Gumpette got to ride her new bike for the first time last night.

Her brother was ready to go too😁

Not a parody this time but part of my collection. Here's some general research for project background.

Screwed up with that middle R in guess #4 but I guess it still got the job done.

because I'm a West coaster and sleeping when all you people are up already. Now I'm in copenhagen and I can say FIRST...potd That is all

After three seasons of camping, the floor is getting a bit grungy looking. Wife decided she wants to change it to blue anyway so this weeks project is to strip everything out, give it a good scrub and a fresh coat of paint. Got the clean out and the scrubbing done so now it’s on to the paint.

Thanks. Whelp, they have it, 4-6 weeks from receipt (8/23). Call a number if traveling in 2 weeks & haven't received it yet. She may be good. I hope so.

The locals are certainly dressed better than 'mericans. I have not seen a pair of sweats or pajamas on the street yet

@Parr8hed, do you have an amazing brain or do you cheat?

Met my cousins at their cabin which is in the mountains due west of Bishop (30 miles south of Mammoth. Bishop creek flows near their cabin. Sunrise over the mountain. Bishop Creek.

I haven’t been up here in ages and I forgot how much I love the area. I am taking a lot of pictures to share. On the tide up, volcanic formations.

When eating leftovers? Wo46 has to have everything warmed up and most times I just grab and eat. I just got use to just eating it cold because we would have 30 people hitting the break room at the same time and only 3 microwaves and with only 15 minutes for break it was easier and faster. The only time I would have time to warm things up is when I would take my break separate from everyone else.

I’m pretty much ‘a beer should be a beer’ kind of person. If you want a beer, drink a beer. If you want water, drink water (or Coors)... 😉

I'd give them a 0% chance of showing up in my home

Try under the mattress, older people like to stash stuff there

They are in the R&R HOF. Rick, Robin, and Bun signed my copy of the Dream Police. Rick drew a pic of himself. My parents took me to an ice arena in Rockford to meet them. Rick was kicked out of his HS band. He called the band teacher a drunk.

It's in the last place you will look for it

Sorry that was a sachet of macarons. Very tasty. This is the content you were promised. And the chapeu I purchased just in time for the rain

I had a Tailor from the old country-Italy, and he had special cable channels to watch the Italian Liga. I said , Oh, you’re watching ladies football. He wasn’t that good of a tailor, because on of my pant legs came out longer than the other.

Lounge lizard. We were a bit disappointed at the Star Alliance lounge at LAX. Meh food that was cold and the lounge was pretty full. Couple guys across from us sucked down 4 beers. Then we're on our flight and had a couple more. We really liked the Alaska lounge at LAX. Will go there on our return trip. Hot dog in Paris Costco Cafe. We are hanging out while it rains

Then you must be doing sex wrong

Depends on the food. I generally warm it. But if you reheat too much, you're often gonna mess it up.

Well funny you should ask… It looks like we are for sure doing the 40 miler for the Mammoth Gran Fondo. But since I’m not worried about saving my legs I went on an hour ride of mixed dirt road & trail. I was at about 8K feet elevation and actually felt OK. Pretty good really.

Airplanes have a lot more in common with heavy equipment than sports cars

1/48 scale

Can you fit that in the basement? Do you have to take the wings off first?

They should be with adequate water and shade. They are out in the cool of the morning and evening and shade up the rest of the day.

Are you going to visit the factory where they make the chewing tobacco?

Owens river just south of Mammoth

Lake Mary, fished for an hour before sunset.

Well it’s natural for me. I always liked them.

Speaking of mammoths: I took my dad on a trip out to Yellowstone and places in between in July 1991 when he was in a partial remission state, felt good, but we knew he was very likely to die of cancer the next year. I wanted to show him the huge buffalo herds in Custer State Park, SD, which is a little ways south of Mount Rushmore. We looked and looked and could find no more than one at a time. I tried to drive one a rutted dirt road in my Chevy Corsica, but we reached a point were the ruts went deeper - so we had to back out for about 1/4 mile. We gave up looking for Bison and decided to check out the "Mammoth Site" to the south of the park, where fossils of mammoths, giant sloths, etc. that had gotten stuck in a bog had been found, were on display and volunteers were still excavating more of them as you watched. So we turned a corner leading to the south park entrance/exit and there they were (pic below)! Hundreds of bison. We stood in my car's doorways - Dad on the bisons' field side and getting a thrill every time a big, 2000 lb. bull would get within 20 feet of him and he'd jump back inside the car! It was a fantastic 2-week trip with South Dakota's Wall Drug store, Badlands National Park, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer, Mammoth, 7th Cavalry Museum, Bear Butte the sacred Sioux/Cheyenne site. We also saw one of the fairly new B1B bombers over I-90 and we followed it along the side roads until we were stopped by armed Air Force guards with guns drawn! We didn't realize we were on off-limits roads near Ellsworth Air Force Base! They let us take a peak at a parked B1B in the distance then told us to leave! Then onto Wyoming and Devils Tower, the Wagon Box Fight site, the Fort Phil Kearny site along the old Bozeman Trail, the Fetterman Massacre site, and we stumbled on a rodeo - we'd never seen one - in Sheridan, arriving 5 min. before it started! Then onto Montana and Little Bighorn Battlefield (the park was called the Custer Battlefield then), then a night at a Motel 6 in Billings before going on to Yellowstone National Park for 3 days. We talked a little about what Dad wanted me to do after he was gone, but mostly we just had fun. Dad passed away the following April. The Army usually paid the cost for one line on a tombstone, dad's being, "Sgt. U.S. Army WW2" but they paid for two lines for Dad's, the 2nd one being, "Darby's Rangers."
