I spent about 3 months in Baja over 2 years .....I can piece enough together if they don't talk too fast to figure out what they want .
I can order food , drink , fuel , and a restroom reasonably well .
Having once crawled around inside a Lancaster , lusted after a D18 Beech , had a Colts 1860 kind of admiration for the graceful lines of the B17E and later that was beautiful in spite of the scaling issues in the cockpit and windscreens . I don't know that there is really a way around it though .

Like Spanish, Japanese is noun-verb selection. As a result, tech manuals written by Japanese engineers for english speakers can be difficult to comprehend. While the words are english, the sentences sometimes have to be read from end to beginning or right to left. I used to have to translate Japanese-English into English for my fellow Sony engineers.

odd bit.
chamois used to be hunted for their meat and then later their skin was used to make the white gloves carriage foots man used to wear.
it was never intended as a water sopper upper rag, the foots men just noticed their gloves done a good job at doing that, and the extra skin become the chamois rags in later years.
split sheepskin is used now days.

Yep, and not the top grain, but the interlayer.

First time I've seen an eagle up close. Coming back from Springfield, MO on Sunday evening, eagle was chowin' down on a road kill. Took off as we approached and flew along about 20' in front of the windshield for 60 feet or so. Bright white head, bright white tail and about a 3' wingspan. Very impressive.

Just because the world is changing does not mean that I have to accept it and "join". There have been many times when my stubbornness and principles have made my life less than easy, and I'm sure there will be many more to come.
There was an old cigarette (Parliament?) television and magazine advertizement tag line, "I'd rather fight than switch", and showed a guy with a hugh black eye. I don't fight to get a literal black eye, but I'll not "join" just because.
