Good grief!
We have an old Victorian house built in 1889, 137 yrs old. Still rock solid on a stone foundation. Very little is level or plumb anymore, adds to the character. As for modern day construction, I spent 20 yrs in residential construction, 10 yrs framing houses, 10 yrs working on existing homes. I never once witnessed any work like the OP or left a job looking like that. Not easy when you're working on homes 200 yrs old. We called it pride and taking ownership of your work. I changed careers in 1994 and became a physical therapist for the last 32 yrs. I'm a lucky fellow to have two careers vastly different, but I loved them both. Retired now, thank God.๐คธโโ๏ธ

I like the new look...
Sorry, but I really don't like the new look and format. That's just me.

I kid you not!
Almost. That's our Shepsky when she was a pup. I just became the human blank pistol๐

Apparently 12" vinyl records can fly like frisbies.
That's sacrilege! You don't mess with the man, aka Eric Clapton.

I kid you not!
My wife had mine re-routed years ago. I couldn't understanding why she took me to the vets office without any of our pets?๐ I wonder if you can get the metal-coated helix structures in Ferrari Red?

More and more runway/taxiway incidents...
I wanted to come back as a bird in my next life before I saw this. Yuck!

Another "wonder" health food.
Lucky for me, my wife and I love fresh cooked beets. Slice them a little on the thin side, saute them in a mix of butter and olive oil with a little salt and pepper, delicious!

I enjoy solitude, but I think I'll go for the cabin in the woods.

Watch the movie "Knowing." A wee bit depressing.

United plane hits bakery truck.
I heard on the news that airliners normally have about 90ft of clearance over the turnpike when landing on runway 29. Yikes!

Sorry, no Skynet taxi for me. Give me the crusty old Uber driver any day.๐

United plane hits bakery truck.
I've driven the NJ turnpike past the Newark Airport, EWR, at least a couple hundred times. I've never seen any aircraft use the runway perpendicular to the turnpike(11/29), only the runways that run ~ parallel. Runway 4L/22R is 11,000 ft and 4R/22L is 10,000 ft long. Why have a 767 land on runway 11/29 that is only 6,700 ft long. Landing distance for a 767 is 5000 to 6,000 ft. The ATC's fault or the pilot trying to stick the landing on a short runway? Anyway, the poor truck driver deserves a raise and a commendation of some sort. Addendum: I just read that they were directed to use runway 29 due to windy conditions.

ACME is back ! Protest lawsuit filed !
I'm going shopping at ACME market today to pick up a few things. I remember when their fresh ground Eight 0'Clock coffee was the best. I wish they sold rocket powered backpacks.๐

300 mph... anyone?
I would love to see someone take it up to 300 mph/483 kph on a closed course. Has this been done yet and is there a video of it? I assume it's a weeeeeeee bit expensive.
-
Too fast for me!
About 150 mph tops for me on a 190 hp motorcycle. It was on a race track, not a road. 150 mph gets your attention. It's the 70ยฐ right hand turn at the end of the front straight that makes you ๐ฉ your pants.

5 year old recalls past life!

Pilots at Reagan National meowing and barking 8-\
I wonder if the meow-meow-meow pilot is one of the cat loving members here?๐ผ It's okay, you can speak up, we won't tell.๐ Being one of the few dog lovers here, ruff-ruff-ruff wasn't me๐ถ BTW, loved the "RJ" comment. Brutal!

OK, now I'm worried
We have three dogs Noel. They all have the look of either I didn't do it or I don't have a clue.

Leon going to the dogs
I believe that was Invasion of Money Snatchers hook.๐

Leon going to the dogs
That's just creepy๐ Wouldn't be surprised if there were millions of them walking the streets spying on us soon.
