Post a picture... any picture

couple of final bits of Bristol Brabazon lore from https://theavgeeks.com/2021/03/03/witness-to-history-the-first-flight-of-the-bristol-brabazon-i/

1) The chief test pilot, Bill Pegg, was, perhaps, less than confident: "I’LL FLY THE COCKPIT AND
HOPE THE REST OF IT FOLLOWS ME" said he. He also advised the control tower as he readied for takoff
that he was going to do “a fast run – it may be a take-off; it may not.”
2) the village of Charlton was razed to allow for the predicted need of a longer runway for this beast -- a need that didn't turn out to be... umm... needed. I can almost hear John Cleese saying: "oops. sorry, Charlton! Sorry!"

Mmmmmm

You guys get new heart doctor's 😆
Now you need a half dozen eggs to go with that grub, and toast😛

I wish they had some whole wheat Texas toast in my area.
I must settle for the white

Well -- we've kind of joined the 21st Century at our house. The early 21st Centuray, at any rate.

Our son sent me home from VA last summer with a foundling Samsung flat-panel TV/monitor. Since it has HDMI video input, I did actually retire our truly ancient and somewhat monstrous ca. 1983 Toshiba 27" CRT TV (a hand-me-down from my parents, which had zillions of hours of use in their home, and has been used sporadically in ours since the early/mid 1990s) and hook it up as a "TV" at our house.





We don't watch much TV, but we did use the Samsung on Sunday to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas on Vermont PBS. I kinda cheated and streamed the video from a laptop via HDMI, while listening to the audio via the little Topping USB DAC generously karma'd by @Clipdat a while back.

Today, we watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas with our grandson -- via VHS videotape and the analog video inputs on the Samsung! Really pushin' the envelope.



I'm tellin' ya, that VHS HiFi Stereo (analog) audio still sounds pretty darned good! Recorded in FM via rotating heads, with 80-plus dB dynamic range and full 20 to 20kHz frequency response, no noise reduction needed.

Now back to playin' our VHS HiFi Stereo audio dubs of holiday music! So much functionality in that ol' Zenith VCR/DVD combo player!

Less than 24 hours apart.
