In. Things are indeed looking up. 🌅 ⛪

I guess I’m not as observant as I’d like to think. I only just now noticed the title line that was above each post in the old software is not in this one. I was going to suggest that a new weeks chat could be acknowledged by the post title line but that won’t work here.

View from up above. I put the connections plate as close to the cabinet as I could get it so everything would be low enough to not see (except for that tall modem end🧐).

What’s the rectangular gizmo next to the cable connection plate on the wall?

Ah, I thought it might be some sort of bridge or repeater. Thanks.

That’s one of the times I really miss having little ones around.


in other news (sorta) I finally got the taxes done and transmitted. I think the headache will eventually go away.

 

[NoNewTricks]

Try to get some shuteye AZ.

 

[NoNewTricks]

Thanks, Brent!! You saved me some green there. Now, I just have to remember to re-up in November before this current on runs out.

Didn’t we used to get a notice when the membership was about to expire? At least I think I did and that was when I re-uped.

As to the subject of different font colors, I noticed that there are 26 to choose from here but the box to enter a HEX code is there too. So if anyone wished something other than what is provided they can enter an approved HEX code in that box. Here is a web page with 140 colors by name and HEX code with an example of the color…

Color Names — HTML Color Codes

HTML color names rule. Modern browsers support 140 HTML color names which we've listed here along with their Hex color codes and RGB values.

htmlcolorcodes.com

A few examples below of colors that I don’t think are available here.

Salmon HotPink OrangeRed Gold Magenta OliveDrab Blue Maroon etc, etc.

I won’t even get into the different shades of gray and white. I wouldn’t even call some of those colors by what they have them named.

There seems to be something about the 9mm gun bag

Well yeah! Cat see a gun bag and thinks “Heater”.

Nice bass(!)... in that pic, Gerald. I love fishing farm ponds or ranch tanks when given the opportunity. Some contain very nice surprises. Can recall one that was small and deep that held some 'dinner plate' crappie and google eye's & war mouth pan fish that were exceptionally large & thick.

+1 on the bass.

I had similar experiences at some gravel pits that a local sand and gravel company had excavated and left when they filled with water. Now they are surrounded by a KOA campground. Ah well, nothing much stays the same as it was 60 years ago.

Hummers Have Returned to The Raggedy Edge

And with a vengeance it looks like.

Hey everyone! New guy here. Bought a T/C .22 for my kids to plink with last summer and they fell in love with shooting. So between that and 22 ammo being about the only thing I can reliably find locally, I'm starting to go down a rimfire rabbit hole. Lolt

You’ll know you’re down the rabbit hole when you find yourself hanging around the CZ/BRNO forum. And welcome to RFC.

Nice wheels Al. For some reason I expected to see a white background.

 

[NoNewTricks]

With a magenta background?

In truth I thought there would be snow on the ground.

Seen a couple of days ago ..also this

Donuts might not work. Maybe a kegger?

Saw something I'd never seen before this morning...A Smith & Meth-son 💩

I thought it was a novel use of Devcon, or whatever the goop is holding some of the contraption together. He does need a bit of breech work experience though.

Definitely a beginner ghost gunner NNT. Not a pro example like this little jewel!

Makes me wonder what the light is for? My guess is you’d have as much chance in the dark with your eyes shut unless the muzzle was pressed against the target.

If I could take pictures like that one of the goose I might have got a picture of a couple of Bluejays fighting In my front yard. Well above it that is. They first flew into a White Oak tree and took a couple of swipes at each other. Then they took to wing for an aerial fight. Lots of breast feathers flew. One finally departed the scene and then a different male flew in to take on the victor. Quite a show.

I didn’t even know there was a Bluejay roadhouse around here. In my experience that’s the kind of establishment fights over females usually occur in.

Good luck with your deliveries today.
I sent a postal money order out nearly a month ago within the state and still has not been delivered. Stopped at local PO last week to see if the could run a trace on who ripped the envelope open at a sorting center and cashed the check.

I may be misunderstanding your post and I’m sure you already know this but if you want to see if a postal mo has been cashed you can do that on line…

… I found this gem that I hadn't seen in a while, thought I'd share it.

LOL! I showed this to the wife and she let out such a howl I was afraid the cat might leave home.
