Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

In reply to fasted58 :

I saw this guy driving into northern Michigan last friday!!

It's a sea anchor.   Keeps your nose pointed into waves because broadsides get you swamped.

Thanks Fasted, now I have a mission.

Pic above is blank for me, but it is at least framed.  The fasted58 pics don't even show that.

For Facebook pics, I usually save the image to my local drive and upload it here rather than linking.  Then I delete the local copy.

Pic related (I saved this from FB) - this must have been a helluva ride.  They started from 250 feet down at flank speed, and apparently achieved a 72-degree climb angle during the surfacing:

Before a Sub goes to sea, they fire a water slug.  Torpedo tube is filled with water and pushed out; this gets the torpedo away iin case the prop doesn't light off.

This is a colored water slug on an FBM missile silo.   1964.

Save the water slugs!!!!

A boat trailer and a Lear Jet fuselage.  Maybe a couple weekends with some friends to help.

Situational awareness is important.

That's Bear Grylls demonstrating this maxim. 

Congrats India! I watched the live stream of the landing. It was pretty suspenseful for a few minutes.

Co-worker used to tell the story of how he was out hunting with a friend, who stuck his face in the creek and pronounced it the tastiest water ever.  They walked 20 yards upstream and found a rotting dead cow carcass in the creek, prompting said friend to projectile vomit enthusiastically...

I think if I ever clear my plate a bit of my current projects and to-do list I would love to build a cyclecar. 

I wonder how hard it would be to make something similar to that vintage racing elgible?

The "pipeline inspection by small plane" industry is still alive and well.

A tool room replica Bugatti T59 would be eligible, but expensive, and probably commercially available, T35s are Pic below is probably not, but I did no research, see Petrolicious.

Edit; Closer exam says the chassis sure should, I am going to look at this more,
