Back from music night yet?
I went to the Bible study. It was a nice change of pace, I'm glad I went. Now, it's back to the code mines...
(((Ramius)))
From your lips to God's ears!! *sigh* I'd love to have me one of them....
The snorkel is really cool... one of my best friends used to drive one as a navy corpsman with the Marines... drove the ambulance model. It had a soft top over the front seats that they usually drove with open and rolled back.
He used to tell a great story of driving his ambulance off the landing craft onto the beach in Okinawa during war games... seemed they always seemed to drop him off in about eight feet of water... he'd drive off the LCVP using the hand throttle, standing on the seat, steering with his foot, standing up holding onto the windshield with both hands... and SPLOOSH... up to his chest in water but that thing would splash and claw its way up onto the beach nonetheless. Watta ma-chine.
Gotta love it. I want one. :-)
Now THAT would be cool to see!
The flooding in my neighborhood made the local news. :-)
I'm off to bed! Nighty night folks!
Evenin' folks!
The brush hawg guy finally came by today... just left. Hair's uploading the pics as I type.
Now, what's for dinner?
Dinner? I think we ate it all. You've got to move faster around hobbits, dude.
Guys, I don't wanna sound like I'm braggin' (I'd never do that ya know). But just reading thru the posts, I know of two possible avenues to get "there."
Let me ponder it a bit.
Regardless, he did what would have been a lot of work for us :~D
Before shot (from this spring)... note the group of small alders center-right there for reference, and the brush beyond:
These trees in the foreground are those small alders.
This is the other side of the same area before:
We stopped taking pictures when we ran out of light, and he worked awhile in the dark. Won't know what it really looks like till morning, except that it's all chewed up ;~D
It would be seriesly cool to have it in the Presidential Library, too. Heh.
Looks productive to me... but then again... I'm easily amused... :-)
Man... found a zot thread but the mod pulled it. Must be the humorless mod on tonight...
Nah, Corin's not important. He has, however, been fortunate enough in his life to work for some important people.
Let's think this thru...now or later...let me know.
g'nite
I think you can count on that for the next 60 or so days.
We have a LOT of trolls today...
Seems like the trolls are out in force lately. Election fever has overtaken them.
Gotta feel sorry for them. They've nominated somebody that even they don't like very much, and the angst is driving them out of their admittedly small minds. Bummer. My commpassionate conservative self really feels bad. [snif] but not that bad. :-)
commpassionate? yikes. Learn to spell.
I wish I had a machine like that ;~D
I thought you were just talking like you had had some bourbon ;~D
Yeah, I know, but I'd like to play with trolls now and then and I always find the threads after 500 replies...
Maybe I'll just go lurk at the wacky Religion Forum thread (meese and cheese have nothing on this one) and then to bed.
