Reading material for tomorrow

[Sparky-(Admin) 26,163]

  Taking 4 flights tomorrow to get to the other side of the world. The longest trip I’ve ever taken, one flight is 16 hours in the air. 
  And this came in the mail today, great timing! Some good reading material! Wish it had a WH on the cover but that’s fine.

16 hours?  Ugh.  My sympathies.

 Yep. Will try to get up and walk around the plane as much as possible.

You should take your picture of you and that magazine on the other side of the world and send it to them 👍🏻

            But wouldn't it be backward or upside down or somethin' like that being on the other side of the world?  ?  ?

You just turn the phone upside down, with screen rotation off, and then when it gets back here it will be right.

  Yeah. Been doing that on flights for years. I’ve taken plenty of 10-13 hours flights in the past. This one leg is 16 hours and is my longest yet. 
  I will be in a sleeper pod so that’ll help being able to lay completely flat, won’t be sitting upright for 16 hours.

 And it’s an overnight flight so hoping to zonk-out!

Gotta love the red-eye flights. I've done a few...

Before I retired I had a lot of long flights.  I spent a lot of time in the rear of the planes doing jumping jacks and squat thrusts.  Some of the flight attendants would join in.

 

My carry on was an aluminum case containing my equipment to install strain guages.   It contained exacto knives, bottles of acetone and MEK, epoxy adhesives,  and electronic equipment.     Wonder if I would be allowed on board today?

I measured torque, thrust, and strain on large hydro turbine equipment that was showing signs of failure.

You could explain until blue in the face as they confiscate all your stuff and put you on a watch list!

My son likely came in behind you when they were shut down, refurbished and re-stared. Several weeks but more than often a couple or a few months process. He seemed to enjoy the work but the travel and amount of time in the field got old.
