Dumbasses

Seems the older I get the more idiots I have to deal with . Example work : I drive professionally and get an assignment to do a switch near Tete Jaune bc . There is only a pullout w a government scale there and no room to drop trailers unles u want a microscope up your ass . I talk to the other driver to pick a more safe and convienient spot for both of us . Smart .
I let the office know we are switching in valemount .
Reply : why the hell would we do that , it's 20km out of the way . I call and we get into it about how they are trying to do what's best for our customers and don't need me changing things behind their back .
Stupid
What the hell am I doing out here ? Trying to do my best for the local mice ? I meet the customers and develop relationships with all of them while the office sits behind a desk . I know the road , where pullouts and rest areas are and they don't have a clue .
Now I ask you , do you put some faith in your drivers knowledge and ability or do u sit behind your desk Patrick g yourself on the back ?
Btw after all the crap , we switched at what he called Abernathy. It's in valemount and its Abernathy towing and truck stop , not a friggin town

Flightradar24

Flightradar24 is a real time flight tracking service that shows you where thousands of planes are at any given time. Whether you’re an aviation buff or just want to show a worried kid that mom’s flight is almost home, they have you covered.

Flightradar24 is a free service that tracks flights using data from the FAA and ADS-B to display the status of flights across the globe. You can filter the information to see only certain planes, planes originating from certain airports, planes at various altitudes, and more.

Today I tracked a flight from Frankfurt Germany to Calgary ......... according to Flightradar24 it was about to fly over our house. I went outside with my camera and within 2 minutes  the aircraft banked right over me. Too awesome!!!

Large military cargo plane bound for MacDill AFB lands at wrong airport

A large military cargo plane that was supposed to go to MacDill Air Force Base landed at the wrong, much smaller airport on Davis Islands in Tampa on Friday afternoon.

The large place landed at the relatively small Peter O. Knight Airport in Tampa around 1:30 p.m. The military aircraft is a C-17 Globemaster, according to officials at the airport. The airport is at the southern tip of Davis Islands, south of downtown.

New Fiat comes with in-car espresso maker

Leave it to the Italians to build an espresso machine into your car.

Yes, automaker Fiat's teamed up with coffee experts Lavazza to offer a "Coffee Experience" option in their new 500L. On cars so equipped, the cupholders between the front seats will use built-in heating elements in their base to boil water in a special brewing flask. The water percolates up to the top of the flask, where it blends with the coffee in the "Modo Mio" pod. Just like that, you've fresh, piping hot coffee on the go.

Awesome photography

Over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, so it’s not surprising that it’s often the subject of our photographs. From rivers, lakes, ponds and oceans to waterfalls, swimming pools, rain and dew drops, water can look brilliant when photographed.

This is the kind of stuff I am trying to learn ...... but I do have a new friend who happens to be a professional photographer. Cool stuff.
