@goosehd:

@Matt …so you're experiencing a little turbulence.

When I worked in the defence industry, we were sent the spec for a system that would solve the following?

"We have a requirement to drop Chieftain Tanks on sleds from Globemaster C-17's flying low over enemy territory.  Once the tank is dropped there should be no noticeable perturbation from the aircraft."

A Chieftain weighs 55 tons FFS 

[Matt]

Give or take a ton, I felt much better after dumping my cargo.

Anyone travelling longer that the 14 hours?

here ‍️ but with my camper van. starting tomorrow morning in Kiel, staying overnight somewhere at the Channel, taking the ferry across Thursday morning, should be in Gosport by early afternoon

but I guess that doesn't count

@endo Hell yes it counts…they can drink the entire way here, but you... (I guess you could...  :))

There is always loads of booze available on channel ferries

Nice.

Hahaha glad you dug it, Dr. Matthattan

[scooter]

I got to O'hare too early, apparently. Whizzed through check in, and TSA. Still 75 minutes until boarding, 2 hours until takeoff. Better than being late, I guess…..
