Not weird, we all learned someplace.
In general, a dip tube allows you to siphon from the very bottom of a kettle. Some folks have stands that allow them to drill a valve into the bottom center of a concave-bottomed kettle, which is ideal. For those of us that rest our kettles on a burner...
More Fleet Week. Today we took the helos to Curtis High in Staten Island. The HSC-5 guys make this really easy. Superb dudes.
Go get a #SelfieWithaSailor if you are in NYC.

Making beer and hard cider in Southern Virginia since 2011.
Those tour guys flying single seat with a full load of random tourons in the hornets' nest that is the New York SFRA have a pretty neat job. They all looked 17, but that's because I'm old. It must get old, but I think it would be cool for a while.

Met Bosco in the wee hours of this morning. He is a 10 year old US Navy Malinoit that has done deployments to Afghanisan, Iraq and other similar locations. He is still going strong at ten and looks great for any age. What a great pup.

I think what you found is all the USN has released to the public. On the good side, the pilot can now walk and is otherwise mostly recovered from what were serious orthopedic injuries. He isn't medically cleared to fly yet but his progress has been rapid.
Sorry I don't have more details for...
Sorry; F/A-18E has but one seat. Also, realized after I hit reply that AG 103 is on the bottom of the Atlantic since January. Most unfortunate.

Took a 9V 800ma dc power supply and soldered small alligator clips to it this weekend to try this out. Worked pretty well, if somewhat slowly. I was practicing on the cutout portion of my keggle (the former top with the tap connection in the center) and it initially didn't work on the outside...
