My wife's great nephew just bought his first car. Some Korean econobox. I asked him about the engine, and he had no clue at all. I asked him to show me the car, and he was most proud of the new mega speakers, and his floor mats. The floor mats would flash colors in time with the music, and the undercarriage lights. It was nice to see him as a car guy, just a new car guy. Evidently flashing LED lights are important to that age group.




Where in California is this forest of trees? I want to go visit it for sure, on my upcoming trip to California. It has to be California. It can't be Florida, as they don't have any hills.





This is kinda nice if only there was a way to get to the decks

See!!!!! Nobody listened to me when I said we are headed in that direction. This is the “JUST” the beginning. Stand-by folks.

Most ST fans are quite familiar with the background on all their ST heroes. Learning trivia becomes almost an obsession. But for the regular fan, it's fun making these discoveries. Some didn't know the following about our favorite engineer, Montgomery Scott.
1.) He is of very Irish stock, parents from Bangor, part of the Belfast area in Northern Ireland. They emigrated to Vancouver Canada where Doohan was born.
2.) His middle name is "Montgomery", taken from his Mother's maiden name.
3.) Most know that he was involved in D-Day, and WWII, but some particulars may not be known. For instance...
a.) He was helping lead a regiment across an anti-tank mine field.
b.) He took out two snipers leading his men.
c.) He was shot/wounded six times: four in the leg, one taking out his right middle finger, (which was amputated,) and another to the chest.
d.) It was a silver cigarette case given by his older brother (he was the baby of the family), that saved his life taking the impact from the bullet to the chest.
e.) He was part of the 2nd wave of the Canadian landing force at Juno Beach.
f.) He was never actually a member of the RCAF, but came to be known as "the craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force."
g.) He drew a reprimand for flying a plane between two telephone poles simply to prove that it could be done.
4.) He had an extremely versatile voice and would later voice as many as seven characters in an episode of ST, TAS.
5.) During production of ST:TMP, it was Doohan who made the vocals for both the Vulcan and Klingon languages. He created the first sounds and words. Later linguist Mark Orcrand would create an entire Klingon language, based on Doohan's gutteral sounds and words.

It's not quite like you'd expect, but it's still not 100% clear. I saw another explanation last year, but that's also not 100%. This is a partial explanation.


I'd like to see it disassembled.

Come on, if you look at it it's nothing as you stack the lumber. Disassemble just unstack it.

It's not mortise and tenon. What am I missing other than the difficulty in cutting such a joint?

Look at the grain of each piece. Individual boards.

^^^^ Just like the pyramids, extraterrestrials did it! ')



Whoops.


The Boeing Bird of Prey was a trailblazing stealth aircraft secretly developed by the US military between 1992 to 1999 at Area 51. Its extraterrestrial appearance would no doubt be responsible for UFO sightings occurring at the time.




Starting in the mid-1920s Polson acquired a herd of these Clyde gas yarders. They took over most of the logging and fed the three tree rigged skidders.
