It's strange because the Imgur interface is a little different during the original upload, then if I right click/view image on the posted broken jpg icon it takes me to the old Imgur interface where I used to do the uploading and provides the proper code there :confused:

You know I get fly, you think I get high
You know that I'm gone and I'm-a tell you all why
So tell me who are you dissing, maybe I'm missing
The reason that you're smilin' or wildin', so listen
In my head, I just want to take 'em down
Imagination set loose and I'm gonna shake 'em down

I saw a news piece where they took surviving veterans back to France this week. 14000 Canadians hit Juno beach.

There is some old news footage that featured a nervous soldier on a transport looking back before disembarking. Another soldier put his hand on the guy's back to reassure him. We made a commemorative coin with the mystery soldier on it.

Recently they found out who the guy was (Pte. George Herman Baker) through some impressive detective work. :thumbsup:

Yeah the Battle of Stalingrad was amazing and there was a lot of help on the eastern side of Europe, but as most ACCREDITED war historians teach the attacks in France are what pushed the Germans into a corner.

It has a 16 to 20 week lead time and for an 8" diameter bar x 48" long it costs $18,000 :shock:

Do you find it hard wanting to go back to work after 14 days off, even though you had worked 14 straight before the time off?

Going back to work is hard sometimes. Just depends on what's going on. Kids are grown, and out of house. 2 weeks at a time isn't bad. I really enjoy the 2 weeks off. The longest I've been away from home was a few years ago, working for a different company. I started in Peru Jan 3rd, then to India, Australia, then Malaysia. I got home in the middle of April.
That was rough, but sure made for some nice paychecks. I was making $600/ day back then.
To me, I loathe 9-5 jobs, dealing with traffic back and forth, only being able to go places on weekends or on vacation, etc.

We're moving a small estate account into my Mom's main one (it only has about 4k in it.)

But to do that the bank has to deal with the government to legally get Dad's name off the estate account....which was set up after his death, which they are aware of (two years ago).

Just got back from NYC! What an awesome trip. Ate far too much but walked 25k steps/day so hopefully it all comes out in the wash (I'm afraid to jump on a scale :lol: ). Caught a baseball game and a comedy show, saw The Book of Mormon, hit some great pizza places and other restaurants.

Glad to be home though, I think 5 nights there was just the right amount. I'm bagged.

I sure did, it was absolutely beautiful. The two reflecting pools where the towers stood are breathtaking and the whole site is extremely tasteful and respectful. The new One World tower is wild too, just massive. It's a perfect middle finger to terrorism.

Forgot to mention... tried Shake Shack so I can weigh in on the Shake Shack vs In-n-Out Debate :lol:

I'm diving deep, indulge me:


In-N-Out is so cheap. Their burgers are picture perfect, the buns are soft on the outside and toasted with butter inside, and the lettuce and tomato is crisp and fresh. Their special sauce is the bomb, reminds me of a local favorite burger chain in BC 'White Spot.' Not to mention the friendly service and infinite options to make custom burgers (you can have fresh and caramelized onions on your burger). They hand cut their fries in house and douse them in their secret sauce, which again is great.

Shake Shack's natural Angus burger patty is extremely flavorful, thicker, fattier and more delicious, as is their bacon. They have these beautiful yellow potato buns too which are soft and sweet. That said, it's twice the price or more. They serve their burgers with crinkle cut fries. Perhaps more flavorful on their own, but they can't hold a candle to Animal Style at In-n-Out

Honestly, the Shack Shack burger offers better meat, but when you consider the price, vastly superior service/happier employees, garnishes and sauce, In-n-Out has to edge out Shake Shack. If you could throw a Shake Shack patty on an In-N-Out burger, you may have the perfect fast food.

Thoughts?

Not cozy at all, not to mention it looks stupid because the hallway right outside the den is all very orangy soft white halogen lights. Won't do that again.

First, white is right, brother, don't be ashamed of your whiteness.
Second, the pure white light is fair superior. Orange light bad.
Third, the answer is hue adjusting LED lights that are network enabled. I personally prefer the dimmable, but you may prefer the hue adjustment. Change it, turn it on/off, through your phone or smart device.

Today the neighbor has some tree cutting service in the back lane doing major work to some of the huge trees in his yard.

They have the alley blocked off both ways which forces the poor little darling parents to park on the street and walk an additional 100 yards to the school.

Just like when the power company was changing out the telephone poles, some of them drive right up the signs and start arguing with the workers :lol: :lol:

My Dad spent years with that battle. He called Parking Enforcement so many times they knew him by first name and actually game him copies of a no parking sign that we were supposed to affix to the telephone poles ourselves.

After that little insane progression happened, my Dad kind of eased off being so militant. He put hooks on either side of our garage pad and used to string a rope across it so people wouldn't park on it or use it to turn around in the alley.

I was always at work so I never realized the battle was a real thing. I've had to go to the school and ask the principal to announce there's vehicles blocking a garage and I was late to work because of it.

In the times I've talked to some of the Moms, I've been sworn at and threatened, after I was polite and non aggressive about asking them not to park there.

I think the fine is up to 172 dollars this year and Parking Enforcement, when they show up, never will come at the right times. Sometimes I feel like I've inherited the war from my Dad and I laugh a little, but it's in danger of becoming an obsession for me and I don't want you guys to read a story about me flipping out in the news section :lol:

One day I had minor problems backing out of my garage because there were some vehicles parked on the other side of the alley. I could have backed out and made the reverse turn if I was careful.

Instead...I got of my car and slammed my car door loudly, took out my phone and ran around like I was taking pictures of the back of each vehicle. Some Moms were in the park with their kids so I said in a very loud voice - Hello can I have your attention! It's illegal to park in this alley for any reason and I can't get out of my garage! Please move your vehicles or they will be towed!!

They did and I became That Guy... :lol:

I think I would have loved a telescope back when I was a student in college. I knew all the coeds had no fear, and they wouldn't close their windows in their apartments in the building we all lived in. A few of them told me point blank that they loved walking around their apartments naked. God, I miss college.

Well, I am outside looking up at the skies more often than not when I know a meteor shower's coming... so I guess it's a cool gift. If nothing else, if I ever get the desire to see the 10 things that consumer telescopes are capable of rendering, I'll have it covered. Or if I ever move to a place where there's a bunch of college girls that leave their windows open and love to walk around naked...

About a month in using Opera for my browser and I can safely say I'll never go back to that awful thing that Firefox has morphed into. Between the extensions native available to Opera and the ones I can use at the Chrome store, I found either equal or better replacements than the ones I was using on FF (and replacements for ones that Mozilla stopped compatibility with :x ) and it runs so much faster and smoother. There are some drawbacks (Opera is slightly less customizable, but as I get used to where everything is, it's less of an annoyance), but as a whole, Opera has come a long way and I'm glad I switched.

Fucking Honeywell junk...we have a WiFi enabled programmable thermostat that we got only 3 or 4 years ago. The other day it dropped the WiFi signal and we couldn't connect to it. So yesterday I decided to try and see what was wrong with it (I figured it was our network at home, we've been having issues with the WiFi). So I tried to get it to connect. Nope. Cleared out the old network info from it to try and get it to connect. Nope. Did a factory reset to try and get it to connect. Nope. It appears that the WiFi capabilities just died, it won't broadcast or receive any wireless signals.

Fucking POS...it's of course out of warranty, but it's not that old that it should have crapped out in just a few years. And at the time, it wasn't a cheap thermostat either.

Oddly enough, I have an old pair of binoculars (used to belong to my Dad) that technically, according to websites, should work well enough to spot some celestial objects in the night sky. However, I can't use them or my new telescope, because the cloud cover for the past week has been nearly 100% every day, and the forecasts for the next week doesn't look like it's going to get any better. So I can't test the theory out for myself at this current point in time.

Apparently his art dealership made 6 million a year so he would have the means to do it.

And he's a fairly well spoken and well written author.
