That's very cool!

My wife and I attended the FRIENDS Experience in Chicago yesterday with a few of our friends. We're all huge fans of the show. Yeah. It was worth it.

Maybe your next trip can be to Central Perk... which is in Bulgaria.

We found ourselves at the restaurant right next door, and it was a bit surreal to see how popular it was.



All throughout Bulgaria, we had a running joke: "Miami Vice is #1 new show!"

I'm just going to wave as I go by. I'll come back when I have something that fits the thread.

Just returned from my week in Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, and Cody Wyoming.

Cannot recommend a day at the Cody farms museum more highly. Very well done and walks you through the development of firearms especially the American age. Lots of beautiful m1 garands, BARs, and other iconic American firearms.

And in the spirit of feel good, there's nothing like watching a mother bear with her two newborn cubs frolicking about the valley, playing and learning to survive.

My son was part of a Lego challenge the past few months. He built a contraption to move a Lego ball from one side to the other. He designed and constructed his entry pretty much by himself. I helped him with a few small ideas and fixes. The rest was all him.


The *GREAT BALL CONTRAPTION challenge was today. Here is his contraption.



And he won the Most Creative trophy.

Just got home from the shake down trip with the new camper. Nothing special, just Prairie Creek Park, Thursday thru Sunday. Met some nice dogs, and a few nice people. Cicadas are molting, ugh, but not singing yet (yay!). 3 trips back to town/home to get or pick up what was forgotten or overlooked. 2 out of our 3 dogs mostly enjoyed the stay, one just wanted to hang in the camper. Looking forward to the next trip!

Bigtanker, that was an awesome contraption!

Yes it was! It reminded me of the Rube Goldberg machine contest that the Purdue School of Engineering puts on.

At the big events, these are insane.

Time for a bump. I came across this article today. I'm a big fan of Terminator 2 and thought this was pretty neat special effects tech.

Those Bullet Effects In Terminator 2 Weren’t CGI

Remember Terminator 2? Guns were nearly useless against the murderous T-1000, played by Robert Patrick. Bullets fired at the “liquid metal” robot resulted only in a chrome-looking bulle…

I think the food is better there now than it used to be.

Always wanted to fly my r/c glider there. Would be a great spot for slope soaring.

Sometimes I just want to visit a website that's pure distraction or wholesome fun, to take my mind off the craziness of the world. I've been having a hard time finding sites that haven't been infected by some type of political slant. Even websites like BoredPanda.com seem to have become politically biased.

So I figured I'd start a thread to post fun, feel-good stuff for people to scroll through to shut out the insanity for a while.

I don't know why, but lately I've been enjoying videos of dance routines in old movies and TV shows set and synced to more modern music. This is one of the best examples I've seen so far. The timing on this is amazing.

Enjoy.

That was well worth the watch.

I looked at the weather report Sunday evening and saw fall thumbing it's nose one last time at winter today and tomorrow so decided to play hooky and take advantage of the warmer temps. Even though I'm still working inside I'm not stuck in a basement with no windows so I still get to enjoy the sunny blue sky while it lasts!

I just got a call from the Border Patrol in Texas. It didn't sound like someone from Texas but I had a few minutes. Seems they intercepted a package addressed to me full of cash and drugs. I said YES I've been waiting for that. He proceeded to talk about my Mother and hung up. Don't scammers have any fun?

Been there a couple of time. It has a great view of the Ohio river
