Also, if you lift parallel to the joists, you can gain some headroom.

:hmm:

That's why I have the 93" recorded, to neatly slot between them. 93 - 85.5 = 7.5. Minus .75 for the floor matting, it's now 6.75. A full sized plate is 9" radius.

so you are still three inch short?

 

[sdifox]

lifting is a lot harder if you can't lock your elbow

 

[MotF Bane]

I could probably expand the floor space, leave the rack cornered, and block off the natural gas pipe to protect it. The bag could hang right under that, as long as it's sufficiently protected, i.e. a wooden box or metal shielding.

 

[MotF Bane]

Yep. Three measly inches of ceiling height.

 

[MotF Bane]

No kidding. Smashing into the ceiling will get old real fast.

 

[sdifox]

you could just do clean and jerk

 

[MotF Bane]

Nef.

Still has pretty much the same maximum height.

"We trained for a year, flying out of Beale AFB in California , Kadena Airbase in Okinawa, and RAF Mildenhall in England . On a typical training mission, we would take off near Sacramento, refuel over Nevada, accelerate into Montana, obtain high Mach over Colorado, turn right over New Mexico, speed across the Los Angeles Basin, run up the West Coast, turn right at Seattle, then return to Beale. Total flight time: two hours and 40 minutes.
One day, high above Arizona , we were monitoring the radio traffic of all the mortal airplanes below us. First, a Cessna pilot asked the air traffic controllers to check his ground speed. 'Ninety knots,' ATC replied. A twin Bonanza soon made the same request. 'One-twenty on the ground,' was the reply. To our surprise, a navy F-18 came over the radio with a ground speed check. I knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, he had a ground speed indicator in his cockpit, but he wanted to let all the bug-smashers in the valley know what real speed was 'Dusty 52, we show you at 620 on the ground,' ATC responded. The situation was too ripe. I heard the click of Walter's mike button in the rear seat. In his most innocent voice, Walter startled the controller by asking for a ground speed check from 81,000 feet, clearly above controlled airspace. In a cool, professional voice, the controller replied, ' Aspen 20, I show you at 1,982 knots on the ground.' We did not hear another transmis sion on that frequency all the way to the coast."

The SR-71 'Blackbird' went so fast it heated it's hull so much that they had to give the metal so much room to expand that when it wasn't moving at high speeds the fuel literally leaked out of the frame. The fuel also was very expensive and cited as a main reason for the decommissioning of the plane by ex US president William Clinton.

the first two statements are correct. the last is iffy. IIRC, the airframes were wearing out

airframes?

 

[zzuupp]

and by the way, the tooling had been destroyed per contract. So, it was either part them out, U2, or satellites

If you are a conspiracy buff, then AURORA .

I hope that you made it to work today.

I hope that I make it to work tomorrow on time
