What Cheered You Up Today?

[SaparotRob]

In addition to a small but baffling oil leak, my airplane also developed a strong pull to the Left when braking. I first was very surprised to find the Left tire to be very low on air pressure, but yesterday I found that correcting that did not help the Left pull. So I I reverse bled both brakes, removed the Left side pads, cleaned everything, and reinstalled it all. Then I took the Right pads off, and having found no indications of what caused the problem, asked my mechanic for advice. He suggested that I swap the Left and Right pads and see what that does, and I did so. Today I found that the Left pull is gone entirely and there is now a very slight Right pull that is no problem. I still do not know what caused the original problem but it is fixed, if not explained.

That, my son, is the secret of life.

Just saw this Moth outside- you wouldn't see him if he was sitting on a branch!

Son's finger to show size.

That reminds me of my Nephews favorite joke when he was young.

Question: "What's long, brown, and sticky"?
Answer: "A stick" (or this moth).
Then he would chuckle at his own joke.

My brother would say ' What's brown, and looks in the window? - A poo on stilts.'

Caught them in Savannah, Georgia in 1987 or '88.

Always wanted to see them 'in the day' (as they say here). Was a big fan in the '80s/ early '90s.

Lemmy said those guys are a band.

So they are cool. They worked for that. I take his word. Anytime.
