Oh my - Richard - well that pic does have a slight cooling feel but worse - it reminds me that with summer half gone - that prospect is closer than it was  :o :o

Board has been quite quiet last few days - plus have not been by a whole lot.  Hope everyone managing Ok.

Dave - was glad to see you join us over on CC.

Richard

Nice cool picture.  What bothers me is the lack of sunlight in the winter - we are getting about four hours more light in the evening now than at Christmas.  For me the lack of sunlight affects me somehow.  My office area is in the center of the building without windows.  In winter I get to work in the dark.   When I leave there is about 1.5 hours of sunlight left in the day.  So I may as well live in Alaska.

The CC forum is done very well with a lot of info.  It is very busy and maybe not as close a group as I usually like because of so many members.  Seems like there is an average of almost ten new people a day joining.  I have learned things there.  The problem is time in the day.

You are right Dave re large membership - but there is a fairly solid core of good folks - and that helps plus trying to keep things on an even keel.

Anyways - appreciate the time problem but - I daresay it could be handy for you at times as there is a good lot of info there.

Oh and - no more mention winter!!  It'll be here soon enough ;D

Just take a look at this to be reminded that summer is still here.  So, don't worry about winter just yet.

Would that the storm could loop slightly southwest and then hover directly over Fidel's hospital room.

Dang Dave - you got hold of the pre-release pic - I am still working on a much better mount for the mini gun ;D

Might even still go for the Ma Deuce after all!!!

Somehow I think that bike might be a little more efficient in aiding Castro to a long rest than this Tropical storm

Richard - that has to be about the ultimate in control on a bicycle - quite outstanding.

This is for Tracker, Chris, Bill, Fly and the rest of you aviation history fans out there.  (I didn't realize that there was a Messerschmitt Me 262 Sturmvogel still flying.)
