COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all
It's a day of sunshine and grey clouds - bit of a chilly wind too. Lola has tried to bask but the sun doesn't stick around long enough so he's given up. Still it's not as bad in Wales as it is Scotland where they had to cancel the Highland Games yesterday for the first time in 75 years! The Lock ness Monster hunt still went ahead though.

The UK has a bank holiday again tomorrow - the last until Xmas so a nice long weekend for some but most of the shops will be open.

I'm meeting my sister for a late lunch do I'd better go, but hope you're all having a good Sunday. TTFN

Wow! Are you near Cape Canaveral? Was it very loud?

Natrah

We are about 30 miles from the Cape. About 6 minutes after the launch. We can hear the rumble from the liftoff. Sometimes when the rocket boosters reenter. We will get a sonic boom.

That should be 'Loch Ness ' must have been in a hurry to get my lunch!!

Great picture - where are they off to this time? I've not seen it our news yet.

It didn't have a crew. The rocket was carrying 60 satellites. The satellites are for wifi signal. The goal is to bring wifi to parts of the world that have none. The program started in 2009. To date there have been over 4400 satellites launched. The goal is 44,000 satellites.

If I were a hedgehog, I would probably be very pleased to meet it !

I saw something about the Loch Ness dinosaur today on the news. Why is it so hard for people to believe it exists when so many people have seen and reported it? It's just another elusive critter if s/he does.

I have a bunch of them around here too. Or similar.

 

[Cathie G]

I don't know if anyone remembers that I planted a crepe myrtle in my front yard on the other side of the yard from that crazy crab apple tree. I was wondering if I would regret doing that. It's another one of those trees from the arbor day foundation. Eeeek ! At least it has pretty flowers. This is just beginning.

Seems like they are going to create a massive traffic jam....Hey, buddy, try to dodge those satellite's, on the way up to the moon!
And . . unfortunately it do not believe it is a benevolent objective,,,it's all about the $$$.

Cathie G, is that a Crepe Myrtle?, Hum, mine do NOT look Like that!

Also . . the Satalite communications that Ukraine uses was strong armed by one special person...

Pretty flowers Miss Cathie but you might want to give up on the Loch Ness monster...and Bigfoot, that's another one that I had really hoped to see one day, but with so many drones and no pics or proof, 'fraid it's a goner n my book. Bobo and his clown group on TV sealed it for me. The one guy with ANY credibility (the former teacher) fell to the myth that everything someone saw, could have been a bigfoot. Really dude? "Well, I wasn't sure what I saw"- "You may well have seen a Bigfoot!" LOL....

I'm still hoping for UFO's to be disclosed, I know what I saw...and no one on this planet made it, that's for sure. What is his name, Erich von Däniken? He makes some very compelling comparisons of unlike civilizations.......not so much that I bought all the things he states as near fact, but the fact that his discussions and theory sparked my own comparisons....and I can draw my own conclusions and I think there is some neat stuff in there!

It's 11:23PM here....and I obviously made the cardinal blunder....got home from breakfast with our friends in Outer Bridge NJ, stopped and bought brake pads and put them on after we got to Kerry's. The passenger inside pad was ground halfway through the steel backplate.....yeah that side of the rotor was a bit ugly but you know, those new pads stop just fine and don't make any noise either. 1 hour and forty minutes start to finish with zero hiccups and wonder woman by my side the whole time. She got to crank that scissor jack since supermans wrists were already a bit sore and she is "strong like bull". FYI brake pads, the 38 dollar ceramics variety are now 61 bucks but it beats paying my guy 700....brakes would have cost199 but somehow, it would have been 700 bucks it always is. LOL

So that blunder I was talking about, that was taking a 2hr nap, waking at 6pm and driving home from Kerry's, drinking a full travel cup of coffee at 7pm.....ohhh this is gonna be a rough night. It used to take a really cute girl to keep me up this late...my how times change!


There's a little better pic of Jacks car...he has two of these, a original blue one but its in rougher shape, this has 45,000 miles on it. I'm not a big fan of the car but some here are.....and we don't see them hardly anymore.

Youngest Daughter is coming over sometime tomorrow to finish cleaning her room and she offered to help me wrestle the 50 gal heater down stairs from the truck. I somehow ended up with a hand truck decades ago, I put air in the tires when I need to use it and it's a lifesaver sometimes.

Dang, Jeff . .
You keep coming up with these odd ball's . . Erich von Däniken . .really, you keep "Google" in business... Now I know about Mr.Däniken. As a Native Cali, I'm trying to get away from the "Car" culture. I have a 96 Ranger and a 07 Taco...they will be the last gas guzzlers that I own...But . . those Birds are quite enjoyable to look at...

Dear Lyn,

What type of tortoise do you have and how old is he/she?

Natrah

 

[jeff kushner]

07 Taco

WTH is that, the menu at a Mex restaurant? I have a 2-seater play car and that 07 Taco just sounds smaller...lol


"Eclectic knowledge" it's in there, don't know where it came from or when it fell into the abyss but like the roach motel, things go into the mind, then never seen again unless awakened by some outside inquiry.

I think you get that from reading the internet of things, the whole thing. Google sucks now, only "above the line" results...they are really good for jostling my memory though! LOL

I couldn't remember his proper name but I plugged in; "Donnigan UFO" ...A hail Mary!

I don't fault anyone decisions on gas/elect. I get the "feeling" that unrestrained, you and I would have some fantastic discussions.....but could get banned for life for them here! Yikes! LOL I've found that folks can still be good friends if they don't forget that they have more in common that not....we all do.

Personally, I generally hate cars....they are big, needlessly heavy, I hate working on them .....fresh off a front brake pad replacements which reinforced that as I pried up each 750 pound wheel back onto its studs......just nutty overkill....says the guy who drives a 6000 expedition. I actually drive my truck to protect me from me and others. No other reason in the world. I drive my little car because it's a lot of fun, for a car! I rather work on a bike engine where everything is just as big as it needs to be, no extra weight to make you work more or slow you down......7:1 is a magic ratio for those that understand it's significance in the conversation.

enjoy the day guys....

I agree, I looked to see if Starlink was in my area. It would cost me 599.00 for the equipment and 120.00 per month. For very slow internet service.
