Ahhhhhh!

No where.. @Socrates lol

@Notsoperfect Hi pal ! Yeah...I'm really draggin' tonite. Not stayin' in long myself.

Good to see you @Steven Martin

Good to see you @Groot @Socrates @kreskin1

@KLATU tired?

Shoes off, stretchin out....and sipping some ☕

Nice

Not feeling well @KLATU ?

Stiletos are not shoes they are art in motion👍

@kreskin1 was just filling myself and the Klat in on everything we missed today.

@Notsoperfect Yeah...that too. You know me TOO well.... LOL

I thought @KLATU and I have been through this b4 with you @Notsoperfect

What did I miss today beside the FBI raid ?

LOL That's what WE say !!!

@KLATU "Getting to know you.. .Getting to know more about you.. "

😮

@Groot what about the heels?

Rule change for Illegals attempting to collect Food Stamps and Welfare will be much harder to get now.

Ah yeah I did see that

That was news today

I think they linked Muh Russia to Epstein, who was linked to Comey, who was linked to Shifty, who was linked to Clintons. LOLOL

So ridiculous.. isn't it? @Socrates

What was the change to food stamps..POTUS has taken it fro 45M duing Obummer to just over 34M today

I saw that Fredo was having a melt down as well.

Oh yes....Fredo was so funny

I heard about that. Perfect reference. Meaning.....

@Notsoperfect And also, more MSM confusion. A buncha farmers are backing Trump...A buncha farmers are mad at Trump...it never ends !!

Gang, I've got to get a real news feed bag on, so in the dark today. Exiting stage left, directly. Then hitting the hay. Peace, Patriots.

Fredo loves to call people names.....but when it was turned on him....he lost his mind.

Ah.. the opposing polls @KLATU

@Steven Martin OK pal ! Nite Nite

GN @Steven Martin catch u later

Take care @Steven Martin . We’ll chat again soon.

Nite @Steven Martin

@Steven Martin Night .. good to see you for 3.5 minutes 😃

Gn

Quiet down.. please.

Shhhhhh

Be berry berry quiet....

LOL Yeah...One atta time !!

It's just too much all the talking.. very stressful

Anyone else exhausted?

ME !!

Yeah been that way lately @Socrates

Life is crazy right now.....so busy.....

But I love chatting with you fools.....errrr....friends

😂

Anyone have Netflix?

No

well..

you should ask does anyone want to admit to it

If you do, check out The Family

ok

VERY interesting

I'll check it out

My son has it.

Great documentary about the "family" they 'join" to be an Elite

The access they have, etc.

Nah, not me. I even sold all the stock. Terrible technicals. Not to mention paying Hussein & Big Mike.

ah that would be very interesting

It's also a book

I agree @kreskin1 it's how they get you.. entertainment at your fingertips

It covers a lot information, such as the Annual Prayer Breakfast

@KLATU drink some hot tea.. and lots of water. No fever?

There was a little ditty today about Kubrick and Eyes Wide Shut. Got me interested in seeing his last effort prior to his untimely death.

@kreskin1 Isn't Susan Rice a honcho now at Netflix ??

Eyes Wide.. shut.. that is something if I watched it again..I would close my eyes

Yep, her too. She’s on the BofD

OK yeah...

Another cabal payoff method.

Just like the book deals.

I figure that the more they make, the more we can confiscate via Excutive Order

😃

Everyone's a writer and everyone's a producer now.

@kreskin1 The whole world is infested with Deep State

Sadly.

If they are tied into trafficking....their assets are ???? LOL

Blackout time!

We need more money for the Space Program.... 😃

Just sayin

NASA is an interesting entity. I’ve found pockets of brilliance within a government bureaucracy.

NASA is a perfect "front"

@kreskin1 Imagine those guys back in the day ??? 1969 ? Sliderules ?? LOL

And they went to the Moon

😂

Can you imagine those engineers NOW...with the tech we have NOW ?? WOW

Amazing, just amazing. They were actually pilots, not just scientists going for a ride like now. I’d be surprised if they had much if any control now.

@kreskin1 Exactly...they've made it SO easy now with high tech.

Learned a lot over time. Incorporation of continuous improvement and lessons learned from anomalies and testing has gotten us there.

@kreskin1 Just think...years ago, SO many great pilots washed-out of Astronaut training....Now ? Anyone can go into space if they have enough money.

My college dorm roommate wanted to be an astronaut. Ended up flying warthogs and flight instruction until his retirement.

COOL ! A-10's rock !!!

He was totally the warthog type. Single seater, strap yourself in!

LOL

BRRRRRT,

LOLOLOLOL

Awesome....

And you ask ANY soldier on the ground, and they'll tell ya that they NEVER want them retired !!

He finished up at Nellis instructing NATO pilots from Europe.

Nice

Nellis....not far from me.....

Now teaches HS science. I couldn’t think of anyone better to do it.

Students love him.

LOL @Socrates You not far from 51 then either !!

I know nuttin

lol

I'll catch you all tomorrow. Behave.

Except if they show up to raid 51.....I'm going to make money off them fools

OK Pal ! @Notsoperfect nite nite

They will need cigarettes and toilet paper

Take care @Notsoperfect . And don’t forget your shoes.

Nite @Notsoperfect !

@KLATU take care of yourself.. get some rest.

@kreskin1 thanks for the reminder 👠

Night night @Socrates

Nite friend

👋

😉

gn @Notsoperfect

I think I'm going to head out as well......

Pretty tired.....

Nite all!!!!

On that note...I think I'm turnin' in too ! Nite Nite gang !!

LOL

Nite @KLATU @Groot

Gnite @Socrates

Nite @kreskin1

You too @Groot

no I'm here...head cloudy though

Gnite @KLATU

😉

gn @KLATU

😉

There were too many going at once. I’m not sure who’s still here.
Rollcall?

@kreskin1 u were talking about NASA

u & me @kreskin1

Yes. Pockets of brilliance.

SpaceX was a big stink hole transfer of tech and $

They’re in it for the money. They tend to work the employees hard and not pay as well as others.

Musk doesn’t do anything without a government subsidy.

basically huge grants of $ from Gov with tech. transfer..no real limit on keeping sensitive stuff sensitive.

A philosophy they put forth was that you were there because you loved the space rocket thing. And would sacrifice time and $ to fulfill your dreams.

I never worked for them, but heard from others.

officially they are not grants or ocntracts...they are Other.

i worked outside of them, they were buying tech.

NASA didn’t care for them because NASA liked their normal oversight and Space X would invite them only for their mandatory inspections and meetings.

That was a good way for them to keep the costs low.

SpaceX invited whoever they wanted...didn't appear to be a lid on things unless mgmt had a bug for some reason.

I couldn't figure out any rules they used with any consistency.

and they were immune for any liability.

The best thing they were able to do was bring back the cores for reuse.

All others that tried to devise recovery methods were really quite primitive.

What were the cores u refer to?

Engines & tanks.

the solid fuel cores?

👍

Space x doesn’t do solids, at least yet.

who made them UTC?

They’ve not used them at all that I’m aware of.

so liquid fuel still UTC. I used to liver near them, when they did test blasts at there company you could hear all over the valley.

I was involved in a proposal that was to be a solid to kick the payload way out, but couldn’t get the price right. They ignored needed requirements for success. I wasn’t into submitting numerous change orders to get the price back up to what we needed.

ECO's money makers..go in low ECO the sh** outta it.

CSD part of UTC was near Holloster. They did solids there. After the accidents, the contracts were split among the remaining players.

👍 that's right...I was in s. san jose

I ended up on THAAD after it was moved.

Raytheon👍

I liked the program and the employees that came over with it.

We sent them to Redstone where LM finished the integration.

After the 90's DoD industry consolidations Raytheon was on a buying spree

Raytheon is the big cat in defense armaments.

I working in Cruise Missile

That’s for sure.

then Predator

I know many who have hopped over to Raytheon.

All known quantities. Good companies.

Amazing talent.

never shortage of engineers around.

I kinda miss it, but it will never be like what I hired into again.

Scientist from UCB and Stanford didn't hurt that industry did it.

I gotta relish the great memories and experiences.

I would spend about 2wks/mo on DC, saw the same people different companies on the same flights and airports...it was a hoot.

Leave on monday catch the friday flight back do it again next week.

A good friend of mine did the same (going to DC). He was in business development.

I preferred the shop floor mfg and putting them together.

Playing with parts was fun.

I did a lot of sole source work for many years

Nice!

if you can get it yes...

Still working or did you pack it in?

Consult w/ emerging tech startups. word of mouth....been doing my own thing since 2000. but started consulting in '95.

You could say I packed it in.....I liked working w/ the scientist and engineers on interesting project to me.

Ah. I’ve been out for 2 years now. They wouldn’t lay me off, so I left to take care of a heart condition.

All better now and volunteer at the local PD.

Oh, I'm sorry about the heart thing, are u well?

I am now.

They redid the procedure and it worked.

I haven’t felt like this in years.

Wheew, I'm sure that was a scare. Local PD, we just had a new person in this morning retired PD.

Yeah, I needed something new and different. The local PD has always been quite helpful and understanding in my interactions. I’ve also got LE in the family.

Yeah getting my life in order to...I try to walk most days...lost my overage and feel much better...little nagging things seems to have disappeared.

Oathkeepers?

When they took me oof all my prescription meds, it really was noticeable.

I’m not real familiar with oathkeeepers. I’ve heard of them, but no details.

Pharma, I know. My sister was caregiver to my mom. When she got her she was on 12 meds....My sister got her off all but 2, did alternative homo treatment...I've picked up on it and feel so much better..

That really is the better way.

I’m probably going to jinx it but I’ve not been sick in nearly 2 years.

That’s an aberration based on my history.

My wife and her family are doing also, mother-in-law is in hospice at home since last Nov. Refuse Pharma and putting her care facility..we had her 97th bday this weekend. She's no longer in hospice care but bed-ridden now. Alert, when Dr's said she wouldn't survive the new year. Even my kids take days caring for her. It is a good sign.

That’s great!

Family care is best.

Funny u mention that.....from the party were are at 7 now who came down with what we believe is food posioning, myself, son and daughter....still counting... I've been in bed most of the day. the Writhing has subsided but I can't recall the last time I was sick either....

Can't really count food posioning n that sick category..

Nah, I wouldn’t.

I hear of a number of uncooked food recalls. Did you have baby spinach? That was the latest just announced.

So so much food it would take a detailed checklist to narrow it down...I don't even know the names of some of the stuff I ate. 😂 It was really good tho...always is.

simple aberration

Oh that’s right. I caught a brief list you mentioned yesterday.

right, phiippino food ..."not" was raised in the philippines so she knows all the culture/food/language.

I took a picture of the roast pig head and sent it to some peeps on my side of the family...they get a kick out of it.

Yeah, she’s got some stories of growing up.

Whole roast pig is a real treat!

That girl has beeeeeeen places. Wonder if she's settled now?

She actually lived here in the bay area too.

The last time I went there I had a hard time remembering my way around.

Spent a lot of time there since the folks grew up there and moms relatives were all there.

Right, I don't travel near as much as I used to..when I go a city I've been in the past it is like visiting a new city. I took my daughter to Chicago last year....the only place I recognized was Wriggly field.👍

Same for me returning to SLO. Still nice, just different. Hated to leave, but couldn’t get the great job. Local employers snagged undergrads at cheap prices.

Gotta go on Thursday night for the street market.

My niece and nephew both graduated SLO I went to there graduation in the last couple of years.

John Madden went to SLO....

Too bad I can’t afford to return. There’s also quite a few libs there as well. When I went, lotsa cowboys & engineers. I suspect plenty of snowflakes now, but I could be wrong. My niece just graduated from there earlier this year.

Hoot Gibson and Ozzie Smith.

Her folks are conservative and she is also I suspect.

Gotta keep your head down in some environments.

I had to look up Hoot...the rodeo star?

Astronaut.

oops

Burt Rutan as well

Do they have and areonutics school?

Yes. Aeronautical and mechanical engineering were sister departments.

My roommate was Aero & I was ME.

I would blow a whistle for them for the wrestling team.....you know of Embry-Riddle in Prescott, AZ ?

I have a couple friend that went there...also blew a whistle on there team.
