Looks good.

BTW, how was the temperature?

It was 97.8... I will leave it up to you as to what part of his body was measured to get to this reading.

@djeffers78 said in Opinions on Valve Oils?:

Preferably Hetmans 2
But anything works fine as long as it’s not Blue Juice
If Holton oil was still a thing I’d still use it. I’ve heard Linzoil is the same but haven’t tried it

I used both Holton (my initial favorite) and Blue Juice. I also was tempted by Monster Oil. Of these Monster Oil really slowed down my valve action, Blue Juice was just OK, and Holton did fine. However Ultra Pure gives me the fastest action, lasts the longest and leaves less residue in between oiling as I noted from wiping down the valves prior to re applying oil. Learned the valve wipe down technique from Rowuk.

Ultra Pure has become my favorite.

The earth doesn't have gravity, rather, it sucks.

is a joke thread really the place for another Evolutionist vs Creationist discourse?
Let's make this thread funny again...

OK. Let me try to put a humorous twist to the discussion:

Brian-Moon, a lot of physics got us to advance in space explorations that came from math of space expansion over the Billions and Billions of years. Here is a video proving how this ageless application of science got us to the moon:

Wuss!

Absolutely. And remember there is a W before the us's. (You and I)

@neal085 said in Happy 4th of July!:

Glad we've had a ton of rain this year - no burn bans were in effect. We shot off quite a bit at our 4th gathering, although most of it was stuff the boys didn't get to shoot last year.

I am Sooooooooooo glad there are people such as you and your family that do this. First of all, I can only imagine it takes up most if not all of the stimulus checks received to fund this... but this neighbor is truly appreciative. I know in my neighborhood, we had 3 neighbors within eye shot of my home shooting off an amazing display from 9:30 pm until 11:30 pm. Never, I mean never, have I gone to a "professional" fireworks display and seen this long of a show. AND what is amazing is our neighbors were shooting off the real rockets. I would hear the poof, see rockets taking off toward the sky for at least 5-10 seconds then huge plumes of flash and color... 2 solid hours.... and many, many gin an tonics later.... THE BEST 4th OF JULY SHOW I EVER ATTENDED!!!

Saying: thank you "veery" much, to Veery.

OK... Thanks for keeping me on track. Thank God I have only a one track mind... much easier to accomplish.

At least you can N gauge!

OH! (on a smaller scale and with dyslexia)

HO man, sorry to hear that.

More like an O man. My dad had an O gauge set up in our basement when I was a kid. I mean it was our entire basement. He had mountains, lakes, bridges, houses, churches, businesses, roadways with cars, farms with animals... Had a blast running them with Dad. We had electronic controlled switches so could move trains between rail patterns. Really cool way to bring Father and Son together!

@Tobylou8 said in Happy 4th of July!:

I had a great 4th also. There were more fireworks than ever thanks to the "bans" on public gatherings.

I noted the EXACT same thing. AND from the comfort of my back deck... with adult beverages and no worry as to security taking them away from us!

When referring to lower forms... are you suggesting... perhaps.... country western singers?

@mdwilliams said in Harrelson Trumpets:
...I had to put it down before I got tempted to spend all the money I have for one!

That is a down side to Harrelson horns (and mouthpieces). They are rather pricey.

@Rapier232 said in Harrelson Trumpets:

@Dr-GO

Yes, but do you like it?

@BigDub said in Artist on BOARD:

Well, here's something I just completed. You might like this one, DrGO?

It's missing a ship on the horizon, right? Maybe you want to post THAT one for comparison, or maybe not if you don't give a ship.

@GeorgeB said in Harrelson Trumpets:

@Dr-GO
How do you like your Harrelson, Doc ?

It's a gift from Heaven. It has so many textures and so easy to "turn" the horn on between them. I have a very large bell in between that of a traditional trumpet bell and flugelhorn bell (#7). It can sound so mellow during ballads, and with a harmon mute, it plays with the sound from my Martin Committee. Yet, when I put my 5mm Jettone copy in, it peals paint as a lead horn. It plays with essentially no resistance, makes the upper range as relaxed as in the staff (which makes the upper range sound relaxed - when I want it to). Just an amazing instrument.

So glad you like them! Thanks for the feedback, David:-)
I think the wine color is more handsome than the camera captures- do you think so?

I don't know, just had two glasses of wine and it looks damn good to me in this picture!

@Brian-Moon said in A little humour:
...Most people can't make an accurate portrayal of events 100 years ago, much less the supposed millions of years ago. Who can hope to authoritatively state such a record?

I remember looking into carbon dating a while back, and the margin for error is apparently astronomical. As a dating mechanism it has more questions than answers, yet it was taught as the standard for my entire school tenure.

Anyway, don't know how all this landed under the topic of humor, so, uh, here's a quick joke:

What is green and has wheels?

Grass. I was lying about the wheels.

No proof for millions of years. One reason is that it is physically impossible. PM me if you'd like to know more. The best evidence shows that Utah was covered by an ocean about 4,500 years ago.

Lets take it back Billions of years (accurate to 120 million years):

Grass. I was lying about the wheels.

...and possibly smoking the grass... which lead to the creation of the above "joke" no doubt.
