I agree, they had a Warthog at an airshow on the base some years back, flew it in a super tight circle, love those GE turbines.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

They'd be great for the Corps if they would get over the whole VTOL requirement for their attack aircraft

Yep!
I remember back when they were just rolling out the Harriers, they did not quite have the “hover” aspect sorted out. When it all went sideways and pilot ejected the plane was inverted so ejection did not go well. They fixed that in a hurry after a mishap or two. I am still partial to the A6!
I was on an amphib, USS Peleliu, usually has Harriers? but they were grounded and back on the beach a lot or all of the deployment, only saw a couple take offs/landings.
Love the A6, almost defies physics with it's payload carrying capability.

We would often times provide security for them in the desert, we would watch them load the wings and we simply could not fathom how it could get off the ground. There was no spare real estate anywhere under the wings!
Cool, yes add that weight to the fuel weight and it's amazing that they could get off the ground. Once while deployed on a carrier they did an "airshow" for the crew, A-6's put up a "Wall of Water" dropping ordnance in a circle, impressive!
Good morning ,a coffee toast to 
all the retirees !

I didn’t say it was as good, I said it was very close. That said, rarely are squeals even close so I’ll give it an A
Hmmm I wonder if this is the problem
Well... the effects of a problem at least. Nice find
That's some unnatural melting there

Wow!
Whatever that purple wire was feeding looks like it might have been drawing some current

It's Seedandelivry Sunday!

First and last are irrelevant if nobody else is in line.
Really need to get the hedge trimmers going here. Maybe today. Maybe not. LOL. I did get one of these recently. Haven't used it yet..

That'll give you some reach .. . I'm still in manual Fiskar mode
I just found an old Black and Decker 18V hedger, guy couldn't find charger for it so was free (I gave him $1). Came with 2 batteries, just got a charger off of Fleabay for cheap. I have a corded one but need to use and front of property so cordless is best.
Yeah but you’d think it’s be blowing fuses. It’s not and contrary to what I thought initially, it’s not popping bulbs. It’s just stopped working . Checking the harness out now
Trying to find a wiring diagram for this has proved tough
Yeah... keep moving upstream... hope you find the source
Oh, hell no! Those are for touch-ups. LOL. I got too much to even keep up with power options. This is my go-to where reach is not an issue. 24" Hedge Hog...
WV Chris observed correctly, and pointed out the obvious.
Ind Chris is making assumptions and jumping to conclusions. Stick to the facts and then you can figure out the why.
You know where there was heat.
You know no fuse opened, but you do not know the circuit? So maybe its not fused? or has a CB? or ?
Certain bulbs stopped working - so now you can figure out the circuit. The bulbs are not damaged, therefore they did not draw excessively high current.

Espresso machine gets the morning off. It got an overnight acetic acid soak, some clear water rinses to come. It's a White Russian morning 
Looks like it is the dimmer switch wire.
