    • Hey, all you new folks (and old ones too)

      The volunteers that built and maintain this place bust their asses in whatever free time they have to provide this wonderful community. The @Curators are an awesome team.

      Before I say what I’m going to say, I think the bills are being covered for now.

      They who maintain this place don’t hit us with the hard sell but running this place ain’t free. I’m just a low post count denizen of this place but I pony up some bucks because I think it’s worth it. Nobody is obligated to donate. But if you like this place, hit the donate button and help support the community if you’re able.

      Think of the crap you’re paying monthly subscriptions for. Does this place provide more interaction and entertainment? If so, donate something. Hell, donate one of your daily fancy Starbucks coffees.

      I understand we’ve got some new youngsters (under 18) that have joined up. Those in that group can ignore this message. Please don’t grab mom or dad’s credit card without permission.

      This message is brought to you by user @ike808 and is not endorsed by the @Curators.

      And @Curators, if I’m out of line feel free to whack this post.

    • Chillin’ with the new pupper

      Put in a 100+ hour work week. Off for Presidents’ Day but still put in a few hours today.

      Wife, tunes, fire and pupper. Picked up a rescue Blue Heeler.

    • A couple more pupper pics and a question

      Posted a couple pics of the new pupper a couple days ago. Yes, he is a cutie. This little guy is a rescue labeled as a blue heeler mix. Can’t see any mix looking at him. Nor do I see any mix in his behavior. Follows us around, gets the zoomies and curious as hell. He sleeps a lot but he’s a pup so…

      We’re treating and training him as if he was a blue heeler. He even has the Bentley star on his head and a black spot at the base of his tail. Just curious what the blue heeler owners here think.

      I know the mother was a heeler but don’t know about the dad. Guess that’s why he’s listed as a mix.

    • Merry New Year! Again

      I posted a couple bullshit posts yesterday/this morning. That’s me - I don’t like to take life very seriously.

      I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy New Year. I really hope this year is better than the last 2. It worked out okay for my wife and me but not so much for many others.

      After reading and commenting in the @Curators post I wanted to say that you all (all, not just the Curators) make this a great place.

      I was able to reconnect with family and friends that I hadn’t talked to in decades this past year. I hope all of you have, or can do, the same.

      I hope everyone has an awesome 2022!

    • I, for one, miss @His_Stigness

      I don’t agree with a lot of the Oppos but I just let it go. Life’s too short for petty internet squabbles. We all have our opinions and not everyone will agree with them. Be a grownup and quit dog-piling everyone you don’t agree with.

      I think many keyboard commandos would be more polite in person. Or they’d be missing some teeth.

      I’ll miss @His_Stigness insights into EV and Blue Heeler ownership.

      Ozzy is sad

      Ozzy is at least a tie for best doggo we’ve had. Pics are always a little blurry because the little shit won’t stay still!

      @His_Stigness and others (can’t remember who) with Blue Heelers. Since ours was a rescue we decided to get a DNA test on Ozzy.

      48% Australian Cattle Dog
      33% American Pit Bull Terrier
      Remainder German Shepherd

      Looks and acts like a Blue Heeler. Training him like a Blue Heeler.

      Smartest dog we’ve ever had.

      A tired dog is a happy dog:

    • The lone Oahu Opponaut has left the island

      As of yesterday, my wife and I are now denizens of the Valley of the Sun (and golfers and old retired folk). No, we aren’t retired but we are now in Chandler, AZ for the foreseeable future.

      Now where’s the Oppomap?

      Might as well make this an AMA - ask away.

      @CB I’ll take the horse-sized duck. I’ve never ridden a duck.

      @DipodomysDeserti I can’t remember - you in the valley or down in Tucson? And can we come along when you visit Kauai? I can get you a cheap flight.

    • Family Comes to Oahu

      Saturday night drunk posting.

      I think my wife or mom have the best pics. So, you get what I took. I was born here on Oahu at Tripler. My mom didn’t think she’d ever get back here but COVID got me laid off in PA and I took a flyer on a job app in Hawaii. So, here we are and my mom has been getting to check off a big chunk of her bucket list. Went to the Cemetery of the Pacific today.

      Other pics from my mom and grandson’s summer trip. Little shit ran up Diamond Head.

      @ike808 im that episode, they just grabbed a live octopus out of a tank and sliced its head off. I couldnl't watch after that. It was horrendous.

      Must’ve been a different episode. These were small octopi - they grabbed them just below the head with chop sticks and stuffed them in their mouths head first! I don’t want to eat something that is actively attempting to escape my mouth.

      Not sure how they dealt with the beak.

      This is the only photo in the ad but it looks relatively straight and interior appears there.
      Rust unknown.

      $200? That’s pretty much F-you money. Used to see these running around everywhere considering I grew up within a few miles of the plant in SW PA. I really saw these as the spiritual successor to the beetle. I think that’s what VW was going for with these. I still love the pickups. Haven’t seen either in years.

      @Roadkilled Having seen the episode of Iron Chef where they prepare octopus, I'm going to say yes.

      I can’t remember the name of the show but it had a couple American travelers and one episode they were trying live octopus in Korea (I think). One guy tried it, the other said no way.

      I love octopus prepared in any number of ways. Grabbing my face and actively trying to escape my mouth is not one of them.

      I love that you’ve just jumped into this and you’re dragging us along with you. I’ve learned a ton over the years just by doing things.
