I’m pretty sure this isn’t the approved use of a hydration bladder, but it works…
If it’s stupid but works, it ain’t stupid.
One could argue that proper hydration before and after your beer is important…!
But you see- to keep the beer cold you use ice. Which eventually will melt into… what? WATER!
Use that water to hydrate… Solved, NEXT UP!
I guess pro-grade hikers would use frozen margarita to surround their beer and sip through the CamelBak tube…
R32 Skyline, yes? There’s a shop in Richmond that specializes in importing all the fun JDM cars:
I’m an R34 Guy myself… didnt like the R32 looks, and the R33 was ok… but the R34 was the best.
R34 was the best but dang do I love the looks of the R33

I liked the R33’s Looks, but not the performance…
Well, this is the usual sort of view out my hobby room window
But I’m also able to go and look at these, just up the road, whenever the Sun does come out to play:
I’m a lucky guy!
Looks like you retouched those warbird pics…
Are you near Duxford?
Flying “Medevac” has distinct advantages. While most planes along the northeast corridor yesterday were being ground stopped for that line of weather that came through (some being held for up to 3-4 hours!)…ATC worked out a route for us that was better than what we even get on a normal day (HUGO3 MERIL JFK.ORW3)…! Took us just down the east side of the weather and we beat it into Boston. (And then we broke down with a blown current limiter…so spent the night here…)
I didn’t retouch the pics. In fact, I took them with my phone and all I’ve done is resize them to a managable forum size.
I’m not exactly near Duxford - but it isn’t that far, about an hour in the car. But I am near the BBMF - Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, at RAF Coningsby, which is where they were taken (spot the Typhoon tail in the first one). Luckily, I get to see all sorts of exotic stuff, from Spits and Hurricanes and the Lancaster (or two, when the Canadian one was here) to a Catalina, Bird Dogs, a B-17 and stuff I don’t even recognise.
Then, good job! ![]()
I’ll be there’s good fish and chips there!
