With the legs that thing stood on, it looked kind of like a missile, and you would think that it would go up, rather than blow a hole downward. Really strange, but depending on the size, it would look like a post hole digger had made it, just 15-20 ft deep.
Det cord has a really fast detonation speed. If memory serves me,(and it has been a really long time) I believe it is somewhere around 6000-6500 m/s. We use to stretch out 100 yds of it and then set it off. It is so fast that it looks like it all goes up instantaneously. Of course, it doesn't but it is faster than the eye can tell.
Afternoon D
Hope all are well
Y’all ready for madness?
We gonna win this thing

This is the D league. We don't deal with no M/S! If you don't mind, do the math and give us F/S. Thanks!
This made me smile.
Just bought a pack of these to deal with those awful wall warts taking up two parking spaces.
Mission accomplished!
Just saw a commercial that used the term "slow turkey" when talking about smoking cessation. I told my wife that they should have said "luke cool turkey" or just "cool turkey".
With all of our age and wisdom, why don't we form an advertising company that plays to and takes advantage of age old wisdom and the truths that experience reveals?
If one of you would take the responsibility and provide the financial support, then I would be pleased to be associated with the effort. I'm serious about my commitment. I really am!
Watching the UGA/Mizzou game. Ho hum. Tom Crean isn't much of a coach.
Maybe 20,000 ft per sec? Could be wrong, maybe am wrong and probably are wrong on the conversion!

Ymmot talk to your Buddy Bert. I know he has the money. Bert I'm glad you and your wife enjoy the United States Railroad boards monthly annuity. I know you earned most of it!
FCC heard something at church tonight "I wish I was as good a person thru the week as I pretended to be on Sunday" You ever heard that? That would stomp right thru a pair of steel toe shoes!
Is he still kissing players in the mouth?
Oh My Gosh SC that's nasty!!!!
![[sick]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/sick/sick0006.r191677.gif "Sick [sick]")
21,000 feet per second if memory serves.
Yes it is but I once saw a photo of him doing it. Sick. I hope he gave that up for lent.Oh My Gosh SC that's nasty!!!!
It was his son! See? Nothing creepy about that at all. Oh yeah, don't forget he was the coach at Indiana. Things are "different" up there.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 69°F. Looks as if we'll cool off a bit this morning into the upper 50s before warming into the mide-70s.
Plan on hitting up the pub after work for a meetup with colleagues. Couple beers sounds good.
Ha ha, and det cord is some magic stuff.

Yes sir. For actual missile and warhead destruction, idea is render systems inoperable in event of capture. Shape charges work wonders. Ha ha. Those things make some really neat holes.

Some things are better left in private.
Good morning D-League
Another nice morning on the Gulf Coast 62° this morning with a high projected for 85° by mid afternoon. A strong breeze off of the Gulf keeps the humidity low and makes things very comfortable.
The SEC tournament has started and today will be a full schedule. But the real tournament starts Friday when our Cats hit the floor.
Busy day today. Have a great one.

Just a tad bit of rain this morning....
Windy and warm this morning. The wind was going all night. I bet i have some Alabama leaves in my yard this morning.
I do enjoy those checks. We did earn them. They took almost three times out of your check than social security plus the RR had to match that higher percentage. In 1970 and 1971 we folks at the L&N did not get a raise, but instead the L&N agreed to pick up the difference between Railroad Retirement and Social Security. That made a big difference. Most railroad did not do that, but the L&N was special and treated their folks well. The best is the third check, my executive pension. When I retired at 53 years old, I lived on that for 7 years.
The railroad made me do some things I would never have done on my own, like they really encouraged us to take IRAs and 401-ks. Because of them I have a good retirement. The first day of work they gave me a little book called "Benefits". I never read the thing as I was just happy with having a good job. When I turned 50, they had a training session for all the guys and gals that turned 50 that year and their spouses. They had the convention center in the Omni hotel, fed us breakfast & lunch and told us what we had earned. That is when I discovered that I could live on my private pension.
For the private pension they took the five highest years of pay for the last ten years. In the 1990’s I got my highest bonuses and on top of that I got three large awards, two Presidents Awards and one Award of Excellence. So, in 2000 it made sense to get out then as I may not get more awards (they are hard to get). The first Presidents Award was in 1990, the second in 1994 and the Award of Excellence was in 1997. So, I retired.
One must strike while the iron is hot.

Good morning D from the wet Berg!!! Stormed most of the night but right now the sun is coming out which is NOT a good sign!!!!!! Bert congrats on that RR check! I hope you get to draw many more!!!!Sadly my dad never got to enjoy his retirement, cancer took a great man way to early 1994! First of all thank all of you for serving our great country!!!!! I also enjoyed reading your experience with det cord! There was so many more types of cord I helped make 1-G, M-50 A-pods and 1-E (we made more of this one than any)! I also helped in reducing the amount of cuts in a cord that we made ever once in a while that was put in holes on oil rigs that went to extreme depts. Hope ya'll have a great day!!!!! Stay dry and have your boats ready!!!!
Hoops are really heating up today, D-Leaguers. All I ask of the basketball gods before the Cats start playing tomorrow: Let Ohio State beat Indiana and let Texas beat Kansas. I'd take a Louisville win over the UNC-CHeaters as well, of course. And a Duke stumble would be nice.
So, just a clean sweep for teams playing Duke, UNC-CHeats, Indiana and Kansas would be enough for today. Tomorrow when the Cats debut in post-season will be soon enough for the serious wishes.

Congratulations on those awards Bert, and on retiring early. No one ever looked back on life and wished they'd worked one extra year, but lots have wished they'd worked at least one fewer year. Like me, for example.
I heard a question asked yesterday, if there will be more BLUE or orange in the gym Friday night. I am hoping more BLUE, because I am hoping the orange floppingtops will already be out!!!!!
Hey Cord. Heads up. Band of pop up storms coming through the City as I type. Headed your way. You are next. FCC.
Co-worker brought in doughnuts.
Life is good.
Life is good.
It looks like maybe going north of us headed towards ECAT! But I have my safe spot ready!!!
Mr. Rooster, is there very many Kentuckians in your area? I have a friend that's out there (Tempe area)? He's retired from Southwest he was a pilot
I was wrong FCC! They just issued a watch for us till 4! That's a long one!!!!

Still dealing with wind and storms. I was giving Cord a warning. Not too worried about railroad. It can't blow him over. I don't mean his house. I mean him. He's a big guy. FCC.
Edit: Seriously, I just texted him and he is ok. But still some storms to go. Tornado sighted FCC.

Tornado just touched down 2 miles SE of my house. Gotta go. FCC.
Stay safe!!!! Getting off here for a while!
Power lines down in Mall area. Currently sustained winds at 20 mph. ssw. FCC.
They're around. I used to hang out with them at the sports bars before the SEC Net. I've got a sister out here along with nephews, nieces, kids & grand kids. When UK played at Talking Stick there were about 8-10K fans. About 5 times more than the other 3 schools combined. I see a few decals, hats & shirts. We'll have a genuine White Castle soon about 6 miles from my house so I won't have to miss them anymore. Bet they omit the Big Red on tap.
You folks stay safe today.
