I like Boyles delivery. His jabs can be subtle. He does have a flair for language. What I wasn't aware of was the practice of withholding bonuses. That's not a bonus if it's *not deposited* in your bank account. It's vapor. It's fiction. That would piss me off if I was given a big number, told it wa...

I got my dirt stirred. That's as far as I got.

What would be shameful about paying for a meal with a card issued at the border? Assuming the story is true, and I don't, how would someone recognize one of those cards? Knowing this person depended on this card for their sustenance, why not offer them a discount, or no charge, to help them stretch ...

Crayon Sabitchy or whatever name he is using week sounds butthurt.

Yeah. Don't use silicone chalk. Take my word for it.

Very nice. Decorative, functional and artistic.

Here is another one from the same group. It has a shawm, what I think is a buisine , and a percussionist with wood and bells. The buisine does not look much different from a Roman Tuba, which would make sense. https: //youtu.be/sxgdT4P3Epk?si=TCoPklTQ3VO_-sb4 Don't move fast or you'll break that lo...

Well, I've never been one to build a shed over my tool. All gristle and bone.

:lol: But I could never part with something that warms my heart and makes me smile every time I see it. I can almost see my dad smiling back at me at times. He was a real hoot I have to say, we lost in in 1986. He now resides on Eisenhower Drive at Arlington National. He even adopted himself a them...

Talk about SCA!!!

I loved the 'proto-trombone' - what's it actually called?

And what are those reeded instruments? Surely not Oboes - (no valves, just finger holes) but maybe?

I take it that thing on screen right is a drum? (JK)

I think it's called a sackbut.

My question is - Who was the first guy to blow through a hollow stick, make a sound, and amaze the shit out of everyone standing around?

Not a SCAdian in the bunch. :rotflmao: I had a client, an engineer at Tektronics back when it still occupied the Beaverton campus, that was a SCA member. Huge dude. Six foot plus, well over 300lbs, had to drive a Dodge Powerwagon because it was the only thing that fit him. He said in his local club...

My questions would be where, when, and how. How does an infant possess an unknown virus it was never exposed to?

My speculations are enormous.

St. Vincent Broken Man. Headphones on, set it to eleven, break the knob off.

Took me a minute.

Hey! The bottle can be recycled!

That song is still in rotation on the FM station I regularly listen to. Love it.

Are you liking it? Rotten Tomatoes gave it a green splat.

Gilda is amazing!

My computer has one on its mouse. Stops the mouse getting lost when the computer wipes out. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: I'm obviously an advanced keyboard warrior since I have a wireless mouse and don't need no stinkin' safety equipment. PPE is never about *your* safety. It keeps the company l...

Yeah. All these memories bring a tear to my eyes. Those were good days. Really good days. And so far behind me now.

Pooper scoopers.

I always enjoy stories about your career. Sounds like you have enjoyed a lot of widely varied and challenging adventures in your corporate life, just as I have. Keep 'em coming! Thanks John. I'm trying not to be "that guy", but as I'm crushing 71, I'm becoming the old guy with stories of ...

In Mr. V's Northfork thread I tell about my work on LIRR equipment, and about the trips Mrs and I took together. My sister found a photo album from the period. Most of it is of buildings and boats. But I have a couple pictures of us in Boston.
