Watching the flight path of a General Atomics MQ-9 Predator B.
Maybe a test flight or a training flight but it's intesesting. |
Having been to the bank yesterday I went into town this afternoon and purchased a pack of christmas cards and envelopes.
Put some money into each one and can now confidently say my christmas present shopping is all sorted :salute: |
So. How much did you send me?
:hmmm: |
About $50 more than you sent me :)

28.57 is where the book really starts, before that there's a pompous introduction by some Academic, it's best to completely skip it. :) The Audiobook of "Street without Joy" by Bernard B Fall. That's what I'm doing right now....lying in bed listening to it. Great book :) |

Jeeze! I'll finally be able to afford becoming a bluemaxed :subsim: Overlord instead of a mi$anthropic-mi$creant first officer/occasional admiral!:arrgh!:

I very much doubt you'll ever feast at the top table though :D
|
I'll have to content myself jus' dining graciously on an elevated dias...with my silver spoon in my gaping maw! :Kaleun_Salivating::Kaleun_Party:

The wife and I will be at our daughters but the difference being this time Lauren is preparing and cooking the meal herself.
I think it prudent if I put some ready prepared food on standby back at our place of abode :) |
Surf's (way) up!
Enjoying the 'atmospheric river' keeping the fire-danger down as New Years approaches. Having guarded the biopic movie: Chasing Mavericshttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...cks_Poster.jpg Half Moon Bay beach scenes for a long month back in 2010-11, where even Gerard Butler was injured while surfing and the actual surfing competion has been cancelled since 2016 due to the extreme danger, and Jay Moriarity about whom the movie was about, eventually died freediving in the Maldives; I was shocked to see this video of the 40 ft. + surf-waves battering the California coastline including Mavericks yesterday with surfer JoJo Roper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NwPiSRXRU8 Even my own brother, a lifelong California surfer, won't surf here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMChBJZUDK8

After a solid week of 'atmospheric river' rainy drizzle, the Pineapple Express, stretching from Hawaii, is blasting the Bay Area with 80 mph winds and solid rain! I had to go forth and recover the the BBQ. Good thing I had a spot of sunshine enough to mow the lawns two days ago!:yeah: ...and I can't complain; the reservoirs in drought-stricken, fire-ravaged California are at their highest levels in years! The largest, Lake Shasta, has actually had to open its floodgates to avoid damaging the dam.
Now if some of it would just get back down into the over-farmed groundwater tables...we'd be lookin good! |
I just got my box from AMZ delivered. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:
I knew it was a long shot but I ordered 12 tins of these puppies: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...300_SY300_.jpg .. which no longer exist, since Bumble Bee Tuna bought out Beach Cliff several years ago. Still, maybe a store somewhere had some old cases in the warehouse? :hmmm: No joy, what I got are the Sardines which are still great but the fish steaks were awesome. Chopped Norwegian small Herring in hot sauce, which no longer exist. :Kaleun_Salivating::Kaleun_Cheers: |
