Spider???

He, or she (or they -- not sure about spiders) was very cooperative while I set up the measuring tape & snapped a bunch of photos. I like the way the flash glinted off its eyes -- although in the picture I posted above, only one of them is really glinting

Mrs. H, for reasons I cannot fathom, does not like spiders. I keep tellin' her that they eat bugs and that spiders are our friends, but she's not buying it.
Shots fired, shots fired, Officer needs backup!
I'm N. Mississippi you could go out in the yard (we had a 3 acre lot)at night and shine a light into the grass and they would shine everywhere. 1,000s of them. Creeped me the *&#%$ out! I wanted to spray fuel on the whole property and burn it.
Dont know why but heights and spider are my kryptonite! -

Yes, but the gut spread after a proper stomping is the true measure. -
My son sent me this inspiring image earlier today (he hasn't offered an opinion on our arachnid fellow traveler so far*)
A photo of that reminds me of a Hunter S. Thompson quote:
____________When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
* He had a run-in with a similar spider a year or so ago down in VA. It was clearly stalking him at the time -- he did finally get it corralled and put it outside.

Does that spider bark by chance? -

Dunno. Didn't really spend a lot of time on ice-breakers, you know?

Where'd you get that photo? That's the super top secret Elon Musk Mars/Lunar manned rover. Note the Tesla recessed door handles (design flaw). Be careful doc. -

Remarkable. The internet has now fulfilled its ultimate purpose. It may be decommissioned now; there is no need for any further service on its part.

ahh, the simple, understated elegance of vacuum tube amplification...

Are those small translucent pianos on the two front corners? That amp must have been owned by either Liberace or King Farouk.

I plumb missed the pianos!
Wonder where the fortes are?

I like the temperature displays on what I guess are the output transformers. It looks like one channel is running a little warmer than the other.

That thing has some bling bling
