Marty is just a mutt. His dad is a Goldendoodle and his mom is an Aussiedoodle. So 50% standard poodle, 25% golden retriever, and 25% Australian shepherd. He's a bit of a prick, if I am honest. Way too aggressive toward our 14.5 year-old goldendoodle, which really grinds my gears. Alas, he is only 9 weeks old, so we are cutting him some slack.
They do get along once in a while:

We had a similar issue with Ringo when he was a puppy. He was way too aggressive while trying to play with Kimi (who is also 14.5 years old). We got a steel mesh playpen for him, which he spent the night in (or when we went out).
He is also crate trained as well, which helps.

I don’t think you need to worry at all, judging from your avatar you haven’t aged in years
Maybe she’d like to try a newer one, I got this Japanese one and it looks waaaay better than the one my late wife had from Hong Kong.
Growing up our family didn't use them but once I was with my concubine, I thought they were the cat's meow. That's why I am so surprised she opted for a kettle. Anyway, this is one that is readily available at our local asian stores.

My Asian-extended family simply like to drink hot water. It may trace back to days when water had to be boiled to be safe. Once you get into the habit of drinking warm water it prepares you to fully appreciate British beer, which unlike North American beer, should not be consumed at fridge temperatures.
Yes, my extended family will use one leaf for a keg of tea.
And as you Herefordshirers already know, the darker it is the warmer it should be served. Lighter beer is fine to have cold as you're not missing any flavour anyhow and it may as well be 'refreshing.'
Wait, this isn't the food and drink thread.
Never mind. (Gilda Radner)

Haha warm beer?
You guys been drinking at some cruddy UK pubs then...
British (or is it English Ale) shouldn't be chilled, unlike a pilsner lager...
But it isn't served warm.
Just like, when eating out, you'll get served chilled (not iced) water. (Q for Bonus points: why do we omit ice?)
5-10 degrees C. Plenty cool enough, about the same as tap water
Cool for most, perhaps warm for those further North than us, where 5-10deg C water may actually warm the cockles.
(A: hygiene)
Of course, it ignores that the beer is usually kept in a cellar, and not all ales are hand pump drawn, and can be gasified.
I think just the act of adding gas, causes cooling of beer, from the pressure drop at infusion (diffusion?)

Hehe,
Well Lucas only made gauges as far as I know, and they're ain't none of them on MY fridge (or any I've ever seen) - odd isnt it, that we still use their crimp connectors, some decades later?
But hey, you guys are welcome to as much beer (cold, tepid, or warm) as you like.
I'm tee total, and my immune system thanks me for it!
I suspect, if I wasnt tee total, then by now I'd also be drowning my sorrows, instead of trying to bolster my positivity

Hi Jeff,
Yes, the weather sure is getting great!
The one concern we have (that didn't occur to us before) is that social distancing is making early socialization of the puppy difficult. He is going to get very used to it being just 3 humans and 1 other dog around. He already shows signs of fear when he hears other dogs barking in the neighbourhood.
Maybe we need a dog thread.

That was a common joke concerning the reliability of the electrical system in many 60's vintage British Leyland cars. I spent some time chasing the gremlins out of old MGA's, MGB's and an Austin Healey Sprite in my youth. Far too many corroded connections and splices for hot humid south Florida weather in leaky convertibles......not that my friends 50's VW beetle was any better, hitting a bump could set the rear seat on fire if a heavy person was sitting on the right side. The battery was under the seat.
I never quite understood why there was a wire for both the positive and negative side of everything when most cars used the chassis / body for one side, usually the negative.....except for my car that was positive ground.
Careful with the Lucas and BL unreliability jokes, most of the Brit car guys I know are still in denial about that.
The whole ground wire vs frame grounding is controversial. That's one of the chronic problems on my generation of Corvette, although it hasn't affected me yet: rust causing resistance in the ground wire network (which is of course needed because the body is fibreglass).
My old Honda Accord was positive ground frame. When it was a beater I had to fabricate a plexiglass bracket to mount the $10 "universal" horn I put in. Lucky I figured it out before bolting anything in!

Lucas, the man who invented the darkness and silence.
In recent time I ordered a BlueTooth rcv module från AliX and some stuff for a nitting machine for my son. He had bough one 2nd hand and some parts were broken.
In my Lomography basket are Digiliza 35mm and Digiliza 120 scanning masks and a 3-pack of film Color Negative 35 mm ISO 400.
Also in a basket somewhere else is an Art Slim light table A5.

Lucas gauge awful reliability, BL panel fitting tolerances, triumphs eating oil, these are all things that are/were true.
Sad to say, when there are many other areas of British engineering where we led the world.
Just not many automobile companies.
I'm the kind of guy that would rather have the modernised frogeye, MGBGT, Europa but with a VTec, or modern engine, brakes, drive train, suspension.
Kind of like what that Cleetus McFarlane has done on his YT, with a 67 Galaxy and blown Cummins, but UK scale
