An Eastern Parson Spider that I found in our sunroom. I just got it cleaned up and organized. I vacuumed every square inch of that room.
After I got finished, the GF and I were sitting back there enjoying some beers and music. I spotted 4 more spiders. They came out to hunt after the sun went down.
This is from a couple weeks ago at Avon Old Farms Hotel in CT. Piss-poor parking job. Dent in front bumper. Empty parking lot. But I guess the person driving this gem gets a pass because of the handicapped tag. Oh, BTW, all the handicapped spaces were free. 🤷
Finally cleaning up the rock ledge on the property. In the spring well be doing some landscaping and lighting in the area. It's pretty cool to have a feature like that next to the house!
Taken with a digital Intel camera sometime around 2001. Both of the Thunderbirds that I used to have, and the infamous Impulse Turbo.
My roommate berkeleyed up the door of my '76 because he had his hearse parked there where the grass isn't, and his attitude towards parking was "an inch of gap is an inch wasted" and his door gouged my car when he opened it.

Fall asleep on the couch while eating ice cream from the tub and reading a car magazine.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I much prefer chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, now.
In reply to No Time :
Is that a crack in the holder? Or just a gouge/shadow?
I just got my skates sharpened for the year. 3/4 hollow, once a year whether they need it or not. Last year I think I got about 200-300 hours of ice time on them.
In reply to mtn :
It's a small ribbon of plastic from being scraped by another skate along the holder.
I finally bit the bullet and bought a sharpener. The youngest is a a sophomore, so three HS seasons, plus spring and fall seasons left before college.
The local cost for a sharpening is $10, and very few local rinks have pro shops anymore. It's probably going to be at least weekly sharpening once the HS season gets going, and my job is m hybrid with many weeks where I'm not even in the office. That makes sharpening a special trip that takes an hour of my time round trip including time for the sharpening.
