Sure is quiet around here.

[Delmonico]

Still ice the wings, can't take off, runway very icy also.      Oh well if it wern't icy would have to fly a plumber to Virginny.  

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Keep on yapping, Del, and your head will look like this!

But I'm bored, my runway is iced up, they even closed the store early.  Course nobody was comin' in anyway.      I got us a new International Airport to fly our Cyber-Lear Jet to.      Got the cordinates found and plugged in ta the compooper for the Otto-pyliot.  Whats really cool is that this town it's at, I know every one that lives in it.  We must fly to see it, it is a really cool airport, I been lookin' at it on the saddle-lite picture.

[Scattered Thumbs]

maybe you should use an elephant instead of the jet.     Huh?  ...  wait a minute ... It's not elephant that I mean . It's one of them gizmos with the prrroppellers on top. an.. heli.... hali...   an helicomputer. Yes! That's it! An helicomputer . You won't need a runway with one of those.

[Delmonico]

I got one a dem fancy egg-beater things in tha back-yard, but we can't fly it right now cause I don't have a cotter-pin for the "OH Poop Nut".    Ya don't want ta fly one a them contrapions with out the "Oh Poop Nut" torqued down to the proper specs and a cotter key of the regulation size in place.  

No one has one here in town the right size, even called my nephew that works at Westlake Hardware and they don't have any either.   Sides that it is starten to snow pretty good here and it was still drizzlin' and freezin' not good weather to be flyin' an egg-beater in even if yer "Oh Poop Nut" is properly torqued down and cotter pinned in place.

[Forty Rod]

Del, tip that sucker up about 90 degrees and fire it up.

Makes a terrific snow blower and you can use the exhaust to melt ice.

Hold on tight, though, or it'll eat your neighbor's fence (and porch, barn, dog house, etc.) if'n it gets loose.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I go on vacation and y'all make such a ruckus. 

Slim

[Silver Creek Slim]

Read it, it says "Tall Tale", a teller of tall talls is an honorble callin'.      The others you mention ain't and we skould keep them out of our forum.     But that is why we have Slim as our moderator.   

"All Hail Silver Creek Slim" our protector. 

Delmonico then post's this and is seen headin' to the gun room with a 25 pound bag of Anise seed.

Aw shucks. 

Slim

[Delmonico]

I bet Slim don't know what the "Oh Poop" nut on a helly-copter is.   Forty Rod, Yes that's the one, I know you guys don't call it an "Oh Poop" nut, but this is a pretty clean place around here.

That's the nut that keeps the router on the shaft?

Slim

[Delmonico]

If ya mean rotor, yep it is, if it comes off while flyin' all you can do is say "Oh Poop."

[Silver Creek Slim]

Router



Rotor



Slim

[Delmonico]

I wern't gonna say nuthin'.   

Did you notice yer rotor has a hand tighten "Oh Poop" nut and no cotter key or safety wyre.

Somebody's gonna end up sayin' "Oh Poop."

[Forty Rod]

Without that whirly thang on top, them heliochoppers got the same glide characteristics as a brick. 
Not a lot better with it. 

Rode one on oughtta rotate into a rice puddle in Vietnam once.

Not my idea of a fun time.

Hits a LOT harder than I like, even with that thang whirlin' up there.

Did you know when the motor stops you can hear blood movin' through your veins, and the loudest sound in the universe is your bung hole slammin' shut?     

[Delmonico]

Nother friend of mine that took a similar ride inta a rice paddy told me almost the same thing.

Saw a thing one time on the A-10 and a guy that brought back one in bad shape in 91, he said the pucker factor is really bad, fact is he said they never did find the seat cushion of his A-10.

[Forty Rod]

if they ever do, it'll be sqaushed down to the size of a jelly bean. 

[Delmonico]

I bet that helly-copter ride seemed like it took two hours.

[Forty Rod]

The pucker factor went from a six or seven up to six digits almost instantly. 

[Silver Creek Slim]

It calmed down here a bit, agin. 

Slim

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

It picked up in the Longbranch, but Slim is ignoring it!
