I don't know what I'd do during the rest of the year if I didn't have classic B1G games to keep me going.
Is that sad?

do you actually do while flying? This is not a slight at all, my wife and I just took my son to Disney World. Neither of us fly very much so of course to us there was a 50-50 shot that we were going to die in a horrendous crash.. We just got to talking about what pilots actually do and what is basically "done for them" if you will. Obviously you manually take off and land, do you manually steer and drive the plane in the event of conditions causing turbulance? Do you make that call or does air traffic control? Could my pilot have actually been playing Fruit Ninja the entire way to Florida and it would not have made a difference? Give me the scoop.

I'll give you my perspective. On the type of flights that compare to what airliners do, the busiest time is actually on the ground it seems, especially on the busier airports. Chicago is a nightmare. You manually fly the take off and generally the departure procedure up to altitude. But in the air, the autopilot does much of the "up in the air" work, pilots are talking on the radios, deconflicting with other airplanes, listening to other transmissions, checking on weather, making sure you stay on course (cus a computer controls the AP, and those are prone to mistakes once in a while). Once into the arrival phase, its manual flying for the most part...running checklists, reviewing the approach procedures. It is not a crazy busy time at altitude, but there's plenty to keep things moving along and keep you from getting bored.

and used it as an example of the busiest place I've been. Went there for a Presidential support mission, so even then we were treated with kid gloves.

If I could have a panda come in the office and do this... that would be great...
August 22nd, 2014 at 7:58 AM ^
This reminded me of one of my favorite Super Bowl commercials ever.

That is one pissed off panda. Somebody get him some bamboo and coconut water.
Bring on the season. I'm excited to be able to go to the ND game with a bunch of friends.

It seems like it took forever, but football season is nearly upon us again, and indeed, along with it comes come my favorite weather and my favorite team. So far, my wife has still said she will guest mod the Miami (OH) game, so that should be interesting.
My daughter is actually going on a short trip with the in-laws to the west side of the state, and as my wife is working much of the weekend, it will be me and my son around the house and about as well, probably eating pizza and watching sports.
Tonight and tomorrow, there might be a little front-end cleanup of some of the not-so-hot threads from the last few days to maximize the amount of football related content on the first few pages as the deadline passes for OT. I might also make some sort of note in the top OT thread around 11 PM on Saturday night to warn people one last time too.

Up early for up voting all who've posted before me . . . . and for some music from the boys from Liverpool (No, NOT Mario Balotelli, for those of us who've already enjoyed the opening of the Barclays Premier League season last week)
