I cry my eyes out every time I watch this scene. It breaks my heart to see a couple of really exquisite LePage Moutier dueling pistols thrown in the dirt!
My dad was stationed at Edwards, switched from Navy for the X-15 project. His part was adapting the B52 wing for carrying the X-15. Once they had that ironed out,and it would drop reliably, he switched over to finishing the trials for the B-58. They built a special hangar to fit the tail of that thing, which was the talk of the base neighborhoods. One day he came home with two flat jars of some absolutely foul smelling pudding-like substances. He mixed some up, and I used it sparingly for a model I was building. Phew, absolutely evil. I don’t know what he used it for at home, called it “epoxy” said it was a new type of glue, and that it was used to repair wing damage on then-58,, and went on to explain how parts of th wing and tail planes were honeycomb. Both he glue and the honeycomb were a new line of thinking. Wing damage, by the way, was from idiot E-4’s pushing it into the hanger and catching a wing tip. This was all pre-1960, and I was just a 3d grader. We left for Alaska in May or June of 60.

The Big Country, one of my all time favorite Western movies. Those are Gentleman’s Pistols.
Its a Big Country.
We go to Somerset a couple times a year. If you are within a couple hours drive I recommend you go.
Earlier in the year we went and saw them advertising this event. My wife said that she hoped they were actually going to do the stunt but more than likely it was going to be an RC car. We didn't go because I had work to get done.
“Glue” like this is stronger than spot welding the chassis together. There’s more surface area connecting pieces with glue than a weld. Pieces that are spot welded then clamped and pulled apart just pop apart at the welds while the glued pieces tear the metal itself apart
He’s the man. Proud to say he’s my (Louisiana) Senator. Wish we had 60 more just like him
A few of his quotes…..
I would rather drink weedkiller than support Obamacare.

I think we need more idiot control.

If you believe that tax policy has nothing to do with the economy, then you’re pretty much like a rock, only dumber.

Finally
Beto’s copy of the Bill of Rights goes from one to three. Mine includes the Second Amendment. But there are a whole host of people here in Washington… they would be happy to confiscate America’s guns. And if you don’t believe that, then you probably also still believe in Bigfoot.

Dolly has teamed up with Motley Crue to record Home Sweet Home.
Sounds like Dolly’s parts are just overlaid on an old track… no way Vince has pipes like that any more.
Would love to be proven wrong.
Edit: here’s the video:
Dolly can still belt out the tunes. She's incredible. I read an article on the collaboration and she said that she had a great time working with them. Talk about a culture clash. The Crue are all grown up and family guys now but they are still polar opposites from Dolly.
We were going to see Motley Crue in Cincinnati a little while ago then we saw the ticket prices. Add in travel and hotel and it wasn't worth it.
