Anything interesting going on in the world today?

It’s also obvious that the “door” is too heavy for the hinge design. 

I’ve seen a video of OceanGate noobs struggling to get it latched likely from misalignment. 
Bent hinge?…..or did the big ring bend a little?   
Hydraulic jack band-aid after the damage.

Same as speculating on aviation accidents?

Nope not the same thing at all imo

Many different studies have confirmed water absorption of all manner of carbon fiber woven or spun.   
What happens when that water freezes?

Had a Huey crash 15 miles away a few days ago that was retrofitted as a crop duster. Saw it on the back of a small 2 axle trailer being towed by a pickup limping back to its origin airport. Tail section was busted but front was intact. Rotors were destroyed. Said mechanical failure was the cause that caused it to come down hard. Pilot was just a little injured but not that bad.

Lots of ironing for many activists who choose to live where the water is not.
 
Now the opposite end of the spectrum going on in Florida ever since army core of engineers cut all those drainage canals across the state.

I worked on my forum this morning. Today I'm mixing the third song of my band's EP/album.

My brother was in town with my nieces and nephew. Saw them Friday. The nephew will surf ALL DAY at Huntington beach if given the chance. He was there all day Friday and some of Saturday.

I just got back from going into the shop because I spotted a door that had been left open on the cameras.

Babysitting a Maltipoo too. She's the cutest little thing! Very smart too. She's a good little dog. she listens and doesn't go running off when I let her into the yard. She sticks around the boundaries and comes when I call. That's a lot different than my baby, Ziggy. He would blast out of here and ignore my arse with no second thoughts. LOL

Icom makes great radios.

I've never used one but they sure look cool. I've always wanted one of those little portable ones that you can put in your car or take with you. They're very small but they have the neatest displays on them. Compact but they do everything.
