I saw this in someone's signature line in a post from 2011 in another forum. Ha!

Phenylephrine doesn't work. Heck I could have told them that years ago.

They got him! He put up an impressive SERE performance but you can't outrun an IR sensor forever.

Dishwasher pissed on my kitchen floor last night.

Good thing we were all still in the kitchen when I started it and it was relatively early in its cycle. Daughter stepped in water, I see the puddle, turn off the dishwasher. Get it all pulled out and the return hose had melted clean through on about 5 of the ridges (roughly a 2 inch area of the hose).

Crazy.

I’ve never heard this about Jane Franklin. Shocking if true.

Impressive 4 year old at the top of the page. I got to see the other side of things last night. We were celebrating my BIL's birthday, and his sons were there, along with the one son's wife and their two kids, 4 and maybe 3. My BIL lives in an apartment complex, and they have a community room they can reserve for larger gatherings. Since the last time we were there, the building management replaced some of the furniture in the room. Nice light colored couch, and metal and glass end tables and coffee table. The pool table is still there, so of course the oldest grandson starts slamming the balls around on the table, but that isn't loud enough, so he is carrying them around and dropping them on the tile floor. That's plenty loud. But when he took them over in an attempt to drop them on the glass table top, that was enough. I'm not sure either of his parents have ever said "no" to him and meant it, but he got to hear it yesterday. Can't wait until they're older.

Went to the grocery store tonight. Just for reference, I live in Wisconsin. There was a SUV in the lot with Hawaii plates. I didn't know they finished the bridge. If you're moving here from Hawaii, wouldn't it be simpler and cheaper to sell your car there, and buy another once you got where you were going?

Tonight I saw an unusual sight. Looking up at the stars, after our near brush with post tropical storm Lee, I noticed a satellite on an orbit north west to south east. Then there was another and another. I counted 6, then a break then eight more. Not GPS those are geosynchronous.

Star Link? Or whatever Musk calls them.

Most likely a former military member who PCSed (Permanent Change of Station- another way to say they were getting out) in Wisconsin. The military pays for all relocation costs including the cost of shipping one vehicle.

This is cool.

Rescue Mission
 

While I was on a ladder scraping and priming trim on the house this afternoon, I heard a boat coming down river. Big boat for the river, maybe 24 feet with inboard/outboard setup. As it rounded the corner a haze started coming from the boat and quickly became a cloud. The folks on board shut down and drifted to a stop about 3/4 of the way across. I figured they might need help if they had fire on board so headed for my little rowboat. Drawing near I was relieved to see the cloud had been steam and had dissipated. When I reached the craft I learned their cooling system had sucked something up and blocked the heat exchanger. After a while things cooled off enough so they could start up and limp closer to my little dock. They paddled and I towed them the last 50 yards or so. A phone call brought a ride and they left to get another boat to tow the disabled vessel 10 miles back to the slip where they had launched. I knew one of guys on board. Funny thing: about 15 years ago his cousin also had motor problems and ended up moored overnight at the mouth of the same creek at our place.
Not a big deal, but I am so glad there wasn't fire.
