Nicely done

I keep getting these pop-up ads from some woman named Ashley Madison. She’s telling me that my life is too short.
Does she know something that I don’t?
Should I be worried?

My ads are for clothes, they are related to my searching so if your internet activity isn't along the lines of Ms M and your other half uses your device then yes hunny, PANIC!!!!

I think you should take advantage of her concern for your well-being.

In my flatbedding days(trucking), I did a delivery to Cape Canaveral right out to the active launch pad. I did have an escort and, after removing the chains and straps, was encouraged to stay in the truck.(I did)

You took a hooker to the launch pad in chains??

Does it sound as great as it looks?

"Layout" is the correct term for one's model RR empire, however large or small. One of the channels on the local cable system runs a show called "Steel Wheels" which features mostly UK train shows and display(operating)layouts. British Rail(if that's the right name) equipment looks really odd to us, esp. steam engines. Over here, most of the piping, etc., is on the outside of the boiler, making it look very "busy", while UK steam looks sorta "naked" with "the works" concealed.

One of my fondest memories is a day spent at the Nat’l Railway Museum in York. The Mallard steam engine was there. What an amazing piece of machinery.

Not That kinda escort. The kind with M16s and no sense of humor.

The Air Force can be picky like that. Vandenberg boy here....

Sounds like that could be the start of an interesting evening.

The pimp??

Actually some large steel pieces for the exhaust ducting to direct smoke and such off to one side. But the pimp would've been interesting-and difficult to explain.<EDIT> I almost put "hard to explain", but I didn't wanna overwork the "AHEM" button

Seriously and we'll leave your personal life out of it What was on the pad, was it the shuttle?

Nothing on the pad at that time, but it Was the one being readied for the next launch(1984?+/-)

I’ll probably wind up being the one chained to the launch pad.

Possibly the shuttle then, the Challenger was lost just after that if my memory serves

Some thoughts on the new bird I'm building for myself, it will probably be having a Satinwood fretboard (think ancient maple with aged nitro for colour). I want a transparent red finish on the front but I've been thinking maybe I could veneer the fronts of the body in some fort of quilted Maple then rather than bind them I could blend them into the rounding over then do a candy apple over the sides and maybe the back but over gold not silver do it's a sort of candy apple burst. How does that sound? I'm actually having a lot of difficulty visualising it, I can usually see these things clearly

I'm not really pickin' up what yer layin' down. Are you talking about a trans red to Candy Apple "burst"?
