The Biggest Fan Of Fuzzy Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Aw. I'm so sorry! :closedeyes: I had the a horrible thing happen today too. I was outside this morning flying my little helicopter outside, because I kept crashing into things in my room. A gust of wind came and blew it onto the roof. Luckily, it was the low part of the roof. So I got a ladder out, and went up..BUT I KNOCKED THE LADDER OVER! That wasn't the worst part though. I had to jump down, and I was going to go in the front, but then I realized the side would be a lesser jump. So I went the side, and then I remember that we had tomato plants there, so I couldn't jump. So I went back to the front side and jumped down and all was good. So I went over to the tomato plants to check them out, and they got HUGE! I don't know why I did, but I looked into this bucket thing, that my step dad put under the gutter, to use that water to water the plants, ya know... Well, I looked in...and guess what I saw! A chipmunk! It was standing up perfectly straight, hands were out. It was so cute, and I wanted to jump in and save it and perform CPR. But I couldn't. I just couldn't get in there to save it. It was probably long dead by then anyway, so my efforts would have meant nothing. I want to cry, I feel soooooooooooooooooooooo bad. *hugs, hugs, hugs* I am so sorry. If it was dead it wouldn't be standing. Couldn't you dump the bucket, let the chipmunk out then fill the bucket again? How about putting a screen over it, to allow the rain water in and keep out the critters? Please go back and see if it is still there. Perhaps it is still alive and you can let it go. Please go back out and check. I first saw it like, 4 hours ago... And then I checked back before I posted that last post, and it was still in a standing position.... Could it have really stayed alive that long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still dump out the bucket and if it was deceased, get a shovel and bury it and if it was still alive, give it time to get away. Having no idea how long it could stand, I would have dumped the bucket the first time I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was his parent, he would lose car privileges when he killed an animal. If he wanted to drive he would have to go and buy his own car.

Exactly what I thought. oh yeah i agree the iphones pictures are so clear! i think i'll go to the rock climbing gym later today... Have fun!

Horatio Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 So, today I went out for a bike ride. Had to force myself as it was sprinkling and I wasn't up for the rain before I got on the bike. But after I got going... the rain was nice. Tomorrow I am taking the motorcycle to Orlando for it's annual service check and a new front tyre. On Friday I am picking up my new motorcycle... a DRZ400S. It will have knobbies for dirt. On Sunday, I am riding 270 miles, on the R1100S, from my cage to Captiva for breakfast and then back again. 540 miles roundtrip just to eat breakfast. If all works out... I will have some pictures to post. Black motorcycles with black leather motorcycle gear are great for stalking. Perhaps we ought to start a stalking club if we can't find a local chapter.

We had three Sago Palms and they got some sort of disease. They are nice when they are low to the ground, as they get taller I don't really care for them. Plus... down here they are ultra expensive. My favorite is the Bismarck Palm. Plumerias... we have them down here, but I can't remember what they look like. In the picture I took, the space between the fronds were sort of heart-shaped.

Horatio Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Left my cage about 04H00 and rode the bike about 250 miles to meet some people for breakfast. We rode another 30 plus miles and ended up in Captiva. Here is a picture of our bikes in front of the restaurant. The weather was beautiful, the restaurant was fantastic and we all enjoyed ourselves. After breakfast, we decided to go to the beach. Spent a little time there and decided it was time to part ways. A few people stayed at the beach, the other guys went on to the next eating event... lunch and I rode with them a while before heading back home. The ride home was going well until the skies opened up and this continued for almost 150 miles. The last 50 miles were sunny and I was able to dry out. Only 0.6 miles from my driveway, my back tyre went flat. The bike was too heavy for me to walk it uphill, so I had to ride it with the flat. How fortunate I was so close to my cage when the flat occurred, considering it was 20H21. After a hot sand shower, I ate some soup, a salad, and hopped on here. All in all today was spectacular!!! Oh... I forgot to say, my bike is the yellow one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How fortunate I was so close to my cage when the flat occurred, considering it was 20H21. After a hot sand shower, I ate some soup, a salad, and hopped on here. All in all today was spectacular!!! Oh... I forgot to say, my bike is the yellow one. thats burger-flippin sweet! i would kill an inanimate object for a motorcycle! or a Lamborghini... just incase anyone was wondering why i haven't been on every like 10 seconds im in texas i saw a john mayor concert last night! and we got VIP passes to this after party type thing and John Mayor didnt show up :'[ but Colbie Callait, who opened for john mayor, was there and she is the sweetest person in the universe and i got to see david ryan harris (he got us the VIP passes) who is john's guitarist and hes just super nice too OHHHH and John Mayor was SHIRTLESS THE ENTIRE CONCERT!!!! and his abs are smokin'! that man is fine Go for the motorcycle!!!! Way, way waaaaaaaaaaay cheaper. The good news is that you won't have to stop at every gas station you pass. Wave to Arkcher. He lives in Texas. Glad to hear you had a great time at the concert. Sorry to hear John Mayor didn't show up, but it sounds like you had a fun there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Left my cage about 04H00 and rode the bike about 250 miles to meet some people for breakfast. We rode another 30 plus miles and ended up in Captiva. Here is a picture of our bikes in front of the restaurant. The weather was beautiful, the restaurant was fantastic and we all enjoyed ourselves. After breakfast, we decided to go to the beach. Spent a little time there and decided it was time to part ways. A few people stayed at the beach, the other guys went on to the next eating event... lunch and I rode with them a while before heading back home. The ride home was going well until the skies opened up and this continued for almost 150 miles. The last 50 miles were sunny and I was able to dry out.

Oh... I forgot to say, my bike is the yellow one. So, it was fun, yes? Ohhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeessssssssssss! The night before, I was thinking... do I really want to ride all this way for breakfast when I could just ride locally. Well, I woke up five minutes prior to my alarm clock going off, and I decided to start riding and see how I felt. Well, it felt great to I was really happy that I went. Now this is what makes me unhappy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are cheap airline pilots... they have to pay or else we would be sleeping in the jet. Actually that is one of the great benefits of the job, you get to go to fun places and if the schedule permits, you can do a little sight seeing. For example, we got in last night and do not leave until 04H00 local time Tuesday morning. So, I will have today and tomorrow to have some fun.

Do you find it easier being a cargo airline pilot knowing you don't have the lives of hundreds as you would if you were a passanger airline pilot? Don't even consider it. We carry a few 'jumpseaters' (passengers), but even if it is only myself and my first officer, we always have safety as our primary concern which is the same as the passenger airlines. Pilots always err on the side of caution/safety, so what is in the back does not matter. When passengers come into a pilot's consideration is when there are delays, or a deviation to another destination because of weather or mechanical, now you have to advise them of what is happening. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Was up at 03H00 in San Francisco and flew to Indianapolis. It is now 14H30 Indianapolis time, and I have to figure out what to do next. I am getting up at midnight to fly from Indianapolis to Charlotte, North Carolina. At least when I get there, it will be time to go to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I am the top poster today!!! woooooohoooooo ~Liz Congratulations! Now for me to do a little catch-up. Today we arrived in Los Angeles around 05H00 and headed for the hotel. It is in Marina Del Rey. Very close to the water. Next time I will bring the camera, but for today, I walked for about 10 miles. Now back to bed for a little nap before we fly from Los Angeles to Newark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
