If you like old flying boats, watch for this one at an airshow:

Some farmers I used to work with dragged it off the tundra near Inuvik where it had crashed years ago and restored it to flyable condition

That's an epic story.  :thumbup:
Restoration projects are fascinating. At the WDM, you could see the progress on the fabrication work on the Vedette, as the work space was visible to the public.

Flying boats of any kind are inherently cool, I think. Catalina/Cansos were my favourites.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Dates to remember:

April 22nd - season two of Westworld (yes!  :banana: ) https://youtu.be/qUmfriZoMw0 I can't wait for this to start up...

July 27th - new Mission Impossible https://youtu.be/wb49-oV0F78

I don't care if he is the #1 scientologist...still makes great movies.  The trailer does not disappoint anyway.

Can't think of anything exceptional he has done in at least 10 years.  Edge of Tomorrow was good, but not exceptional.

I thought he was excellent in Magnolia, but that's almost 20 years ago already.

Well...exceptional or not, I still like the MI movies.  If I wanted exceptional I'd watch that one about the smart little girl and Captain America...now she, she was exceptional. And cuter than a puppy too. 

Another date to add- May 25th - the Hans Solo - solo.  https://youtu.be/98-E9jWBizc  We'll see how good someone can play a young Harrison Ford...as long as he doesn't Matt Damon it, it should be good!

...oh...and I think I may have discovered how to slow down time.  It dind't hit me until the moment after I did it...but, whenever I throw my keys on my desk after lunch so that at 4:25 I can start my car...it takes at least 6 hrs from 1-4:30 to get to 4:30.  If I leave the keys in my jacket pocket...it only takes 3 & a 1/2 hours...it's so strange, but I think it must be true.

Sure just saying past 10 years.  Top Gun, Born on the 4th of July, Jerry Maguire, Days of thunder, Rain Man, A Few Good Men are among my favourites of Tom Cruise

He’s such a disk and a stooge for swindlers that I can’t take him seriously or watch him any more.

He was very good in American Made imo.  Vanilla Sky was good as well but that's an oldie now.

A friend's gf works for Audi Winnipeg.  They came over for the superbowl, and she said they have a shipment coming in of FIVE R8s next month.  Over $1,000,000 worth of cars in one shipment.   :o
