arches NP, Bryce Canyon NP, and Zion NP. If you have any thought of visiti...

Springtime in Galveston (seems to be a theme here...) is when the sailing ship Elissa has day sails where you are able to purchase a spot as a “trainee” and sail with the regular crew for about 6 hours out into the gulf of Mexico and back- the 147-year old ship isn’t allowed to take passengers on bo...

Howdy, y’all! It’s been a while since there’s been much action on the forum, so why not post some photos of things I’ve done this year. But before getting to that, hopefully everyone enjoyed Paul’s latest animation. I know I did, laughed out loud several times while watching. Now that he finished, i...

Not quite dead yet! Pablo is active-ish on Twitter and today remarked that he is working on his next animated short and it will star Monica. He has also stated that the comic will resume in early April. Meanwhile in Houston, bluebonnets and indian paintbrush are flowering along White Oak Bayou. They...

Lack of Frontal Support Device (FSD) leads to loss of definition (aka amount of lift/separation) and loss of projection due to sag/effects of gravity.

Late Mark Spitfire (you can tell B/c cannons in wing instead of MG) and Hurricane, must be a Battle of Britain flyover. I don't read Instagram. Oops. Meant to say Twitter instead of Instagram. And then there's Patreon, he also puts stuff there. The aircraft flew in the Wings Over Houston airshow th...

Pablo is still semi-active on instergramm, posts there occasionally. He's dropped hints that he's working on something that will potentially be revealed soon-ish, or at least that's what I read between the lines. He's not dropped a sketch on eee-beigh lately. Meanwhile, here're a couple of airplanes...

With an audible tongue clap and wink, ‘Toons pointed at LW and transitioned his hand to a thumbs-up. Sighing contentedly, he took another swig of his cappuccino and leaned back on his chair.

Softly in the background, music began to play…

“Home, home again. I like to be here when I can…”

Did someone say Bleriot XI? This one's a replica without the Anzani engine. Had I been patient, I would have taken more photos. There was a large gent standing up next to it and he wasn't interested in moving away for some reason. See more at pioneerflightmuseum.org They're having a fly-in day this ...

Charging up the stairs, H-toons cried out "WHEN WERE THESE INSTALLED?!?" Several minutes later he reappeared, tromping back into the room to first retrieve his cappuccino and then over to Al to give him a healthy "pat" on his back. "Thanks for the alert, I knew I shoulda lis...

I was happy to see this pop up, it has been very quiet since Pablo decided to take an extended break. I’ve been able to participate in this vignette, but only haphazardly the last few days since work, life, and my ladyfriend all compete for my time. There have been a good number of views on the cap/...

DWC turned and shook hoof and hand, "Rabbi, Sarge! Good to be here again, seems like it was just last week when we were here last. Time sure flies whether you're still a working stiff, retired, or between gigs." He turned to Opus and gave him a quick pat on the shoulder and a "Howdy, ...

The drone of an aircraft engine could be heard over the noise of the brewing coffee and general commotion going on in the room. A couple thumps were heard from the ceiling, followed by a slight shower of dust. The engine noise roared once and then coughed to a stop- something had apparently landed o...
