Oh, well the old lady is probably to tough and stringy anyways. :laughing:

If the cat disappeared, it wouldn't be stepping on her Life Alert button anymore, give the local EMT's a break.

I think all this talk of beans in chili is a red herring. Sure, you can put beans in chili just like you put chopped onions and grated cheese. What I've been surprised about is I've heard tomatoes mentioned a couple of times in this thread and true Texas chili has neither tomatoes nor beans. Now, you can fix it anyway that suits you, but a pure Texas bowl-o-red is made from chili paste and course ground beef, no beans nor tomatoes.

Oh yes, if you want to put Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins), or A-1, or ketchup on one of my grilled rib-eye steaks, that is fine. That's also the last time I will cook a rib-eye for you. The next time you come to my house to eat, I'll probably have hamburgers or pork chops. I just refuse to buy the best cuts of meat and cook them perfectly for people to cover with the taste of some sauce. If sauce is what you want to taste, I guarantee you it tastes the same on hamburgers. A perfectly cooked rib-eye or t-bone doused in A-1 is an abomination. You can quote me on that.

Spot on! A good steak, properly cooked should not need anything more than a little salt and pepper, IF THAT.

How long before she was scrapped?

I was with the A-7D a couple years, which was the AF version of the
F-8J. Talk about a vacuum cleaner prone to FOD.

paceron-
The A-7 (Corsair) was an attack aircraft, where the F-8 (Crusader) was a fighter(last of the gunfighters). They were both built by LTV(Vought) so they did look a lot alike, but the A-7 was a much younger and higher tech bird. The F-8 could fly circles around the F-4(Phantom) as it was built for dog-fighting and the F-4 was built to be a fighter/ attach aircraft (no guns). The only armaments we loaded on the Crusader was 20mm Cannons(4) and Sidewinder missles (2-4).

I left Nam for the last time in '71 and at that time the Crusaders had a lot more MIG kills that the Phantom. We in VF-211 had 6 kills and our sister Squadron Vf-24 had 4.

It was a good but old bird and a real hand full in the groove and coming aboard ship, but I still have great memories and a few scars from left from them.

What's wrong with a little deer in your chili?

If its a good cut of meat,cooked medium rare,I wouldn't add anything but when its not,I will ask for the A1...

My wife use to put(too much) A-1 in meat loaf.....I don't let her make meat loaf anymore. About the only thing I use it on, and not very often, is Balonney(sp).

Now that's a place to have kids!! Have'em and 90 days there on their own:thumbsup:

Dave, I have only been to Maine once and I was little, but I do remember allot of big trees! I cant even remember why we went, but it seemed soooo different than the Chesapeake bay area at the time.

A Pilot

I don't think I'd ever tire of this view! However, if you were on this flight, would you want the best pilot that money could buy, or would you want a monkey there working for peanuts?

Hope y'all enjoy this as much as I did!

Great video, and I agree about the pilots. I've worked with Navy Fighter Pilots and a few Commuter line pilots........and I'll take the Navy pilots every time.
