Here's that maple sugar cinnamon bacon I promised.
(short OT photo talk)
I have a new laptop and it renders photos different than my old, mostly it seems to over saturate my jpegs.
Still working on trying to fine tune the color management settings.

Excuse? Who needs an excuse for something like that?! Just open it, will ya!

Mine's almost finished - I need to get me another one

No, I am not angry with anyone here, even old Nass...who may in fact be a decent guy, I did see signs of that in communications with him...though he will probably never be a big squirrel fan?

Read it.....maybe you can relate and maybe not? I can tell you it has been very good for me to reestablish connections with the live people around me. I am a "people person" and in the flesh works great for me and my personality...and big mouth. I also get a lot of stuff done that I wasn't getting done around here....with all that extra time. Mrs Rupert likes that!

Not saying I won't ever be back, I did just renew my membership as a Loyal Member...though that sounds kind of hypocritical for someone that is not here......but the cash won't hurt the site, will it?

It isn't easy admitting to yourself you have an addiction.....be it alcohol, drugs, tobacco, wild blonds, or fast cars.....none of which I have, at least not now at my age!

A couple of those would be almost welcome.....some damn fun times "back in the day"!

Anyhow, read it and know where old Rupert is at....out in the world in a crowded elevator...for the time being.

Best Regards!

Whoa! You mean you interact with the real world now?? That's plain scary! I would never do that...

(Well, not entirely true. I'm not very active on here these days, just dropping in to keep an eye on all y'alls most days. So behave!

Speaking of interacting with the real world I am doing some shooting on my property with a cute girl on Saturday. She will have her M1 Garand, SKS, and AK47, I will have my AR10, AR15, and AK47. Tannerite will be involved. Now I need to find a stump that needs evicted.

Cute girl with an M1. It doesn't get much better than that!

I agree!

Man, oh man. You do know how to prepare a slab of Schweinefleisch, Bob! <drool...>

I kind of like the over-saturation... Even the word has connotations of animal fats

If that's not an application for slow-motion video, I don't know what is!

You should have made them stay on-line longer!
I was having a blast with the one that called me.

The longer you keep them on line the more likely you are to give them that little bit of extra ID spoofing info they are looking for, completely by accident and inadvertently.
