^ Everyone who causes chaos and semi destruction where ever they go should be so equipped and have a jacket like that.


Looks good.

I love the Irvin jacket but I think some of those garden ornaments belong in this other place: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...79&postcount=1

It's official: per the U.S. Drought Monitor: the county is no longer "in drought". The last series of Bomb Cyclones, Pineapple Expresses, and plain ol' Atomospheric Rivers... "turned the tide"?! 33 inches of rain has fallen in my yard...good but not like the 55 inches in '82-83' or 2016 when we got 45 inches. The record stunning snowpack in the Sierras is over 500 inches. Skiing is expected to last through July. The snow melt should add to the watertable. The sad part is while the rivers streams, and creeks are running rampant, storage of the water is nonexistent against future need-it largely flows to the sea. The groundwater levels and aquifers, relentlessly pumped out by large-scale agriculture are barely replenished and desperately need refilling. The government needs to enhance it storage strategy to better utilize the gift we've been getting.

Watching Howard Hawks WWI classic 1930 flick: "Flight Commander" on the TCM channel during 'Oscar's month' with my WSJ and cuppa-Joe! A mini-vacation ensues today as the wife and daughter are out to a critical dress fitting for the pending nuptials this month!

You should have bugged Eichhörnchen for a new round of W-A-S.

Now, you're stuck having to paint the boat.

Default Covid not thy neighbor's wife nor the sheep of his pasture

...why bother when you can get it at home! My wife came down with a positive test result for Covid about two days ago...I caught up on Thursday after reshoeing my car's front-drive axel; and have been hacking, coughing, sneezing in shivering misery ever since;(even as I post) and also tested positive this AM after a non-result 36 hours previously?! Spent all Friday in bed with the chills. Our physician states the current Covid variant is little worse than a cold....all well and good except when your already in sub-par condition at age 72. The traditional Easter dinner is cancelled; we don't want the daughter and her fiànce getting this just in time for the big wedding on the 29 of this month!

I'm eating Pasta Bolognese after having seen my football team winning 2-1.

We also just cancelled a trip to the mother in law's for Easter dinner after another family member showed up there with a very bad "cold" - we're hoping she'll go home (she was planning to stay over) but I think it was stupid to turn up there in the first place

I decided not to launch with an Easter W-A-S this year as I thought I'd be too busy - how about we have a special Wedding Day Whackfest on the 29th instead? Just kidding - I wouldn't want to get you in troube lol

Awoke yesterday morning with one side of my head and face extremely sore and the right side of my mouth slightly twisted.

Four and a half hours later after undergoing an ECG and various blood tests it would appear I have an infected tooth.

Ouch, and just of all during the Easter holidays
Hope you get some antibiotica. Get well soon.

The Doc at the hospital gave me a box each of two types Kai so the weeks supply should suffice *fingers crossed*
