What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[Jhbryaniv]

I see it nearly happened too, with the side blowing out of an almost new plane over there.

That's where the conversation started...

My ranger is still sitting in the carport - dirty, it'll probably be approximately 6-8 weeks before I can drive it, let alone wash and polish it. On the bright side it appears that my knee surgery last week has been successful with a likely good outcome. My kind next door neighbor just cut my front yard for me as the ongoing storms and 35 deg C days have it growing almost fast enough to see, I could hardly see the cat running around! Hopefully he will drop over later and I can have a beer with him. I need to get up and move around, my wife has been looking after me really well, but as a nurse she sits somewhere between Kathy Bates in Misery, and nurse Ratched. I'm completely in her power and she is loving it.

Get that knee working so you can get your dignity(power) back.

Glad to hear the surgery was successful.

Went to the PA Farm Show yesterday and it started snowing early. Til I left in the afternoon it was getting pretty slick, I had Pepper in 4H all the way home. 97 miles, took me an hour and a half to get there, but two and a half to get home (in time to see the Steelers beat those ugly Raiders?) 6 " in the driveway when I got home and 10" this morning...Pepper did great!?

Steelers didn't play the Raiders yesterday. Played the Ravens....and won.

Sounds like you had a fun day. Good deal!

if they figure out how to fall with a bfg ko2 they will be fine...
this clip really made me want the tires. i mean i dont want to drive out of a c130 in flight but what the hell, tires are under warranty

Not that it matters in the grand scheme but it is a Short SC.7 Skyvan, not a Hercules.

I wonder how much effect the rim actually has in the tire surviving - does the rim flex, how did the tire hit the ground, how much air was in the tires, what material were the rims.... The questions go on and on. I'm rather disappointed in the comment section of this video for not going crazy on these questions.

The internet has disappointed me this morning.

The internet disappoints me most mornings - they should have dropped the Jeep from the plane.

That door landed 4 miles from where I live and I usually fly Alaska Airlines. Well maybe not now.

It's fine. What's the likely hood that it occurs in another Alaska air flight, and that flight happens to be the one you are on.

It's actually a higher likely hood it occurs in a different airline you are flying...

You're welcome.

I think Mark is worried that “Fletch” is responsible and he’s still working there.
