Since Donnie likes deer and turkeys, I though I'd bring him some birthday entertainment.



My Dad was no3 of 7 boys, and there was a little gap between him and no4. So while they were still living around Mudgee and Bugaldie (Coonabarabran) they (the eldest 3) would visit their grandparents on the farm at Botobolar (10 miles N of Mudgee).

On the farm there was a turkey 🦃 that turkey would terrorise visitors, especially children sized visitors. Until my Uncle (no2) being one of those “fear nothing” type boys, was sick of that turkey and went for it. The turkey was circumspect around the 3 grandsons after that!

Me being a city boy, I’ve never been terrorised by a turkey.

We have 20 plus turkeys that like to come into our yard and :poop: on everything. So, I give them the Pavlov’s treatment with my .22 air 🔫. No damage but definitely gets their attention. They stay away for a week or so until they forget.
 
Good to hear!
Higher than Florida, lol...
My kid and her fiance live right over Puget Sound, they're ok.

Think about coming out for a visit, Roger :)
 
no bridge cover holes?...

That hadn't happened yet, he wanted pictures of it "stock" for his website, it was the first and only II for some time. I brought it back and he added the bridge cover.
 
I missed Badass Monday, and I don't have a Two for Tuesday, but I can do Two Badass Tuesday...

nope, AMXs have a 97" wheelbase, shorter than both the 57 TBird/Vette (102") or than the 98" of the 68.(and later) Vette....they are also lighter than V8 Vettes or (any) TBird....although muscular styling creates an optical illusion AMXs are tiny....

Interesting. I would have assumed the bumper to bumper distance to be less for the ‘67 vette than the ‘69 AMX.
 
Some here may recall that I’m a fan of the Scottish Band Biffy Clyro. While they aren’t well known here in the US, they’re pretty huge in Europe. Bassist James Johnston posted this Monday.

Very sad. But he’s apparently getting help for addiction and mental health issues. He won’t be making their upcoming planned tour, which included a rare US leg. I was looking to catch the L.A. show which was supposed to happen December 2, but was rescheduled to the Spring, supposedly over Visa issues.

They’re a nasty nuisance.

Dealing is excellent. Balance is needful. This is actually good news, always great to seek and then find your path... If you're here, there is still time. Light is where it's at, I hope he gets the work done and that life is better.
I'm on a similar page. It's taken me 64 years to get this far, and I've become a very bad deal for the trouble that's bothered me so these years. It's well time.
