Americansaredecidedly biased against a "King George".
The one at the end of the 18th Century got enough bad press here to last for a few more centuries.
III and IV were subpar, V and VI restored the reputation of the name a bit.

It's like Star Wars or Star Trek franchise films!

There are posts that matter and there are posts just to post... just to have a lot of posts does not mean that the posts or you actually matter...

A ??myth?? we were told in first year engineering was that no-one had ever found a horse capable of delivering one horsepower for a minute.


Having long been a student of engineering of several disciplines, I can appreciate the myths that are perpetrated in the effort to explain such things.


But I find it hard to believe that there has never been a horse alive that couldn't exert all he or she could for a minute. Think of it. What did the pony express riders do for hours at a time?


Ran their horse as hard as it would go all the way from station to station.


All those stagecoaches that criss crossed continents, run ragged all the way


The legendary Clydesdales pulling wagons of beer.


And the lowly Shetland ponies hauling coal from mines in the Shetlands, Britain and the US.


Millions of horses, giving all they could, all the time.




That's a lot of horsepower.




I have had experience with horses. I am no horseman by any means, but I can handle them, groom them, break them and then saddle and ride them. I can guarantee that any horse with good training will do everything he or she can to give their all, a full horsepower, for as long as they are asked to by their handler.

Right now, every post seems to "matter" to Adam, or else he wouldn't be offering a K-1 to encourage participation, and if they "matter" to him, they "matter" to me. I guess I'm being a "Philistine" about this.
Well, in that case, any way I can help you to win a K1. I use one, it is pretty sweet.
But this a K3 thread!!! And why I will not buy one of those hociR livE contraptions.

This should be a ghost thread, just like that old K. body.

Ya, cause what's the point of having something really nice, if everybody has one?


If it is really nice, she is called Elanor.













She sold recently for more than a million bucks.


Not too many people have one either.






'Cause there is only one.

That is correct, most of mine are blabbering nonsense (in this thread at least).

I wonder if one could play bagpipes riding a horse, never tried that...

Last night's 76¢ steaks.
Found 'em in the short dated section.
They were excellent!





Had to over sharpen this cell shot, the bite was pretty blurry.



How do you keep your grill so shiny and clean Bob?


Oh, and those steaks look yummy.
