Yeah, we could fill up a evening with Dino.

Might have to switch to burbon for the evening....

Oh the weekend is coming foks and weather looks good! Maybe a BarBQ? Thinking burgers & brats? Fresh corn and vegs? Sodas & beer and the new cafe above ground pool.

As for movies I'll offer up
"The Great Outdoors" The bald bear always tickles my funny bone.

"Second Hand Lions" The biplane flying inverted down the highway always puts me in a good mood.

What about whatching some EURO 2012 soccer games?? Anybody of you overseas interested?

BTW, BBQ is always a good option. Wheather is fine here at the moment.

Bloody typical! Barbecue day and it rains!
Of course this is the Left Coast and really it's a surprising day when it doesn't rain but still...
Grumble.

Yeah, we shoulda planned this for Friday, Beautiful sunny day here in Seattle. Oh well I'll have a brats and a corn on the cob. Then I'll grab a Rainier or a Hamms.

Happy Dad's day to all concerned!

Next weekend The McMurtrey Western series! Food fare = Steaks on the Barbie. Hot deep dish Apple & Cherry Pies Cowboy Coffee - BYOB.

Dead Man's Walk
Lonesome Dove
Streets of Laredo
Return to Lonesome Dove.

All about men who served in the old Texas Rangers.

In the next few weeks the complete first season of the Game of Thrones.

Well, I've missed all of those so far. What's the appropriate beverage? Mead, wine or 30 yo single malt?

Yep!

Have you noticed that lots of the usual suspects are strangely silent?

Well it has been quiet around here, too quiet. You think that Terri and the girls are in the back room painting D's toes again?

Mark, mate, I asked you not to let me fall asleep on the pool table again ! You know we can't trust those femme fatales !!

Cheers, D

Oh, my bad.

How do you think they got that pink, purple and mauve lozenge pattern on your big toes?

Photoshop, clear decal film and a litre of Solvaset, how else??

Well the world of women's fashion is finally recognizing WWI aviation. Here a significant other of an Aeroscale member has taken to adding Eduard 1/48 scale lozenge to her toenails.

Member Kitboy says; "Hello, Camouflage wear today is very fashionable. To give this a different dimension, my wife and I decided to do her nails differently (being not bad at painting I ussually am hooked for doing her nails), We covered it with Lozenge decals!..."


"...Took some time to get the on, and one has to be particular careful with the nail top coat. You can only touch the decal once, otherwise it gets destroyed. I wonder how long it will last..."

A selection of microbrews

Tea, coffee and soft drinks are available for those who prefer them.

At the bar, today's special:

Ahhh...it's 9P.M. here. After a very long and hot day full of hard work I'm having a beer while reading Aeroscale. It tastes so good... However uncle Jack D. is appointed for tomorrow. The radio plays the Hit List, current song is "The night of comet is approching" - remake of great, old hit.

I just wanted to say it is a nice evening afer a good day. I hope you can say the same.

The end to a wet weekend here. Over in my corner of the room. With hot coffee fresh bread and apple butter. The rain drizzles and the smell of clean pine replaces the smoke of the wildfires(some 60 miles distant). Planning my day job retirement means closing one chapter and writing the next. Still going to have to work for a few years and the govt is in so much trouble they are only giving me 40 of my pension. Which in total is 40 % of my current paycheck.

Planning my next "career" as it were, until 62? ". . .The Captain of a troop one day. Every neck snaps and men jump when I growl. The next day I'll be lucky of the man asks me to shoe a horse. . ."

You ever hear of Captain Ed Freeman? CMOH winner from the Vietnam war. Flew into a hot LZ 14 times wounded 4 during the efforts. He retrieved 29 men. In 1965 heros may have been flesh & blood, but were steely eyed soldiers who knew their duties. I guess its good politicians don't fight wars. We would get sold out there too.

Next movie. She wore a yellow ribbon.

Better brew up another pot o' coffee. My mortgage co expects me to keep working til I'm 83. A bleak prognosis for the next 25 years..... Ah, maybe you outta put some of the Irish rotgut into the coffee...

Irish in the coffee? We could do that!

That might be nice.

Ate at an Irish pub last night, had a Harp and a Ruben sandwich. Ahhhhh

Wow we really need to do a misummer night's part-ay. Way too quiet round here. Makes me wonder what the ladies are up to. They are way too quiet. Hmmm the game is afoot!

Sherlock Holmes festival! Anyone in?

Wow, I really miss Basil Rathbone. How's this new kid working out.

I'll bave a Bass.

Does anyone smell fingernail polish remover? Are the girls getting ready for Damian's next nightmare?

So long since I've been in for a snifter, fancy a drop of that 7-star Metaxa and a Souvalakia, mmmmm. Guns of Navarone on too, how appropriate, think I'll just sit and watch it. Got any Baklava for afters?

It has been a long time since I had a glass of Masi ....hope there is some chesse and crackers around , grapes would be nice as well ....
