Red patches just west of Kingston/Poughkeepsie. --- End quote --- I love a good storm! I hope yours are not quite as violent as they can be elsewhere in the USA. I had the pleasure many years ago of watching a massive storm rolling over the Dallas/Fort Worth area and it was a real treat to watch such a terrifying and awe inspiring display of thunder and lightning of a magnitude that many who have never been to Texas would have trouble comprehending. --- End quote --- My Uncle Jack's house was on the top of a hill overlooking Vazon Bay in Guernsey. It had a big family room on the topmost floor with windows along the whole length of both sides with a perfect view out to sea beyond Vazon Bay in one direction, roughly towards the Atlantic, and the sea between Guernsey and the UK in the other. One late summer evening we sat up there with the lights out watching an isolated lightning storm out at sea make its way from the Atlantic and up the English Channel. It was still dry where we were giving us visibility for miles and miles. Best storm I've ever seen, forked lightning crashing into the sea every few seconds. The sort of storm that you normally only see recreated in CGI for some movie. It was brilliant! |

Preventing EMTs to get critically ill patients into hospital. As far as I am concerned, they are terrorists. Funded by Soros btw. --- End quote --- Poor old George Soros, the poor lad can't have two shekels left to rub together if he's actually funded all the things people say he has. That reminds me, my Illuminati membership is up for renewal next month, and I still haven't paid my subscription to the Trilateral commission. --- End quote --- Yes. I wish I had enough of a reputation to be blamed for stuff I’m not responsible for. I’m still at the phase of trying to cause enough problems to be recognised for anything! The environmental protesters are spot on in principle. However they aren’t marketing experts. Deciding to glue yourself to shit is what tends to come from student union pub nights. It just makes you look like a bit of a wally. |

It doesn't cost that much to create a lot of mischief. |

--- Quote from: tautech on July 18, 2022, 10:34:27 pm ---After signing out last evening a toddy of vodka and dry was the plan and a few minutes in front of the goggle box before retiring however there was Callahan from '76 with his 44 Mag and not to watch it would've been plain rude. So Monday nights are Dirty Harry nights for a few weeks here, ain't watched that stuff in years. :) --- End quote --- The .44 Magnum. A truly insane cartridge. Having shot them from a genuine Dirty Harry S&W Model 29 revolver with the 8 inch barrel, I wouldn't think of using just one hand when firing it. The recoil is like stopping a train! It's quite easy to be accurate with it though, as long as you take single shots to allow some time to recover your senses before the next deafening explosion! :-DD The contrast when shooting .45 ACP cartridges with the classic Colt M1911 pistol and its comparatively stubby 5 inch barrel couldn't be more striking. I could get good groupings at 25 metres standing with the Model 29. Hitting anything smaller than a barn door at 25 metres with the M1911 was a real challenge. Partly because of the short barrel, but also because despite the fact I'm right handed, I shoot left handed which means I end up dodging the cartridges as they get ejected from the side of the Colt and fly past dangerously close to my eye. :) |

Getting worse here.... now 01H30, and it's still 30°C outside, 29 inside.... can't sleep with that kind of temperature... Forcast says should decrease to 23°C in the morning when the sun rises... though it says it will feel like 28°C, probably because of humidity.. .so not sure that will improve things at all.... Summer sucks ! And a cockroach just landed on my desk !! :palm: |
