Sorry. Cats suck but having a bike doesn't suck more (+1,800 points) than the suck quotient of the feline (-1,200 points). Net gain 600 points.
ps I'm allergic too
hahahaha, good luck.
pps the mask I won continues to bring the laughs from the Terrace populace.

Nice ride! Extra points because it isn’t cheese.

Which Cabot can you get in CO? In VT, Costco has three different ones. There's a reserve in a black wrapper that is the bomb. There's one with a white wrapper that is a good balance of price and sharp that is a good daily driver. I think they use some fancy terms like reserve and private stock. The "Seriously Sharp" in the Lumbersexual wrapper is a joke. A butter knife is sharper than that. A sharp cheddar should not be at all creamy in texture.

Looking for a solution for some home monitoring for a cabin. Had viasat wifi installed recently because the place gets no cell service and there's no land line either. Looking for a couple cameras (neighbors were broken into recently) and a couple temp monitoring stations (baseboard heat set low to keep pipes from freezing).

Starting from scratch on this. What brand or family of products should I be looking at?

It's not one I've seen in Vermont, at least not packaging-wise. It's the standard sharp, packaged in black wax in a two pound block. So nothing super special, just your basic sharp cheddar.

Ak-mak is in the house, along with some Wasa crisp bread or w/e they call that stuff. Will investigate and report back with my findings.

What do you think happened to this guy?

Found in a dark corner of the basement of a house I'm remodeling.

**Cruiser** · 03-20-2021, 11:06 PM

Looks like natural causes to me

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 03-21-2021, 04:39 PM

Looks like he died.

Auto erotic asphyxiation. Had the rope around his neck a little too long.

Certain bird species are known for this.

Venetian blinds can cause accidental strangulation
Curtains too, apparently. Lazy pun about "it was curtains for the bird"

Anyone know where to by really big wall art? Not really thinking framed painting but more like big canvas. Preferably 72’’ x 72’’ but would do horizontal or vertical if the dimensions were close to 5 or 6 feet each way.

Striking out at all the main places like greatbigcanvas, art.com, society6, icanvas, etc etc. I’ll send a sixer to someone who can find me a cool 6x6 foot canvas print, maybe abstract with interesting colors but up for anything someone thinks is cool.

I think these are technically on metal rather than canvas. It's a crazy process, and IMS many were large scale as described--different, anyway:

many art galleries will have some large wall art and many times it is not framed as they let the buyer decide if they want that and what kind of frame

**Art Shirk** · 03-23-2021, 12:00 PM

Thanks for all the replies. Actually stumbled on a new site last night and pulled the trigger on a piece. But I do have some more spaces to fill, so will check out the other recs. The Trujillo stuff looks very interesting.

Have you tried dipping a basketball in paint and just making your own?

**ötzi** · 03-23-2021, 06:55 PM

How about a textile?

Curtains?

Maybe a nice big window to go with the curtains?

90% of what I have seen out there for thousands of dollars is no better than if I set my kids loose with a basketball and paint on a homemade canvas, so this isnt far off.
