Good to hear that everyone was okay. That happens a lot. Nobody hit you so automatically you have to be an idiot. Swerve to miss someone/thing?

Diesel on the road kicked the back out and sent me spinning into a field.

You don't have to be afraid of driving. You just have to deal with the consequences of driving. I've even got my advanced drivers certificate, but you can never plan ahead for shit like that.

They grow up so fast! My grandson, age 3.5
Dane between his mother on left and his GREAT-Grandmother (my mother) on right at my mother's 75th birthday.
Yes, chips and salsa on the table. What else? Mexican food, and what great food it is! SLURP!

Aw, he's a cutie, HP! Thanks for sharing! Must say though, I'm real glad my daughter's already up in bed. I think we'd have a Gnet babybats crush made if she saw him!

Aw thanks! He does like girls; at the restaurant we were at in the last photo, there were a couple of young ladies in a nearby booth and he went right up to them and started talking to them! He does that every where in public, an outgoing kid! He's a smoothie!

Aw
My daughter's pretty outgoing too, and even precocious at times!
Some of the things she says should not be coming out of a six year old's mouth!

OK, so now that the Gnet women folk had their sugar, time for the guys to get some toys: Humane's garage! I inherited quite a few tools, books and whatnot from my late father and had to make two trips to bring down all the stuff, and still need to make one more trip. Yes, my father was a hoarder, but since he hoarded tools, well, I can imagine some of the guys saying, "you lucky bastard!". (To be sure, I miss my father terribly, he was a great dad, but I am still glad he left me a ton of tools!)
The grand view of the Atlas metal lathe and some of the other tools mounted on pegboard:
closeup of the business end of the lathe:
My older vacuum tube oscilloscopes (except for the Bell&Howell 2nd from left) :
and the best one: the Tektronix 400 MHz dual channel:
Next Spring I go back for the Shopmaster. I will have to rent a trailer to bring it home and hire some day laborers to get it on and off the trailer and into the garage. Mrs. Humane is rolling her eyes already.
I love my life!

Sweet lathe HP. What do you use the oscilloscopes for?
Sometimes I feel like I was born the wrong sex - maybe it was because my dad had four daughters, that I ended up being the petrol head girl who likes working on cars, and playing with tools in the shed. My father had a 1918 wood lathe (it was beautiful), that used to shake the entire shed when it started up. I used to love sitting on a stool in his shed watching him turn the parts for his model boats.

I am sure you already know that you may disregard whatever sex you were born to enjoy mechanical things and tools. Look at all the women during World War II who built and flew planes, bombs, tanks etc. Besides, shops need more women, makes the work shop environment titillating!
I use the scopes to troubleshoot other vacuum tube equipment. I enjoy restoring other scopes, radios, reel to reel tape recorders whatever runs on tubes!

Holy crap, HP.. I remember when he was BORN. He's gotten so big!!!
Shop class was one of my favorite classes in middle school, but I got kicked out for correcting the instructor. He didn't know what he was talking about, to the extent of things being unsafe

I didn't know you're a dyke with bad taste. Explains a lot.

Oh.. you're quite the witty one, Catch.
At least come up with something original. I know Ophelia doles out some killer burns, but really?

Sorry, maybe I'll just hag on you for a few weeks. Apparently quantity out weighs quality.
