Could use a carrier with turbo-electric drive right about now.

I get that reference :)
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

It'll be nice to have running water again sometime.

At least the generator is working and I was able to buy gas and water in town today (plus a hot lunch and a few snacks).  Best case for power restoration now is Thursday - the price you pay for living in a low-density rural area.

But at least we've got wifi back (to a degree) while the generator's running...

ugh,
that's quite a bit for you guys.

I live in a rural area, so occasional outages are just...what you expect.
But...3-4 days.

Though our outlying areas can be out for 1-2 weeks.

Greatly relieved to report I have re-entered the 21st century.

Congrats on the return of electrical power.

Now candlelight dinners and BBQ will be by choice :)

Hopefully you didn't restock the freezer yet.

Meanwhile, I have power.  But if people could stop killing each other, that'd be great.

Watched Top Gun: Maverick, have to say it was even better than the original. Lots of cool aviation easter eggs, gorgeous shots, and nice tribute to the real star of the original. Highly recommend you watch it in theater.

So a Tribute to the F-14?

Who else could it be? No "Mig-28s" (best supporting actor) or A-4s unfortunately.

Ironically they could have had this against Iran.....and had F-14s as the bad guys

I won't give the spoilers away, but in the trailer you can see a Su-57.
