Idle chat: wings, waves, wheels…

Sorry, bad idea..
I did work in Kuwait some years ago and remember the ol Emir had 4 wife's, they were all young girls and he kept swapping them out so there was always a fresh one in the stable.
Not sure the American public would have supported the first Gulf War if they knew the Ruler was a pedophile..

(I was the pilot on one of his airplanes, a B-747 operated by Kuwait Airways, but I never flew it with the Emir onboard, that was always the local pilots and they got a good tip every time they flew him, a Rolex, or a new swimming pool, generous guy I guess)

Question for builders or contractors:
How can this be acceptable:
I am building a new house and found out yesterday the floor is NOT flat.
5 days before Certificate of Occupancy and 2 weeks before closing.
Look at this little video clip:
(Am I too picky, or is the builder too casual, OR both?)

Yes, hell has been raised, or at least initiated.
Have not gone nuclear yet, only alerted the Project Manager and the local Dirt. of Ops., as well as the sales lady and told her to forward this little 7 second video to the President/Owner in Lakeland.
I never built a house before and had no idea how incompetent builders and contractors could be.
Flabbergasted is an understatement as we had 4 choices of builders and signed up for the "best" and the "Premier" builder, and had nothing but headaches since day one.
The house is almost done, but the devil is in the details, lots of details

Tried to upload scary pictures but they all are over 1.3mb, which is the limit for this

boards without exceeding da limit?)

New speed record from New York to Miami attempted today, 44' power cat left @ 3am.

It worked, the floors are being torn up today and hopefully repaired, but what a waste of money, manpower and time: It would be so much cheaper and efficient to do it right in the first place..

On a lighter note...

Yup, I will speculate on Free Engines..

Update:
The speeding catamaran with 500R's made it to St. Augustine, then had to scrub it for weather.
Engines ran fine.
Stand by for their you tube update.

Well, that was the story I read this AM.
Should me YouTube trip report coming out soon.

Yup, I went out today and said hello to the squall line, but only got
rain for 10 minutes or so, most of it went North of Norseman, Odin was good.
Getting too old for rain and thunder in a little boat, scrubbed the rest of the
cruise and stayed on dry land thereafter.

Looks like they continued to Miami after all...

Can't imagine my wife even comprehending the question.

(Many years ago she would go anywhere with me on boats, Harleys, airplanes, scuba, etc. )

Good old days,

Sad Sight, what happened?

A Yacht and 2 support vessels in a small Norwegian fjord made headline news.
Looks like one of the support ships carry a submersible.
Is that you HTM09?
