I like this time at night on HBT

Busted toes suck, but they do get better. As long as it isn't severely dislocated it will be OK. I broke the hell out of my big toe a couple years ago. It was slow to heal, but it did heal. Tape it to its neighbor as best as you can and don't mess with it. It will get better.



It sounds like you need more vodka Bobbi Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder, or something like that.

Good idea, I remember seeing that on of those survival shows, I've got it taped to it's neighbor now. Fourth toe over is the ****ed up one, taped it to the third toe. Yeah, more vodka will help the hydrocodone work better too, and make the flowers so pretty again.

Hydrocodone is almost always paired with acetaminophen (tylenol), which doesn't play well with alcohol. Go easy on the booze... your liver will thank you

Some good news on the walnut front. The tree isn't dead. A couple of the lower growth buds are leafing out. It's probably lost a year or more of growth though. With it weakened like that I'll be crossing all available body parts that it lives through the winter.

Thought of you yesterday Sailor. My father called to tell me a bear cub (I think we have browns around my dad's place but I wouldnt swear to it) got into the garbage. Dad chased him off banging a pot with a ladel and got a very dirty look from mama who was in the woods.

Saw a roadkill black bear cub in VA driving home from Philly. Never seen a roadkill bear before. Black bears are pretty cute and it made me sad.

BL- Broken digits aren't doctor worthy, but if your whole damn foot is swollen and turned color, get somewhere to have it looked at. ER somewhere, urgent care is a joke.

Depending on it's size a covered and packed with leaves will protect it from the worst.

Yeah, when it starts getting cold this winter I'll probably do the rose bush thing. IE: Wrap it in newspaper.

I knew the fermenter was too small. Added Fermcap S. Should have used a blow-off tube.

Fixed. I think.

Yup. You should have used a blow tube.

Yep that's probably true. But then LRB wouldn't have a cool video to post.

Aloha,

Catching up on the last few pages.

Northern Lights. I've never seen them but have always heard they are spectacular. On my Bucket List. I remember nights at sea with the most beautiful sky above. While at sea in the Indian Ocean I once counted 6 shooting stars in a 15-20 minute span. Sunrises, sunsets and the night sky are nearly always beautiful at sea. Especially around the equator. There is very little ambient light and the air is crystal clear. Makes for a view God must of intended for us all.

You know what among many other things is pretty cool about being at sea? Porpoises, dolphins maybe. (I'm not a Marine Biologist) Those creatures love to escort ships, even one as big as an aircraft carrier. They swim alongside, jump in the air like they are riding up an invisible ramp. They will escort a ship for days, day and night. Right up on the front of the bow. I never understood why, but it is pretty cool.

The beauty of the planet and universe we live in is overwhelming and we all sometimes take a little for granted this breathtaking wonder which we have been blessed .

The previous threads also reminded me of Antarctica, on sunny summer December mornings, its bright blue sky, and of the wondrous blue light reflecting off the ice laden Antarctic glaciers and mountains. On the bad days, there was ice fog and sometimes high winds and snow. It could get a bit rough at times. You take the good with the bad, however, both beautiful still.

Something about all this makes me remember the aroma of cedar trees while driving through the Liki Liki highway in Hawaii. And, the cool crisp smell of the giant Redwoods in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Some days it's easy to forget what a beautiful world we live in with all the crap going on. Crap, man induced. I'm not going there.

Starry Starry Night. Between Pappy's space station videos and the time lapsed picture of our night sky in this beautiful place we call home, a song came to mind. Don McClean wrote a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, in 1971. It's not like I was old enough to remember the year the song came out but I do remember this.

Peace,

Dan

So, this guitar stuff. My son plays very very well, he's been playing for 8-9 years. My brother is a few years younger than me and has been playing since he was around 15, so 20-30 years. My youngest daughter been playing 6-7 weeks. She spends a lot of time learning to play and has the talent. She has already become pretty freaking good at playing. I'm not kidding. She's really darn good.

Me? I'm still trying to make a note, or chord sound nice and repeatable. It's going to be a lengthy journey. For whatever reason, I'm no good at this guitar playing stuff. But I have plenty of time on my hands. Will learn even if no talent. I'll learn at least one song.. Might take me many years. Much akin to brewing beer in that aspect.

I know there are several of you that live in northern California and I saw this link and figured I'd share. You know, in case you had nothing better to do than go on a beer Geo-caching expedition!



P.S. - I'd totally try to find at least one of these if I was anywhere close!

Reading Frozen in Time (Coast Guard Duck Hunt). Turning into a great read. Of course I also liked Lost in Shangri-La.

The redwoods sure were beautiful. I haven't been there since I was a little kid.

Beautiful painting, even if it was done for a MTG card.

I haven't played that or collected them in about 15 years. Is that just a forest?

Yup. It's been about 12 years for me. I remember I used to play this one a lot, because I like the picture.

Have you guys ever seen a knife design like this?

My first reaction was "cool!". Then I started thinking, and I don't think it would actually be that useful. Kitchen knives vary more then just in size. I bet only two of those knives are really useful. The chefs knife, and the pairing knife.

They stack inside each other, yes?

I think I've seen that in a Lee Valley catalog.

Chef's knife and paring knife are all most people need anyways. If the middle knife was serrated it'd be perfect.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Are there four knifes total (two still in the block) ?

 

[Dan]

As always, LRB the riddle master.

I'm not up late, but early, no matter. While in PA visiting my mom's side of the family, I starting planning a meeting of the cousins on my dad's side for the following day. Went from 4 people to 24 people in a matter of hours. My dad and his 6 siblings do not get along, but us cousins get along just fine. If the older people in the family want to plan their own get-together and invite the drama kings and queens, so be it. Us cousins just want to get together and have fun, like when we were kids. I don't want the vacation time to get too hectic, but seems silly to be in town and not meet up with my favorite cousins, or all my cousins, even the worst of them aren't as bad as the older people in the family, all resentful of each other. All the older folks in the family are spread out in different states anyway, a lot of the cousins are still around.

Bobbilynn, you are no fool. Do what you think is best. Your happiness and your cousins' is what counts. No need to disrespect elders. I'm fairly confident you know what to do.
