    Probably. It must be difficult for them to breed while rolling at 60mph to avoid a fast fire. Regards, Richard.

    I just found out Smallville is on Disney plus.  What a shock!  They put the show in super heroes genre.  WOW!  Of course, this interest in Smallville has nothing to do with the last movie I saw in theaters.  Even though that movie and this show both have this bald character seemingly obsessed with the MC.

    That must be coincidence.  Of course! I think?  Or maybe?  Smallvile's main character was Clark.  Was there a Clark in that movie I just saw.

    Complaint:
    That Daz Outlet thingummy seems to be exacly the same now as it was when it started months ago!

    Non-Complaint:
    Some might recall my quest to get "Chip Shop" at home at as little cost as possible.  My quest is on-going, but I do have some fantastic news in that I've managed to find the exact same sausages they sell in chip shops!  Pricing is good as well, since you get six "Jumbo Sausages" for £3, and a pack weight of 600G, so that's just 50 pence per Jumbo Sausage, with each being a whopping 100G.  In effect, that's four to five times cheaper than in the Chip Shop, since a Jumbo Sausage can easily cost from £2 to £2.50 each from the chippy!

    These are 100% identical in every single way, so I'm very happy about that!
    Harry Ramsden's Chip Shop Jumbo Sausages

    PS: I just noticed that they're exclusive to the Iceland group of stores.  So basically that means "Iceland" or "The Food Warehouse" or "The Range" (because apparently The Range stores now house an Iceland department too).  Perhaps that's why they can sell them so cheap, them being exclusive.

    Anyway, I'll definitely be picking them up every week as long as they stay at that price, and I'm very pleased I found them!

    ...the worst of the tire season here will is yet to happen .  It usually begins around mid August and goes into September. There currently is a 10,000 acre wildfire burning east of here near Lyle (Washington) that is still uncontained.

    How long are tires in season?   Will the wildfire affect the tire breeding grounds?

    ...sadly spell checking utilities do not flag typos that create another legitimate word.

    Arthritis is also hell as is a cheap keyboard on which most of the letters have worn off the keys. 

    I really need an IBM model M, but they're so bloody expensive these days.

    Fixed it in the original post.

    Everything is expensive these days, especially tires.  That is a reason I don't have any tires.

  • Non-complaint: We finally got our car replaced yesterday! Picked up 2017 Subaru Outback Limited. It has slightly more high-tech than the Star Trek: The Original Series Enterprise.

    I asked copilot ai to make a stylized image of my childhood friend.  I was missing her.  I remembered her blue leash.

    Are there any characters that look like a border collie for Dog 8?

    Sympathy from Minnesota (although looking at the highs, apparenly you've got about 10 degrees on us, as we're "only" 90).

    Are you guys humid, too? We're in the middle of corn sweat season, and it's miserable.

     Yes; and that  contributes to the high heat index.

    Such a sweet pupper. I'd love a border collie morph, too. But need a short (smooth) hair for my red & white pal.

    @Sfariah, I forgot about https://www.daz3d.com/phenotypes-for-dog-8 even though it's in my Wishlist. LOL. I'm sure we could make the border collie shape with that. The we'd need textures since I don't think there are any existing textures with border markings. I think Bully for Dog 8 has a similar "mask" but not the rest.

    Complaint:  Continuing heat.  Outside, high 80s(F).  Inside, mid-80s.  I'm sticking to my fabric chairfrown.   It's cool enough after 4:00AM until about 10:00AM but during the day my livingroom/office gets icky.  Until today I've been getting away with fans on me during the day, then showering before bed and turning on the A/C in the bedroom for some relief.  It helps, but that poor old A/C is making strange noises.sad​  Yeah, I still have a brand new A/C sitting in a box in my kitchen but neighbor guy is still working on the roof and I already bothered him to fix my outside porch light that fell off the wall (was held in by one screw and its head rusted off)surprise  And besides, the hot weather here is almost over.  Things should be cooling down in a week or so.

    Non-complaint:  Telephone/ISP person coming tomorrow morning to install my new fiber connection.  Wheee..., company in the house.smiley  Then on Thursday evening there's an interesting concert at Chautauqua but getting there and back is a problem.  No symphony buddy for this one.sad  The program will be the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, and the Rachmaninoff 3rd Symphony.  Probably won't make it but nice to know it's there.   Then on Saturday is my nephew's wedding.  Then five empty weeks before next doctor appointment.

    I want to make dinner, but my housemate is in the kitchen.  It seems like she has been in there for hours.  I want dinner but I don't know what to do.  It sounds like she is playing around.

    When I make food in the kitchen, I feel like I have to be quick so she can cook.  But she doesn't feel that way.  I am wanting to cook a brat in the microwave if it takes too much longer.

    Does he have a sister named Gretel?  Do you live in a house with gingerbread shingles?

    Non-complaint:  A break in the weather:  Yay!  It's raining and cool.  And there will be 3 or 4 days of 70s(F) weather.  Saturday will be perfect weather (70s & sunny) for an outdoor wedding.yes  

       Yesterday was the day the telephone man came to replace my copper phone & DSL Internet connection with optical fiber.yes  Almost 4 hours it took him.surprise  I wouldn't want his job.  He had to brave the spider fortress in the basement and he had to climb telephone poles & ladders several times.  I don't know how a short, fat little man could climb so many ladders so well. Practice, I guess.frown   And there are areas in the basement in this house that hadn't seen visitors in years.  Nightmare stuff!surprise  I loaned him my decrepit porch broom to battle the hoards of Daddy-Long-Legs spiders.  And to top things off he got yelled at by the neighbor lady for parking his truck in the driveway.   He told me that he'd run into her at a previous job, being just as nasty.indecision  I agreed.  But so far I've managed to not get on her wrong side.  The type of person who never smiles.  The type of person for whom barks supercede requests.​

       I spent too much this last month so I'm still trying to avoid unnecessary mini-adventures, but before the wedding on Saturday, I think I'm going to schedule a bus trip into the city for some last minute shopping.  I've been trying to avoid trips into town because everytime I do, it costs me at least $50 for the adventure ($2 bus, $10 breakfast, $25-$30 Uber, plus any purchases).frown  Friday will be a perfect weather day for a trip to the city.

    Complaint:  House neighbor, maintenance guy, still hasn't finished the roof.frown  I hope he realizes that plastic/foam under-sheeting may protect from rain but won't survive the snow & ice of winter without shingles or metal protection.indecision

    Complaint:  It's been so humid for so long that my "Coffee-Mate" powdered coffee creamer has clumped up in the jar, and blocks the dispensing hole.sad

    Complaint: Cars and pavements are very hard when you're a motorcyclist and hit the back of one that reverses out in front of you. Even at 20mph. Ouch. Regards, Richard.

    Ouch indeed!  Anything seriously bruised, broken or bent?sad

    During my first motorcycle years (early 70s to mid-80s) I had a guy turn left in front of me across traffic and I ran smack into his front fender and cracked his windshield with my handlebars.  I was OK, but I think the bike had to be picked up & repaired.  But I can't remember anything about the aftermath.  Don't remember the towing, or the repair, or the people involved, or the insurance process, but I remember flying onto his hood. and his broken windshield.  I was in Cocoa Beach heading south along Merritt Island to home (25 more miles) after working at the Space Center.  I can't even remember how I got home, or which year, or even which bike it was.  But flying over the hood I remember.frown

    Non-complaint: Weather finally got tolerable!

    complaint: Air quality tanked. Poor Canada...

    sort of both: a mouse apparently got into the garage, and also apparently I forgot to take the portable vacuum to the stroller-wagon after our last walk. So instead of crumbs and cookie/cracker bits (of which there wasn't a single one left) there was copious evidence of rodent visitation. Some bleach wipes, a whole lot of spray carpet cleaner (pet edition) and the portable steam cleaner, and the wagon is clean... which it kinda needed before the mouse anyway. But still. Eew. Though at least I discovered it and got it dealt with on a non-walk day instead of Little Dude running over and climbing right into it.

    Turns out I have a 6" gash in my thigh, the handlebars are 3" closer to the seat than they used to be and various body panels are damaged. Blood soaked through my trousers and reached my socks. I rode the bike home, and apart from the handlebars now hitting my knees at full lock, the bike is mechanically sound. I, oth, ache rather a lot. Regards, Richard.
