If 250,000 miles isn't accurate enough for you, then you must fault

Hiding behind Len now, are we....?

Never thought I'd see the day!

(him too, I'd reckon.....)

TRUE!
aybe it's because tomorrow (the 14th) is Valentine's
Day and he has a crush on me? :-( horrors!]

Gaaaaaaaaaah! hat an image that created!!!

Quick....pass the mental floss!

Ech...I have these moments every time I come in to this
Din of Inequity... :-(

Quite natural, that.....

Well, it's cheaper than going to those fake Hollywood horror
movies and I can have my own popcorn.

That was quite odd.

I thought it quite SOP (Standard Operating Practice) of him.

It seems to be......it's odd, though.

True, but you have to realize where you are and what he is.

And where he is......still hiding (behind you? - hey, move over and
let's see! (ee hee!) , unable to face reality.

Well, he lost his cool yesterday and gave K4YZ a slap on
the wrist with a wet noodle. He do dat 'bout twice a year
(perhaps to show off his "manliness"?).

Mucho macho! Guess we need to add "putz" to the list of personal
accolades that he's acquired here on the battlefield!

That kind of answers your question in an earlier post, though - why
isn't he on the radio doing DX with CW? - or something along those
lines. There's something here that keeps on drawing him in -
something that is missing in his radio hobby. Otherwise, he's be
there! He says that he spends quite a bit of time on the radio - but
who knows? (he's always here on the NG's, furiously pounding the
beejezus out of his keyboard!).

Wonder wassup wi' dat?



There are quite a few lines in the preceeding posts that he has chosen
not to comment on......no rebuttal, no contest. uess he figured that
no one would notice!

I'll be happy to point them out again when he returns with another
load of chaff.....

No matter to me. Hey, the guy has a "judge roy bean" complex
and wants to be "all the law east of the Pecos." Let him.
shrug

That's Mr. Bean to you....



Mental picture of Cranky Spanky trying to "correct" the
guys at JPL, especially their QC folks. :-)

He once claimed that Industry Canada was wrong......look out, JPL!

I'll pass the warning on to them.
PL is just a whoop and
a holler from my place...been there...:-)

Do they have a wind tunnel? hey could null him out with a bit of
Newton's Third....

They 'borrow' one from another NASA agency. That was the
one they rigged to test the Mars Rover's "bouncing balloon"
deployment system. That was shown on a recent TV cable
documentary.

While JPL started out with JATO bottle design in WW2,
they drifted off into unmanned spacecraft by the 1960s
and stayed in that field of work, divorced organizationally
from California Institute of Technology (their origin) and
established somewhat close to Pasadena's Rose Bowl.
Note: "Somewhat" is an Angeleno term and "somewhat
close" could be several miles to us down here. :-)

I didn't realize that JPL's first project was the JATO - thanks for
that! (makes sense!).


Too approximate. ou're either precise or approximate - you can't
have it both ways!

He wants to have his cake and eat anyone who says he can't!

Heh.....that's fer sure!
ore bark than bite, though......

"The squeaky wheel gets de grease" as the old saying goes.
He gottum two degrease, collitch degrease. rom a
university that was the SECOND one to build an electronic
computer...

Without his help, fortunately....

Yes! :-) But Eckert and Mauchly DID crib ideas from
Atanasof at Iowa State...as was proven in the federal
copyright trial held in the US much after ENIAC had
been sold off.

Got a chance to see some of the remaining parts of ENIAC at the
Smithsonian a few years back. Amazing machine - and an incredible
piece of engineering in the vacuum tube era.

After seeing what a BC-221 can do when properly modified, I have no
doubt that Jim could have made a pretty nifty antenna switch out of
it!


Stopped watch theory. ee above.

Cranky ought to apply for a job at NIST. e's got an Allan
Variance no one would believe!

now THAT'S funny!
est one yet!

Watch.
ranky will search for "Allan Variance," then start
lecturing about it...("he knew it all along")

Maybe not....he's got enough balls in the air already, figuratively
speaking....

...or maybe literally speaking! :-)

Maybe!



Note: ou can lead a horologist to water but you can't
make him prostitute himself...

True...but if he fell in, would he be a clock soaker?

Heeeeee! ive Stars for that one! uperb. :-)

Thanks!

You're welcome. A nice variant on the stock packer at a
hosiery maker: A sock tucker.

Ba-dum-bump!

That's pretty witty too!
