@ttyymmnn The E175 is my favorite new jet. The Alaska version has a nice 1st class and economy plus seats are nice and LONG. My only complaint is the front toilet is designed for midgets.

@ttyymmnn rgr that

I'll post what's probably my favorite wildlife photo, even taken with a smartphone despite my earlier protestations, but not eligible for the competition because time isn't actually a wheel.

Was just watching the latest Sailing Uma on YT. They're meandering up the west coast of Norway. They had a few seconds of the Aurora, too and it was beautiful. I'd like to see it for real before I die.

@whoistheleader mmmm........Honda.

@whoistheleader There are some cosmetic differences with the U.S. version of the Mercury Monterey, but it's got the same basic lines.

@ranwhenparked It's an impressive boat for sure, but I like to sometimes turn this ship around.

@taylor-martin thanks man, the stoke is at an all time high.

@tripper Super fun, really wish I had a few more days there but two was enough to hit every site pretty much. It's pretty tiny-one small town and the rest is very empty. Hotels and restaurants are pretty modest (but cheap!) and there's like two tiny grocery stores haha, but the seafood is very fresh and really yummy as a result. There's a ton of cool history albeit pretty dark, and the engineering that went into building the Moai is absolutely wild. And the whole place is absolutely beautiful. Think Hawaii if all of the geography was compressed into like 15x10 miles, plus the amazing statues...

@cb Goodnight.

@cb said in Photos from today with a fun fact:

Your float plane may have two paddles, one on each float. Thank you for reading this fun fact.

And you hope you never need them.

@highlander Been warm and rainy here. Still some snow on the trails, but I'm not optimistic about how long it will last

Can hope that Thursday's rain actually falls as snow in the mountains...

@dtg11 I'm getting kind of happy with the progress on my cigar lounge, photo taken strategically to avoid hole in wall where hearth is supposed to go.

I realized today that winter ended on Saturday so the title was wrong, my bad.

@bicyclebuck The thought has crossed my mind...

Must. Not. Modify. (mostly) Reliable. Daily.

@cb I still think that's a gorgeous car. An all time great but since the C9 Corvette will be front engined again not the last front engined Corvette. Unless it is. 🤔

@way2blu I seriously love how that car turned out with those tires and wheels. I take it you'll swap over the other wheels for autocross?

But yes, summers in the mountains here seems like a genuinely terrible idea. Full props for actually driving a rare-ish sports car in the snow, but don't be the one to block the roads lol. Conditions change fast enough I wouldn't even say 3-seasons are a good idea, but they're doable at least (but really get something severe snow rated like an allweather or AT if you don't run snow tires).

And thanks! Really happy with the photos-all phone camera too, for a change.

@s65 If you put a little face in the top square it would look like a 1950s robot

@rallydarkstrike said in Goodnight Oppo:

My area of Nova Scotia had a lot of German settlers, so I live 5 minutes from Lunenburg, and I know of an East and West Berlin, and a New Germany in terms of place names nearby 😛

What's the point of just re-using German names! Especially Berlin haha. I guess it wasn't a big deal back before WW2 when they named it.
Aus has a whole state called New South Wales. We don't have a Wales, and the state isn't South of it. It's just...the NEW South Wales.

@cb I gotta find a junkyard near me, even if I won't know what 80% of the cars are, they just look so damn cool. Phenomenal shots too!

@cb Im still a little mad at myself for not having driven around the city (where I live) for the monthly abandoned photo yet. Like dude, go for a drive.

@silentbutnotreallydeadly
Yet when I ask Skoda online, I'm directed to Skoda U.K., who say they don't know. Skoda in Czechia say it's up to Skoda U.K. who order what they want as Skoda U.K. are the distributors of Skodas in the U.K. and Skoda Czechia has no influence what cars are sold here. But I can order one from Czechia, etc...
I know I'm going for a Skoda Superb AGAIN next year but would of liked the Superb Scout as an option.
I'm not going petrol or all electric but petrol hybrid.
