    Giant Lego. (Lego is the plural of Lego)

    Why is that killer whale pixellated?  A very odd photograph...
    Interesting that you asked why it was pixellated and not… jumping out of the concrete.

    Pixelated because it is naked. Obviously. 

    Enjoy your time in Vancouver, @JohnInCarolina. Beautiful city. And some of the most expensive real estate in the world.

    I knew the prices were inflated due to the administration running the market aground, but I didn't really have an idea until I just pulled the Zillow chart..

    pulled a 70's screen house off the platform, time to give it a new purpose. the old pressure treated stuff really held up, not like the newer crap.



    wood sealers, thinking oil base. deck was pressure treated and it was already old when i bought the house 20 years ago. thoughts or recommendations. might do the dock as well. this is what i found, looks easier than the water base and says it penetrates deeper.

    Some days are worse than others.  Poor delivery guy had the printer roll out the back of the truck and off the lift.

    And it will be more than fifty percent on the house with no appraisal in the last two years. The firemen and EMTs are voluntary and we don't have policemen or a station

    currently in process of replacing #17...yanked it last week after testing its capabilities on a pistachio shell (shell-1, tooth-0). 

    Bone graph inserted and the beginning of a 3 month process before the zirconium rod installation.

    Interested to see how that post affects your rendering on the AI / Art thread.    
    Do you predict your cell phone reception will improve or decline after the installation, likewise the safe proximity to operating microwave ovens? 

    Oh - hope you feel OK, too.

    Just gave a large, slightly-limp carrot to my next-door-neighbor's pot-bellied pig, who now weighs 385 lbs (not a sentence I expected to write in my lifetime).   
    He seemed to be happy, wagged his tail; do pigs do that like dogs when they're happy?  
     
    When the Lidocaine wore off last night (after my gum butchering), I had no pain/bleeding at all.  Slept very well last night, and no pain this morning (in fact I missed one of my 6-hr ibuprofin doses today).  Made a pan of my Mom's goulash (public-school cafeteria version, not the real Hungarian stuff), nice and soft, so I should be fed for the next four days.

    I’m happy to see your mouth is healing well! What did you do for the goulash? I’ve had a million variations as a Hungy. My grandma (from the old country) made the only one I’ve ever liked though  :)

    'Murican goulash is just a lb of ground beef, browned, some diced onion, 3-to-4 cups of tomato juice, 2 cups of macaroni (boiled/drained), 1 Tblspn chili powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, salt-n-pecker to taste, stirred together and baked at 350º for an hour (not "Hungarian" whatsoever).  For me its Comfort food, filling, easy, and.... soft.

    I never had chop suey with tomato juice, it was always a can of Campbell tomato soup.  Much better texture.

    @billt01

    Had a bumload of dental work done in the last two years, including 6 crowns (3 of which required root canals) and 2 implants. Since I have a bone disease, they couldn't tell me if the implants would even work, whether my bone would "grow" around the insert or not. The first one was a $5,000 experiment. The dentist packed the hole with "extra" cadaver bone, hoping that would help. We also waited longer than the few months to give the bone extra time to graph. I've had that implant in for about a year now and it seems to be holding up so far. When I had a core decompression of my right knee about 12 years ago (trying to save me from requiring a knee replacement), after coring it out with a drill, they packed it full of bone powder, hoping I would grow enough internal bone structure that I wouldn't require a knee replacement right away, as I was recovering from two very recent hip replacements at the time, so they were trying to buy me time between operations. What grew looked like a spider web of bone, and literally disintegrated as soon as the surgeon sent a needle into it. Obviously it wasn't a success and a few days later I was in for a full knee replacement, regardless of my recent hip replacements. In the long run it worked out, but it was really painful.

    Hope your insert works out. 😬
