Subject: F900, S/N 087 – Water System Heat Tape Ops Check

 

Todd;  Please see the attached info regarding the ops check of the water system heat tapes. The reference in the Water System Manual has always been and still is to simply verify that they are working properly. There has never been a formal ops check procedure written for this. The operators are supposed to write up their own procedure using the data from Electrofilm, the tape manufacturer. I have verified that even in our more recent water system info in the supplemental maintenance manuals for the newer aircraft, this info still applies.

I know this is not what you expected and I didn’t either, for that matter.

This 21 year old womans get it.

Subject: WRITTEN BY A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE FROM TEXAS   This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it.  It’s her future
she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big
government state that she’s being forced to live in!  These solutions are
just common sense in her opinion.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX, Nov 18, 2011

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash
for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women
Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we’ll test
recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing.  Ever live in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair.
Your home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried.  If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week
or you will report to a “government” job.  It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you.  We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all  of
the above is voluntary.  If you want our money, accept our rules.  Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at
least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices.  The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE!  Yes, that is correct.  For you to vote would be a conflict of interest.  You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check.  If you want to vote, then get a job.

Now, if you have the guts – PASS IT ON…
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET THIS BACK, IF EVERYONE SENDS IT,
I WILL GET OVER 220 BACK!!!  I WOULD KNOW YOU SENT IT ON!!!

Here are the options for a “Sniffer” under linux

GTKTerm turned out to be the easiest way to read the stream

Here is a stream when the GPS is locked
