Parisian women. As a rule, and there are some exceptions, the women in Paris seem to give more than a shit about how they look and are dressed. Very, very put-together. And I don’t see very many obese people at all in Paris. I’m impressed. No pics, because this isn’t the creeper thread.

I'd be more impressed if you posted some creeper pics.Quote:

I'm sorry but you don't a world record for a crash. You only get a world record if you land it.Quote:

On Friday, the two young ladies reach out and fess up to the incident and provide their insurance information.
Small town so I don't know if it was the parents noticing the damage on their daughter's car, the post on social media, the guilt felt by the young ladies, or some combination thereof, but our faith in our neighbours has been restored. Even the rcmp officer said this was a million to one odds of happening in his experience.
Wow. That’s amazing. Awesome.

Pretty much the coolest wood stove I’ve seen.

Tell me more! I am in the market for a wood stove and this fits the bill.Quote:

Besides the super-clean design, it threw a really even heat, and the combustion is very controlled. One thing that’s really nice is you don’t have to bend way down to load it - the door is just about at waist level. And nice visuals watching the wood burn thru the window. Apparently you can bake stuff like pizza in that top compartment or just heat things. A small footprint too.
That’s all I know, I was just impressed with the looks, the even heating, and how nicely the combustion was controlled. Let me know if you want me to get more info.
They sobered up.Quote:

Completely bonkers. 54 hours in probably 60 degree water with no breaks. It's amazing what the human body can endure.Quote:

Something tells me she might not be behind the wheel for a wee bit unless family pockets run deep.Quote:

That is amazing. I would say mentally as much as physically. I swam 2k meters tonight and thought i was kicking ass and taking names:) I love swimming for exercise but that is some boring shit.Quote:

Can't find the video now, but I saw a YouTube video of some old guy in Europe who's been cutting dovetail joints in a furniture shop for decades. He used a bow saw, cutting freehand, and was making perfectly fitting joints with zero effort.
Was it this guyQuote:

If so, it's Tage Frid, a Dane who came to the US to teach. Famous for using a bow saw. I couldn't find a video of him cutting dovetails. He died in 2004 so there probably aren't a lot of videos of him out there.
Roy Underhill on The Woodwright's Shop used to cut dovetails by eyeball. He marked the depth but didn't measure or mark the spacing, the angle of the tails, and didn't square across. Then he marked the pins from the tails. All with a hand tools
A lot of companies are stepping it up for the good of all. I just saw this one.

Astronauts man, Astronauts.
I’m impressed by the amount of energy it must take to do this to a tractor trailer
Attachment 324550
Nah, solid object. Like a bridge. The energy came from the tractor trailer.Quote:

The cameras only see both lane lines half the time so I was lucky they were seeing them at the right time. Not sure how long I was out, I'm guessing no more than a second or two, maybe less.
When my son was in HS two of his friends drove up from Sacramento to climb Shasta, hustled back to make soccer practice, the one who was driving fell asleep in the middle of the day and killed them both. My son was supposed to be with them but couldn't go at the last minute for some reason.
Glad your still here
Glad you are still with us, OG.
