    Hummer wars

    I feed a swarm of hummingbirds. Anyone who has watched their activity is familiar with the constant dogfighting. The thing that I am curious about is how they can turn their "hummm" into "HUMMM!!" to attempt intimidation. They don't seem to increase the frequency, just the amplitude of the...

    A moment to remember

    SpinnerBait-Nut, our friend, fellow moderator and helper who passed away. . . .it seems sometimes like just yesterday. He would have been 59 today. He left us far, far too soon. Rest in honored peace, Lester. The footprints you left on iboats fora made a big and positive difference,

    Help for Grandma

    You could substitute Grandpa. I get this sort of help from Don S and Bob_VT all the time.

    Automotive history rant.

    This really bugs me. The auto related shows on DTV mangle the truth about automotive history. I was watching "101 cars you must drive" this morning. They are from a different planet than I grew up on. I have been a car nut for about 70 years. I was there when: The Le Sabre concept car was...

    Born on the 4th of July

    Every morning when I log in the first thing I do is check the listing of (known) birthday members. When I recognize active members I will post a greeting (unless Bob_VT has beaten me to it). Sometimes I miss. We have over 375,000 registered members, so the chances that someone born on this day...

    Mousemobile?

    I don't love everything about my 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid 4X4, but I do really like the drivetrain. It is a pleasure to drive. Now I have a problem. Miserable RATZAKRATZA rodents. A month or so ago I discovered signs of mouse activity in the box of cleaning and emergency supplies I keep...

    R.I.P. Miss Kitty.

    Miss Kitty, 11/1990-6/2012 passed quietly at the Pet Western Animal Hospital in Mineral Wells today. She was not just my cat, she was my family's cat. Three grandsons, now parents themselves, grew up with her. She had grown too feeble to function properly. Giving her relief was the hardest...

    Proof that worrying works.

    Finally got the report on the biopsy of the lump in my throat this morning. Completely benign, no threat. Without me worrying and the great support and good vibes from my iboats mates there is no telling what terrible result might have happened. Thanks again for the good vibes. :)

    GOSH, Josh!!

    SHAZAM!! :D Captain Marvel is named Josh Hamilton and he plays for the Texas Rangers. Five at bats in tonight's game in Baltimore = 4 home runs and a double. He also homered in his last at bat last night. That is five homers and a double in six times at bat. First time there have been 4 homers...

    Ohhhhh. Jeopardy screwed up.

    One of the few network shows I watch is Jeopardy. Tonight they made an error that probably changed the outcome of the game. See if you can identify it. The question asked to identify the black variety of carnivore that is becoming very rare in Florida. One contestant offered "what is a...

    Anymore MENSA members here?

    I notice a lot of powerful intellects here and wonder if any of you are Mensans. I joined Mensa many years ago as a way to encourage my #1 daughter to join. It was both interesting and sometimes disappointing, but it really lit up my resume (I didn't have any advanced degrees then). I let my...
