With bare feet, uphill both ways, in the snow!

My dad did that too. :-) I think all dad's did that.

LOL. I know mine did!

[The Mayor]

Good Morning Snippy!

Awwww. Kissin' up to "Santa" early?

[snippy_about_it]

Near 70? Wow, lucky you. We believe our 'fixtures' for the store will come in tomorrow so we have lots of work planned over the holidays.

[snippy_about_it]

Stay warm. I don't miss that freezin' weather a bit!

Morning Glory Snip & Sam~

Another great lesson on someone I knew nothing about. How a man can go from being an Biblical instructor to creating a submarine . . . amazing. It's so sad how great minds like this fall victims to the politics and powers of their day.

the speed of a vessel running submerged should never exceed six knots because of the difficulties of navigating underwater."

No wonder Holland was constantly frustrated.

In fact, many of Holland’s best ideas, such as placing the propeller aft of the rudder to give it greater maneuverability, became vitally important when nuclear-powered submarines took to sea, with the power that allowed them to achieve speeds that would make lesser designs dangerous.

Visionary . . .

And now for some unfinished business . . .

I've taken note on capturing some pics of my birds enjoying there new feeders. I caught both a Scrubjay and a Finch checking things out from the distance this AM . . . they're curious! Ms. Snip, any suggestions (from the good Dr. Hook) on proper placement would be welcomed. Keep in mind that I do water my yard (it's So. Calif.) throughout the year. So if they need to be placed lower on a "feeder pole" I can always take them down during watering.

Finally, I have some good news and some great news. The good news is I'm off for the next two-weeks and the great news is I'll be joining the Foxhole "first 50" in the morning. HUA?

Any special presents planned for Bitty Girl and Spiderboy?

Spiderboy got an early present with puppy Sadie. He's convinced he needs to become Mr. Incredible Boy as well. (Santa may oblige)

Bitty Girl has some more toys to chew on coming as well. I'm looking forward to watching her rip the packages open.

[Professional Engineer]

Probably too cold for them at the moment.

I had one trailing me and some others for a couple of days. I finally called it a burger flipper (Yes, I would like fries with my burger) and then ignored it.

What did I do to start the flames, you ask? I made a joke to Msdrby on a thread. Oh the humanity!

[Professional Engineer]

Howdy ma'am

[Darksheare]

LOL!

Yeah, had someone get upset about a joke I cracked with a friend awhile back.
Wonder if it's the same person this time.

[Professional Engineer]

It's screename was/is James Beam.

BTW, you know anything about this?

[SAMWolf]

[SAMWolf]

Feel sorry for the trolls in winter, all the homeless take theur places under the bridges here. ;-)

[Darksheare]

James and I went a round or so once already.
But this was farther back than his signup of August 24 2004.

*sigh*

Umm.. Zamboni Splodey?
Nope, haven't heard of it.
