Holy Crap…

Ain’t familiar with the piece, was thinking it sounded kinda Zimmer-ish, and yeah, it was.

She played it to perfection.

This one is cool.
Never knew there were so many tall ships in Amsterdam
All the Best,

Isn’t that a yearly(?) festival where tall ships from many nationalities visit some port, sorta like some antique car shows?

A few decades ago they came to my city. Many people with their crafts would ride alongside. Was quite a sight and the crowds in the port, overwhelming.

That makes sense. Surprised at the number of older looking tall ships. Really nifty.

Can’t really grasp spending years aboard something smaller heading off to parts unknown.
In Scott’s hut in Antarctica, just down the path a bit from the American base at McMurdo,

There are still cans on the wall marked:
“Eatable Tallow Candles”
If it’s dark, ya’ burn ’em. If you’re hungry ’ya eat ’em.
Still a few dead seals stacked in the corner. Freeze dried by now.
They were made of tougher stuff than I.
The men - not the seals….

All the Best,
Jeff

A 5-year event (Sail Amsterdam ).

Ours was a more modest showing of 38 ships, and back in ’84.

Cast Iron pan restoration. They are using freaking laser beams to remove the rust. :smiley:

That was really cool to watch.

I almost yelled at the screen when he left all the laser-marks in/on the pan before just continuing on like nothing.

I restored a coupla cast-Fe pans (still using the small one for eggs practically every time I make ’em), and while they weren’t so far gone, you don’t just leave ’em like that.

Wire-brush to get off the main grunge. Steel wool to grind it away ’til shiny and smooth. Wipe down, wash, wash again, scour, rinse’n’repeat ’til it’s perfect. Then season it.

+1 for the ice-cold beer and nuts.

Alcohol-induced idiocy.

Wonder what kind of flashlight he used?

Damn, must use the alcohol as antifreeze…

He dead? I keep seeing comments he dead. Uh-oh.

No kidding. I read he was found dead at that same lake just recently. RIP.

edit…. Died November 27 2021 while filming a video for youtube.

Yeesh. Like that Choinese fella who used to hang off the edges of buildings for lulz. Had “sponsorships” so he could pay for his mum’s medical expenses or something.

Anyway, one day he just couldn’t hold his grip, couldn’t climb back up, and dropped off the side of a building. Didn’t go splat way down on the sidewalk, but like 5 stories below where he landed on a wider section of the building.

Only vague recall, can’t remember details…

There’s that dope who rides his hoverboard just inches away from the edges of building-roofs that we’ll one day read about, too.

Ah, here we go…

We’re polishing up the Darwin Award, just to be prepared.

Yep, we will be reading about him one day.

What could possibly go wrong when swimming under the ice while wearing hockey skates after drinking mass quantities of vodka?

I don’t typically watch these YouTube shorts, but as a big fan of GITD the title caught my attention. I also thought it was total BS.

I tried it myself using a flashlight. It works!
