Ha!

The Terminator came out in 1984. OJ’s trial was in 1994. And I’m sure James had watched Conan the Barbarian. Pretty sure OJ’s characters on film to that time were relatively tame (but none really...

Yup. Between my wife and daughter, if we were to move tomorrow, I’d be lucky getting away with only moving 3 five gallon pails of collected stones. And that would be leaving a few behind



I...

Ha! I have a 12x12x18 block of larch from a timberframe home builder. Love that chunk of wood, has a very stately lily on top of it in the living room by the TV. Damn think must weight close to 40kg....

Did OK with cursive in grade school, but my surveying and drafting instructor in college was a hardass. No matter how dark the evening outdoor lab, in the late fall sleet, those surveying notes on...

Hah. Late 70’s/early 80’s Volkswagens were similar. My scirocco key worked for my folk’s vanagon. Simpler times.

Heh. Pretty sure where we are on the less civilized side of the spectrum, but we use cloth. And might use the same one for more than one meal. :O
Paper towel only comes out accompanied with the...

Really? Huh.
All my vehicles have multiple stashed pens/pencils, and scraps of some kind of parchment. Fuel receipts, various lists of things to do, that note to the poor owner of the vehicle my...

What’s up with your grid that makes it so unreliable? I live in a small town on a single one-way 138kV line in mountainous terrain. No gas. Our hydro power since the 2003 fires has never gone out for...

LOL indeed. If the first comparable product the googles bring up is the one you are referring to, they wouldn’t last a week cruising PNW timber. They are not even caulked.
But somehow I don’t think...

Program Efficiency, Accountabilty, and Cost Effectiveness. Most folks always complain first about effectiveness and efficiency in govt expenditure, then wonder why accountability goes out the window....

Ha! Moose unlikely on this stretch, maybe a goat.

The moose that amused me was last week. Was looking over some ground near Blue R right next to the river. Met up with a ‘hunter’ while accessing...

Driving into the city this AM for a dentist appointment. Storm came through Sunday and the roads are still a bit treacherous. Drove by a couple pickups flipped on their roofs, and of course with that...

Preach. Love my newports even if I only get 2 summers out a pair (with reinforcement of the heal strap).

Hermaphrodite, Monoecious, Androecious, Gynoecious, Andromonoecious, Gynomonoecious, Trimonoecious/polygamous. Using wind, water, insect and animal pollinators. There’s something for everyone’s kink.

Sex among the plant kingdom is pretty crazy. On the seed front, in ecologies that have rare or infrequent stand initiating events, the ability of pioneer and colonizer species to seedbank in the duff...

But his patient was!

It wasn’t until the move to Nelson in the mid 80’s the house got a second phone. Dad splurged and got a cordless. Analog, so great range (maybe 150 or 200m), but picked up interference too easily. My...

You had more than one phone? Bringing on the ritz!

Party lines! Those were fun! And a whole different era of consideration for your neighbours.

We love our bug wacker. Unfortunately, our hound has taken an extreme dislike to the bzzsnap, and will seek cover in the deepest thicket she can find. Wasn't so bad with the older ones from few years...

Lets just leave the Krauts out of this, okay?

How do you tell if a fence is goat proof? Take a bucket of water and throw it at the fence; if any water passes through, so will a goat.

But they are cool animals for sure. Those square pupils are...

2. Cabbage patch kid?
4. Flavor Fav of Public Enemy
Eta: I see the guy you mean now. Not FF. The hair seems familiar, but can't place the forehead tattoo.

So it is. Good eye.

Up in Smoke was '78, but they have R2D2 (ESB was '80) so I dunno.

I was going to say 'where's Alien' but that was '79

We call it snow fever here. Gotta reduce that fever temp somehow!

Heh. That's blowing up on my facebook feed. Very well done!

Don’t forget the dutch hoe!
