Then my little one helped me clean it.

Yikes, whare have you been driving to suck up all of that crud?!

Great looking car, BTW. I like the wheels on it. Nice color combo.

I don't recognize this (as a) hazmat symbol, but apparently USPS did.....here's how the package was delivered...sitting on my sidewalk out front no less....lol....



That label must have been on the box from something the seller received.



Music box plays just fine...nothing exploded when the music stopped or anything.













Hey Baz,

The emblem on that package looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it, then I had a lightbulb moment.

I remember catching a video regarding a Royal Marine poking fun at officers comparing what they eat in relation to the enlisted. It was on the side of their version of meal rations.



So I wonder if your clock was shipped over from the U.K. or E.U. using a ration box. Too funny our USPS freaked...

File it under useless trivia for $500 Bob,
Cheers

Wow....good catch there, Bugs. Maybe I'll contact the seller and ask. Will keep you in the loop.

OK so this afternoon my truck's alternator went out (when your instruments go dead, you better start finding a place to pull over very soon!) Luckily this happened only blocks from the local auto-electric shop I use. This place is an institution too! Been going there so many years we're like family. So while I wait for my alternator rebuild, I took a few pics of this baby....how sweet it is! Automatic though....

I'm thinking your Castle is much more grand of a place to visit. More of a distinguished history than one built for troubled yutes and in a bad state like the one we visited.

Worked late today at one of my accounts. It's right on the beach so I get to check the surf and gawk at the females, when appropriate.

Late in the day the place empties out. Tonight a boy and girl. He with his boogie board. She with her blonde hair....

Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place
at your command
Can I stay here
for a while
Can I see your
sweet sweet smile
Old enough now
to change your name
When so many love you
is it the same?
It's the woman in you
that makes you want

My mother's mother sent out the announcements.
My father's mother used it to add some artistic talent to her wedding gift.

Dropped a GTX1070 (the 1080s are overpriced imo) and a needed PSU into the computer an awesome pelican built.

-Corsair honored their rebate.
-EVGA outright refused to honor theirs, even after admitting they had all the needed info and proof-of-purchase was known and obvious. I had meticulously prepared and documented everything. I then had to drive another two hours to get my money from the store.


Flying the ATL area.
