Lobster boats lining the wharf of a typical fishing village on Prince Edward Island. If you’ve ever eaten Malpeque Oysters, they come from this bay and can only be harvested by hand. The lobster boats usually come in before noon and if you know someone, you can have the freshest lobster lunch ever. Luckily, I know someone.

Colour-blind guy here. To me, that nozzle looks the same as a diesel nozzle. Good thing I don’t have a flex fuel or diesel vehicle - I’d mess it up for sure.??‍♂

I could see how that would be problematic ha. Not sure about anywhere else, but here with most stations, gas is black, ethanol is yellow, and diesel is green. The app calculator I have makes it real easy to calculate gallons needed of ethanol and gas, but it's weird to be paying attention to gallons and not price ha. I'm used to just filling the tank with 93 and looking at the price, not the gallons. Two separate transactions at the same pump kinda sucks too, but worth it.

Hi Folks,

I got a personal tour of the Davis Monthan famous boneyard. This was a one on tour in my little 2007 Ford Ranger by the former commanding officer of the boneyard, Col. Don R. (retired). This is something that the general public cannot do and has no access to see, much less photograph. There is a bus tour from the Pima Air and Space Museum, but you only see tiny bit of the boneyard. I got to walk around the planes and up into the big C5As. Watched a B52 being destroyed for the Russian agreement to limit the 52s. They use a huge blade to break the planes spine, then leave it for a few days for the Russian Spy satelite to verify... Quite a day for me to sit in the cockpit of an F16 as well! Took most of the day to tour. Scary was the tankers that sprayed Agent Orange in Vietnam. These planes are off limit to everyone but mechanical robuts...they are to be burried in a huge clay lined pit...not sure about this but this is the plan approved by the county...

Here are a few of the pictures.

Cool pics Phil! I flew three C141Bs on their last flight to the "boneyard" in the 90s. One of the DM supervisors drove us around for a tour that last time I was there. Got to watch the "guillotine" take the wings off a C141B...sad to see. Only had a 35mm camera at the time, so no digital pics to share.
