especially if you're after speed... the guy is super fast... and his meter is dead on. I don't know how drummers can be that fast... not even after years of practice. I believe it's a natural gift that one can get better at but basically - you're born with it or you're not.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
That's usually the case, in fact, when this happens. As I've said before... I'm that person that needs to apologize to bands that have recorded big hits or at least got radio airplay. I have never paid enough attention to 'names', not for the name of the band OR the name of the songs. There are a lot of exceptions, for sure, but many bands and songs I've loved over the years I know well buby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
for those who believe the Rams will have a worse W-L record. That makes sense... BUT... ain't it beyond great to know that the rest of the teams in the NFL go into a game with the Rams knowing they have their hands full? :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Who said, "ever think the world is a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes?". :laughing That's how this thread makes me feel... I've never heard of "Triumph". Not even after Iowa hummed a few bars. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Over the years I've posted many times that I prefer tough schedules... believing that it makes YOU a tougher and a better team.. plus better preparing you for the playoffs. But wow, this year I think it's beyond what's required to toughen up and prepare.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

they dubbed his voice. It didn't work at ALL.... but you're right... it was great in Top Gun. Can't remember the name of the film where they dubbed his voice... Norwegian film I think, at least it was filmed in Norway... murder mystery, not very good.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I didn't realize that was the accident you were referring too. Yeah, I read the final report on that one. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
because in a P51, or any race plane... when you have a failure of any kind the first course of action is to gain altitude... in a P51, at their speeds, that's pretty much straight up. Of course it could have been, probably was, the mechanical failure that caused the immediate steep climb in which case you ain't never gaining control again. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
and I agree. There are 4 games every Sat. starting at 1pm.. then every 2 hours. Original forecast was for it to be 112º... that's too hot. High school game on Friday night is still on but that doesn't start until 8:30pm, (normally at 7pm), and the temp at that time will be under 100º. Supposed to hit 113º on Monday and Tuesday... think I'll stay inside. I used to be tougher, when stillby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I can't watch those, where a death occurs. In 1994 the pilot I worked for at the Reno air races was involved in a mid-air collision that took the life of - not exactly a friend but a guy I knew well... the video is on YouTube but I've never seen it... never will. Jerry, the pilot I worked for, landed safely BTW. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
and this is based on nothing more than emotion - both O and D started games slower than they should have... with the D getting it together a bit more quickly. By the 2nd half I saw the two units as pretty even... both good. I've never gotten over being mostly a "D" kinda guy since those fearsome foursome days... so admittedly I tend to credit wins mostly to the D... which obviouby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
that Robert Shaw is one of those few actors that I thought was great in every role I ever saw him play. While the entire cast of Jaws was perfect in that movie I believe Shaw the finest actor, and by far. I couldn't answer your question so see if you can answer mine. Without looking... who is Emmet Walsh and name one role you saw him play. I ask about him because he's one of my all time fby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
been a long time since my flight training days AND my last flight... so bear with me here: Low airspeed - high pitch - buffeting - stall warning - poor flight control response - pretty sure there's a couple more but hey, I'm old. :laughing It's actually pretty easy to recognize... the only surprise being if you're not aware that it can occur at any airspeed... IOW... your cruising along atby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
hit the field running, so to speak. Seems to me they take forever to warm up.... both O and D.... although I admit that's at least partially due to my anxiety. 4th Qtr comebacks are thrilling, cannot deny that.... but it also lowers your lifespan some 20-30 years. Your a Doc, you should have known that.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but the fact is last year gave us more than enough nail-biters. Should be more wins by big margins, as RFL desires. While I agree with his list of things that need improvement it's the D giving up too many 3rd and longs that bother me the most. I can remember a time when I could be somewhat relaxed on when our D had to stop a 3rd and long but that hasn't been the case now for so long thatby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
40º on a Cessna 172.... which I believe is the same for nearly every single engine. No slats or speed brakes, no need - although I guess maybe on some of the newer planes. Yes to trim.... every single engine I ever flew and I think on all of them. Most instructors I have known say trim is the least used by beginner pilots... which is a little odd because without using trim on long flights youby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I think it was you that mentioned sometime back about the hilarity and frustration of open auditions for band members? Someone should make a documentary about that... buy a small and fake ad for a band audition and then film the auditions.... I think it would rival "Spinal Tap" for hilarity. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
with some of the small planes and in the right conditions. I mentioned before that the first somewhat large airport I landed at was Monterey... I was so anxious about making that first taxiway I was nearly stopped before I had cross the runway numbers. I had to actually go full throttle and take off and land again to GET to the taxiway. :laughing I've made landing in headwinds where I reallby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

It just required lowering the nose... the only truly scary thing about it was how fast the stall was developing... I had to be VERY quick. I went from no stall warning to wing buffering in maybe 2 seconds. Actually I believe I noticed the wings losing lift before I noticed the stall warning buzzer. Won't repeat my plane crash story but just mention that as "co-pilot" in that crashby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
As for The Hidden Fortress... like I said, I'm not recommending it... even though I think it's great. Japanese culture, as you know, is VERY different than ours... just a guess but I don't think their story telling plays that well here in the USA... and also, like I said, I think you need some interest in film making itself to fully appreciate it. Mistakes in movies... that comes up often ifby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Think I posted that I watched a Kurosawa film, (The Hidden Fortress), a couple of nights ago? Anyway... loved it, but it's appeal is probably mostly for those of us who like 'film making' as much as the story of the film itself. Not recommending the movie... my point: After the film I watched a few youtube videos where famous directors discussed Kurosawa, the Japanese film maker, and his conby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
If you're wondering how I placed myself in that predicament - I had taken off from Napa in the strongest cross winds I had ever flown in... actually got a stall warning on takeoff.... so anxiety had set in immediately... then on top of that - A 747 on approach to SF flew right over me which, as I'm sure you know, is BAD for small planes... wingtip vortices! So by the time I was at altituby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
You're talking about the original, I hope? Yeah.. Jaws in 3D would be outstanding.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I'd need one of those relief bags pilots use. Which brings up a short anecdote, (of course)... My first long cross country flight while training for my pilots license I had to make an emergency pee landing. I was headed home from Napa, Calif. and I knew I wasn't going to make it. First thing I did, obviously, was look around for anything I could pee in.... even though I knew there wasn't aby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I bought it when it first became available because some members of my family LOVED the first one and I wanted to invite them over for a fun evening of snacks and beverages and a good movie. So it was a long wait having stayed in the theaters for a LONG time..... long for these days that is.
