Somehow I can picture you dressed as the Queen of Hearts screaming 'OFF WITH THEIR HEADS'..........

She could totally pull of the Queen of Hearts, but I don't picture her screaming. I see her more calmly saying "look I need more heads, so off with them".

Be a whole lot prettier with periscope reticules over it...

The reticules go over the enemy warships. That pretty one is ours.

So, I appear to have scratched my eye worse than I thought last night. A call into work and a call to the optometrist is the new schedule for the day. At least it doesn't hurt. 

 

The eye doctor said it was just irritated. Gave me some artificial tears and recommended some allergy drops if it keeps itching. Swelling has gone down, still a bit red and just feels irritated. I have the next 2 days off so can rest as much as needed.

To be fair, I have spent more time putting the reticules over US ships than I have foreign ones.  Shot more torpedoes at US ships too for that matter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exercise torpedoes are still torpedoes; they just don't make the BOOM!  They do occasionally make with the SMASH!!!

I finally found my bits box. The butchering can commence.  It's a shame Reapercon isn't real this year. I need more heads. 

 

 

 

Funny, I was thinking the same about arms the other day.

Kayaks are not made for connubial caresses.

 

My first time in a kayak, a lot easier for a small person to control than a canoe, and the double ended paddles worked well for me. Faster, too, I think.

 

For connubial purposes, rowboats are best. They had some bright yellow jon boats at the camp for the retreat a few years ago, before BD. Slow, not graceful, but you could get silly in them.

 

'Getting silly'? Is that what you kids are calling it these days? :lol:

 

Bright yellow plastic jon boats, that wouldn't sink if you tried.

 

Yeah, I thought you'd like the kayak, I like the canoe better, but both glide through the water.

 

Rowboats feel more like work.

Don’t they have Nerf Warheads? :poke:  Or a some kinda deal that releases a big puddle of fluorescent dye into the water?


I always figured it was like Paintball with Propellers.

Can Monday be over already?  Lost a burner on the stove this evening. Easy enough to replace the element, if I could get the broccoli thing open.  Repair manual said nothing about screws.  DH had to get some fancy tools to get them out.  Manufacturer wants $178 for a 6" element.  :blink:  It's $69 from that popular shopping site.   Or I could just cope with only 3 burners.

And I had to call out to work tonight. When I was flipping the mattress, there was a constant stream of the finest profanities coming from me, and a lot of stops to pant and lock up in pain. And then I woke up in pain. I'm debating about if it's worth the cost to go to a hospital and get told "Yeah, that sucks" and not get the Good Stuff. :ph34r:

As a stove-less, oven-less person I can only sympathize. :mellow:

The only difference between an actual torpedo and an exercise one is the lack of a warhead, and the exercise one are painted orange (to aid in retrieval).
