I think I'll swing by Burger King for lunch today. I've got a $3 credit to use up.

I just had rice krispies from the vending machine and water for breakfast. So satisfying.

You having a slow day at the dealership, G?

I just gave a plant tour for some high school guidance counselors. Then had chinese food for lunch.

Gotta love VS, such a veritable treasure trove of information.

Does anyone know how long does a ring of frozen cocktail shrimps last if I keep them in the freezer?

I know, I feel the love here.

No spitting!

Make sure you check with Grant, he can get you discounts.

I just mailed my federal and state returns at lunchtime.

Actually I'll be flying to Singapore next Sat and returning at the end of Feb. Visiting parents and relatives for Chinese New Year. I'm looking forward to that. I've got friends from Miami visiting this weekend. I'm action-packed.

Yeah, I had predicted that already because I knew the conveyor system would not react quick enough to keep the plane motionless. So the experiment didn't really prove anything. So what else is going on, Adam?

Shouldn't it be the W2 from the employer? I think they have to postmarked by tomorrow, so you should be getting it soon.

I finished preparing my federal and state taxes. Will mail them tomorrow...woohoo...

Let's assume a spherical chicken.... My take on this. The plane won't fly,... in theory. If you examine the forces required for flight, you only have two options, either 1. Lift from the wings 2. Vertical component of thrust from the engine. Examining item #1 and #2. 1. Lift can only be generated by airflow over the wings...period. On a windless day, if this plane remains completely motionless (assuming the conveyor system can react instantaneously to compensate for any forward motion from the engines), there will be no lift generated by the wings. 2. If the engine's thrust is directed completely horizontally, there will be no vertical component of this thrust to provide lift. Given these initial conditions, this plane will never lift off. But in reality, the engines' thrust is not 100% horizontal w.r.t. the ground. The nozzles are also capable of thrust vectoring. So if anything, this aircraft might do a aviation version of an 'endo' on the conveyor system...

If Chuck Norris were piloting that plane it would both, fly and not fly.

Back on topic. I bought a pumpkin pie today because after carving one last night, I wanted to eat one. I bought an apple pie too.

My cannondale

That is a shame. :(

On the highway, I drive exactly at the speed limit and drive on the slow lane! LOL I love cruise control.

Chuck, please don't leave me....I'm skuurd.....

Sure, but I wouldn't know what to do with that..... :lol:

Roger that, Ramjet. :P

Thanks Chuckster! :)
