• 707 fly was economic

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to BILL SWISHER on Wednesday, May 09, 2018 11:09:26
    I thought that one had to be pretty badly
    off (almost in me territory) to be denied
    because of eyesight.
    When I first met her, she would have been maybe 22, they did surgery to
    snip on
    the muscles controlling one of her eyes, seems to run in the
    family...her dad
    had the same problem and now my great-nephew does. After that they
    were almost
    perfectly aligned, if she got tired not so much. Her eyesight was muy
    malo in
    one eye, and corrected in the other. It was only after the lens
    replacements
    that she didn't need bifocals, still needed reading glasses.

    Eyes are the Achilles' heel of many of us.

    Course, not much risk involved, so why fuss.
    More along the line of "Arf, arf, great landing!" They were all pilots
    also,
    which is why Connie MADE me learn how.

    Can one easily change direction in ground
    effect? If so, one might try some interesting
    antics.

    Why don't skis have shock absorbers?
    I would guess the weight and KISS factor for small planes. Jim
    probably knows
    more about this. Always fighting weight. Connie and I flew down to
    Homer, we

    Shock absorbers are standard on wheeled planes,
    so they must have evolved to have a good strength
    to weight, no?

    flew down to Homer a lot, and it came down to having her or a 12pack of
    beer.
    Being a coward, or I was being accomodating take your choice, I took her. Besides we were staying with her boss on their boat. Remember my
    comment about
    the flight from Nadi to Suva and having to step up onto the scale
    holding my
    carry on (everybody got to do it), that's when they made seat
    assignments and I

    We had to be weighed on numerous flights to concerts
    on the Cape and Islands. There was one when I told
    them 170 (counting violin and tux), and my friend
    the violist, who was cute but substantially obese,
    said "same." They had to unload us and reconfigure
    because of her little white lie, lest it become a
    big black and red one.

    got to sit in the first row immediately behind the copilot (great view
    of the
    instrument panel). Then again I took a commercial flight from Cordova
    back to
    Anchorage and sat in the copilots seat (I had to promise not to touch anything), we dropped down and circled some whales.

    I've sat in the co-seat a couple times. Once the
    guy told me I could help fly the plane. I think in
    jest, because he knew I was (am) too blind to see
    the instrument panel clearly. Big old radar scope
    in front, and we went straight in through a dark
    green patch - we were taking the plane because
    the ferry from Martha's to the mainland was
    cancelled for high seas.

    And to think that once upon a time I had 20/10. Now I wear bifocals.

    Can one easily change direction in ground

    I don't think it's something I'd like to try. Not a lot of control at that speed.

    We had to be weighed on numerous flights to concerts

    Took a flight to Seward, 206 I think, takeoff was OK. Because of fuel burn the
    balance had changed. Landed in Seward and the whole taxi to the building the tail would drag everytime he hit a bump as the front tire came off the ground.

    You guys were talking about surviving your doc. I had a cardiac guy who tried like Heck to hospitalize me, wanted me to head directly to the ER. I put it off for a week and then went in for a scheduled angioplasty, which ended up being the bypass. Later he was XC skiing in the back country and got killed in
    an avalanche.

    Eyes are the Achilles' heel of many of us.

    And to think that once upon a time I had 20/10. Now I wear bifocals.

    When I was 14 or 15 I had 20/15 and recall seeing details on a postage
    stamp that the dealer had missed with his magnifying glass. By the time
    I graduated from high school I was nearsighted at mayb 20/400. Then by
    the time I took the physical at ROTC summer camp between junior/senior
    year of college, I had deteriated to perhaps 20/800 uncorrected. The
    good news is that got me out of the combat branch I had been in and I
    got to choose a non-combat arms branch that claimed to have some
    connection to computers. Today, I am perhaps 20/40 corrected and have
    a trifocal varilux lens for walking / driving around and another pair of bifocals with the major lens optimized for arms-lenght computer screen.

    This recipe landed in my monthly extract of recipes only because of the reference to scalloped potatos making it turn up on my search. I pick
    it because I know that you would not eat most of the other things in
    this file. :-}}

    A friend of mine was a 747 pilot and he wore trifocals. Bottom set for the instrument panel, middle set to see where he was going (handy while taxiing/taking off/landing I suppose), and an upper set to see all that stuff hanging off the overhead.

    and another pair of bifocals with the major lens optimized for
    arms-lenght computer screen.

    Mine are just a single. I stared at a monitor all day, back when I wasn't a parasitic drain on the economy, and needed them. With them I can see clearly from about 18" to 6', after that things are slightly fuzzy. Meaning if I'm not

    Mine are just a single. I stared at a monitor all day,
    back when I wasn't a parasitic drain on the economy, and

    That is why I started using the "computer glasses". The problem with
    the varilux or progressive lenses is that the field of vision at the intermediate range (i.e. computer screen) is fairly narrow. With those glasses, I can only read about one newspaper column without moving my
    head.


    needed them. With them I can see clearly from about 18" to

    The only time I have goat is at one particular Indian buffet where they ususally have a goat curry. It has a rich brown gravy with it. Gail
    won't touch it though because of the predominance of bones.

    Title: Really Rich Beef and Mushrooms
    Categories: Meat
    Yield: 4 Servings

    MMMMM---------------------SOUR CREAM MIXTURE--------------------------
    12 oz Low-fat cottage cheese
    2 oz Non-fat cream cheese
    3 tb Vinegar

    MMMMM-----------------------SEASONING MIX----------------------------
    1 tb Plus 2 tsp Meat Magic
    1 ts Black pepper
    Crushed or coarsely ground

    MMMMM---------------------MEAT AND MUSHROOMS--------------------------
    1 lb Top round steak
    Fat removed, scalloped
    2 c Onion(s), chopped
    4 c Beef stock, in all
    6 tb All-purpose flour, sifted
    8 c Mushrooms, sliced
    6 c Cooked wide noodles

    Day 1: Combine the sour cream mixture ingredients in a blender or food
    processor and puree until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is very
    thick, push it down toward the blades a few times. Cover and
    refrigerate overnight.

    Day 2: Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.

    Sprinkle all surfaces of the meat evenly with 2 tsp of the seasoning
    mix, rub it in well, and set aside.

    Preheat a heavy 5-quart non-stick pot over high heat to 350 F, about
    4 min. Add the onions and cook just until they start to brown, about
    2-3 min. Move the onions to one side of the pot and add the seasoned
    meat to the other side, along with the remaining seasoning mix. Cook,
    stirring the meat once or twice, for 5 min. Add 1/2 cup of the
    stock, mix the meat and onions together, and scrape the bottom of the
    pot to clear it of all brown bits. Cook until most of the liquid
    evaporates and the mixture starts to stick, about 5 min. Add 1/2 cup
    stock and scrape the bottom of the pot again. Stir in the sifted
    flour and mix until it is completely absorbed, a paste forms, and the
    beef is moist and sticky. Add the mushrooms, stir, and cook, scraping
    the bottom of the pot occasionally to prevent sticking, for 5 min.
    Add the remaining stock, stir to clear the bottom and sides of the
    pot, and cook for 10 min. Add the sour cream mixture and whisk until
    it is completely blended into the sauce. Serve over wide noodles.

    Sounds like the whateveritwas that I had in Fiji last time. I got to the airport, checked in and decided I was hungry. Went over to the "cafeteria" and
    did the tried and true point and grunt. Hey the place was full to cab drivers, how bad can it be? I had no idea what it was, but I sensed it once it
    had either 2 legs (and wings) or 4 legs, plus it looked good, and was. Besides I got a local hoppy beer to go with it, so all was well. I had to eat something, it's not quite 12 hours from there to Los Angeles, and the food back
    in steerage on those planes is not so delectable, even if they are foreign flagged.

    Hi Nancy,

    Sure... fine by me... ;) Could be a picnic conversation....
    Sounds good to me. By then I'll have had my annual appointment
    with the retina specialist and know how that's developing.
    True... that will affect when/if you get cataract surgery... :)

    Yes, as it has to be done before the cataracts and I don't want them
    to get to the point of not being able to see that well while waiting on the other issue. Don't want to have to cook by braille.

    No, that could be a bit offputting... ;) A friend of mine at the Pond
    had issues with macular degeneration... she become close to fully
    blind, but found ways of coping in the kitchen so she could still
    cook...

    You have to find ways to compensate but I don't want to start
    experimenting quite yet. Of course one way to cope with the problem
    would be to have Steve do all the cooking. (G)

    I'd say "me, myself and I" but we were talking about Steve being
