Used to do so regularly. But nowadays...

Perhaps when I retire.

^^ Makes sense, and supports what I's suspected. Thanks for the info.

Now send those darned Orioles back to the Baltimore area where they belong, and tell them that the Catbirds are (literally)...

Nice pic!

Sorry to hear this, Greg!

I'm glad you weren't alone, and your boys were there to provide support.

No Orioles yet, but the Gray Catbirds are loving the fruit...

IMO, this is very good!

:O Very cool!

Along with politics and religion, I'm getting ready to auto-close every new YES thread.


Let's be grown-ups here, and keep it civil!

Yep, a decent VPN connection will allow your system to fake being in the country of your choice. But Sky will know how to detect the cheaper VPNs, so be sure to subscribe to a quality service.

Inly if you have a death-wish! :D

But wear your Mercesdes head to toe outfit and they'll buy you all the bier in the garten.

Very sad - he was a long, long-term member and contributor here.

Although the "Off-Topic (OT) - Music And Arts" is the correct place for RIPs, I'm moving this to the main forum because of his...

Bull***t !!

My wife had hers done when she was 41.

Get another doctor.

Good luck to both of you. my wife will probably be getting 2 new knees later this year. One will be a knee replacement, the other will be re-replacing a 21-year-old knee replacement.



I agree...

Yep - that's my fear.

I did something similar a long time ago - spent days preparing a rose garden, spent $$ (don't remember how much, but a lot) on carefully selected, well established roses,...

What's the best shrub to attract humming birds?

I'm looking for something that-

a) Flowers for a long time,

b) Requires minimal maintenance, and

c) Can stand mid-Atlantic winters

Forgive my ignorance - but per my understanding, "sarcoma" is a fairly general term, so I'm not sure what it means in your case.

Either way, I wish you the best of luck! Keep us posted with your...

I bought this on vinyl in the '70s. It's my 2nd favorite, after The Snow Goose.

:up

I probably had it on mute at that point :)

Yep - my wife and I spoke about that at the end of the race. No mention of it, AFAIK.

(I assume we all know the "hat trick" in F1 : start at pole, win the race, and get the fastest lap.)

It was an interesting race in so many ways - and for once, not a dull procession. Most cars were within view of each other and very few were lapped. Was that the 2022 designs, or the course? Time...

I liked the pictures you posted elsewhere, Chris.

I've recorded the race - and fully expect to see you on camera! :D

It's been years since I've been to an F1 race in person. I thought about...

I agree with the concept of free education. The long-term benefit to society will FAR outweigh the short-term cost. It's basic economics. But no one in government (or in business) is prepared to...

I've hired more high-salary IT techies and (particularly) management consultants than I can remember. Also as a consultant myself, I'm frequently interviewed by clients before they'll take me on in...

Cool, Chris!

There was a series on Formula E last year similar to "Drive To Survive". I don't recall who broadcasted it, or what it was called - but after seeing a race, you might appreciate the...

Similar story here:

I had my roof replaced last year - but prior to that, I had a roofing company check the roof every few years.

2017 - they send a young guy out for the periodic inspection,...

LOL

I guess I could have rephrases that :)

I heard an unusual call yesterday. Ran the app on my phone, recorded it, and it came out as a "fox sparrow". I re-recorded it, and had it analyzed, 3 more times - same result.

But they aren't...

Stupid! You have to be really desperate to take a 1-in-6 chance!

When I lived overseas, we overlooked a lake. A flock of many hundreds of flamingos nested on the far side of the lake. We had a telescope set up and it was awesome to watch their nesting habits,...

I'm not sure what her user-ID was / is.

However user Jutze is the webmaster for Anglagaard.

Sorry you're going through this, Gary!



I guess I've been blessed. My siblings and I were all extremely supportive of my parents throughout their lives, and particularly, at the end. (My Dad...

:up :up

That vid ^^^ is good.

I'll look out for the album.

BWT's corporate colors have always been pink (with a blue logo).

Ugly, but I guess it will stand out - wherever it's seen.

Agreed. Still - I wish it wasn't just the same-old-same-old top 3 teams at the front. A more even spread would make it far better!

Last year, it looked like McLaren was getting ready to join the...

Same as I did this afternoon.

Very interesting first race!!

YES!!

You have a window of 3 months before to 3 months after your 65th birthday. If you apply late, you will pay a "late enrollment penalty" for the rest of your life!

If you still have health...

Absolutely true!

And I find it's true of myself as well. When I'm not busy, I can't drag myself to do simple tasks that need to be done. But when I'm busy, I can take on all tasks and knock them...

Cool!

I'm putting off my withdrawals until age 70 ... and plan to work until 70.

As long as I'm still working from home and working hard to actively ignore the stresses of being a business...

Damn, Chris, that's a great picture!

Welcome to my (Tinitus) world.

I'm not aware if I have a knot like that.

I had it badly as a kid, then it went away. It came back in my late 40s, and has been increasing - in synch with my...

Melted Bodies : Enjoy Yourself

Holy fuck - it's frantic, energetic, energy-sapping - and fun!

think System Of A Down meets Mr. Bungle with just a sprinkling of Sleepytime Golilla Museum.

Oh...

If you publish the pictures somewhere else first, you can then insert the picture by selecting the "From URL" option - and it will appear in its actual size.

OR - if (like Chris) you use Tapatalk...

No surprise that Masi has been booted.

I feel sorry for him, though. He would probably also have been canned if he took the opposite decision in Abu Dhabi, and let Hamilton win under the pace car.

A nice gift...

Unlike many here, I see this as Spock's Beard's magnum opus, and certainly the best of the Morse era.

Thanks.



At a glance, it also looks like the African Masked Weaver.

The Oriole is much bigger than the weaver or the finch, though.

I got a lifer this weekend:

African Black Headed Oriole. Not an uncommon bird, but I'd often heard them but never seen one.

@Steve Sly - That kind of pain is often a neuroma.

It is! :up

I'm out-of-country at the moment. Saw this road sign yesterday in an area where owls are very common, and have occasionally been hit by cars:

(Click to enlarge)

I've seen warnings for...

That's them - the sound is unmistakable.

Quite a nice sound if you're (e.g.) hiking out in the fields. But when they're in your back yard at 5:00am? Not so much! LOL
