So it really depends on the strength of the hitter on how far a neophyte will go. They should hire Barry Bonds for the initiation rites.......and of course, supply him with enhancements. :beaten: :hehe:

Overslept today.

And I'm still the first person in the building. :shakehead:

I worked all weeking installing a paver patio in my little side yard, and I'm sore all over. :beaten:

i hope you used sand and a vibrating compactor to get the pieces locked in.

Sand, yes. But I didn't rent the vibrating compactor. I was sweeping for an hour before I got pooped. Those joints sure take lots of sand and I know it needs more. Maybe I should rent one.

He could've used the vibrating compactor for his soreness afterwards as well. :hehe:

It's fine as long as your frame is secure. It'll move a little, but not very much. Keep sweeping sand onto it, and then use a rubber mallet to hit a paver, if it moves a bit, you need a little more sand. If it moves a lot, then goto home depot and rent the compactor. :victory:

No kidding. I would have just laid down on it. Ahhhh....

planes are taking off the reverse direction... usually means it's going to rain soon. :crazy:

They do that in San Jose as well. It all depends on the wind direction if I remember.

im just saying from experience here... 80-90% of the time they take off in opposite direction, it rains...

I sure hope it was rain and not something else. :headscratch:

I just saw this: the reason for the odd landings.

Delays hit LA airport after landing system failure 6 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Airplanes were backed up at Los Angeles International airport, the world's fifth busiest, for at least an hour on Monday after an instrument landing system failed, an airport spokesman said.

Spokesman Tom Winfrey said equipment on one of the airport's two working runways failed and the Federal Aviation Administration was trying to restore it as soon as possible.

"We have two runways and the equipment serving one runway went out at 9:30 a.m. (12:30 p.m. EDT)," Winfrey said.

An FAA spokesman in Washington, Ian Gregor, said the failure in Los Angeles would likely cause a "ripple" throughout the system.

"What happened essentially is the ILS (Instrument Landing System) for the inner runway on the airport's south side went down this morning and temporarily knocked the airport's arrival rate down from 56 planes an hour to 32," Gregor said.

"Air traffic responded by turning the airport around so the planes were landing from the west and departing to the east and that has brought the arrival rate back up to pretty much what it was at before," he said.

The FAA Web site said there was a "ground stop" in effect for flights arriving at Los Angeles International, which means that flights en route to the airport were being delayed at their point of departure to avoid clogging up the airways

Makes you wonder how much more efficient the airport could be if all landings were done this way.
