  1. This is why I love my kids school. They don’t let you get out of the car. You drop the kid off at the door and they walk them in. Doesn’t matter if it’s the first or last day of school. You have to get any pictures at home before you drop them off.
  2. I thought that said “Lumber Tard”. I figured you were in the right place!
  3. Did she order you a sausage BOB instead of a biscuit? Put some spicy ketchup on it and it’s ready to eat.
  4. Why don’t you do a $1000 bar tab for the east Texas surly folks. You could give us a demo of some products and use it as a tax write off. [emoji16]
  5. On a Saturday? I’m impressed they were open past noon.
  6. It looks like the only catch is it’s Hulu w/ads. Apparently they have no plans to offer the ad free version as part of the bundle pricing.
  7. You could stop in Longview at Bodacious on Mobberly. If you don’t mind a slight detour, Riverport BBQ in Jefferson is damn good. In Shreveport you have Superior Grill for Tex Mex. Strawn’s Eat Shop for the lunch special and pie. Don’t forget the pie. Did I mention the pie?
  8. Where do you live that you can sit on the back porch right now and not get carried away by mosquitos? I saw them fuckers carry a squirrel off yesterday.
  9. I just finished The Chef Show. Really enjoyed it and thought it was really well done. The last two episodes of the series were done with Aaron Franklin, which were pretty interesting. I never saw the movie, so I’m going to go back and watch it.
  10. Charlie fucked up several tosses of a coin. Imagine how fucked up it would have been if real money was involved.
  11. If you see a ugly dude who out wayyy kicked his coverage, that’s Stanco. Kick him in the ass.
  12. This dude tagged “TomTheHerman” in his tweet.
  13. My pharmacist wife said you shouldn’t exceed 500mg 2x/day.
  14. You’re in the happiest place on earth, shouldn’t you be fucking happy?
  15. 2 weeks / 2 months, it’s all the same.
  16. You live in our neighborhood too? 😁
  17. I forgot about Dudley’s. Damn it’s been a long time.
  18. No shit, he should’ve gone to Jucy’s or Butcher Shop.
  19. Serves you right for passing by Riverport BBQ in Jefferson and not getting a rack of ribs to go.
  20. Can’t wait until they find out you watched this on Netflix.
  21. Did you tell her to bring her own chair?
  22. From google: Multi engine aircraft usually have their engines off to either side of the fuselage. This means that if one engine fails, the other engine will produce what's called asymmetric thrust (one engine is stronger than the other). This in turn, because it's off to the side of the aircraft will cause it to yaw in the direction of the dead engine. Should the dead engine also have its prop windmilling, it'll cause more drag than if the prop blades were turned parallel to the wind and thus aggravate the situation by not only not producing thrust but actually acting as a speed brake. To counteract this and continue flying straight you'd have to apply the aircraft's rudder. The rudder is an airfoil sticking out into the wind in order to yaw the aircraft, thus if the amount of air flowing over it is reduced, the effectiveness of the rudder is reduced. This has the effect that there's a minimum airspeed (i.e. minimum amount of airflow over the rudder) that's enough to allow the rudder to counteract the asymmetric thrust as well as some other properties like engine torque. This speed is called 𝑣𝑚𝑐 v m c , or minimum controllable airspeed (there are actually two of these, one airborne and one on the ground). If speed drops below this airspeed, the plane will start to increase the yaw away from the live engine, to the point where eventually the outer wing produces more lift than the inner wing and the aircraft rolls over. That's the 𝑣𝑚𝑐 v m c roll. Avoiding it is a matter of keeping the airspeed up to maintain rudder authority, and/or reducing thrust to the live engine while regaining airspeed. Further steps, like identifying the failed engine and feathering its prop, as well as flying with a slight bank towards the live engine should be undertaken as well as part of the recovery. Furthermore it's advisable to never turn into the dead engine, as the live engine will make it harder to stop the turn. Turning into the live engine will make it harder to start the turn, but the engine will help you get out of it. Since the engines usually spin in the same direction, the effect of torque differs, the torque of one engine aggravates the situation, where the torque of the others alleviates it, thus 𝑣𝑚𝑐 v m c is specified as the minimum controllable speed if the latter (known as the critical engine) fails and the prop continues to windmill, i.e. the worst possible aerodynamic scenario in the case of a single engine failure barring an uncontained failure causing damage or otherwise changing the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft.
  23. Also, what did you eat 2-3 hours later?
