Quite fine thank you. It's been a lazy one since my little party on Friday. Just back from a promenade in the wonderful late winter/early spring weather. Picture attached - it's a little hazy (mobile phone cam) but you can get the mood of it anyways.

And you?

Edited: And BTW, stop "sir"-ing me, please. I'm not very used to it and almost always look over my shoulder to see if they mean someone else when that honorific is used

Gorgeous shot, Per. I especially enjoyed the young coumple featured prominently toward the center of the shot. Their closeness and body positioning betrays a romantic involvement, while the distance and clear separation suggests a break, or perhaps a quarrel.

You may have missed your true calling as an artist sir, I mean, dude....umm....bro......Per.

Can someone help me out?� I need a cup of tea, but Josh has fallen asleep on my lap and if I move he's going to do that crying thing that babies seem so fond of.� Mrs Dixie is asleep upstairs so I need someone to nip over and make me a brew.

Maybe, but then again I tend to make my tea so strong that most people stear clear.
Have Simon come 'round and do it. He can type in that link that you wanted at the same time.

I wonder, do British squid make "navy tea" as vile as our make "navy coffee"?

Not sure, but usually I make my tea so strong that no-one else will drink it.

Ergo, thou art a squid?

Well, If I recall correctly , his Da was a merchant sailor.

Indeed he is, and I'm a crab not a squid. Proudly working for the world's most exclusive airline (i.e We fly almost exclusively to Afghanistan).

Just for Yuri's edification ...The RAF is referred to by British services as Crabs, wearing "Crab blue". In USN parlance , a "Crab" , or more correctly a "Sand crab" is a side talking, side walking scavenging beach creature that means you no good". Better known as "civil service".

Yes. I remember Simon explaining the background of the crab moniker in the AAR. But I didnt realize that you guys take so much pride in being associated with crotch parasites.

Aw , poor baby. It must be nice not to be up at 5am on weekdays?

6, but yes, it was great for the first 2 weeks or so.

My apologies. Blastus interruptus.

No problem. Just be sure to clean up. And be sure to wash your hands.

Uuuuuuugggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I dont know what you meant by that.....but I think I may have a pretty good idea.

You have to admit, you did leave yourself wide open!

To a nasty and devious mind, yes.

No , more like a JAG dialog. Just don't ask here to conn a ship , fly a plane , or God forbid, shoot a weapon!

I can understand he not being able to learn from me (it was bad enough when I had to teach her how to ride a bike at 26) but when she brought a Marine Master gunnery sgt. to tears, then I knew she really was a "difficult student".

No , trust me you wouldn't. It was really, really ugly. She jammed a M-16, then proceeded to eject all the rounds out of a nine mil. Baretta (by jacking them out one-by-one) thinking she was cocking the weapon. She couldn't understand why after seven try's it stayed open and wouldn't fire. Then she turned to the master gunny , waving the peice around asking "what's the problem?".

Later that year I bought her a Browning 22 target pistol, thinking that if she had her own weapon , she might grow more comfortable. No dice.Apparently she feels it's too complex. So I'm looking for a 22 revolver , like a peacemaker. She loves westerns so maybe she'll feel more comfortable with it. (But she keeps telling me she wants to learn to shoot). I think once we've settled after our next move , I'll find some poor unsuspecting NRA instructor teaching a"women to shoot"course , and sic her on him!

Having grown up in Moose country , What ever you think about the ladys political opinons (and I have a pretty good idea of yours), any body who can bring down a moose with one shot is generally credited with being an excellent shot and a pretty good hunter. It's pretty well taken for granted in Maine , that if your not competant, you are going to simply Pi$$ off a moose. And you really don't want to be around angry meese (or mooses). At all. Ever.

My grandfather just about got killed by a bull moose that he shot in Alaska. After he shot it in the chest, it saw him and started towards him. He finished emptying his magazine at it as it fell dead (coughing up foamy blood) less than ten feet from him. Don't pi$$ off bull moose!

Kind of like Mongo from Blazing Saddles. Uh-uh. You don't want to shoot him, it'll just make him mad.

HI all,

Back from our mountain hike... at the top there are still full 60+ cm (25 inches) of snow - the sky was blue and the sun was shining (+3 degrees Centigrade at the top = 1000m)...

There was a time when I'd say "don't call me sir, I work for a living!" , the old officer versus NCO thing. Now I recognize that your simply being respectfull to old geezers. And that can't be a bad thing!

But DUDE! Do I look like or sound like a Californicator to you?!!!

Yuri is a dude! *Among other things!
