Since this thread has been discussing BBQ and not airplanes, let me take
it a little more OT. My daughter just happened to send this to me. So here
goes.

BARBEQUE SEASON

After four long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to
summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on
the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking, as it's the only type of
cooking a real man will do, probably because there is some of danger
involved.

Around here that would be a mountain lion showing up to see what(who)'s for
dinner.

At least one can hide from a tornado (or drive away from its path) and
the chances of it not hitting you are pretty good compared to a
hurricane.

Downside: You can't go sit up on your roof for a week, after a tornado rips
through your town. No roof!

Answer for tornado, poured concrete with steel and fiber
reinforced mix. Also spall-proof glass and steel shutters.
Some properly placed garden walls, planters and such would
deflect wind a debris from the windows. The roof would be
designed to withstand 150 mph and would NOT be a structural
part of the house. The concrete box would be designed to be
weather/water tight even if the roof blows off and would
serve primarily as a cover for the mechanical systems
located on the roof.
Could be designed to be fireproof and to withstand a direct
hit from a cat 5 tornado with only minor damage. Flood
would he handled by proper siting on high ground with a
nearby drainage basin.

Very few tornadoes destroy more than 50 sq. miles,
hurricanes can destroy 1,000s (Katrina was 90,000 sq.miles)
and hurricanes spawn tornadoes too.

I live in NC... it gotta be pork. But I never took to pulled pork.
Grew up in Pittsburgh (???!!)and barbecue there is pork ribs with lots
of sauce.

But the nicest place to live and fly is a Lake Ridge Aero Park - 8NC8 in
Durham NC. There's even a home on the runway for sale.... for no more
than a home anywhere else though it's a bit noisy.

Sorry, but BBQ is beef...


You say that above a whisper anywhere near NC and you'd best be locked and
loaded! :-)

In Oklahoma, if there is bad weather any where in the county, they turn on the
sirens. Out west some of the county are petty large ( more cows than people). If
you live in the southern part of the county and the bad weather is in the
northern part of the county, it's a no factor. But if you and your wife are out
mowing the yard, and the siren goes off you better go inside and check the TV.
You may be able to continue mowing or you may have to head to the fraidy hole
(underground shelter).

Example: The sirens went off again last night while we were all
watching the movie, during a thunderstorm. A couple of people from out
of town were mildly concerned (understandable, after our recent
experience) but the rest of us "veterans" simply went back to watching
"Memphis Belle"...

Sort of defeats the purpose of the warning sirens, this New Englander is
thinking.

Chapped lips are the result of dehydration, not humidity.

Noisy because of the highway? Or the good kind of noisy? :-)

[For anyone, like me, who doesn't know this stuff, yet]

This was fun... I'm STILLLLL learning the Google Earth program on my
Desktop.

1. Google: AirNav + 8NC8
2. Click: Google (by the maps).
Yes, you can select "Satellite" but I prefer the full Google Earth program.

3. Copy: ...all numbers after [=]
[36.060145%2C-78.783339]

4. Open: Google Earth
5. Paste: [36.060145[%2C]-78.783339] into GE.
6. Clean up/Delete: %2C (...it took 3 trys to figure this out)

7. Hit Enter: 36.060145-78.783339
8. There it is.


1. AirNav + ANE
2. Maps - choose Google
3. Copy [45.145000%2C-93.211389]
4. Paste [45.145000%2C-93.211389] into GE.
5. Backspace-Delete %2C
6. Hit Enter: 45.145000-93.211389
7. There's Anoka County-Blaine Airport


1. Google: AirNav + KIOW
2. Click: Google in the Maps area
3 Copy back to [=]
4. Paste into Google Earth: [41.639244%2C-91.546503]
5. Delete: %2C
6. Hit Enter: 41.639244-91.546503
7. There's Iowa City Municipal Airport.

It's only 50x quicker than reading my walk-through. g

It may take the roofs off half a dozen or so houses. If yours is
gone, you can generally go sit on your neighbor's roof.

If you don't let all your buses drown, you can get away from a hurricane,
too.
