Perfect day for a ride along the St. Johns River.

One of these days I need to take my real camera with me.

Ruthie hung this new shower curtain last night without telling me.

Imagine a late night latrine run and encountering this in the glow of a Spongebob night light with my brain being in "energy saving" mode.

Another beautiful morning. I love waking up.

Well, it certainly beats the alternative

We have one of those out here today, too. And the weather office is predicting 93º on Sunday and Monday We just don't get temps. like that out here in near-coastal British Columbia until August. But I guess we will now.

Pic from a local park showing Koinobori, or climbing carp, a symbol for aspiring for the future success of children, flown on Japan's Children's Day, 5 May, and usually left up for a while.

For those that frequent the kitchen and have a fondness for cast iron cookware, here is a rarely seen sight - a clean cast iron pan bottom. I got tired of dealing with many decades of cooked on scale. So much scale that it was difficult to read GRISWOLD, so I took it into the basement and media blasted it. (Golddollar, this is the one I mentioned to you in Gettysburg a month or so ago.) It has been used several times since the cleaning and is developing a nice cure again....

Another beautiful day full of soo much to be grateful for.

A subtle (?) hint in the Gents' bathroom at the local pub

(Hopefully not treading on the borders of any "infractible" images here.)

"We aim to keep this bathroom clean. Your aim will help."

The other one I've seen is "We aim to please. You aim too, please."

 

[oldbrownhat]

... So much scale that it was difficult to read GRISWOLD..

Whoa! Nice cleanup job!

The only item I've seen that name on has been antique tobacco cutters.

The Schiphol Fly.

Meet the Schiphol fly, which is a fly engraved on urinals at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. The psychology is that men will want to "wash" the fly off the urinal so they focus more when urinating, apparently lowering cleaning bills in public bathrooms..

The Schiphol Fly.

Color me gobsmacked. Who'da thunk it? If you'd just told about this without a link, I'd have thought you were just taking the ****, as it were.

I've heard of a "fly on the wall", but never a fly on the wall of a urinal.


I sent this and the pic I took to a musician friend who's going on tour to Finland next month. His reply: "...fabulous to know, since I'll be stuck at that very airport heading to/from Helsinki!" I reminded him, "Pics or it didn't happen"

Yat another pic of "Chariie-of-epic-whiskers", luxuriating in the foliage of my gf's garden.

For the hard-core photographers on the Forum, my gf tells me this was originally shot with her Nikon DSLR under low light, which resulted in some graininess, but she was able to remove it in Affinity Photo (which she now uses in place of Photo$$$hop) with a filter extension from "Topaz" which she was able to get years ago for very low cost. Apparently the Topaz filters are now really expensive, but work incredibly well.

Sign in a local shooting range BR...

Please aim better here than on the range....

The Schiphol Fly.

From the link:
"It turns out that men, in their urinal behaviour, cannot resist peeing on things".
Yeah well gee... some of us are making a political statement.
