We're having a chinook. Snow is disappearing quickly!!

Is that why all the way over here we have no worry of this deluge to turn back to ice? Hmm?

[Lady's Human]

Okay, no Chinooks allowed.

(Yes, I know what a Chinook is in term of weather, but...)

Chinooks are the US Army's heavy lift helicopters. They are maintenance intensive, and prone to in flight issues. Given that a GOOD helicopter diesn't fly, but beats the air into submission, and defies natural law to do so, chinooks are NOT allowed in the bar.

A crew chief on one, when asked about the barrel of hydraulic fluid in the rear of the bird, pointed up to the mid-shaft synchronizing gearbox and said "See that? When is stops leaking, we stop flying. We give it a few pumps of fluid during flight to keep it leaking."

Ok, no Chinooks in the bar. But the one outside has eaten up pretty much all the snow we've had. Warm and windy again tomorrow. Forecast calling for snow Saturday. Seeing as it's so nice could I get an iced tea tonight rather than hot tea.

You can certainly have an iced tea, I can't, however, promise that it will be without a noseprint or two. Angel LIKES ice cubes.
