I have to drive to Kearney on Saturday. Better roll up the new tonneau cover so the wind doesn't rip it off like the old one

I always thought tonneaus were hard shells. Do they make canvas ones? I put new Velcro strips on mine last fall.

Ooo. I can co-celebrate with some people on my birtbday.

For @wxman1 - It's Aviation Maintenance Technician Day (kinda sorta his wheelhouse)

And for @ImJustKCClone - National Savenger Hunt Day (again, somewhat similar)

Oh, I dunno...

It's been a long time since I've hunted savengers.

Hey, teaching online this summer!
I had a goal of a little family trip right before fall semester, so that's surely a go now. Nice!

All in all a wonderful celebration of my grandfather in-laws life. He was a tremendous person that loved and modeled what it is to live a full life. I can only dream to live up to his success personally and professionally. Extremely fittingly the final song of the service was Frank Sinatra's "I Did It My Way".

I'm sure you do.

I've always thought of them as canvas. I looked it up and it doesn't matter. Tonneau refers to the space in the vehicle, not the cover

So it’s not a bed, it’s a tonneau?

I really need to quit reading the off season BB threads with both the men's and women's teams doing well, we now have people going in the threads dissecting how many minutes each player is getting, along with the always popular our players never improve and the micro analysis of the new transfers that realistically no one has watched play.

But alas like a moth to a flame I click on them thinking I might actually learn something useful.

Don't worry. New uniform rumors will be coming out soon.

You can see here how it tore the canvas off the rear bracket. It also warped (or something) the rear bracket so it wouldn't latch on the driver's side.

As they should be. It is a diploma, not a comic book or a baseball card. This is a classic look:

I really hated that Marv Pomerantz's signature was on it, to say nothing of Hitler's twin.

Weird. I graduated one year before you and the board of regent's president and university president were both different. That's a lot of change in one year.

Meg Ryan shouting "Take me to tonneau or lose me forever!" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

So a convertible with the top down then had a tonneau? TIL.

When did Meg yell this?

Top Gun

Top Gun

I never have had that proposed to me.

I never have had that proposed to me.

I assume it was always a subtle gesture or simple look for you.
