You have a leak?

You have a leak?

His iron is tired.

Yes... and yes. Got the boiler to 85# on a cold squeeze, heard a funny sort of "whump" in the firebox, followed by Niagara Falls out the bottom of the fire box. Guess we're not running at the show on the 23rd...

Today, on the news there was a clip of Putin being asked what he thought about the Comey firing. Putin was dressed in a hockey outfit, pads, stick and all. Gary is wondering if it was just he ... or do others think that an interview of the president of Russia while dressed in hockey regalia is weird?

As compared to the shirtless Putin riding a horse? What about the scuba diving Putin? There's no shortage of staged photo ops with Putin.

Sorry for your loss, @limr

Mmmm, oily coffee bean goodness...

So, I haven't had time to really be around here lately. Things at work are good, but very, very, very busy. Next two weeks will likely be 60+ hour weeks, minimum. Not looking forward to that.

On top of that, we found out that we're expecting in November! Very excited, very nervous. The wife wants to post on FB, so I said we should do an announcement photo. We settled on the slightly overdone Converse sneaker shot, since we both like Converse (despite my wife being more of a Vans person).

I took about two dozen different shots for my wife to pick, and the one where Roxy photobombed took first prize. If she hadn't stuck her head in, we wouldn't have liked the photo. It was the personal touch that did it for us. (I am mad that I cropped Roxy's ears, but I was working with a 90mm equivalent focal length with a moving pup.) I've slapped on a transparent box at the bottom, added Baby [Last Name], and "Coming November 2017". Wife likes it, so I'm happy.

Congrats! Love the shot. I agree that Roxy saved the day

Thank you!

Aw, that's wonderful news! And Roxy's inspection of the new shoes makes the shot perfect - those little shoes aren't in the usual lineup, and she knows it. Perfection!

Wonderful news and a very nice image. Roxy was necessary to complete the 'Family' photo.

Don't make boilers like they used too.
