    Sailor missing at sea for 2 weeks found alive in life raft 70 miles off Washington coast That's just a great photograph. The subject, the framing, the exposure. It's just a great shot all around. It's crisp and sharp. Fuck, I'm blown away by how good it is.

    Exactly. Really likable good guy kills off really unlikable bad guys in a beautiful setting.

    I've always used Purdy brand. I buy a 2" angled brush. If you got to HD or Lowes they will carry them and the sleeve it comes in will tell what it's for.

    TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023)

    I have an app for Cinemark theaters where I can purchase tickets for shows and reserve my seats. So I'm browsing to see what's showing and what's coming. TS's movie is coming 10/13 and will be on 12 screens. Most showings are around 80% full and tickets are almost $20. Crazy.

    TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023)

    You're going to have to add me to that group that couldn't pick out a Taylor Swift song from the cacophony that is radio today. It's a generational thing mostly. I can recognize the artists that I grew up with, but I've got a daughter that is older than TS is. My wife might know some of her work...

    The Equalizer 3 (2023)

    Saw this yesterday. It was OK, not great, maybe not as good as the first one, but it was OK. In many ways, I enjoyed it more than the latest John Wick movie. IMO, those movies border on the ridiculous. Maybe they're supposed to, but it doesn't work for me. I don't have a friend who couldn't win...

    Canceled Netflix today. We just don’t watch it anymore. Too much crap. We watch Britbox or Acorn TV almost exclusively.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Same here. I have one under the rear seat in my PU. In AZ, car fires are frequent. Usually cars overheat and tranny fluid pukes out of the dip stick and onto the exhaust manifold. I almost got the chance to use mine when the truck behind me burst into flames but by the time I stopped and ran...

    That was my mom's dream car. I think mostly because it had an Italian name and she was fresh off the boat Italian. By the time I was successful enough to buy her one, she had put a restraining order on me. It's a long story. This was her first new car. A 1968 Toyota Corona. Not hers but the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Just drove to CA from ID and back in my base Hyundai Accent 5sp, around 1200 miles. Got over 50 mpg and stopped for fuel one time each way. Fueling took 15 minutes including the bathroom break. The car was under $20k new. Why would I ever want an EV?

    Now don't laugh. I went through the same thing. My bike, a K75, was just too big for just tooling around town or for just going out for a short ride. This is what I bought about 3 years ago. It's a 2006 Kymco Grand Vista (Grand Dink in every other country) 250. Cost less than $2k and it's a...

    Was in Lowes this morning to get some lawn sprinkler parts. They were setting up Halloween shit. Half way into July and they’re selling end of October stuff. Some guy behind me at the self serve (no cashiers anywhere) had 2 stupid blowup Halloween things totaling over $750.

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    I saw this today. I didn’t mind it. 4 out of 5. All the actors know they are old and make jokes about it. They’re not like Tom Cruise who never gets old. Indy is still white. Arabs are Arab colored. Greeks aren’t black and neither are Nazies. Popcorn was good, too.

    What tickles your pickle

    Wife and I went bowling today. Actually, we go twice a week cuz the local center has a summer deal where you can bowl 3 games any day, any time for around 3 months for a onetime fee of $50 per family. This was our second game. She's was killin' me. I staged a comeback but it wasn't enough.

    My wife and I are members of a local chapter of a gold prospectors organization and once a month they have an outing, some of which are overnight. I have an RV but it would never make it to the locations of the claims which are very remote and involve trails that require 4WD. I bought a tent...

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1605783/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk 9/10. I really like this movie. I like how the music evokes the period and how the cinematography sometimes looks like a French painting. Excellent writing (won an Oscar for sceenplay). Just thoroughly enjoyable. In my top 10.

    My house in AZ had a very severe crack in the slab. I ended up putting laminate flooring in that room. The size and slope of the crack exceeded what the specs for the laminate said was acceptable, but I did it anyway and never had any issues. I would imagine modern luxury vinyl is even more...

    Tile on a cracked concrete slab is done every day. Every house I worked on in AZ was built on a slab and if the concrete wasn't cracked by the time we got to it, it would be soon. There are techniques and materials designed to prevent the moving slab from cracking the tile on top of it. The most...
