Texoma BS

Wow, very technical approach to it. So the guys relaxed and kaboom? How do they shut it off?

The HORIZON looses to mother nature and see's the bottom of the Gulf 5000' below surface. The sinking of the Deepwater Horizon could release more than 1,135,600 litres of crude oil a day into the water. The environmental hazards would be greatest if the spill were to reach the Louisiana coast, about 50 miles. All 11 missing crew members are asumed to have died. Family members started legal action in New Orleans yesterday accusing Transocean of negligence. Transocean and BP were not immediately available for comment.

Hawk, I kinda agree. But, were on the final stretch. I m gonna try and get all the grounds tied down and I m gonna tie that hot into the dist. block. That should fix it.



We took out Hawk's 40 Hawk on Friday. Matt idled around in severe crosswinds on Sat. with the BT and loaded it. :eek: I pussed out. Huge crowd watching and he did it 1st time no problems. My hats off to TxHawk. :cheers2:

Sunday we took the BT out for a short jaunt just to check everything out.
 
Sounds like you guys did a good job hats off to you! Buttoning up the Velocity for a quick sale.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Couldn't be any simpler than that.

Who ever that proffesor is,,,he has my vote !!!!!! :cheers2:
 
Good job on the BT guys. Sorry I couldn't be there to lend a hand.

I was feeling for them but just couldn't reach them from where i was at. Tonight wine tasting night at the Marriott where I been staying all week. You know some people just don't know how to drink wine...They smell it, twirl it around in the glass, smell it some more, Hell I even seen people swish it around in their mouth and spit it out in a bucket. The way to drink wine is set the jug on your bent arm and turn that SUNBICH up. Stop when the jug runs out...if you puke in the bucket that's fine.
