  1. Some smart person with experience in Photoshop might be able to make a seamlessly tiling version. I have no idea who that could be, though...
  2. Most woven fabrics let sound through pretty well. It's things like leather and vinyl that might cause problems. A piece of furniture like that would most likely have used commercial/contract fabrics which tend to wear better and are generally more fire resistant, etc.
  3. That Flickr account was killed off many years ago. I still have the photos, though. I can re-post a few later...
  4. While I am all for breakfast at any time of the day I cannot in good conscience support an establishment that does not serve real maple syrup. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
  5. There is a service where you prepay money ($75) to an account, they send you a windshield sticker and you basically just cruise through the toll both area without dealing with credit card/paying nonsense. You get a discount on the toll too. Not really worth it if you don't go regularly but definitely worth it if you do. https://nexpress.dwtunnel.com Also, nice to see you. πŸ™‚
  6. 1 and 5 what? The images in the slideshow? You do realize that if you go to the portfolio link there’s a whole bunch more work? πŸ€”
  7. Tired and sore. But the good kind. A great weekend.
  8. There's a lot more awful people out there than just a few rich people and CEOs. Let's split the difference between everyone and just some rich peeps.
  9. The "beep beep beep" of tractors backing up. The city is replacing broken segments of sidewalk in my neighborhood. Lots of tractor activity...
  10. I was opening a canister of ready-to-bake biscuits. I took the paper wrapper off and then the next layer. I set it down (On end) on the counter for a second to throw out the paper when it popped and jumped into the air a few inches. I have never seen it do that spontaneously before and it made me laugh out loud. πŸ˜‚

    I just want to drive fast and not feel too pressured to win or be fast (Though I am perfectly capable of both.). And laugh.
  12. That's because she has excellent taste, like me.

    Sorry, Not the fruit. πŸ˜‚πŸ‹πŸš« This post is about LeMons, the endurance racing series for (supposedly) $500 cars. The name is a parody of the 24 Heures du Le Mans, the French 24 hour race that celebrated it's 100th anniversary this year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Hours_of_Lemons https://24hoursoflemons.com Why am I posting about this? Because tomorrow I leave for the weekend to go racing (driver) as part of a team running an event at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Indiana. A few of you know I used to race as a hobby. In the days before kids, divorce, financial troubles, etc... This is the first time doing wheel to wheel racing in 20+ years. Should be both fun and funny, since part of the LeMons series is a lot of humor. It's kinda like racing and cosplay at a comedy club. πŸ™ƒπŸ˜‹πŸ€‘ To help understand the spirit of LeMons racing, watch a few of their race wrap-up videos. https://www.youtube.com/@24hoursoflemons/videos Better yet, read this article on some of the best (ie. most notorious) cars ever to run a LeMons race. If you don't feel like reading just look at the photos: https://24hoursoflemons.com/blog/greatest-lemons-cars-all-time/ And this is a good video on driving the specific track I'll be driving: You may now return to your regularly scheduled gothing...
