    Sounds similar to the woodpecker's brain. Would be like us headbutting ice blocks every day to make ice cubes without any adverse effects.

    The marvels of Earth are astounding, from earthworms to predators of the sky and everything in between.

    In no way can we be alone in the infinite that exists beyond our own atmosphere

    At a conference I was talking to a fellow exhibitor he showed me a product, I bought right then and there. WebMI glasses with cameras. I can have an experienced technician stay in the office and watch and facilitate a lesser experienced tech do the job.

    I coach a travel team for girls VB( as some of you know) and we have played 4 local tournaments this year culminating yesterday at a 18s tournament (a year above them). Well I can officially say we are 4 for 4 winning Gold. These girls are savages. I am so proud of them. [​IMG]

    My daughter's hs has about 1500 students. Medium sized school with an old school basketball double decker gym. They have a freshman and sophomore that are both top 50 national recruits. Old school gym plus those two slamming down jams=craziness. They play for a state championship today. I told my daughter to soak it all in bc the chances of two elite hs players on one hs team anywhere in the US is a very rare thing. Especially at a public school. So cool!

    On the way to the vets I had 2 pugs run out in front of me on a back road . Both my dogs were harnessed in as I slammed on the breaks missing them.
    On the way home a tight group of 5 deer jumped out in front of me . I barely had time to break and from the expressions on their faces, they knew as much. I missed all, but the last ones tail literally slapped my front drivers corner. The dogs went nuts in the back seat.

    Ski boat took it to an apolstry shop last fall got a quote for big $ and long lead time, I got to shopping found a guy on e-bay, simple cushion great price. The boat is made to pull people not a cruiser or a deck boat, professional tow boat. The passenger seat faces back. tempImageX4sDwe.png tempImage2j32bP.png

    You don't ride on the back seat unless you up next to ski or injured.

    So I mentioned my birthday is coming up April first. I asked for a electric mini saw 6".
    Hubby went out this afternoon and bought me a 2025 Telluride, fully loaded.
    Happy camper.

    Saw instant karma today on veterans memorial hwy going north out of Tampa this evening. Clown in a red souped up sedan driving aggressive, watched him road rage with a truck with a trailer behind me, I moved over and let the a-hole blow by thought that fool is going to cause a wreck. Sure enough not 10 miles down the road I see dirt flying, I was 30 seconds behind the wreck. Guy hit the cable barrier and rolled front to back ended up upside down on the cables. I slowed down did not stop others were and no way in hell am I stopping on a freeway even on a shoulder.

    If you stop for a highway crash, you become a part of the crash.

    Stop short or drive by, the latter is preferred.
