WOOHOO -- it's a feels like 65 out there ! Glad I was able to snag a few minutes and take a 4-block walk over lunch. I am a bit jealous. Still can't get out for a walk with my sprained ankle. It's getting better but it wouldn't take much to set it back to where it was. So I guess I'll wait. I had t...

Morning All, It's not yet 6:30AM here and I have been logged on to work for about an hour. I've pretty much cleared my slate. :o We are at the pointy end of a big project that is way behind schedule, yet because management can't, well, manage I am not being fed the amount of work I need to crunch th...

Just back from getting some regular blood tests. You'd think they would have their systems adapted to Covid by now.

Nope. Take a ticket and wait on the street outside. The poor vampire errrr pathology collector then has to walk downstairs, go outside and call out the next number...

With the subject of this thread I am so glad no-one went down the Dad joke path of saying that they're on a see-food diet - when the see food they eat it...

That would have been unseemly.

I've never had sashimi, nor do I want to and I ate live minnows once. I was a kid. It was Canada. There may have been a dare. Good luck on the upcoming surgery, Tammi. We're pulling for you. Well you'll never know what you are missing out on! As you know, in a previous life, I spent a little bit of...

<----- Color me confused - Rabz, are you doing this 'hiking' on purpose for sport? :-? I am not sure it could be described as sport, but it is for trying to regain a little of my fitness, lost during lockdown and working from home permanently. Until last March, for about the previous seven years, I...

Rabz I'm forever getting in harm's way fly fishing and sometimes think what happens if I snap a bone back in the woods. I try to be cautious, but that just means I'm falling slower.

I never used to worry about things like that, it was great to be bullet-proof

Well, that was fun. Not. I woke up with a sore neck and a splitting headache, it felt for all the world like a hangover, except there hadn't been a big night and I wasn't dehydrated. I pottered about for a while waiting for the headache to subside, which is showed no sign of doing. I checked the wea...

Morning All,

Apparently we are due for a nice weekend, followed by a wet miserable week.

That's a bit of an achievement, especially in your 'industry'.

Congratulations.

Afternoon BNers Our wind seems to have blown somewhere else. Sorry to anywhere having trouble but glad to have a calmer day. Our Gov is yacking....wondering if he has a point??? OMG Texas is now 100% open and NO MASKS MANDATES. You can cram as many people in bars, etc with no masks. 😡🤬 Ahhh yes, I ...

Two dry days in a row. It's a record for 2021. Yesterday was unseasonably warm for the first day of Autumn. 90°F +. Today will be high 70's. We are rushing towards the Autumn equinox, so it is pitch dark when I head out for my pack walk in the mornings, since the streets around here don't all have ...

If I still lived on Long Island, I'd take that kind of weather too. The Carolina Hurricanes played the Florida Panthers last night, in Florida. There were fans in the arena. Not a lot of them but they were there. They haven't had fans at any of their home games yet. I think the one and only NHL gam...

I woke a bit early (well not that early) and decided to do a walk. I donned my boots and pack and hit some of the local fire trails for an hour and a bit. I was quite foggy which made it eerily quiet but stunningly beautiful. I admit I had forgotten about the Alpe Cermis like hills but made it up to...

Loose hairs remind me of an antique rebuild of a 26 ft wooden runabout I saw, The owner built the boat, but hired 2 women who were professional finishers. To avoid lint or dust, they worked in the nude. I can foresee some safety issues there - not so much for the refinishers but for everyone else a...

Yes. Honestly, I don't have a valid answer. I have shaped brushes by plucking and cutting. On good quality fine detail brushes as the hairs wear down , I have taken small quality scissors and trimmed to a new taper, cutting with the tip up and slightly pointed away. Good luck and keep me posted on ...

I suspect that in the fullness of time, just like current influenza vaccines are an amalgam of vaccines for various strains, I think that the SARS/Covid vaccines will become part of those type of vaccines. So your yearly 'flu shot will also be your SARS/Covid shot too. I know in these modern anti-sc...

Hey BP, As you are a world renown artist and (I think one-time art teacher) I have a question. I was going through some boxes getting ready to "rationalise" the stuff in the garage as we prepare to move and I opened a box which had a few old scale modelling bibs and bobs. Amongst these wer...
