Mark, you can imagine the attention I get with little Bingo. Good thing my wife is not only pretty but also my best friend.

SAW man, go pet your cat.

 

[scottjoplin]

I wish I could but I spoke of him in the past tense because he has passed over and is now killing (already dead??) small(er) furry animals in a better place

 

[Cal Weldon]

In time I am hoping you will find it in your heart to welcome another one into your life. It is good for both of you.

Purchased an Elac ds-s101-g as a birthday present.
Really happy with this product, so much better than pc or laptop.
The whole user experience makes you want to keep listening to music.

For those of you who don' have a mirror (or have one but don't know how to use it)!

Mystery of what dodo looked like finally solved (it depends what month you saw it)

 

[Gyuri]

I didn't know this fact:
"The dodo gets its name from the Portuguese word for 'fool' after sailors mocked it for its apparent lack of fear of armed hunters."
Thanks!

I'm constantly struggling against chaos, as usual.
This is not a news.
I had to deal with my car, too.
My very best neighbor is a car mechanic, so I can be done the repair in his workshop.
I could bought parts at a good price by favor of him.
Silent blocks, ball joints and complete clutch mechanism and so on...
I've got help from him as well, if needed.
He is a very good chap, intelligent and inventive.

But my other neighbor is trying to bother my life.
The old woman simply rolled out her medicine.

Meanwhile, my important projects suffered delays.
Yet, I've got some progress with my second Sony VFET amp, and my Pass HPAs.

 

[Gyuri]

My God, I can not believe this!
I was just up in the apartment right now, and my wife said my cat rushed out of the bathroom window, judging from the traces, the old woman threw him with water.
If there's something wrong with my kitty, the old woman goes to jail, and I'm good at it!

 

[Soundhappy]

All ok now with old woman and your cat ?

 

[Gyuri]

Old woman is out in the garden with hoe, she is doing her tasks:

There is devastation in her tracks, where my wife's flowers were, there is now a desert.
So I'm so happy now, you can imagine that.

cristophe,

if there were a clutch mecanism for steering, i'd buy one for myself and roll outside. must be unstoppable on loose ground

i'm actually a hamster!

[pidesd]

STRANDBEEST

Yes You can try miniature version from diy kit
and after build Your own the Ultimate BIG ONE with carbon titanium materials or wood hahaha

Mini Strandbeest Kit (A5 photocard included)

 

[pidesd]

maybe as a miniature kit for fun, but i doubt the big one would be useful as is.

plus if you factor in that it is only good when you pedal (i would think that if the legs are not pro-active and only reacting to the terrain, such as when going downhill....well it's going to be tough on the leglettes)

actually, maybe it is only suitable for going uphill or floating on the water pedalo-style.

and if it's still not working properly, you give it to Gyuri to plow ground in his garden
