The wife and I attended a memorial service today for a former coworker of hers who passed unexpectedly last week. It was a nice little Christian service with eulogies given by family and friends, followed by their family pastor reading from the old and new testament. Pretty standard stuff, but...

My wife's Hindu tradition is similar to what, Aupmanyav describes above, but when my mother-in-law passed last year, a new tradition got added to the mix. You see, do to covid restrictions in Fiji, gatherings were limited, which put a huge damper on traditional funeral proceedings. So, nearly...

Dang! My mom use to tell the story of when she went into labor with me. Apparently I was headed out butt first. Yeah I know, that figures. Anyway, rather than risk an emergency C-section, the ER docs decided to attempt to twist me around the right way. Mom said she was in labor a total of 72...

Guess he missed the memo about electric vacuum motors and sparks. o_O Although, there is a way to accomplish what he was trying to do that doesn't involve gasoline entering the vacuum. Still risky, but maybe a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10, as apposed to 12!

Bloody internet, now I want a opossum... o_O

My glasses look like that after I cut the grass. Some Windex and a soft cloth should clear that lens right up! :D

Glad I have no horses in this race. I think there are valid reasons for having an abortion, but I'm not in favor of using abortion simply as a means of birth control. I mean, wrap that rascal, take a pill, whatever, the right to choose should start there and not after the fact, IMO.

Yeah, my interest in EV's is purely selfish. Nothing to do with reducing my carbon footprint, saving the planet or any other popular catch phrase. I just like the idea of being able to fill-up at home and not having to change the oil. Well that and the prospect of a sub-6 sec 0 to 60! :)

Ran across an interesting article about driving a classic car vs an ev. A bit bias I think and slightly slanted in one direction, but none the less food for thought. https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/classic-cars-greener/

I'm sure a few of you remember Monty Python and the fish slapping skit at Teddington Lock. Anyway, decided to do a little parody featuring two of my dollies.

Ok, after pricing new wheeled string trimmers, the one still being advertised at $299 is permanently out of stock, I decided to bite the bullet and get the new spindle assembly. Just installed it and man... that beast is like new again! Still may get a rider, but for now all's right with the...

Guess I didn't look any better when I was his age, rocking a red Abe Lincoln beard at my graduation. :D

I told him the same thing, but looking at his graduating class, his mop is actually a wee shorter than some of the other guys and thankfully it's not dyed green! Well, he's actually no blood relation to me, but his dad lost most of his hair in his twenties, sooo..... :rolleyes:

Don't know how he managed it, but somewhere in between video games, eating and naps, the grandnephew actually graduated high school! :)

Shoot, my wife won't drive my car now. She considers pumping the gas to get it started, then waiting 10 minutes for it to warm up, quite primitive. Never mind the absence of AC, cruise control and power windows! Oh, the horror... the absolute horror!!! :eek:
