For Geneva

Geneva wanted me to post these, she will comment on them in a little while explaining them.

Joke: Sorry it is so long but it is pretty funny

UPS Airlines

Just in case you need a laugh: Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high School diploma to fix one; a reassurance to those of us who fly Routinely in our jobs.

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet, which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics
correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.

By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute
descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks causing throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search

P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Safety First!!!

Spring update 2008

Hey Guys,

We took a walk last Sunday and took some pictures. I thought I'd post a couple :) This is our Alex, Lalee and Becca. It's hard to believe that they are growing up so fast. Lalee will be 8 this June and says that she wants to get baptized. We'll let you all know the date, time and place when it gets closer so you can join us if you'd like. Alex will be 6 in June and Becca will be 4 in August.

Yesturday Peter was sharing a candybar with Becca and Becca said, "Daddy, look behind you." Pete, thinking she was trying to show him something, looked back while BEcca proceeded to grab candy while he wasn't looking! It's kind of funny how quickly they pick up on devious things!

We are starting to think about getting ready to move. I have been procrastinating it as moving means de-junking and going through boxes and stuff that you usually don't mess with. If I were smart I'd just toss all of it out! School's going okay although I am really excited that the semester is almost over. We would love to hear about graduation plans for those of you who will be done this year. Hope you all are doing great. Love, Nae and Pete

Music

Hey all, Thought it would be kind of cool to see what kind of music everyone listens to now a days... but of course it can't be as simple as listing songs. Nope. Here's how it goes. I'll start by listing a song and the next person replies with a song that they like that starts with the last letter of the song. So I'll start with the one that is on right now:

"Crazy Bitch"

~Buck Cherry~

So someone will share a song that they like that starts with 'h' and the next will respond with a song that they like which starts with the first letter of the last song listed. Hopefully you get it! I think it'll be an interesting way to see what kind of music everyone has been listenin' to lately :)

Survey

That is a funny survey question. i think i would find a corner

new layout

I kinda like the new layout. Kudos to whomever is in charge. Brandi is that you again?

Question (this is for everybody here)

If you had a choice of falling into a bottomless pit with one person and falling for eternity or having to soak alone for eternity in a huge pool of Pepsi that never looses its carbonation where you have to watch TV or movies nonstop, which would you choose and why?

ok, never mind. It is apparently working today...

I'm not sure why, but this program thing is not letting me comment on people's posts. It says that I am not a member or something?? Any ideas?
