Yep.
You don't have to worry about derailment once the train's in the creek at the bottom of the ravine.

upside down

and on fire

with the bridge collapsed on top of it

A good thunderstorm blew through yesterday. The Neighbo(u)rs shed got the worst of it.

Wow now that was a windstorm to damage a metal shed like that.

It looks like the roof of the metal shed we used to have in our backyard, after our two kids (7 and 9 years old @ the time) and a neighbour kid decided to try their luck at skiing off the roof of our bungalow and down the shed roof...which they regarded as the 'lower' slope. The shed was directly under the roof of our bungalow and it had been a very heavy snow that year.

Anyways, I happened to be out around the shed the next day and was dumfounded as to why the shed roof was completely collapsed.

My wife and I wondered what happened...one of our theories was maybe a chunk of 'frozen ice'

had fallen from an airliner...but no sign of that. Hmmmmnnn.

We noticed our kids were uncharacteristically quiet...so after some discussion of they knew what happened....they came out with it. They were skiing and were surprised when the shed roof collapsed.

Well things happen in life and that spring they helped us build a new, stronger wooden shed.

My two prize motorcycles were in that shed...the Matchless Scrambler and the Yamaha big single. No damage.

For the duration of the winter we covered the crushed shed roof with a tarp and all was well.

No chemo for Bob.
Found out today that my cancer was caused by gene mutations, not smoking. I'll be taking one pill a day, at home, instead of 3 hour chemo treatments every 3 weeks at the clinic.
The medication is called Tagrisso and of course has a long list of possible nasty side effects.

No, kid is Pink's son, "Little" Pink.

Here's Floyd:

(Thanks to Wikipedia)

Neither Pink nor Floyd had any connection to the band other than their names and the fact that they were blues men which inspired Syd Barrett to rename the band "The Pink Floyd Sound" from which it contracted to "Pink Floyd Sound" and later yet to just "Pink Floyd". Pink Floyd was formed by some of the former members of the band called "Tea Set" and briefly played under the "Tea Set" name themselves, but then they encountered another band called "Tea Set" at one of their gigs and they figured it made sense to change their name so as to avoid confusion.

Wishing you the best treatment experience, and the best outcome Bob.

Hang in there, be strong, and be well.

That's good news, Bob. Well, other than the side effects. The good news is that the side effects of that are probably less than that of the chemo.

Sounds like real clever stuff Bob.

I have a t-shirt with that on it. Those who are clueless always ask, "Why is your fish named Floyd?"

Aha. Should have been a pink pig rather than a fish!
