At the risk of going off no topic - is there any interest in old Polaroid B&W cameras?

My conundrum watching my son at football games: I want to see him play and I don't want to see him play at the same time.

Why? he only plays (or mostly only plays) when the team does not make a first down as he is the punter

and only 3 or 4 more High school games left, depending on how the playoffs go. Hope he gets picked up for college ball.

I'm honing my skills at wood working. Our new house is nearing completion and I am doing all of the wood work. Just finishing up the window shutters now, after which I will launch into doors. I've not yet built a full size door, but it's been on the list for a good while. And then the cabinets. Everything so far is solid tropical cedar, which is immune to both termites and rot. I will likely use some plywood in the cabinetry.
I like both stouts and porters, as well as pale ales, but can no longer drink lagers. And I drink my coffee stronger than anyone else I know.

I have no real excuse, and am now only a train ride away from NYC. Finding time is the trick. A trip to the city might be a good present for the Ms...hmm. She and I saw the Nutcracker at a pretty good theater in the New Haven area last winter - what happened to most everyone dressing up for these events? Not that it matters.

Ah, I read a few of his novels and short stories years ago along with a bit of Camus. ******* stands out. I forgot most of it, but remember imagining the architecture and landscapes being Escher-ish. Think I need to revisit some of the books I have stashed away.

I like an A&W rootbeer float.

The power of compound if you're going to hunt with it. The simple beauty of recurve if you're going to shoot targets... at least according to me.

Seriously you'll have a fine time with either!

What's it matter? She'll have a fine time with either!
Don't let anyone tell her that girls aren't strong enough to drum: Ever see Terry Bozzio play? He drums like a dancer, all balance and fluid movement.

Ha, that's a name I didn't think I'd ever see here [MENTION=306057]obrentharris[/MENTION]. Looks like fun music, Ex Pres.

RAMONES.

That is all. Gabba gabba hey!

What about Cactus Moser? (Hwy 101 drummer, now Wynonna's husband). The drummer pic was taken in the kitchen of a house he previously lived in. My daughter lived there for about 6 months. Kind of a dump. :)

I love my cat :)

Someone is likely to be itching in a day or two.

I like my cat, too.

My cat is actually a dog. I have even told him he's a dog, but he thinks by ignoring me he can convince me he's a cat. Sneaky.

I bought myself a high end power washer. I am a dealer for the company so I got it at a great price. I splurged and ordered it with the aluminum frame instead of the standard steel one. It saved a chunk of weight, but when I push it around the push seems harsh and hard on my hands. I wonder if it would have a better feel with the steel frame? Maybe they make a carbon handle bar I could install for a better feel.

Awesome!

My favorite saddles have been the Avocet Touring II and the San Marco "Touring" saddle. The big drag about the San Marco is that it doesn't have bag loops. (who designs a touring saddle without bag loops?)

In terms of comfort- they seem about equal, and they seemed to be the fine examples of the plastic saddle with padding and a leather cover. They seem very well supportive- and just right for my sit bones. Judging from the ubiquity of the Avocet saddles, they appear to work well for a lot of different people.

Last summer I got a Brooks B17 (actually a birthday present). IMMEDIATELY I noticed a huge difference in "support" with the B17- and it made sense why so many people are so happy with their B17 saddles. I started getting kind of angry at myself for not checking out a B17 sooner. Although there was some aspect of "I don't need to spend the money for a Brooks and I don't want the hassle of a leather saddle and I don't want to wreck an expensive Brooks leather saddle," the majority of my decision making process was that the Avocet and the San Marco worked well for me.

After "discovering" the B17, I went nutty and bought a Brooks Cambium C17 based mostly on [MENTION=201510]AZORCH[/MENTION]'s blog and his posts here. That saddle is gloriously dominant. I'm still not sold on the look, and it doesn't play well with one pair of shorts I have (the cloth cover acts like Velcro). It's even more comfortable than the B17 and just knowing it's weatherproof made it really worth it for me. Of course, the Avocet Touring II and the San Marco can be found for around $25- and the Brooks saddles are not found near that price.

I'm glad there's a thread here that's devoted to dispelling the saddle ignorance that's spread by stupid people parroting garbage they read on the internetz.

Cats are alright....they taste like chicken....we'll that's what my dog says anyway.

I have zero experience with building stuff that requires any precision, but I just picked up a 12" compound miter saw and plan on trying to work towards competence this winter. Any suggestions for how-to sites would be very welcome. I also realize I will probably need some other tools (a router comes to mind). Tips on that welcome too.

Make mine with French Vanilla ice cream....which I'm told by the French doesn't really exist since vanilla is from Vietnam. I'm betting that Vietnam Vanilla ice cream probably couldn't be marketed as successfully.

Vietnam was a French colonial holding, so perhaps there's something to it there.

Yeah, we see what you did there!

Don't need no stinking brakes in my dreams. :)

Count fingers before and after use.
