I like turtles.
Oatmeal cookies are only oatmeal cookies if they have raisins.

We have a busy week at work.
The Lemons car is coming together nicely.
I have one. Tim refused to play....
What would have happened had Stalin NOT stopped at Berlin. Could the allies have stopped the soviets from taking western Europe in 1945?

OOoooh! Good one!
My dog is super psyched that she gets to hang out with me all day!
I pulled the fender liner out of the right rear wheel on the i8 yesterday to do some cleaning/look around inside. Cleaned out some road grime, demonstrated some automotive OCD.
Still not warm enough to take the tires out on the road, so it's a nice way somewhat value-added way to pass the time.
After I do the rest of the fender liners, I'll probably pull the rest of the under body panels.
I'm toying with the idea of cleaning some surface corrosion off the oil sump and maybe even polishing/waxing the bare aluminum reinforcement plate on the rear subframe.

You would have to look at who had stuff left. By 45, the Soviets had used up a whole lot of resources driving the Nazis back, and all they were gaining was Germany, which had used up everything they had available. Great Britain had used up a great deal of stuff, but had the Americans backing them up, who had three years less war than everyone else, and resources from all over the empire. Canada, India, Africa, Australia... I think the Russians were happy to keep what they had.
Joan Jett produced The Germs. Bad Reputation is an exceptionally good movie.

I'm honestly surprised that he stopped.
Imagine what the world would look like today if smallpox had been an indigenous peoples disease that European settlers had no defense against.

The Allies had some discussions about turning on the Soviets after WWII.
How about this: Hitler's infatuation with dive bombers was a result of his experience with trench warfare and demonstrated a lack of understanding with evolving tactics.
In reply to bobzilla :
Yeah, we had just nuked Japan and were on a pretty serious roll ourselves. Stalin wanted no part of the US war machine.
In reply to Streetwiseguy :
By 1945 the Americans were producing 250 aircraft per day, most of which were heavy bombers and fighters. No possible way that Russia could have matched that. They were lucky they got Berlin.
I've been really drooling over tritoon boats lately. I always thought the old 2-tube pontoons were boring, dull, and unfit for saltwater bay duty. The more I look into the modern three-tube boats, the more I want one. On a 22' boat you can typically carry 12-14 people, run 150-200HP outboard, top out between 35 and 40mph, and only draw 8" of water. Plus they handle a 2-3' chop easily.
I never thought I'd be a pontoon owner, but I'll be damned if I'm not leaning that way. Maybe even buying new.
Fuel injecting a carburetor car loses some of the soul of the car. Kinda like putting breast implants on Betty white. Not wrong for all people, but not right either.
How would the world be different today if Leonardo DaVinci had accepted the patronage of the king of France?

Oatmeal chocolate chip is like beer-flavored tequila or something. Both flavors are good individually, but together they're not quite right.

This better make "Say What?".
Also, I like pie.

True... we were unloading the fighters we (arguably, for various reasons) didn't want to the Russians as war assistance - RE: the P39 Airacobra.
Pigs taste good.

In Ukraine (and possibly other places) liver pie with mayonnaise on it is a thing.
It looks a lot like chocolate with whipped cream... but definitely does not taste the same.
