Honoring Mr. Mac

Hilary Clinton is a Lying Sack of Crap

I can't say sack of Sh!t but the waffling that goes on in the name of U-N-I-T-Y is a load of crap. Thats was self promotion for 2012. Oblahblahma won't win and she is positioning herself already. UNITY my ass. Thats what democrats do. Lie up a storm about what they are going to do and then blame everybody but themselves when it doesn't pan out. W and mcCain are about as far apart as any 2 Republicans. If you dumb dems think Oblahblahma is just going to end the war you are on crack. In all truth McCain will end it sooner. Health insurance for all huh? Yeah we'll see--just like Hilary did when she was president before. I also see that John Edwards was removed from speaking as he had an affair and lied about it. He was replaced by Bill Clinton? You go thinking about how morally correct you are. What's the definition of IS?

Want more proof of Hilary? Check out this photo I saw on TMZ. Having trouble making decisions?

Weekends Come and Go

It's Monday evening and I'm already thinking about the weekend. This past weekend was a blur. Frudoch did the Laura Stamm Powerskating Camp at Chiller Easton. He even managed to forget his shoulder pads on Sunday morning which gave me the opportunity to check out the ultra high speed aspects of the CLK500. Lets just say its glued to the road at 130 mph. I love this car. So last weekend was a blur and this one will be too. Only in another way. I'll be heading up to Cleveland for the Air Show. The blur will once again be of jets at mind numbing speeds. It will be my first opportunity to see the Blue Angels in person. The show will also feature the F-16 Viper demo and F-15C Strike Eagle Demo as well as F/A-18F Super Hornet demo. These jet teams are awesome. We saw Viper east last week at Lancaster and i've seen the F-15 and F/A-18 demos at Chicago and GML among other times. Add in the C-130 and of course the Blue Angels (with Fat Albert the C-130) along with a stellar static display and you have an awesome show. It will be a more than 2 hour drive, but I'll find my way up there and have a blast. Heres a few more pics from Lancaster found on the web.

Sweep The Leg Johnny

One of my favorite movies is the Karate Kid. Its grown into its own subculture on the internet. Did you ever wonder what would have happened if Danny Boy had lost in the All Valley Tournament? Well now there is a glimpse. This video was done by William Zabka. Yes thats Johnny. The band is No More Kings and the song is Sweep The Leg. Its available on itunes. The video is fantastic and has quite a few of the original KK actors. I only know of one missing-Larry B Scott. He went on to play Lamar in Revenge of The Nerds. So here it is. enjoy it.

Ohio State University Football Tickets For Sale OSU YSU Aug 30, 2008

I've got 2 to Youngstown State available. I'll be at an airshow. Face value is $124. Make me an offer. 39B

Never Mind.... I sold them on ebay today for $180. Not too bad for SS seats. Of course they sold in 15 minutes. Maybe I should have priced them higher.

One More

This was the Heritage Flight conssisting of an F-16 Viper and a P-51 Mustang. Its a sweet pic. This weekend will see hockey creeping back into the mix. Frudoch will take part in the Laura Stamm Powerskating school at Chiller Easton. Should be fun.

Even More Airshow Pics

I see that my hit meter went crazy yesterday. Visits from 40 different people and many many countries. Thats awesome and I gues that means you want more photos from the Lancaster Wings of Victory Airshow. Well here are a few. I did not take these or the 2 at the top of my last pst. Enjoy. I sure did.

More Airshow Pics

Here are a few pics from the Wings of Victory Airshow from Lancaster Ohio.

Space Shuttle via Air Canada

I found this video while surfing. Its an angle I've never seen of the space shuttle. The dude from Canada sounds like a stoner bud and his language is not kid friendly, but its still pretty cool. Check it out.

Lancaster Air Show

Sunday dawned with quite a headache, but a promise to the kids was made to go to the Historical Air Squadron show in Lancaster Ohio. So off we went. The show was pretty great for the size and was absolutely packed. Viper East showed up (early) and made tons of noise. I managed to catch a couple shots. The Mig-17 was pretty spectacular. I'll post more photos over the next few days. Heres one of the Scream'n Rebels. A group of T-6's. They were much easier to capture and I got several great shots. I'm a bit sunburned from this weekend, but thats a good thing with airshows. Next up Cleveland on Labor Day weekend.

Great Start to the Weekend

I took the kids to our local airport (KDLZ) here in Delaware. Only about 5 minutes away. They had their semi-annual airshow which consists mostly of the 35 or so airplanes at the field on display along with a few warbirds that flew in. The "star" of the show was the B-25 Mitchell bomber. It was on static display and then flew about 7 or 8 passes at low altitude and a fairly high speed. Here is a good shot I somehow managed to get. There were a couple T-6's and some aerobatic planes. Diamond had a mockup of their new D-Jet. We also got a couple of F-16's that made a couple passes including full afterburner straight up. Not a full demo, but enough to make the hair stand up on your neck. Frudoch and Poppy loved it. They even got autographed photos from Emerson Stewart III who did an aerobatic display just after the F-16 flybys.

Tomorrow its more airplanes including a full F-16 demo from Viper East at the Historical Aircraft Squadron Airshow in Lancaster Ohio. Its about 30 miles away and it has several more displays including a MiG 17 and B-17 as well as a P-51 Mustang. It should be a great small show. Next week the plan is to go up to Cleveland for their annual Labor Day Airshow. The Blue Angels are scheduled to be there and its a big show so there will be lots to do. Hope the weather holds up. If you want to learn more about airshows got to www.airshowbuzz.com and spend some time looking around.

School starts back on Wednesday so we have lots to do to get summer out our systems. I don't know if I remember how to get to the pool as its been so long since we went there.

Back from the land of Sweet Tea and Sunburns

I survived. I'm back. But where are my kids? Oh yeah I went down with 2 and caame back with none. I left them there. No I'm not a bad dad. My in-laws are bringing them home. We had to get back for the dog. I'm a bit more red in color and I tried my hand at body surfing and boogie boarding. Those waves are powerful. I.m glad the FFO is over. We left and drove from Kiawah to Mooresville NC Thursday evening and then back home Friday. A bunch easier breaking it up into 2 days. Going 80+ mph gets on your nerves especially through the twisty mountain passes and tunnels.

Cool things on the trip: I saw the Boeing Dreamlifter coming into Charleston SC as we were leaving. There were severe storms so the sky was dark and the plane was HUGE. So cool. I can cross that one off my list of things to see. Saw a C-17 jet too. Bunch of Marine and Coast Guard choppers. Did not see any gators. Almost ran over a turtle. Spent 2 days in bed with a migraine and had a couple hot dogs. That about covers it.
