I’m in Toronto, Canada. 9 hour drive down, 11 hours back because of the detour.

Did I mention I was attending a NASA Exhibition?

50 years later I am still amazed

On the way, I picked up an old Lego Technic set number 8865, a second hand purchase. I owned this set years ago but sold it, silly me

Happy as now to own this collectable

Couple more photos:

View from the top. The ledge I'm standing on is pretty damn narrow, about 2 feet wide.

Then the storm started rolling in so we got the hell out.

Good call getting out. We've had some wild flash storms in Maryland the last few weeks. It's party sunny all day, every day, but once in a while the sky just goes dark and there's intense rain (two day ago with hail) for up to a half-hour. Then sunny the rest of the evening.

Yeah I ran into one of those storms on Saturday. Nice sunny/cloudy day then bam, torrential rainfall like I've never seen before combined with hail and lightning.

A friend was selling his slightly used 1080ti for $300.00 and I couldn't resist. Even though I was planning a 2080ti rig in a few months. Well I got the car installed only to discover that the 1080's no longer support analog signals, rendering my current (1080p TV/monitor) connection method obsolete. So I hooked it up with an HDMI cable and couldn't have been more disappointed with the image. Everything looks like it's over digitized. Since I already planned to pick up a new monitor with the purchase of the new PC, I popped on this one a little early.

That is a lot of monitor for the cash

Staring down another CAT 3 or 4 hurricane. The cost of living in South Florida. But we're ready. :owned:

the cost of living in south Florida: your roof, and occasionally some of your walls

I've been here for 40+ years without an issue. :rolleyes:

Florida, soon to be the shallow sub-tropical Sea of Florida

Looking more like Florida is going to catch a big break this time.

same in my neck of the woods

oh wait, that's just a normal day :olo:

Sometimes it rains a little bit, and then it stops. Should I be worried?

Post by **Don Carlos** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 10:57 am

Very...especially if you are indoors

Post by **seremtan** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 6:34 pm

when it rains, go swimming underwater

problem solved

Post by **xer0s** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 6:46 pm

What if I was to go swimming above water?

Post by **seremtan** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 11:43 pm

you'd get wet, dummy

Me, well enjoying the simpler things of life....A bottle of New Zealand Sem Sav in the afternoon sun on the patio for one

Re: What is new in your little world?
Yesterday after having cleaned (tooth-brushed and immersed some of the vintage (white/grey) in hydrogen peroxide for time) I've re assembled the classic Lego Technic 'Test Car', the set # 8865

LMGTFY

Bought back many happy memories from 30 years ago :tear:
