Yeah, what he said, especially if there are chopped red onions to go with the ham and bean soup!!!

Home-made chili beans, made with some pinto's soaked for 24 hours, and a little Tri-tip, white onion, tad bit of garlic, hamburger...THAT'S what goes well with cornbread!

I remember reading about this laser system 15 years ago. It recieved 3 pages in the "Future Warplanes" book I have which was published around the 90s I think. Funny to see them get it going.

What rock did you crawl out from Choocha?

Holy Karma, Batman!
I was called into my boss's office today. I was name the senior project manager for a 767 tanker IT project and am officially "on loan" to the program! (it is an IT project) That's all I can say now, except that I am a bit excited, a bit nervous and can't wait for the next 90 days to transpire!:aok
