Allow me to introduce "Snowball", the dancing cockatiel. https://www.npr.org/2019/07/09/739523240/snowball- the-dancing-cockatoo-vogues-and-body-rolls-on-beat Fun stuff. I miss my birds, but love my dogs now. Can't have both, that'd be messy. | ||

Squids, My Blue and Gold Macaw rules the house. Waterfowl trained dog is curious, but bows with respect to the bird. The cats avoid him at all costs. My neighbors 130lb Rottweiler protected him like he was one of her pups. | ||

I can see that... a big parrot would intimidate about anything. Mine were cockatiels- my Basenji would make quick work of them now. Wish he'd take care of some of these dang squirrels around here, but they've developed a sense of recon where the dogs can't get the drop on them. Oh well. | ||

The first week we had the dog back from waterfowl training, she killed a squirrel and laid in right in front of the Macaws aviary in the back yard. Not sure if it was an offering or a threat... She's now taken after the gophers and has about 20 holes in the back yard trying to dig them up.  | ||

Heck yeah! She's helping you build a motocross track!! | ||

The terrible thing about memory loss is that moment when you're looking at a picture of yourself and your first love and its new to you. You don't know what you've forgotten, even when reminded. It sucks out loud. At least I remember her. This was on the front page of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution in the early 80s  | ||

OK, your daily new favorite new song. Youn's are welcome. Really good stuff. | ||

The upright bass is one of my favorite instruments. My dad was a long-time flat-top picker, I played an electric bass in our little bluegrass/gospel band. After he passed away, I got an upright and our band continued to play. Was hard at first but we got back into it. Never was the same without dad. | ||

OK Tq. If you don't already know about Esperanza Spalding, or Lake Street Dive, you should. I love the bass, it's really one of the most versatile instruments. If you look for it, there's a CD dedicated to Jaco Pastorius... heck lemme find it. "Word Of Mouth Revisited". Big band jazz, EVERY kickass bass player is on there. I'm ruining my speakers with that one over time. Amazon has the CD. Got to see both of these, live. If they come to town again, will do so again. She sings in three languages. This is a concert I'd've loved to attend. | ||

From the above article... "One can only hope this sort of muddle-headed nonsense is limited to the liberal arts vocations. Nobody wants to drive across a bridge built to some Millennial engineer's feelings about what won't collapse." Anyone remember when they were pushing "2+2 can equal 5, as long as we worked on it together, and all feel good about it"? | ||

2+2 can equal 5 for high value numbers! | ||

Just ran across this- SUCH a sweet song, gobs of fun in this video. I've got an Alabama Shakes CD, would love to see them or just Brittany Howard live. Terry Crews lip-syncing is just awesome. | ||

EVERYONE here should know this song. True story. You're welcome. Bonus if you know his backup singer. (Message edited by 86129squids on July 18, 2019) | ||

I guess that's one way to get it done!  | ||

Love the Kinne one. Actually, once they're hooked up and all the safeties are off, you can't have a panicking jumper stay in the plane. The odds of a chute deployment in the airplane is too high. And if you have a deployment in the plane and the jumper doesn't go, swiftly & with some skill & luck, the 'chute will be pulled out of the door, wrap around the tail, and kill all aboard. It's very difficult to get past the tangled lines under varying G loads and quite possible to tear the wings off and crumple the cabin & door preventing any escape. In heartbeats of screaming flaming doom. Seriously. That's why when they freeze, you eject them. It's safer for them & the other humans involved by a huge margin. I've seen jump masters tackle a guy off the step, clinging screaming to the wing strut. After all, she's got a chute. It's already deploying perfectly by static line. A nicely done to the jumper who ejected her. | ||
