The Ace Tomato Company
@acetomatocompany.bsky.social
A left-wing mob of cybernetically enhanced coyotes into all manner of ill shit.

Actually, it's just one retired (emphasis on tired) squid with a serious phobia related to random wires sticking out of the ground and a love of flying and airplanes.
Aaaaaand that's enough aviation internet for the day.

I have a couple of Omegas. One 1861 Speedmaster, a Gray Side of the Moon with the meteorite dial (took my wife to Tiffany for Christmas last year in Tokyo, she took me to the Omega boutique,) and an X-33 I usually wear on a NATO.

Ancient Omega? Pictures?

(Please forgive the watch nerd.)

Got this in Boot in '93. Wore it until it got smashed by an aircraft part falling on my arm. Saved the pieces and eventually fixed it with donor parts.

Good lord, I'm an absolute idiot for watches like this.

My grandfather purchased a Rolex on base in Germany in the early '50s. He then gave it to my uncle, and my mom gave it to me after he passed. Had it restored and will be giving it to my nephew when he graduates from college.

Mainly Jesus and my hotrod

Images from the NTSB preliminary investigation into the UPS MD-11 crash.

The entirety of the report is worth reading. As a former helicopter mechanic, catastrophic material failures are some scary stuff.

I seriously can't stop laughing at these idiots.

One of these behemoths.

Rear shocks were blown so you'd sort of bounce down the freeway like you were in a small boat. It spent several years before coming to me parked halfway under a carport.

Left side of the car? Paint was flawless. Right side? Absolute carnage.

Thrift store find.

I'd be curious what became of ARM2c Cobb.

FNA-9 is 1950s vintage, came with the original sleeve.

I <3 pilots.

When you're opining that McCarthy wasn't a despicable opportunistic predator who only served himself, you may want to consult with your doctor to see if shutting the fuck up is right for you.

Which, in this case, I guarantee is a good idea.

Happy Birthday to all my Marine friends.

Red is still the best flavor.

If anyone has a podcast and wants to talk about proliferation, stockpile maintenance, and design?

To quote DMX: "Man, y'all gonna make me lose my mind up in here."
