What has four wheels and flies?

A garbage truck.



All of the Garbage trucks that I've seen have dual rear wheels.

Ayup, still in 4th grade...


It was a manure wagon in the original Latin.

change, thank Crom.

"Blackadder" was a BBC comedy shown on PBS.
Hugh Laurie played "Lieutenant George". He's better known as Dr.
House.

I had already been weaned from TV for many years before House came on,
but my friend told me about it and said it was on Netflix. OMG, I
loved that show! What a hoot! RIP, House, MD.

Youtubing Blackadder now...Rowan Atkinson and a laugh track? Sorry,
no way. Monty Python they ain't.

Atkinson didn't impress me as much as Baldrick and Miranda

Ed Huntress, he has lots of flies!

I started tying them just last week. Lots of Light Cahills, a few Dark Hendricksons, sizes 12 through 16, and a few big March Browns and marabou streamers for early season, which is coming soon.

They're not like the ones your neighbors have -- the ones that ride in and out your acreen doors on the backs of the chickens...

Do they still have those things in Europe? I have a not-so-fond memory of riding up a mountain in Switzerland in one, in reverse gear.

What has four wheels and flies?

A garbage truck.

Alrighty then... we both qualify for second grade. So, to kick it up a notch: what starts with "F" and ends with "UCK?"

Frozen fish truck.

Good one, but I was looking for fire truck.


Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

Lack of support under his center of gravity.

Verdun and a host of other places have thousands of them.

Landmines...the gift that keeps on giving.

I never knew you could transport towers via CATV.
Does it require a newer than DOCSIS III modem?

So I got a cylinder from a friend, that is a Avox System 9700 series, 11.0 CU FT 1800 PSI. Which I really really like, but I am confuse about if I have to refill it which O2 should I use, what if I just can not get aviators oxygen?

Aviators oxygen is required to have very low moisture content. At high altitude, excess moisture could freeze and block O2 lines.

Here's an interesting quote I ran across at http://www.c-f-c.com/supportdocs/abo1.htm:
"Also of interest, we have been told by the suppliers of welding oxygen, the purity level required for welding and cutting purposes is more critical than for breathing."

I recall reading 20+ years ago who wanted to avoid aviation O2 prices, and used welding O2.
The fun part was he got the FAA to admit, in writing, that such was within the FAR's and
fully legal.

As a medic who uses "medical" oxygen a lot. You basically have steel
tanks, aluminum tanks and some stainless steel.

Steel are usually higher pressure units, used as vehicle born or
stationary tanks feeding into a manifold. There are steel portable tanks
still out there but they are a dying item. As they fail hydro they are
replaced by aluminum.

Stainless are usually liquid oxygen for hospitals and bulk transport.


And guess which you use in the MRI suite...

BTW, there are also fiberglass O2 bottles. I knew a SF Ranger
who made HAHO insertations. The only metal he carried was
the barrel/receiver of his weapon & ammunition, and that in a
graphite bag to minimize the radar signature. (The boots had no
metal islets, etc.) He described the procedure as "....cold..."

No, DOCSIS didn't exist in the early '80s, so they used 40 axle,
4,000 HP crawlers with a top speed of a couple miles an hour. The trip
took days, and it required shutting down part of State RT 4 in SW Ohio.
The sections of the cooling towers were unloaded from a barge at Delhi
Township. It had to climb some steep hills, then it traveled around
Hamilton Ohio on Bypass 4. It then took St Rt4 to Engele's Corner just
south of Middletown, right onto Oxford State Road, then left onto Yankee
Road where the Air Products plant is located. Overhead utilities had to
be raised, or removed to allow it to pass. Since CATV lines are the
lowest, we had the most physical plant to remove. We had two crews
working with the rigging company. the first removed deops that crossed
the road, just ahead of the crawlers, and the second reinstalled them as
they followed it.
