You are really a funny bunch...

My uncle had a large trout farm... he told me that the black ones were blind and their chameleon adaptation caused them to turn the color of what they see!

Here's my neighbor and friend, who chased off the bear that was denned up at the bottom of my yard. View attachment 2560589

He’s such a good boy!

Did you try any recovery programs? Mine are backed up to Google.

I haven't, but I never used a cloud storage....

 

[Boat1]

Yes, exactly, follow the trail.
I investigate corrupt government officials, extortion cases, mostly sexual extortion, large scale and high value fraud cases etc.
I have a knack in tracing the offenders and following the money.

Are you allowed/afforded any choice on what you investigate?
I've definitely got one that needs it...

 

[Boat1]

His was/is property and casualty mostly. Scams on fraud claims, a ring of clergy students faking car wrecks and damage stuff - he was on the witness stand for a couple of days on that one - a guy who shipped his car back to Rumania and reported it stolen, all kinds of stuff. My favorite was the video poker mogul who built a huge house and then burned it down. And another one where they blew the house up.


Fun times . . . .

Same thing I said to Secretadmirer... I wonder if I could afford the day rate.

Alcohol and anything dangerous (firearms, tools, machines etc) do not mix well.

Alcohol and stupid doesn't mix well either. Been watching some of that on UTube lately...

 

[dkak001]

I don't use cloud storage either.

But I do geek out and use SyncThing. Running on my own server and phone. With the proper configuration all pictures get backed up when the phone is on my own wifi. Setting that software up the first time isn't for the faint of heart.

Alcohol and stupid mixing together creates Darwinism

Are we the same person w the same musical tastes???

I shared a pic with a friend who suggested that I sell/publish it...
I'll see if he can send it back to me to share with y'all.

Amazing tune!

Just be sure not to drink beer and split wood. I am speaking from experience.

I've cracked open a new decade and I've slapped it on the grill!
Order up and on the house!

On behalf of the Cafe: Happy Birthday!!

Why is the day before you leave town always the busiest motherfucker on the calendar?
Caught up for the moment... let's see if I can squeeze in one last check-in before I go...

Night hun

You've been burning the midnight oil, @Oldermom935... but posting The Morning Java about the same time. Hope you're getting enough sleep.

I'll think about that. I hate selling stuff because I don't like randos at my house.

The few times I've bought/sold from Craigslist... I would meet at the police station. Outside but parked in full view of their security camera. Some stations would even have signs designating parking spots for that purpose.

You must have sent all your hot weather west! We've been roasting here with 90+ weather since Friday last week. I need to mow the yards but I'm not going to do it in this heat. Supposedly we get some relief tomorrow.

Yikes! Hope it cools off before you melt

I got to sit up and "cuss and discuss" everything about life with my Lovely Wife Goddess until 02:00 this morning..... the depth She has and shares with me is nothing short of incredible!

I love those kinds of talks!

Same - just not always the timing of them (i.e. late, late, late at night)

Hi all, what’s the news?

At the office and it is now 7:21am. We worked till 8pm last night.

13 hour days? Are you working a 3/4 cycle? That's... a lot!!

I really enjoy my work, catching people out in their own lies during an investigation is intoxicating. The look on their faces when they realize, in that moment, that the jig is up and their ass is grass. Priceless.

I worked with an attorney who loved the big reveal in court when the opposing side was trying to hide assets.

I've cracked open a new decade and I've slapped it on the grill!
Order up and on the house!

Proving to be a busy week. Dealing with the fence on Sunday. Monday night chairing a meeting. Yesterday worked for nearly 12 hours and tonight our community meeting to Chair. Did I say I was nearly retired.

Mmm-hmm, yep... that's exactly what retirement looks like

Here ya go @Lilianna23 and the rest of you sooonies.

It's almost like being in the front row! - thanks for sharing!!

Hope you do! That’s really too hot to mow. Unless you do it in the early evening.

(Or early morning… runs and hides… I know you’re not a morning person! )

No wonder there's so many swallows dipping to feast - that's prime Mosquito Time

Never forget about the asshattery.

Meanwhile, my line had yesterday's fucking plumbing leak. There is a supply pipe called CPVC. After it is over 20 years old, it gets brittle. It's a maintenance man's nightmare. Touch a line to turn off a toilet valve and have it sometimes, without warning, pop loose in the wall and then you have a half-inch (12mm) line spewing forth. Anyway, we have that pipe in this 48-unit apartment/flat rehab. Did the first 3 units Monday. The downstairs kitchen cold water supply popped a'loose 24 hours later. The only good part is, she's in the hospital so she isn't home for this "experience."

Story is, if she were home, it wouldn't have been her first rodeo.

Nightmare

Yes, sorry, should have been clearer. The PVC pipes are all waste water pipes for outflowing water, all our feeder pipes (hot and cold) is copper. More expensive but much much more durable.

Don't tell anyone you have the copper... puts you high on the Copper Thieves List. We've had so many telephone poles and (mostly empty) homes damaged over the years by copper thieves.

Good morning denizens of the diner. Lots of fast moving thread. I confess I scan though most of it.

Today is prep day. Until about 5, it’s a liquid diet. So I will be on and off until then and then off until it’s over.

Then it’s a long weekend!!

Thinking of you!! Hope you get good test results!

Same here, Medical Insurance is the final hurdle to "freedom" from the corporate machine for me.

Likely the reason I'll have one of those "Part Time Retiree Jobs"... paying for healthcare

Only the greatest commercial ever! HDH approved.

Happy HumpDay. Sadly it’s my Monday. Off to Fla…I hope it’s cooling off down yonder. Just an airline, so no work, straight to hotel.

My BFF loved that commercial when it came out.

I used to have Tues/Wed as my weekend. Hated it

Some insurers here use drones to assess roof damage after a storm, or crop damage.
They come out before hand to get images of your property then compare the before and after photos when you claim.

Insurance, real estate, construction, agriculture, energy, film, and emergency services...
Where aren't they being used?

Tell me you've been on some Snipe Hunts without telling me

What? It's not Plug-N-Play?

I shared a pic with a friend who suggested that I sell/publish it...
I'll see if he can send it back to me to share with y'all.

I would love to see it... and then we can all check online to see if someone else has already published it for you. JK - sort of

Okay - I'm off to run errands and pack before leaving early tomorrow. Other than a brief dip in the pool here/there I'll see folks again around next Tuesday.

We're planning to try apples soon, so I'm open to any tips!

I think I asked you, but have you seen the documentary that made waiter this year about their warily years?

It was excellent. Lots of interviews - even some older ones w John bonham. I’d recommend it.

Wife and I saw it in the theater.

I’ll have to dig up
Some old pics. My wife dated a rock photographer in the late 70s (she’s 10 yo than I) and she took some phenomenal pics of LZ herself.

I saw this at thee cinemas when it came out as well, some great footage I hadn’t seen before

 

[Adventurous_soul]

Morning all!
