ok, well, the season is pretty much over for us.  we didnt get as many pics as we wanted to but i figured i would post what i have.  and yes, that is a pic of the forum emblem that my brother drew on my cast. represent! lol the only bad part about snowboarding with the cast was trying to keep it dry. i did not do a very good job with that. lol oh well... have fun! talk latter!

snowboarding part 2

snowboarding pics

my point...

and... how are you?  lol  i saw this in the comics today and thought it was funny.  it proves my point in a prior post.  so, here you go.  talk latter!  have fun!

crayons...

crayons can melt on us for all i care...  and...  i have now wasted about 10 seconds of your life.  i am such a horrible person...  lol  have fun!  talk latter!

*edit- i have had a couple people ask me about this post.  no, i did not have a sudden dislike for crayons.  lol  it was actually a song by relient k.  the song is titled "crayons can melt on us for all i care" and the entire song is 10 seconds long, in which he says he is wasting 10 seconds of your life.  i found this amusing and decided to post it.  now, in explaining myself, i have wasted a bit more time than 10 seconds.  lol  but i have wasted more time in typing this, than you have in reading it, so i guess the joke is on me now.  lol  oh well... have fun!  talk latter!

aircraft pilots and mechanics

just in case you need a laugh:

ok, so it takes a college degree to fly a plane... but only a high school diploma to fix one. that does not make alot of sense to me and i dont think it would be very reassuring for anyone flying.  here is something i read about aircraft pilots and their mechanics.

after every flight, qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about any problems with the aircraft. the mechanics correct the problems and then document their repairs on the form.  the pilots then review the gripe sheets before the next flight.  after reading this, never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by "maintenance engineers." by the way, qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.  if that makes any difference to you... i mean, just maybe...  lol  anyways, here we go:

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 cause 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. 
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!

whatever i feel like...

i have not been on here in a while, so i figured i would just write something.  first of all, it is a beautiful day outside.  it is like God knew exactly what He was doing when He made it...  its like He is God or something...  so wierd...  anyways... that brings up another subject.  if i can type.  i am having so much trouble right now.  lol  all right, a couple of weeks ago, i was listening to a comedian and he was talking about the book of Genesis and the creation of the world.  he brought up a couple of points that were really good.  things that i had never noticed before.  Genesis 1:1 says that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  verse 2 says that darkness was upon the face of the deep.  so that means, He created this world IN THE DARK.  that is so incredible to me.  i mean, i can barely tie my own shoes in the dark and He created the universe in the dark.  He put everything in place, and then stepped back and said, "all right, lets take a look now."  and then, God invented light.  its not like He had seen it somewhere else and decided that He wanted that back on earth.  its not like He had seen twilight, and thought, "oh that would be great if it were a little bit brighter."  He completely did this all...  it just blasts my mind... (yes, it blasted my mind.  anything can blow your mind, but it takes a little bit more to blast it.  lol)  anyways, that is so awesome to me.

well, i have my cast off now.  and i am so glad about that.  i was so sick of that thing.  my wrist hurts more now, but i think its just cause i have not been using it.  so, i will just give it a couple more days.  then, one of my friends got hurt snowboarding.  he actually got taken home in an ambulance.  he is cool now, but he ended up separating his shoulder and bruising his spine.  he does kinda have an excuse though.  he fell on the biggest jump they had up at sierra summit and he was trying to do a backflip.  well, that is what he told me.  lol  but he is out for a while now.  bummer...  its alot more fun when you have more people up there.  well, i have to go now.  its almost time for class.  a beautiful day and i have to spend it indoors... talk latter!
