  1. No worries at all. Whomever made this video could have just transitioned to black and white. Remember about 20 years ago when NFL Sunday’s football clips looked to have aged 20 years overnight for the replays the next day. Thankfully that has improved.
  2. With tomorrow being Remembrance Day in Canada I want to thank all of the veterans here who have served, no matter their country. I snapped this photo the other day of our local World War One Memorial, a hamlet of less than 300 people today. The sun set a perfect shadow. Those that are gone are not forgotten and will always be honoured.
  3. 47 years ago tonight the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank near WhiteFish Bay with her crew of 29. At approximately 7:10 p.m., when Arthur M. Anderson notified Edmund Fitzgerald of an upbound ship and asked how she was doing, McSorley reported, "We are holding our own." She was never heard from again. No distress signal was received, and ten minutes later, Arthur M. Anderson lost the ability either to reach Edmund Fitzgerald by radio or to detect her on radar. She and her crew were immortalized in a folk classic song by Gordon Lightfoot, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
  4. On normal sailings they are allowed. I have a Pinnacle friend on this sailing and she said there were 212 on this cruise. If they were in the suite lounge where would the suites guests go. From what she said the Bistro and Boleros have been great options for a Pinnacle heavy cruise.
  5. Welcome back home. Thankfully the gentleman came through amazingly. Sounds like you had @Sea Dog2.0 on the flight with you.
  6. Some will probably take the $5 from their auto tips funds. At least the butter would still be warm. 😉🤢
  7. This made me laugh out loud. I know my mom wished she hadn’t waited until she was 80. She thinks that had she done it sooner she would have recovered easier from the hip replacement.
  8. Clarksons Farm is exactly what I expected when he was getting into farming. Very funny indeed. As for the straight lines here, they have become laser straight now thanks to auto-steer.
  9. Safe travels home to you both. Thanks for bringing us along.
  10. For those interested in sea heights this is today’s information.
  11. Some photos from today. Our neighbor started their corn harvest. The combine is stopped waiting for the tractor and grain buggy to catch up. It was busy loading the transport. Lucy hung out whIle I BBQed some pork chops. and that was dinner tonight. They were about 10oz and delicious.
  12. Please try not to worry. My mom had her’s done in 2020 at 79 and my MIL the same year at 72. They each had both of them done on the the same day. My mom recovered quicker, 3 days almost back to full normal and my MIL took closer to a week. They both would have used for mother’s description. Glad to hear your ankle is feeling better.
  13. Great photos. I noticed the IG account has the same name as your user name on CC. I followed to see them quicker. Very interesting to how they did the lift.
  14. Yes, to all of this. On a side note, I guess that’s there are so many drug stores in ports of call, especially Mexico. 😉😁
  15. That is a big gaff on my part. I have not been a frequent follower of this thread. Had I seen the photo you just posted I would not had made my comment earlier. I was looking only which Lloyd shared, to which showed a frame structure being lowered by a crane. To me, it appeared to have no glass in it. That being said, the image you just shared with me clearly will be lowered onto the ship at some point, with the glass intact. As I said before, it was my mistake. I guess I should follow this thread more closely as she is getting closer to completion.
  16. I cruise for the joy of it, not to count the dollars spent on an end goal.
  17. From looking at the photo I don’t think the glass is inserted/installed in the structure.
  18. A few photos from my new iPhone. A beautiful day today. Lucy was ready to pose. Our Japanese maple. And a couple by the pool. The plants have yet to be trimmed back.
