Your local VFW might be able to help, as well.

Thanks for that - I completely forgot the VFW retires the colors.

I'll check with them tomorrow, Flag Day is coming up, so I best get on it.

Yes, you look good in latex.

And so flexible is he, isnt he?

absolutely fuming at the very poor standard of the food and overall cleanliness and state of repair of the kitchen in general.
i understand they are short of staff but some things are inexcusable !

Internet's Low Speed and Extended Censorship

Internet's Low Speed and Extended Censorship

I suspect that may be more of a regional thing, as the internet is working fine over here in the states.
One thing that I've been concerned about though, is that many regimes tend to keep an eye on people who speak out against them and this has me worried for your safety.
Please be careful!

Thank you so much, I really Appreciate this. But this one has nothing to do me, in personal, and nothing to be worried of. In fact, this is for Presidential Elections which is two weeks later.

The Internet Speed in general is much much better when compared to 2017, when I joined here... but anyway, still it is a big problem for so many people like me that Internet is their main income source.

and censorship is not only done by regime, but also so many App's, sites, games ... ban Any IP Address from Middle Earth area. this includes World Banking System too.

Best scam I have gotten was an email trying to blackmail me claiming they had hacked my computer and hijacked my webcam while I was watching inappropriate content. Claimed they'd send the images to everyone in my address book.
I don't have a webcam.

I had that many times on a the admin address of the SFG-1 website. Funny thing is, that account has no contacts in it's address book.

my favourite telephone scam was a few years ago when there was a stream of phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft. The story was that they found malware on your computer and that they would help you get rid of that. After the 6th call or so, I decided to play along. Kept them talking for half an hour. They got increasingly irritated that I could not execute even the simplest instruction. ("Click on the start button in the lower left corner" " I don't see that one"). They hung up when I decided it was time to tell them that I was running Linux instead of Windows

After two good issues, I received a letter from air classic that they are temporary shutting down due to supply chain issues. Been getting issues since the 70s. I need my airplane fix

 

[vikingBerserker]

YIkes! The supply chain is getting worse and worse.

 

[special ed]

Air Classics was always a bit shady in my opinion. A friend submitted an article, was approved, price agreed and was never paid, even after considerable letters. I was given a ride in their B-25 "Executive Suite" for which I was very thankful, however I overheard the pilot telling another person they flew there (a CAF airshow) with minimal fuel and oil so they could fill up on airshow fuel and oil.

When I get a phone call from IRS scammers, I just ask them to call me at another number................... and then give them Dave's.......

I'm kidding!

Give them the IRS phone number.

Sorry to hear about the no pay situation. Not right.

I think it is pretty common for the group presenting the Airshow to provide consumables to the aircraft that attend and participate. I would be surprised if most of the aircraft attending didn't follow the same procedure.

Today I experienced the second worst experience you can have while driving. I ran over somebody's dog. It happened in the blink of an eye. I saw a flash of brown charging from the right, directly toward my car. I felt a thump as the dog was struck by one of my tires, and as I pulled over I heard the wail of the young woman to whom the little critter belonged. I'm just glad it was not a child. The woman's family helped remove the dog from the road, and headed for the vet, but based on what I could see, the dog's chances of survival are pretty bleak.

That sucks for all involved.

 

[GrauGeist]

Oh man, that's terrible.
Sorry you had to experience that

 

[Greg Boeser]

Not as sorry as the poor woman who watched her dog get run over.
As I reconstruct the scene in my head, the dog was across the street from the owner's house. I heard her screaming as soon as I stopped the car. Had she called for the dog as I approached? The dog was running in the direction of it's owner's house when it darted into the street, from my 2 o'clock, directly in front of my car. There was no time to stop. The dog lay about one car length behind me when I did stop.

 

[SaparotRob]

Being a decent guy you're going to be beating yourself up over this for a long time. No kind words will change that. It wasn't a premeditated act. You didn't set the dog loose. take your time and grieve over it. I love dogs too.

Greg, sorry to have that happen, a nightmare for everyone
