A younger co worker of mine did not get the canoe meme. He has never seen the movie. In short, I told him it was a "EPIC movie. A Canoe trip that turns into a Hill Billy butt F*^%@!*@ banjo jamming nightmare".
That's about right, right? -

There always seems to be a connection. 😀
Obviously I'm referring to Bert Reynolds.
My wife's Grandfather was the backhoe operator for Smokey and the Bandit when the TA jumped a river in Arkansas.
So cool to make connections. -

I've been on the Chattooga River in north Georgia in rafts long ago - before the Deliverance movie.
My first trip was quite an experience, especially going over a small waterfall and puncturing the raft when we became caught on rocks halfway down. My friend and I had walked ahead to view the rapids before proceeding on all previous rapids. At the rapids that caused trouble, there was a group of "real hippies (1970)" camping next to the river. So being tired from more than 6 hours on the river and hearing the water flow ahead, we asked them from our raft in the pool before the rapids if it was safe to proceed.
They said sure it was okay to continue without walking the raft around the rapids. WOW! They helped us in getting our stuff to shore. These were the only people we saw that day on the river - before the river became so popular.
It was a long walk carrying our equipment back to our point of departure after reaching a local road through the woods.
A few years later, five work friends rafting were assaulted by mountain people on the river. This event was after the movie was released, and was reported by the local TV stations.
One of the better things Jimmy Carter did was backing legislation that prevented dams on the Chattooga River. It still remains wild today but lots of people visit."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"

The Pacific Air Show as seen from TV in FL. Thought it was cool to see a P51 and F35 together.

I think we live right under the military's jets flight path. They 99% of the time fly directly over us coming in and going out too.
Today was special. My wife and I were outside working and 3 smaller size jets roared overhead and banked left just as they passed us.
They were about 10 or 15 seconds apart. So the roar lasted for a good bit. We get jet air shows over us a lot.
We LOVE it when they come in slow...and keep that roar going STRONG and LOUD.
We think they use our big square bright white back-roof as a marker. Normal airplanes seem to fly off to the sides of us.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Those Mallory CGS (computer grade series) can last for many years with no leakage or change of value as long as they have a fairly heat free environment.

That's a beautiful bipe!
(that's ol' pilot-speak for biplane, in case any of y'all go to the Urban Dictionary and think otherwise!)
There are a number of pretty darned nice "groups" on Flikr for folks who appreciate vintage aircraft -- talk about expensive hobbies.

Apropos of the above (and FWIW): I've always kind of wondered why the "back side" of the cone suspension attained the moniker spider?
Now, I'll grant you that early "spiders" were, perhaps, more arachnoid in morphology -- such as the spiders on my venerable (and seldom unboxed) Altec 604B Duplexes (and on my single, rather scroungy, 603B "Dia-Cone").
1940s to early 1950s Altec (phenolic) spider from this interesting thread at the Lansingheritage forums:
