folks driving over the Walt Whitman bridge today in Philadelphia sure got a treat.
They moved the USS New Jersey from its birth on the Camden side of the River, down under the Whitman Bridge,
around Horseshoe Curve and down to the Philadelphia Naval Yard.
old boating ground for me, taking folks up close to that battleship on my boat was a real treat for everyone.
Apparently enough money was raised to take it in for at least partial renovation.

Philadelphia has a very old cruiser(?) and an old submarine on display, has for a long time.
best part is if you scoot down this one long alley you can take your own boat right near the old ones on display.
much better view, no lines

Good Afternoon,
I wanted to dress up my new mailbox pole, so I bought a solar light that goes on top of the 6x6 pole ! Lights up nice at night if it’s been a sunny day !
Looks good (y) hope the flies spiders don't move in.

timer dinged, time to inspect dinner.
In navy talk,
hopefully good chow.
Hmmm... In 'my' Navy talk it's "scran". :) It was years after I'd retired before I finally learnt that it was an acronym from the 18th century for a type of, what we'd call today, 'trail mix'. Sultanas, Currants, Raisins And Nuts which was stored/packaged in burlap sacks stamped S.C.R.A.N.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.9C and it's presently 21C, fairly clear with a gentle breeze.

Horse transfer accomplished so the clean-up of Paddock #6 awaits. The local Navy Cadet unit has asked me to come in this evening to instruct on playing the bo's'n 'call' (or 'pipe', either is correct. Never 'whistle'!).

That's about it, take care all.

I reported a google map error once, took several months before I got feedback that they changed it, but they did.
Only takes a minute or 2, to submit a google map change or comment. De minimis. I sometimes leave positive comments, I sometimes leave negative comments. I ring the bell if I get good service.

Frits, glad for daughters, prayers for son. Nice knife sharpener. Women typically dull knives to give men something to do right? Also, I'm sure it is possible to train muscles to switch arms somewhat. I am not ambidextrous. Be careful in that barn rebuild. Glad you are engineer.

Having some fun with my student workers, learning about cnc plasma cutting. Still have some electrical issues that are supposed to keep cutting tip's height a certain distance above the material. Tons to learn about the parameters. Powering it with a Hypertherm powermax 105.

You guys and your "thin nice looking" staff handling your bizness. LOL. Funny thing, I was just thinking about the pros and cons of using our local female doctor, (who is quite a nice looking lady), for my physician. I've always tried to use a male doc, so my junk doesn't get any ideas. But in 7+ years when I retire, it would be nice not to have to drive over an hour away for a doctor visit. Maybe by then I won't have anything to worry about...

Helogabals, it could be worse, your daughter could be dating a rock band drummer..... :)

You 2 bass players (Paul and Paul), I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Bass players stay out of treble" and had a bass clef symbol on it.

RNG, I'm not going to lie, when you said you were moving, the first thing that came to mind was....that man has a LOT OF STUFF!

That would be austin sadly.

Good Morning TBS,
Here is a picture of my little electric hand held chain saw ! The blade is only about 4” so it’s limited to small branches etc ! But I did use it for trying to cut a 45 deg through 6x6 PT when I was doing my mailbox pole project ! This thing will cut !!
I see where they can be very handy! I bought a little reciprocating saw kind of like that. It's been handy but the chain would be good too.
