Damned aliens and their gang graffiti!
I've dove the Blue Hole on Long Island in the Bahamas - purported to be over 600 feet to the bottom - and it was hella clear for at least a couple hundred feet down. This must be incredibly clear water - but it doesn't have to deal with tides and rotting coral, either...
Awww....
The Bahamas has some amazing clear water. I have sailed over the Great Bahamas Bank a few times and even though it is about 20 ft deep for 60 miles or so, it was so clear it was like sailing in air.

For something completely different...here is a nine barrel "coach gun".
Apparently, the user would brace the stock against the coach drivers' seat frame before firing this beyotch for effect...

How awesomely Orwellian would that have been? 
This would take some pondering before deciding...
Back at the farm. When leaving Great Falls, this guy was ahead of us at the junction just north of town. Not the best picture but the license plate reads “MALTSTR”. There is a large Malteurop plant just up the road from this location.
wth?
Well, you’ve heard of the Weinermobile, I guess this is the Buttered Toastmobile.
Ok, I can accept the reality of its existence, but the Weinermobile was a marketing thing for an actual product line.
I'm not sure who/what the heck this toaster and butter thing is representing. Land O' Lakes?

Nice picture. Grew up about a mile from there. Could hear the tugboats on the Mississippi when sitting outside on a humid St. Louis evening
Ran out of gas smack dab in the middle of that thing once in high school too!
And with each passing year it has gotten harder for me to find someone slower than me

to hell with the Weinermobile
Our ca. 1963, two-story, Fridgidaire stove, and the wall oven in the kitchen, are getting quite a workout this week. My wife and DIL are making pies for a fundraiser for the swim team one of our grandsons is on. Eighteen apple pies yesterday, nine blueberry and eleven triple berry pies today. We have quite a production line going.
I have an old friend in NYC living in the house his parents left him with a range like that.
To me it's as cool as an Edsel - which I always thought was cool
Cheers!

When I finally accommodated The Spousal Unit's request to gut the kitchen and dining room to the studs and subflooring and start over, we discovered the original backsplash tiles were avocado but had been covered with a layer of subway tiles (before their time, mind you - this was 1988). I found a similar paradigm in the shared bath - the classic Harvest Gold scheme had been buried under a layer of blue-on-white tree tiling.
Woof. Soo glad that's all behind us
Cheers!

Actually, that stove is in my brew space in the basement, next to my 1949 Hotpoint ferm fridge and about 8 feet from my ‘57 Chevy turquoise GE kegerator. We got the stove from my wife’s college roommate (who is married to one of my college roommates) about 20 years ago. She called my wife and asked if we had any use for an old stove that still worked as they were remodeling their kitchen. Said we could have it if we came to visit for a weekend. So, we hauled it home and planted it in the basement. It probably gets used a couple of times a month and everything works except the clock. The self cleaning feature on the lower oven even works but has to be turned on and off manually due to the busted clock.
I’ve been thinking about expanding my collection of old, colorful, appliances by acquiring another fridge for lagering and storing kegged beer waiting to move to the kegerator. I can’t decide between Harvest Gold or Coppertone. Maybe I should start a poll...
Shortly after we were married we bought a mid ‘60s vintage, 10’x55’ trailer. We lived in it (and moved it twice) for 3 years. It had Coppertone appliances, so there is the nostalgia factor.
2nd Moderna Day for The Spousal Unit and I 
Nice day for it, too - looked like the Revolution were having an intersquad scrimmage down there.
When we were there exactly four Wednesdays ago the field was being stripped down to the dirt. I need those guys to do my lawn
Roughly 30 minutes later I actually had a 15 second period of light-headedness that gave me pause - as I was still rolling along a couple miles from home - but nothing since...

I had Moderna in Jan/Feb. No issue with first. Second gave me full-on flu symptoms about 12 hours after the shot that lasted for 12 hours and then stopped abruptly. Chills, aches, fatigue, nausea, headache and ringing in the ears. No fever at all tho. It was pretty weird. I know of quite a few people who felt fatigue but nobody who got symptoms like mine. I missed a day of work. Most had no problem at all other than a sore arm. Makes me think the real virus might have eaten my lunch.2nd Moderna Day for The Spousal Unit and I

I had the same thing happen to me today. About an hour after my second shot I suddenly got hit by a wave of lightheadedness. Just long enough to make me think "ok here we go" and then it passed. Nothing since, my arm even feels better than the first one.
Thanks to those who had similar brief weird experiences with the C-19 shots. Reassuring.
Wanna know something extra weird though? At this very moment, my left shoulder is suddenly sore (shot #1) while my right shoulder (shot #2) has no idea there's been anything going on today

Right then, I would definitely pee elsewhere!
Just randomly thought of this Canadian beer we used to drink in the 70's -- "Just Say Uncle"
Anynody need beef?
Ok, I've given ^that^ a lot of thought over the last minute, and it's so wrong, no matter whether that's a chick or worse, a dude!
