This is the best wine Aktungbby knows about ... I doubt if he would give anything better

Moira's kitchen clock packed up last week so on Friday she got this. She now can't abide it... it makes a noise like a tractor idling and she says that every time she looks at it, it makes her feel seasick

Mr Quatro · 05-19-20, 09:56 AM

I thought all clocks had the same numbers even though they were for other nations ... not so.

Here's a Chinese version with english words ... strange

Apologies for my seemingly insensitive post following this report of yours, Aktung... I was in a hurry and only skimmed over the last part of yours. I'm so glad they're all okay, mate

Aktungbby · 05-20-20, 04:56 PM

no apology needed; my daughter's pretty mad at the guy she hit. I had to explain the automotive facts to her. No sense getting mad...and the insurance is settling $6500 on the car ,an '07 bought used, with 140k miles and two previous accidents. That goes to her new wheels. Considering the hard lesson learned, she'll probably drive more defensively from here on out.

Reminds me of the way peoples driving would often change when they saw me in their rear view mirror.

Gotcha! same here as I drove a Navy Police emblazoned patrol vehicle with redlights on the air base police detail graveshift. If I spotted a tailight out, I'd pull them over on a weekend evening where young 20's something(kids with kids!

) enlisted Coast Guard were based; headed offbase for a social evening out. It would not do to get pulled over for a taillight fixit violation by municipal police or CHP and then get caught with too much alcohol. One should become the designated driver for the evening...and carry spare bulbs! I never heard anything but thankyou. A conviction could've cost them their military job, alot of money, and their free housing. The daughter's surgery is today. She'll recuperate at our place; Mom is quite delighted to have her baby home for awhile. Apparently they only sedate lightly, remaining conscious, for the procedure pinning the wrist bones. Baby did not appreciate my humor: "You are at 'wrist' everytime you get behind the wheel

" We're checking out 2019 fleet Subarus with less than 10k miles on them to rehorse the lass; the customary Memorial Day auto sale and my timely Federal stimulus check should help pare down the tab...

Watching The Enemy Below and just realized Gene Roddenberry must have borrowed heavily in the old Star Trek episode, "Balance of Power" where the evil Romulans violate the neutral zone with their cloaking device and limited-range plasma weapon only to be thwarted by the adept Enterprise's crew in a a chesslike
stealth match of brains 'twixt opposing commanders....which I saw last night on the Star Trek channel

In fact, Gene Roddenberry admitted the " The Enemy Below " formed the basis for " Balance of Terror." It remains one of the most favorite star trek original episodes.

Jeeze! Thanks for that info; if I can still connect a plot-line the morning from the night before...I don't need Aricept...quite yet!

You're welcome.

Ironically, i caught the Star trek episode, " Balance of Terror " and also the Enemy Below with Robert Mitchum and Kurt Jurgens, last week along with Midway with Charleton Heston.

I very much enjoyed them all.

Spent most of yesterday at my daughters celebrating my granddaughters first birthday alongside the other grandparents and the five God Parents. (Social distancing was adhered to)

Very nice Jim. Lovely family photo.

The little one seems quite focused on her food.

Cheers Marcel, yes that was her first piece of birthday cake and after initially studying it she soon wolfed it down.

Jimbuna · 05-31-20, 01:29 PM

Took an eighty mile round trip to Hexham today for this and here she is after assembly.
