I would like to add that the two gents who rocked up in this were yellow 'Vette and NB runners old, and they seemed to be having An Fun Day Out.

Cat was sleeping in a sunbeam on a low bookcase near the window. I stood up from my desk and she, expecting pats, rolled over and then nearly fell off the bookcase. I one-handed dad-saved her, and now she's so deeply embarrassed she's slunk off under the bed.
Bought a mandolin and am unbelievably tempted to put a Grogu sticker on it.

Can’t stop thinking about what kind of motorcycle Conan O’Brien has. Surely a Yamaha?
While there is something Quite British about FOTU, it's a damned shame there isn't anything like it over here. Closest is like some sections of Radwood, but we really could use a version of the Quail that's called The Turkey: A Not-Motorsports Event

Tamara Keel@tamslick.bsky.social · 2w agoThe TR3 is a true roadster: an open car with only rudimentary weather protection.
