Same Ol' Buzzard
Don't go to Europe then, dogs are welcome at most restaurants. But not in the kitchens. Surprised the hell out of me when I traveled there in 1984.

Ah, cool! That'll make it easier. Since I normally only get 1 per season, I cook it right away. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm the same, especially airplanes. I used to be allergic to flea bites. Not sure now since it has been a few decades. Used to get a nice water blister all the time.

Just imagine them licking their butt and then licking the table, chair, etc etc. Or you eating your salad and then get a different sounding crunching sound while chewing.

Good morning, Everyone!
Yesterday wasn’t my best day, with more time spent napping than being productive. It was the first day in a while that I didn’t make it into the attic. I did, however, manage to gather some cables and other miscellaneous items to take up there when I do go.
Every day is a good day; some are simply better than others.
Have a Happy Sunday Everyone!

To the Royal Air Maroc flight that couldn’t get off the ground video.
Lots of videos about it in YouTube. But here’s the best one.
It’s been a while since I saw it but if memory serves me another big heavy plane had either just taken off or just landed and the disturbed air that it left in its wake meant that the plane taking off in the video lost lift or something like that as it hit the bad air.

That's what I was thinking. Not enough flap for that speed at V1. He nosed down, got more speed and got enough lift. Glad they made it.

Well, howdy there internet speed racers, and those with Amish aspirations
It's Troy again, firmly ensconced in the 21st Century. Definitely not Amish. Although, I did do some reading on LDS theology to better understand the prepper mentality in the faith. It was an interesting dive into an area of religious studies I hadn't ventured into.
But, back to the real world.
Started the process of talking down the game table yesterday. It's a homemade 2ft x 6ft plywood and 2x4 and 1x4 construction. It will get remade into three smaller tables with various functions. The goal is to free up floor space to move the treadmill and Teeter table out of the train area.
But I got distracted when I started to remove the "outdoor" carpet piece that served as a play mat on the table. I pulled the staples out of it, flipped it over to roll it up. Doing what with it, I have no clue. I've got enough other play mats made out of Neoprene I don't need this one.
Then I realized I could cut it into smaller sections to act as an area of Woods on the gaming table. We normally used some felt, or 3d printed templates that have been painted and sceniced to look good.
So I dug around the gaming stuff and found some of the 3D printed ones I hadn't applied flock to, and used them as templates to mark on the back of the carpet.
I cut a total of three rows of templates out of half the roll. But I did have to go get the respirator mask from the spray booth. I was flinging all sorts of static grass style fibers into the air. And the cheapo scissors didn't cut it. Fortunately, my grandfather was an upholsterer, and knew how to keep really good shears very sharp. I have two sets in my hobby kit. My wife has several from Gramps in her sewing kit. So I dug those out and they made short work of the mat.
The red handled ones are NOT from Gramps.
Then I needed to clear some floor space in the basement, so I had to room to position one of the "new" tables I'm going to make from the old. That meant a couple of 3Ft wire rack shelving unit needed to be combined and moved to the garage.
Problem! One set of shelves was 16" deep. And the other was 18" deep. The two shall not mate.
After staring at the shelves, and little plastic sleeves to lock them onto the uprights, now scattered across the basement floor. I cursed. My hope was to put four more wire shelves onto the tall 6ft uprights, and scrap the 3 foot uprights. Then move the new unit to the garage.
What I ended up doing was swapping the uprights and shelves. I have 3 of the 16" shelves now on the short uprights. And they fit nicely under the model railroad, and better organize some of my gaming terrain.
The tall uprights with the four deeper wire shelves have been moved to the garage for reassembly at a later date.

They build in the time. The Madison from O’Hara on the schedule shows 1 hour 10 minutes. Flight time per the pilot is 28 minutes. It was a good flight

Good morning after a great sleep in my own bed. 10:15 last night I could barely keep the eyes open so I went to bed! 6:28 was wake up and I feel good.
We got home yesterday and watched the Badger men lose the NCAA Hockey Championship game in the last 10 minutes of the game 1-2. It’s 7:30 so we went out to dinner. During dinner Terry gets a text from Alliagnt Energy we have no power, no issue for us as the generator kicks in. Get home and the garbage door won’t open and the outdoor lights were not on. Grab the phone and go check on the generator. Take a picture, then a video of my disconnected connection to MY house and follow the new connected cord to the neighbors place. SO I shut the generator down, disconnect the cord and take it to the neighbors yard and take a picture. Go back and get my house plugged in, go to the car put it in the garage and call the cops. They come out and take a report saying I disturbed the evidence and that’s that. I was unaware you could even change connections on my machine but it’s a hinged cover with a thick cord and huge 3 prong device. That will change today with an additional box and lock added. Terry said last night before I went to bed early that the fence and landscaping I’ve wanted to do she’d be ok with now. This neighbor is off the cookie list…
No we are not going to say anything, though I’m pissed. Maybe actually more shocked and confused. If they needed something for an emergency we would have helped out, there are other ways. I also will invest in a garage opener battery backup. We could not get in the house last night as our screen/storms doors are not keyed to open from the outside!
Today! I have no clue other than I need to go back and make the bed.
It’s 59f degrees going to the low 70’s. 90% chance of rain today between now and 6pm. As I write this the rain has started. The weather app says about 1” is expected…
Enjoy the day

Good morning all!
A big warm up in store today and for the next 5 days with temps in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Currently a very cloudy humid 59F
with an expected high od 79F. Light scattered showers expected later this afternoon into tonight.
Yesterday I got my mower out and serviced. I still need to sharpen blades but I can do that this week. I also need to wind a new spool
of string for my trimmer. I bought a new roll last year since I thought it would run out but there was enough left to finish yesterday.
Last night my daughter needed some craft supplies for a school English project so we went down to Hobby Lobby. Afterwards we
stopped at Applebee's for dinner. I was able to pick up a new hot glue gun that was never brought home when my daughter took
mine to use for homecoming decoration making. It got left at the house they were making them at and the people have since moved
out of the area and im sure my glue gun went with them. I will need that to continue on with my mountain scenery this summer.
Not much on the agenda for today as most everything was done yesterday.
Have a safe day everyone!

Good Morning All. Cloudy and 66°. My weather rock is wet so it must have rained overnight. From the porch, it looks like almost 1/2" in the gauge. Radar shows that most of it went east of here and is still going in that direction. Despite the rain and clouds, it will still be in the 80's for a few days.
On the trip to town yesterday to go to the pharmacy, I noted that gas had dropped 30¢ a gallon since Thursday. $3.69/gal even at the Interstate intersection, which is usually higher than the out in the country convenience store. Lots of household chores after that.
Nothing planned yet for today except Mass in a little while.
I made more progress on the newest project out in the train shed yesterday; but I didn't take any pictures. I adapted and installed some picket fencing for the first house on the left. It didn't have any mounting pegs, so I drilled .043" holes in the posts and made my own out of .040" styrene rod. I think that I did 10 altogether. Still need to do the gate. I also plotted out but did not paint some more driveways and the church parking lot. Some more ground cover was added on the back side of the rail line. It's coming along slowly but nicely. I always believe that slow progress is better than no progress.

All of the ones that I encountered were very well behaved and simply laid under the table at their owners (and others) feet.

I would at least hand them a bill for the fuel used!

I don't blame you, "don't start no shit and there won't be none" I can't speak for you but I'm too old to be starting shit. We can know when and how it will start, but where and when it ends...
Can I have theirs?
You don't need to worry; your neighbors would not have a cord long enough. Nobody would have a cord long enough!
