The Browns "trade down and stock up" strategy makes some sense. I get it. The problem is, I have zero faith in their ability to execute a strategy. Any strategy, really.

I don't think I've ever seen a situation for which this gif is more applicable.

Same as me! Here's my restored 1968 Triumph Spitfire.

I'm hoping the car makes more appearances in the book beyond the early chase scene...which did not end well for Lt. Colonel Jon Smith!

About 40 pages in and I'm upset that I waited so long to read it.

Why?

The lead character drives a restored 1968 Triumph (presumably a Spitfire Mark III).

This book has been sitting in my den for almost 20 years, along with five others from the Covert One series. My wife bought them for me after I read The Bourne Identity.

Not sure why, but I just never read them.

I grabbed The Hades Factor as a quick beach read for the week.

Five years after removing it from my old office, I finally installed the crown jewel of my patent marking collection...in my garage.

Now on to hanging dozens of other, smaller markings around it. Might take me another five years.

Roasted yesterday, delivered today.

This is my latest flea market patent marking find. I've got some great photo ideas for this once I clean it up a bit.

We spent time in Fargo each December for a few years, a few years ago, for high school robotics competitions. We stayed near NDSU and managed to catch a tailgate one year. Really opened my eyes to FCS football, and I've enjoyed following the team ever since. Go Bison!

So get up on that wagon.

We're going up north to put the word on the streets.

Tonight only, the fabulous Blues Brothers Rhythm and Blues Revue

at the Palace Hotelballroom,
Route 16...
Lake Wazapamani.

The fabulous Blues Brothers Show Band and Revue.

(spotted last night in downtown Maumee, Ohio)

If you see this, post something blue.

Blue Angels at Willow Run Airport, 2022, and all I had was my iPhone.

I wonder when we'll start seeing the @bsky.app Butterfly in these ubiquitous social icon lineups.

And, yep @jeffatc.bsky.social, I found myself at a @raisingcanes.bsky.social tonight, though it wasn't the new one in our area. ;-)

At the other place, I used to post my photos of patent markings, with stories of the inventions, inventors, and histories behind them. It’s my weird way to combine several of my interests, and I kind of love it.
