Dancing with Fed-X turned into a marathon as I had expected they would arrive at around midday and then I could get some sleep before the shows later in the afternoon (US) / evening (Germany).
Fed-X still wasn't here by 20 o'clock but I was thinking by then don't go Frank the Buster on him as he has probably had one really shitty day to be coming by this late. So dancing with Fed-X did finally produce a working Digitech Vocalist here.
But that wasn't the big dance as I had to watch "Patton" because of the Vocalist or, more accurately, because of the laptop.
(Ed: I may be wrong but I don't think Patton had a laptop in WWII)
Quite so but the question is about strategy and tactics as selling the laptop to replace the looper is a major tactical decision and possibly even a strategic decision.
(Ed: So you watch a brilliant tactician for inspiration?)
Nah, I watch a lunatic to find what became of him when he did lunatic things (i.e. often).
(Ed: that doesn't sound like much of a dance)
It wasn't as the actual dance was with a Heinckel bomber.
(Ed: I'm no military historian but I'm sure Patton was not on the team with the Heinckel bombers)
Right you but there was an aircraft in the movie which was to be used to ferry Rommel around and I wasn't sure if it was a Heinckel or a Dornier. It's important to be able to identify the aircraft if you will be an effective coast watcher to do your bit for defense.
(Ed: this was the dance?)
No, this is what started the dance.
The basic mission was covered quickly as the aircraft was a Heinckel and you can identify those ones easily because they are much like the homes for the rich in the hills overlooking San Francisco in which every wall has a plate glass window. The cockpit for the Heinckel aircraft typically had more glass around it than any other type of aircraft I've ever seen. So now you know and you can be a good coast watcher too.
But the dance began on seeing the Heinckel 280 and learning it was the first German jet aircraft. Maybe you're asking what about the Messerschmidt 262 and it was famous but it wasn't first. Heinckel started building the prototype for jet aircraft in 1939 but the company never managed to build a really effective jet motor for it. (WIKI: Heinckel 280)
(Ed: please let this be the dance part)
You are in luck as what I discovered is these manufacturers weren't even the only ones working on jet motors as Junkers and Dornier were doing it as well. The surprise for me wasn't that Germany built a jet aircraft as anyone who ever listened to Blue Öyster Cult already knew that but rather the surprise was that practically all of the major manufacturers in Germany were building them. My impression had been this was some rare technology but the reality is they were all doing it.
Well, maybe you don't find that interesting but I promise it's a whole lot more interesting than waiting for a package.
