Yesterday I took my wife for pre booked tests at the hospital. And after having an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy the Doctors discovered my wife has Bowel Cancer. At the moment we are just numb and trying to get our heads round it, Donna is a woman who has never smoked or drank to excess (the odd glass of wine) and teaches PE at school. So she has always been fit and healthy. And in ten years has only been off work twice due to illness it just makes no sense. We have now told all the family which has been very hard on everyone. This woman is my rock for over 22 years we have only ever been apart 3 times in all those years. I find myself having to be the strong one telling everyone its alright mum will be fine, while cracking jokes and keeping a smile on my face when in reality I just want to scream. It is now a waiting game for more tests and the results from the Biopsy. We have a full body CT scan booked for the 4th of next month to see if it has spread and only after those results will the Doctors decide the next step. I do not claim to be a religeous man but I prayed for the first time in a lot of years. Not for me but for my wife who is the most wonderfull kind and gentle woman you could ever wish to meet. I only post this to remind everyone, hug the special people in your life , tell them you love them today. Because you never know what tomorrow brings. Wishing everyone the best Baldie (Rob)

Taken with phone. The cool one was a friends phone with a camera filter.

Be up north working again and then taking the summer off! See you mid-may!

Was just outside the prime zone so didn't see totality of it but had a nice afternoon out in the yard, great weather and a nice clear sky. Taken with my telescope + camera. Could find the right pc to fit between the camera and scope so really was just the camera using the scope as a 2000mm lens, would have like to have gotten the sun/moon in a full shot.

I was able to get a decent picture from my place in Arkansas.

Retired with nothing going on for the day, so decided this will be our last opportunity at our age to see another total eclipse. Drove about 2-hrs to be on the centerline down in Ohio. For us it was well worth the experience.

LOL

Back to work for me on Friday. Last few weeks been a blast. See you in 5. Take care of each other. Baldie good times come & go, so do the sad ones. Hang in there ...

Good evening folks, Just passing this your way but I am going to try a couple of things in the server as a trial I want to look at fixing the issue we have with Auto Balance. Currently, the server sets people into teams as soon as they join the server, and then scrambles it again in the next map; auto selecting peoples teams, even the spectators. What this means is that the server will try to auto balance spectators. The idea that I propose is to turn off the team auto-select, meaning that you can now choose your own teams. This stops the server from giving you a team automatically, and it should then stop the auto-balance not moving people around. However, there is a down-side to this; this will invite team stacking. People want to play with their mates, which is great and all but it can end up with teams being 6-4 etc. I would like to think that people have the decency to still choose auto select. To combat this inevitability, the server will check every 15 seconds if the teams are balanced and if not, it will move someone. Again, if it moves someone and they move themselves back to where they used to be, I will warn you. If you do it again, I will kick you. It may end up moving people all the time, but this is something I want to try out at least. This will be live for tomorrow, and will run for tomorrow to see how it goes. I have also added some new sniper maps to the server, which will break it up a bit more because I was using old maps from old rotations. Hope to see you all tomorrow!

We were in the path of totality. Was pretty neat!

Thought I was buying a potbelly stove. It was in pieces, but too small. Took it home anyway. Base was broken & a friend recommended welding it with 7018. "You can't weld cast w/that!" Try it. I'm sold, 7018 lo-hi can weld cast iron.

started out with just a gallon to make sure it was good .. and it is one of my best .

Wasn't traveling 80 miles to experience 5 minutes of darkness under a mostly cloudy sky; can experience ~12 hrs. of that tonite. Here's what it looked like at maximum occlusion as the sun peeked out for 6 seconds. W00T.

Just kidding @Timmah! I found that on the internet, I got a crap photo.

OK I will start. After researching lots of different recipes in search of a great homemade coconut chicken Thai soup (Tom Kha Gai), I kinda combined three different recipes and added some other things, trying to get that specific flavor, texture and look I love... SUCCESS!!! But... I did not write it down oops... But here is a photo. I will be working on the recipe maybe will include it here once finished.

Had to refresh my inventory. Yum.

Sorry to hear this mate. My wife is near the end of her treatments now and all I can say is stay strong and be there for her when she needs it. The treatments aren't pleasant and the overall experience is very unpleasant, which in turn affects emotions and mental well being. If you need any advice or just someone to talk to then give me a shout. In the meantime my thoughts and positive vibes are with you

Frozen for generous single servings

German Potatoes minus the onion cook in lard. Was going to make Curry Ketchup but stuck with regular turning them into French Fries or Chips. I cooked in a Cast Iron skillet using my cool Induction cooker making this a very healthy meal. Iron makes it all better. I was going to make the Cheeseburgers but ended up diving into the potatoes instead then passed out before Sunset. Woke up at 11:30PM yesterday been up since... so I'll cook the burgers tonight.

So I was sitting at home tonight and I thought to myself, I haven’t heard anyone say or as a matter of fact I haven’t said this in years. F U Funstick

Wow @blackwidow! Those are some crazy cool pics! This one looks like it was taken straight out of a 70s horror movie...

You can live without a stomach Seahorses and platypuses don't have stomachs either No stomach, no problem ^^

Found some good ones. Not mine of course but funny. Chuck Norris knows Victoria's Secret. Chuck Norris once made fire by rubbing two ice cubes. When Chuck Norris needs to relax, he joins the army. Chuck Norris once made Kirsten Stewart smile. Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at Burger King. And got one. Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants. Chuck Norris once urinated in a semi trucks gas tank for fun that truck is now known as Optimus Prime Chuck Norris killed 50 bad guys with 2 bullets. The first bullet was a warning shot. Jesus can walk on water, but only Chuck Norris can swim through land.

Very nice... you have god like blood in you. When Chuck Norris does pushups the Earth moves. When Chuck Norris speaks, even Hellen Keller listens. When God was creating the heavens and Earth, he consulted Chuck Norris first. When Chuck Norris dies he'll go heaven and tell Jesus how he did on Earth then take over for forgiving us of our sins. When Chuck Norris observes the Double Slit Theory experiment, all the partials disappear and hide. When Chuck Norris decided to attend a Ditty after hours party uninvited, Ditty left the country without saying goodbye. Chuck Norris's pronouns are, "God Like" "Master" "Queasy Lord" "Simi-Perfect" and he expects you to use them.

Brandon put a tater in his shorts at college to impress the girls. They ran from him. One dude took pity and explained "you have to put the potato in the front."
