Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

Bird Migration
You should see 'em up close. They line up and drive the fish toward shore, the fish panic, the the pelicans hammer 'em! When you see them pointing their beaks up to swallow, they're scoring! Cormorants sometimes get involved in the action too. -

Bird Migration
Water. We have 6 or 7 bird baths scattered around the property. I get the old concrete ones cheap at auctions. The birds appreciate them during dry stretches. Crow like to moisten their food in them sometimes. Bit of work to keep them filled. Also keep an old galvanized water trough that... -

Ever score on an insurance company?
I've found that they'll offer a competitive rate to get your biz, then generally steadily jack your rates up, even though you file no claims. 40% annuallized not unusual. I don't really blame them - if clients don't shop/leave, I'd blame the clients. As such, I switch insurers every 2-3... -

Ever score on an insurance company?
I once executed a reverse score. To save money, I dropped the comp/collision on the Mazda GLC I drove after graduating from ISU. Totaled it on a deer a week later. I can still in my mind's eye see that deer spinning through the air into the ditch. -

Clogged Toilet
Pro-tip: Rinsing the micro-fiber pad off a swifter - in the swirling toilet bowl - is a bad idea and may require taking toilet up off the floor to retrieve said pad. -

Check out the Hoover Boys on YT. Best metal detecting channel there is IMO. Bunch of friends in the Baltimore area who search colonial era fields for old home sites. They also hunt in tidal water near old colonial era wharfs. Crazy what they find... -

Friday OT - Weird Interests
I've enjoyed metal detecting since I was in 6th grade. While in Ames in early 80s, in preparation for digging up steam tunnels on central campus, they salvaged/stripped off a large patch of the sod over the tunnels. I had a field day recovering old coins there. Also have dug/recovered lots of... -
