''Post A Picture of Anything'' Thread

Today, after the rain left and the cool front brot out mostly clear skies, I took a 7-mile exercise bike ride down to South Beach then circled back. Biking back, heading into the north wind was kind of nice and extra workout without sweating too much.

While in the park I saw the Pink Miami Beach Police car parked on the grass. Lots of tourists were getting pix with this novelty, so I joined in. I already have a couple of pix of this display car that is usually in the Gay Pride parade or parked at other gay events on The Beach.

 

no, this is me..

 

and a log

 

In honor of the holiday let it be known: it's 420 North and South!

 

I think I like this. A lot. I also have seen a pink leopard print.

I got the pink purrfection leopard print.

 

Something different at the ballpark? New Britain Stadium now has a carousel and a rock climbing wall in the corner near right field. Man, won't that be fun as soon as a foul ball goes screaming by in THAT direction! :yikes:

 

Enduring Machines
April 22, 2016

Last nite, as I have done monthly for the past 20 years, I stood naked in the bathroom, newspaper covering the sink and trimmed my beard and hair with my Wahl Hair Clipper. I remember the year I bought the clipper, 1996 when we had moved back to Miami Beach from Gainesville Florida.



While in Gainesville, a university town, I found a hair cutting place that catered to students that gave $5 haircuts. Progressing male-pattern baldness made mine an uncomplicated buzz cut that took about 10 minutes. I trimmed my beard with a comb and scissors.

Then we moved back to Miami Beach and I found the haircuts would be $11, clearly twice what they were worth for me since I only had half a head of hair. So, I purchased my Wahl Hair Clipper from the neighborhood Woolworth store on Collins Ave and started cutting my own hair & beard, by running it over my head & beard using the larger of the two combs until no more hair was being cut. I think it cost me $16 and was the best investment in a machine as it saved me at least $3K over the past 20 years.

However, over the past few years, each time I started cutting my hair the reality struck me, "what if my clipper failed half-way thru the cutting?" But, like a champ, last night my Wahl Clipper finished the job before making a clicking noise inside and throwing the ground-fault breaker. I plan to do a post-mortem on the machine; go inside and see if something wiggled loose that can be tightened but the fact is I will now go shopping for a replacement.



Already looked online and Wahl Clippers are still available from $25 to $45. I also checked the current price for a haircut, which is $10 to $25 so I know it will be an investment in a machine that will soon pay for itself.

 

Ive been cutting my own hair since I was 18. once they break usually not much you can do, probably a plastic thing looks like the letter H, shimmies back and forth. I throw mine away after a while, hanging out in the bathroom gets rusty..

 

Hey, maybe you need one of these dolls to combat that doll, eh? Even though ken does not look haunted, does not make him not haunted......lol

I fell for a scam gimmick like the photo of your haunted doll there...only the doll I bought was cute and not scary looking....yeah, i was a sucker...doll just sat there, and now she is in the shed with the mice......

People have all kinds of gimmicks.

 

North Korea Earth Day winners 46years in row.. I lold at this.

 

Well, my 16 mile exercise trip today was going to Best Buy and back to get my replacement Wahl Clipper.

It only cost $27, about ten more than the one I bought 20 years ago. It is heavier than the old one but the combs are standard.



But, it had a whole box full of peripheral stuff that I will never use.



If it lasts 20 years it will likely outlast me.
