In case your tail is wet...

I have just the thing because I occasionally go to auctions:




It is a military helicopter tail rotor cover, purchased for a staggering three dollars. I was willing to invest that sum to satisfy curiosity.  I'm having a little trouble figuring out a practical use for it. So far the only thing that comes to mind is stacking firewood into a truncated replica of a Celtic stone tower and employing it as a cover.



Naaaah. Too much like work.





But maybe the grin alone is worth the three bucks. I mentioned the McNamara 100,000 a little while ago, but darned if I suspected the Army turned them into chopper pilots.

Jeez, what's that thing fit, a Sea King?

I don't know, John. It has some markings which I'll check next time I unfold it. You need a new one for your Sea King?

Not here in the Great American Desert, but perhaps for my Sky King: "Out of the blue of the Western sky..."
