Old Weather Forum

Wow! I hadn't realised it had started so long ago. I think I joined in early on but then drifted away until last year when some extra on-line hobbies/activities were required

I am also amazed that it is nine years old. And what a memorable nine years. I wonder how many words we've been through? I still think of this game as a new idea

For those in the UK, on BBC2 tonight The Terror looks interesting. Drama based on Sir John Franklin's expedition to find the NW passage.

Happy Birthday! and many more.

Thank you so much! Who knew that making ice carousels was a thing? That one should be just about big enough to hold my birthday cake, which will look great rotating around.

(And I was going to say, "those crazy Finns" but then I saw that Minnesotans do this too...)

A very happy birthday to you espross

Yay! Thank you! Do you suppose the frosting is made with whale lard? Yum yum!

Lovely to get such nice wishes from you all--

Hello espross
Oooo - whale blubber frosting. There's a thought to conjure with! I bet they had it on board the whalers

I will say we watched the whole series and would give it a slightly-cautious two thumbs'-up! Curious to know how other folks here like it...

Thank you, Randi! I'm getting a lot of cake here! So, so nice.

Thanks, Michael! This evening my wife and I will trek 900 2.6 miles across the frozen tundra of San Francisco to a dinner under some feeble heatlamps outside Fort McPoo our favorite restaurant. This morning was beautiful sunshine and then some serious wind came up and "shelter in place" has seemed like the better option...

Why I don't get much done... Day two with no lady parts.

A good sailor takes good care of the ship's mascots!

I hope that kitty is feeling better soon. She looks very happy to have a daddy cuddle

One of the last things we did a year ago before we shut down for the pandemic was a trip to Quartzite. We got there late in the season- but it is amazing- so many people show up for a few weeks; then off they go. A decent solar battery would certainly make it more hospitable.
We went to see the rock and gem dealers. (and stayed in a motel.) Got to see the Intaglios in Blythe on the way back. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=ht ... egUIARCqAQ
