“You and I have memories, longer than the road that stretches out ahead” is such a simple yet powerful lyric that captures how I feel about my relationship with my wife. Knowing we have more time in the past then what is left for us in the future is both amazing and daunting. Realizing how many great memories we made through those years. All of that captured in one line of one of their lesser songs. But, if they aren’t your cup of tea, that’s cool too.

My favorite way of shooting myself in the foot.

Stocks also represent a company’s net asset value. So, unlike crypto, a shareholder would be compensated by the sale of a company’s assets in the event of its liquidation. Crypto has no such safety net.

Nevermind!

This is the first photo I’ve seen of an owl that doesn’t look mad as hell and ready to rip your face off.

I vote with my wallet. I don’t buy games that have scummy conditions or requirements. There are too many other choices out there to justify supporting companies who treat their customers poorly.

You forgot to include alcohol!

Seriously, though, it just appears to me that it wouldn’t take much to turn that situation into a tragedy but I don’t know a darn thing about sailing. I went one a few charity motorcycle rides and they felt the same: too many people who’s abilities are unknown and mostly likely more than a few who were drinking.

Beautiful, but the first thing to come to mind: “That looks like an accident waiting to happen”

Using that logic, can we also get rid of Stroll?

An all time classic!

Very cool. I did a Dagon Alley book book a few years ago and really enjoyed getting a model done in ten or so hours versus the eternity it takes me to assemble and paint a plastic kit.

Are you saying that the rules did not strictly forbid this system prior to Miami and the underlined text was added to the regulations to eliminate the loophole RBR was using to help win?

I’m pretty sure I helped my Mom put this one together about 50 years ago.

I think you want the screwdriver to seat as far down as possible so I would recommend you dig out the glue

The US missed out on both the Robertson screw head and the metric system!

If it is filled with glue then I would try scraping it out with the tip of a utility or xacto knife

1. Strong down force with the appropriate screwdriver (looks like it started out as a Phillips head) while turning the driver with a wrench. You need a square shaft in your screwdriver or clamp with vice grips.

2. Same, strong down force, but use a square driver ( Robertson screw). This can also be accompanied with a wrench.

3. Drill it out. This is pretty much the last resort as you will use a drill bit about the same size as the threads which will pretty much take the head of the screw off as you drill into the threads. The threads probably won’t come out but you will at least be able to open the case. I have had very little luck with screw extractors and they probably don’t come that small.

Strong down force is the main thing I have found to work when breaking loose pesky screws. Pushing down hard enough to prevent the bit from skipping to the next slot

I should have mentioned:

1. This is the first time I separated all the pieces by color/region before assembly and I was amazed at how much faster it went together.

2. Instead of doing the edges first I started at the center (lighthouse) and followed with the trees and sky. This allowed me to keep the top of the puzzle closer to me and push it away as I worked my way down to the sea. I found this reduced the time I usually spent standing, hunched over the puzzle. I am amazed it took me 40 years of jigsaws to figure this out.

3. The sea and rocks took way longer than I thought. It was brutal.

Yeah, so what do I do now? Maybe I will stick a note on the cover before sending it back to Goodwill
