We have them at the school where I work. Some are cutaways. A couple LM2500 engines and an Allison. The engineering involved is just insane. A layperson has no concept. Impressive even for an engineer.
-
We teach a gas turbine course for ships at the school. The dude who teaches it is incredible, and I always ask him his thoughts on failures when they occur. He is from the aviation industry, but the engine is the same on a GT powered ship.
-
But you get to see how a gas turbine engine works with the outer skin removed.
-
Holy fuuck. NO. Unless the booze cart happened to be within arms length at the time.
-
That late Feb sun doe, and temps in the 50s.
-
If winter ends after tomorrow I wont miss it. Not that it has been satisfying at all really, but it has seemed long and really quite unproductive given the HL pattern.
-
It won't be long, my friends.
-
Well damn, not something you see everyday.
-
HRRR says 15 here for a morning low. 3km NAM says 23 lol. Based on the history of this winter, I predict 20, which keeps the streak of no temps in the teens here alive.
-
Wind really kicked up a few notches here in the last few mins. The remaining ice on the top tree branches came crashing down lol.
-
Go for it. It is an experience. And you wont be drinking it fast lol. Sipper.
-
You there?
-
Looks like the high here was 31. Temp down to 30 now.
-
Well hell, I think it is about time for an IPA!
-
Might wanna try the DFH 120 Min IPA if you never have. Beware, it is a totally different beast as IPAs go.
-
Anyone wanna head down and skate amongst the trees? My non tidal wetland is frozen and as expansive as I have seen it this time of year. I better order an extra container of larvacide.

Yeah I have seen the difference driving up to Westminster and then heading north towards Littlestown or Gettysburg and seeing the difference as you get north of Westminster, mainly with marginal events.
-
Yeah I was just outside walking around the yard atop the glacier. Kinda cool but definitely slick.
-
I lived on a local high spot when I was up there, on the east edge of Parrs, north of 26 and south of 32, and very close to to 97. Around 850 feet iirc. My memories of summers there were plenty of heat and humidity, but I suppose being a bit further north and a couple hundred feet higher can make some difference.
-
Cool breeze might be taking it a bit far lol. There are no 'cool' breezes with temps in the 80s in July.. But any breeze is good when it's warm and humid as a mofo.
-
I think stumbling/slipping/falling will occur easy enough without any adult beverage consumption lol.
-
Thinking about going on a hike, but man this stuff is dense and slick. You literally walk on top.
-
Beautiful day. Cold, bright, blue skies, and some actual wind. Wintry look and feel. Refreshing after so many cloudy, gray, foggy days with almost no air movement.
-
Yeah it's nearly impossible to eradicate all the small areas where water sits in that setting. If you want to try to in your yard, other than the dunkers, this is the pro stuff- https://www.domyown.com/altosid-prog-mosquito-larvicide-p-243.html

If I move, and I hope to in the near future, I am going high elevation micro climate if I stay at this latitude.
