I wouldn't have thought Jim had the legs to pull that dress off.

Gets her looks from grandpa?
I had to look twice.. She doesn't have a beard!
She might carry a 45 but I didn't see any unnatural bulges..

My usual buffet food at Panda:

My temporary mount for DishyMcFlatface (not safe to try to put it on the tower-- stuff gets hit by lightning and blown off- also need to be able to retrieve dishy if a storm is coming).

The mess in the living room (and all over the house) is definitely not healthy. Need to get my brother to help me on a day its not raining to get the rest of the room cleaned up. Will need a 2nd pair of hands for all the boxes. We still have 2 recliners buried in that mess. Also need to vacuum and use carpet shampoo. I've caught mom throwing stuff on the floor again and had to pick it up. I've been taking all trash out of the room immediately. I already emptied her trash can by her desk and put in an empty bag for her so she has no excuses.

A satellite dish will not benefit one iota from being up on a tower. Performance would be decreased due to more losses in the longer feed line required.

You still need to ground the dish mount however. I don't see any grounding evident in your picture, but you did say it was temporary.

I don't see any antennas on your tower. Just a tower. But do you have any feed lines from that tower coming into your house or attaching to your house (even if unused)? That is still a major lightning/fire hazard. Get rid of any unused feed lines, and make sure your tower is grounded appropriately. Ask a HAM radio friend to help/advise you. Plenty of them here on the forums.

I wonder how this marriage worked out? Was Mama able to let go of her son?

Do you like to watch videos about bush crafting? I find them very interesting.

Before is navy uniform.

His face does look fuller in the other, but his complexion seems to be more broken out.

Wouldn't a chain saw be the way to get started with this, to rough it out?

History In Pictures

New York City's Central Park in 1933. During the Great Depression millions of people lost their jobs and were evicted from their homes. The result was 'Hoovervilles' or shanty towns popping up across the U.S.

I know my Viasat dish's pole is grounded somehow. There's a wire coming out that goes into a metal pipe that sinks into the ground. I think my Dishnetwork one is also grounded to that pipe. I need to examine how it is done. Not sure if the tower is grounded. It does have an AT&T booster strapped to the side with a cable going in to the house to an amp. None of our outlets are grounded properly so that is something we need to get fixed. The phones keep getting fried from the phoneline's end somehow. So the phoneline is not grounded properly (as the phone is plugged in to surge protector).

Oh but could be so much fun!

For some reason it reminds me of how in Italy they carved houses out of mountains/stone hills. They apparently keep a regular temp around 60°F. Must have taken a ton of work to chip it out though. There's even an entire city carved in stone.

For some reason that reminded me of some letters that were returned to my uncle by one of my grandfather's cousins. He was from NJ and he went to California to seek a better job. They were stopping people from entering the state and making them sleep in tent camps though. Anyone who didn't already have a job was not allowed to enter the state. Completely illegal now (if the people are US citizens or have proper documentation). He was born in 1903 so he would have been about 30.

Meanwhile, my dog has a boyfriend. I hope she's spayed because there was no way to tell. She's had puppies before and was very well cared for by her previous owner but we think her owner died or was put in a nursing home and she & her puppies were abandoned. She literally climbed into my brother's lap when he was taking a break sitting on the curb outside his work.
Dog doesn't like to hold still much so getting pics wasn't easy. This is him running off with Princess following:

This was the best pic I was able to get of him

Huge pine died and had to have it cut down today...broke my heart...but had to do it...

@zannej , there are homes carved into mountains in a few places. Turkey has many. There are some countries that seem to just be stone, so what else can they use for homes?

These are cave dwellings, homes, in Cappadocia, Turkey.

Here is a pic from the "country" of Haiti. Keep in mind that in the whole country there is not a single working sewer system. I don't think there is room for each of these houses to have their own septic system. How does that work out?

Not sure how it works but I wouldn't want to live at the bottom of the hill.

I briefly had a roommate from Ecuador. I have no idea how she got to the U.S., but it was apparent that her family was poor. She collected all kinds of used clothing and sent it to her family back home. I have often thought that for all of the people who live like they do, such as this place in Haiti, they do not know any different and neither do their neighbors. They don't have running water or electricity either. They are all in the same situation. If one of us who has had running water and sewers our whole lives were to be put in that situation, wouldn't we be trying to figure out how to improve that situation? Part of why this doesn't bother them is that they often do not have food to eat or to feed their children either. When one of the earthquakes happened, around 2010, I found out that they often make mudcakes for the children to eat, when they don't have anything else.

There are places in rural Mississippi like that sadly. They had it on the news. Hell, some of it is even suburban Mississippi in poor neighborhoods. State & city govt won't spring for sewage systems & apparently septic tank systems are extremely expensive.

The doggy came inside the house earlier but was too afraid to get close or go any further than the kitchen. I'm hoping we can find out who owns him. He has a collar so I think someone may be missing him. I tried to post on the lost and found pets for my area but am awaiting admin approval. They rejected it the last time I tried to post about a missing dog- not sure why.

There was a very bad wreck in town last night. Someone stole a tahoe and was going 100mph through 40mph zone. There was a multi-car pileup. Someone hit a pole, parked cars at a local grocery store were hit. One car got flipped. My friend's ex almost got hit & someone ran into the road in front of her with their hands in the air and almost got run over by her.
Car of one of the victims:

Stolen vehicle that caused the wreck:

Another victim vehicle

Totaled victim truck. Guess they aren't going to be able to sell it now. :-(

I heard that one person was hospitalized.
