  1. not according to the googles “Masters of the Air” is set to release its first two episodes on Jan. 26, 2024, with new episodes dropping each Friday until the season finale on March 15.
  2. oh damned, that's gonna be good. I hope they start with training, almost a third of the deaths were NOT in combat. My great uncle died in Montana in a training accident one week prior to deploying to England. Those deaths were covered up to hide from our enemies that we were having real problems with our bombers fleets. Dangerous to even take off and form up. Spielberg should have plenty of dramatic scenes for us. One of my favorite photos... So much going on
  3. Kona sells a 24" bike. Are you looking for new for Xmas? If not, I have one sitting in the garage that needs some TLC (Kona Shred 2-4). It has scratches and some stickers are ripped, but everything works, just needs a tune up. That said, new grips and tires always make a bike feel good. I've been procrastinating cleaning out the garage and it's gotta go. I don't know what shipping would be on it, but the Surly price is $100 w/o shipping. I can post some pics if interested. Pic below is a stock photo
  4. I just went looking, according to THT it was a 7-8ft day. No anchor out as it came into the beach according to eye witness. Most popular reply "What's that big metal thing on the front of the bow for?"
  5. Well, 20+ years ago when I got my 6pack & tow endorsement I already had 25 years of boating experience. Small sail boats to 45' powerboats and everything in between. Never owned a boat that size, but the LOA isn't the issue. Clearly they got an anchor out whether they drug it ashore or panicked in the breakers and dropped it (more likely). I also know that area well. There are several reefs the furthest out being ~120' on the deep side. Heavy surf would crumble on the 2nd reef and wouldn't break until 1st reef. It's runs from ~90 on the back side to ~35 ish at front of the 1st reef. It would have been much calmer there, It's sand bottom but with enough scope they should have held. Unless they were running after a cold front and we haven't had a strong one yet, the surf there is going to be < 10'. Hell they would have snagged the 1st reef on the way in. They had time to get hooked up. Also this was Delray beach not the Horn of Africa one call to Seatow or BoatUS and I would expect the response time to be <30 mins. Those boys sit in the inlets waiting. But I wasn't there, I don't know the sea conditions, I don't know what equipment they did have at their disposal. But for damned sure they should have had more than 1 anchor and the ability to use it with out power or a cell phone! https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/florida/delray-beach-icww-fl/map/ If it was rough out that makes it worse imho, If I'm running a boat in sporty conditions I'm keeping my distance from land. Maybe they were picking their way through an inlet and shit went sideways at the worst possible time IDK
  6. Did fire suppression kill the anchor too? Because if you're not taking on water and you are adrift and nearing (lets say within 1/4 mile) the shore, you drop anchor and wait for Boat US/Sea Tow. Like I said, that boat doesn't hit the beach intact with anyone competent at the helm.

    what thread did I wander into? fuckin' A
  8. Those boats are bad ass. I was talking more about ships bombarding land fortifications. The thinking was the ships could never stand up to land based artillery. Us battleships in the Pacific proved that wrong time and time again.
  9. Yeah actually that's my bad. I just interpreted your post to mean there's no serious damage and he'll be heading back out to Abaco in a week. That boat is going to be in the yard for a bit. I do wonder about the insurance though, it's negligence that boat ended up on the beach. Did the Capt or owner say how it happened? Because my guess is that someone set the auto pilot coming back from the Bahamas and fell asleep or was otherwise distracted. No way that boat ends up on the beach with someone competent and/or paying attention.
  10. a little off topic, I saw a documentry that had a fleeting line in it about US tactics in ww2. IIRC it was a British historian talking about war doctrine and how the Europeans (by tradition or naivete) thought you couldn't assault land based fortifications from ships. He then proceeds to state that US did just exactly that thing to great effect in the Pacific and the British navy types were stunned. It might have been in this one somewhere. Worth a watch if your into Pacific ww2 stuff
  11. Yes, I know how math works. You did see the > sign right? My point was that was NOT a soft grounding. She's sitting on her running gear. The damage is likely to be much more extensive than it looks.
  12. That's wildly optimistic. Bent shafts, rudder damage, paint, etc... it looks like she's been rolling around in the surf a little bit. I'd go with >$150k not counting the tow/hard ungrounding and perhaps fees from FWC.
  13. ? It's got 6 items not counting the seasonings and one of those is department store sauce.
  14. The blank spots were wher the pepperoni should have gone. But, I sliced up the mushrooms, cleaned the knife and cutting board, opened the Tupperware holding the leftover pepperonis and they had gone bad. So just cheese and mushroom. I wasn't going to get them dirty for 2 more mushrooms, but your criticism is valid. The baguette is from a local little french patisserie, great olive oil, good full fat low moisture had shredded mozzarella, and homemade sautéed mushrooms in garlic and herbs. Flavor is not the problem. PS if you have good pizza dough, its actually faster to make a full pizza and less fiddley. But I'm not sure there's a better use for stale baguettes you didn't finish.
  15. nope, if you put the sauce on a little think it softens the baguette up more than you think. I'm not saying you won't lose any skin on the roof of your mouth, but if you do, you deserve it for eating it with an oven mit.
  16. x post from Random thoughts thread tl/dr stale baguettes are not a problem, they're an opportunity Take the day old stale baguette and cut it in half between the top and bottom (like you're going to make a sub) Brush with olive oil and season with italian seasoning Bake on 400 for ~ 10 mins spoon on pasta sauce optional - shake on good quality pepper flakes (Flat iron pepper co FTMFW) "sprinkle" with mozarella top with sliced sautéed mushrooms & Peperoni Bake for another 10 mins with convection til cheese is melted and it looks fucking delicious fin
