It went well and I think Steve would love the job. But it's a small company, no family benefits...which worries me, and the pay isn't that great considering the lack of benefits.
I really wish you'd made it to ShootMoot. Th'g'nads are great folks. I can't remember what it is g'nad had Steve doing, I just remember he would come in absolutely filthy and happy as a clam!
Remember the olden days when folks would sit on the front porch and just visit...that's what it's like at the Ridge.
Do you have somewhere to be? I love when it looks like that as long as there's nowhere I need to be urgently. It looks like that here. I walked down to the grocery store through our five inches and it was so nice and peaceful.
Monkeys are intelligent and agile, well-adapted for jungle life as they swing happily from tree to tree. As a monkey, you are a social animal who prefers a warm climate, eats a wide range of food and is quick to learn new things. A monkey's tiny primate features are irresistable, as is her gregarious personality!Oh I love snow, when I don't have to be out in it!
I dunno...looks awful pretty to me.
It's a common item on German military optics. Here's my NVA 7x40DFs, thought by some to be the finest military binoculars ever made. The fitting on the right is for the light source. On the left is a port hole that lets you "charge" an infrared filter during the day. At night, twist a knob, and the filter is swung into the optical path. It's supposed to let you detect infrared light sources, although I've never tried it.
Here's the light, complete with battery box, on the binoculars. This light is also used on East German aiming circles, BC scopes, and other optics. It uses two AA batteries, although the battery box is big enough to hold a dozen batteries. It took me about five years of patient searching to track down the rig.
Here's the whole outfit. The East German unit is on the right. At the very left of the picture is the West German scope illuminator. A red LED, two calculator batteries, and a dimmer switch, minus all the industrial-grade hookup of the commie model.
You find the coolest stuff!
It's muh job.
Seriesly, I learned from my father how to distinguish cool gadgets from junk. And in the computer biz, I need to know about new gadgetry before clients try them, so I can stay a jump ahead.
Plus, our troop support program is really just a fancy name for "military gadgets". But if they're good enough, a gadget becomes a necessity, or even a life saver.
Who doesn't love a pony? You are one of these miniature horses, renown for your beauty and desired by many. Full of grace, you are a beautiful and very special animal, full of strength and majesty.Ponies are also smart, lazy, and full of guile. Maybe this test is more accurate than I first thought.
Found in many lakes and ponds, ducks are a common site the world over. Known for their famous quack, ducks tend to congregate in flocks or go off on their own in pairs. As a duck, you may seem friendly at times but will not hesitate to bite if someone is bothering you. are some reasons why you are a duck.Ribbit!
Very cool, very cool indeed. You, sir, are quite the collector, my hat's off to you.
Independent yet still part of a large community, frogs are unique creatures known for their distinctive sound and ability to hop. As a frog, you spend your days sitting on lily pads or climbing trees, searching for delicious insects to eat. While there are some frogs that aren't exactly cute, you are certainly not one of those!Cute Animal Test!
Ungh...another of *those* threads starting that's bound to get ugly. I should avoid even reading it, but will I?
*sigh*
I am nothing if not predictable.
Do you mean the 'Drew Barrymore likes to run nekkid through Irish fields' thread?? It's *already* ugly.
snork
LOL!
No, I didn't, as I think you know. ;-) But I did see that one. Heh...
How's yer cold/flu?
Tanks though :)
Everyone adores these cute woodland animals, known for the stripe that runs down their back. Famously timid, chipmunks will quickly scurry to the safety of their burrows if danger approaches. As a chipmunk, you eat mostly seeds and nuts, but you may sample bird eggs and insects from time to time.
