Even more fun to see in person/do! A couple of the old mining towns near here used to have Anvil Lunching on Independence Day. Seeing large chunks of steel flying through the air trailing smoke is definitely cool.

Are you thinking of the An-225 Mriya? It was 1 of 1 the Ruskies destroyed in Ukraine.
AN-124 vs. the AN-225 in that other pic… Think only two of those 6-engine/twin tailed AN-225s were ever built.
AN-124 is like a Boeing 747 (ish) with 1960s era cockpits:

Must not be any sloped roofs at the Ryder Cup….
Looks like they used Howard Hughes's blueprints of the Spruce Goose to build that thing.
I remember grabbing handfuls of napkins from the chow hall when payday was not soon. I don’t know when moral flexibility training started, but by my EAS, it was ingrained.
I’d try intense heat. Ruth’s Chris cooks steaks at around 1,000 degrees. If it’s a tough cut then go for low and slow. A tender cut gets put on blast. Just my $.02
If you have a costco business near you, they have halal beef - grass fed from new Zealand- it's not as tender as corn fed but it's a much better option for me.
It's crushed limestone, basically the same stuff they used to make fenceposts out of. It's never crushed uniformly, so there are chunks up to basketball size to fine powder in all stages of embedment in the road. They can't grade it unless it is wet, so in period of drought, which we have often, it gets very rough, as there are spots on the road where the rock is still solid, and spots that are pulverized into potholes filled with loose dust. When it regularly rains hard it stays pretty good. If there is ice, snow, or slow rains, it gets so mucky it will build up in your wheel wells to the point it rubs on your tires. Given this is Western Kansas, it's bad 90% of the time, but in northwest Kansas, it's abundant and cheap to use, so it's everywhere. I have to drive miles of it every day to get to town. It's the reason my fun vehicle is a Jeep instead of a motorcycle. Even with that, the various sizes of small rocks they drag to the surface every time they grade it get flung everywhere whether it's passing other cars on the road or simply grabbed by the tire tread and chucked all over the place. It's awful, and I despise it. I would vastly prefer just dirt roads.
And not allowed to shoot the golf balls would really suck.
Besides not wanting to sit in front of him....
Isn't he dressed a tad Timmie? I mean golf clothes would be camouflage.
Same thing in central Ks, the Flint Hills. The difference is even though we use limestone, there is such a thing as “creek” or “river” gravel. Brought out of the hills by rains and deposited in slow spots, truly is flint rock.
Lasts forever but hell on tires.
Just had a 100 year anniversary of the local blacksmith shop (yes, they do still exist) they launched some for show. It was a day long party. Same family still owns and runs it.
Impress your old lady with these screamin’ set of slant 6 headers. Cash checks and snap necks when they hear the sound of your grocery getter comin’ out of the Walmart.
All around NC, gravel is crushed granite. In TN they use some limestone for driveways and such.
I use what is called ABC or Road Base for any areas that may wash when it rains like the steep parts of my nearly a mile driveway. ABC is crushed granite sand mixed with mostly flatter stone up to 2” or so.
Once in place and packed, it stays put pretty well. Steep parts get a crown maintained so water runs off the sides rather than down the drive. Washed 57 stone for the rest that isn’t as prone to runoff.
I use the box blade or rake on it about 4 times a year to keep it nice.

A sign posted in D.C. They want Hegseth to give U.S. generals a PT test!
