I didn't want to say anything until we were sure, but yes - definitely a bipedal higher simian. Zachary was born at 9:50 last night at 7 lbs 2.5 oz and Mom and baby are both doing well. His cord was wrapped around his neck and he was a little pale and breathing rapidly, but a quick shot of O2 and he's just fine. Thanks for everyone's thoughts.

Does your wife realise you named him after the new Spock?

Congrats!

Congratulations for sure!

It's funny, I was just listening to Make It So, and they were teasing we Americans for having names like Zach. "We don't start our names with Zed, but that's just us...."

Congradulations Mikey, glad to hear everyone is safe and healthy.

Got struck by lightning the the other day heading out on a trip. The weird thing is that there was a tendril of energy right at the end of the radome for a few seconds then BAM everything went white till our vision returned. No damage though, but it was the weirdest strike I've ever encountered.

you personally?

Congrats Mikey

And I suppose congrats to Capt Jethro too

Wow, congrats for surviving, I guess.

The aircraft structure is bonded so the lightning usually just passes through the wing tips or tail. Some times an instrument will fail, but so far it's never been a big deal.

I've seen videos of pilots flying aircraft near or in thunderstorms to get hit intentionally. Nucking Futz if you ask me.

Congratulations Mikey. Good to hear that Mum and Baby are doing well.
