I was trying to put some pure acetone which I just bought for 5 dollars for 32oz into my car

Women and electrons go any darn place they please. Heights? Get me outta here.

[Professional Engineer]

I’d have a heart attack.

From the height. Agreed.

Hubby just spent 10 minutes explaining why that guy isn’t dead, and I still don’t get it.

Electricity is always looking for a way to get back to earth. As long as you don't provide a path to the earth, you'll be okay.

Are you doing something weird with your colander?

I used to be afraid of heights. Then I went to work doing Industrial Piping Design. I had to climb all over the towers and pipe racks at refineries. I won’t say the cure was 100%; I still get the willies being up high, but as long as there’s a way to tie off, I’m able to function.

I don’t do high work, anymore; I’m in a different industry, now. But if I couldn’t stand it, it would be because of physiology, not psychology.

[Tax-chick]

Howya!

[HKMk23]

G’day!

‘Bout ready for Independence Day?

[Tax-chick]

We’ve got all our food! Some of the family are racing tomorrow; I’m not sure which. I’m doing baby-watching.

The local Calvary Temple congregation puts on an annual “Singing Flag” complete with the big choir, soloists, costumed dancers and other cast, with appropriate vehicles (tractors, fire trucks, and a WWII military jeep), and — and it wouldn’t be a proper Independence Day without this last one — a solitary bugler.

They set this up in one of the largest parks in the area and run it three evenings in a row. It draws three to four THOUSAND people a night, and every performance culminates in a 20-minute firework show. It’s a citywide tradition to go to the Singing Flag.

They’ve even got a little video promo for the event on the church homepage. Check it out:

BTW: All of the blankets you see spread on the grass in that video were probably placed the night before by folks staking their turf for the next day’s performance.

Here’s an aerial view of the park.

The light-colored rectangle is a concrete slab where the stage is set up each year. It’s raised up about 5’ above the lowest area of the field, which extends fairly flat for about 100 feet, then slopes upward as you approach the street to form a sort of amphitheater.

[HKMk23]

Y’all have a great Independence Day celebration and I’ll catch ya on the flipside.

HKMk23 is 10-7; down & gone.

Happy Independance Day, ol pal!

Hi, y’all. Put in my day of work for this week, so now I’m back on vacation. This time without travel plans.

[Darksheare]

I deny being the man behind the mask.

[sionnsar]

Ugh. Not my cuppa tea. (Or, as the Gaels have appropriated the term, “cuppa ti.”)

[Army Air Corps]

Try some red fuming nitric acid...I understand that it has a “kick”...

[sionnsar]

Good night, all.

[Professional Engineer]

Hey, it works much better with sound!

I forgot my workstation speakers were off this morning.

[Professional Engineer]

Are you doing something weird with your colander?

No, but it's not a mythical calender either.

I have a picture I took in Wyoming of a Moose in the wild.

I was 4,000 feet away from it. Almost zero horizontally.

I also have a picture looking straight down that 4,000 foot sheer face. Incredible rush!

Getting on a 20 ft extension ladder scares the living crap outta me.
