Hail season has officially started. It hailed for approx. 30 minutes straight. I've never seen hail last even close to that long. 5-10 minutes tops with 10 minutes seeming like an eternity before. It dropped the ambient temps 20° in less than that time. Not sure how much damage but I believe minimal, at least in my direct vicinity.

The hail from last year, shown at bottom, got everyone in my 'hood a new roof and did a lot of damage. Still replacing roofs today and this was 9 months ago.

Nowhere near the volume as today. Although this storm lasted what seemed an eternity at around 10 mins.

Wow! To state the obvious,that is a Lot of hail!

 

[Jefe's Dope]

I remember some pretty good hail storms when I lived in Pueblo West, not so much up here in the Vail Valley but it will not stop snowing.

 

[Jefe's Dope]

I'm waiting for it all to melt. The South Platte by me hasn't risen an inch yet. Gonna be one hell of a rafting season. At least here at the beginning.

Is it any good?

Sorry mate, can't find any info on it other than that pic. Not likely to find it down here in Aus.
Actually looking further I just found this https://leadslingerswhiskey.com/

That happened twice during the years I worked the B-1B.
Tail number 85-0084. Had a bad aft fuel tank fuel fill valve.

We transferred fuel forward until the nose came back down and ran the CG way forward. Defueled the aircraft and replaced the part.
The fill valve diaphragm got a hole in it and fuel siphoned aft until it sat on its tail.
Easy fix, but a shit ton of hours to prep it.

NDI showed no damage to the structure, just minor damage to the tail cone.

Towed decoy system wasn't in use when that happened.
No damage other than the tail cone.

Takes longer to get the cone on the stand for replacement than the actual job does.

The key to refueling properly is IF the crew chiefs do their primary and secondary checks on the float valve solenoids.

Two solenoids, two windings per solenoid. Lots of redundancy.

Continuous fuel flow into any tank with the switch in one of the four test positions shows a problem.
I can guarantee that the checks weren't done. It takes two minutes to check and this would have been caught before it happened.

Pure fucking laziness.

This is why we always said, "I'd rather have a sister in a whore house than a crew chief brother."

Crew chief = Goober and Gomer at the fillin station.

Other than your brain, the trigger guard seems to be the most important safety feature built into a gun. Pretty much standard on every gun made since the started making guns.

Except the ones that people kept shooting their dicks off with...

Remington

S&W

Colt

And more... assortment of spur trigger revolvers.

Then the Fitzgerald Specials which were all the rage with some of the FBI guys back in the '50s...

The FitzGerald Special

A grand gun from a grand old man of sixgunning, Mr. J.H. FitzGerald. By Sheriff Jim

www.shootingtimes.com

And my personal favorite... the Welrod....

So lots of guns went without trigger guards... even after the dawn of gun time.

Then again, to the OP's point... lots of people probably shot their dicks off with them!

Ah ha hs haha hah aha ha ha hah ha ha ha!

Russian hailstones.....

Looks like an apocalypse but it’s the hail that crushed on several regions of Dagestan. The power of nature destroyed trees and harvest. Some pieces of ice are ball-sized and probably may even kill someone.

The Cthulhu Mythos. Where else would you expect it to be.

Got an address for Cthulhu and the city of R'lyeh? Getting hungry after reading that menu.....

Somewhere between Alpha Centauri and Sacramento there's a small, out-of-the-way gas station. There's the signpost up ahead: "Welcome to Cthulhu Mythos."

P.S. If you were stationed in the Pacific in the early '80s you should get the reference.
