Agree 100% about worrying about the hype. I think the Vikings were originally picked to win the Division, despite the Lions up and coming status. The Vikings performance against SF last weekend has me scared they're starting to get things back on track. The Lions still have the inside track in that Division, but I wouldn't wouldn't be surprised if the Division title doesn't come down to their head-to-head Divisional match-ups that aren't until Dec. 24th and Jan. 7th. There's alot of football left to be played, it should be fun to see what happens!

 

Where is there a picture of a pumpkin?

 

Post #50877

 

There is no pumpkin picture in that post.

 

There is on my Samsung tablet. Something must be going on with your computer or phone? This is the pic I'm seeing.

 

I see the image you posted (above). I also see NO image in Post #50877 on my iPhone.

 

Don't know what else to tell ya Norm, I can see that pic on both my Samsung tablet and Samsung phone in Post 50877.

 

A Halloween mystery!! I see no pic on post 50877 either. But I do see it on post 50886! Hmmmmm

 

Good morning guys,

Still warm today, overcast with chance of showers all day, but still supposed to get up to 78 today and 82 tomorrow, then the bottom drops out Saturday with a high of 50. It's supposed to rain on and off all weekend, with some heavier storms at times. Much to my surprise the organizer has already rescheduled the judged car show I wanted to go to this Sunday to the following Sunday, November 5th. I honestly didn't think they'd reschedule it this late in the season.

My wife has her annual physical tomorrow morning and that's really about all we have in the "to do" bin over the the next few days. Hope y'all have a great weekend!

 

I have a pinhole water line leak. Plumber coming tomorrow. I am changing plumbers as I no longer care for my previous one. I had a pinhole last year, and they used a copper crush sleeve with O rings. I specifically asked them to sweat copper this time. It's near a joint so it should go in ok. 43 year old copper line. If I keep getting leaks, I'll redo the house, but I don't really want to.

 

Good luck with the repair. I used to have a great plumber then he retired on me about 10-years ago. Luckily, the husband of the elderly couple down the street that my wife cleans for is an overall handyman. He was a Union electrician by trade, but he can tackle just about anything. Really nice guy. He won't do the work, but he'll come over and walk me through whatever I'm trying to do, no after how long it takes, and if I need any type of specialty tool he always has it.

 

It's a ghost pumpkin? Why Chris can see it but no one else is beyond me. Maybe he has espn.

 

Dan - I could see the pic from the get go, and can still see it in your post. The one oddity for me, was when I went to download the pic so I could show Norm, it wouldn't download. It did however allow me to share it to my email, which I sent to myself, and when I opened the file in my email it then allowed me to save the pic and load to CO. Pretty weird!

By the way, I do have "espn", but the Pumpkins weren't playing that day, so I didn't get the pic from there!

 

Dan - I'm not going back in history to review images you may have uploaded in order for me to evaluate my hunch but let me ask you this:

(1) Was the original pumpkin image captured on your phone or a different device?
(2) When you posted the image, did you post the image from a phone or from a desktop, laptop, notepad, etc.?
(3) Having identified what device you captured the original image & having identified the device you posted the image from (i.e. phone, desktop, laptop, notepad, etc.) - what Browser did you use to upload the image i.e. Firefox (Mozilla), Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari, Samsung Internet (S Browser)?
(4) Would you happen to know the image extension of the image you uploaded i.e. .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, etc.?

Thanks,

 

Dan - I just thought of something. In the past, IIRC, I believe you've often posted a URL link to images/pictures you've taken. IOW, you post images/pictures to another (different) site and provide the URL link to the site where the images are located.

Any chance when you posted the pumpkin image, rather than actually posting the image itself, you may have instead provided the URL link where the actual image resides?

 

Normally i use my camera, but this was my phone downloaded to Google Photos. It would not let me copy and paste from Google Photos so, I sent it to myself via email on my desktop, and then did a copy and paste from there. Convoluted enough for ya? Sorry, though.

 

Kzoo river @ new Richmond.

Old Allegan Rd. New Richmond.

About a dozen miles east of me. Muskegon.



Sandhill Cranes not co operating with me. About fifty of them, but they landed out of range.

 

No big deal. I'm not intending to spend inordinate amounts of time attempting to understand. I suspected some form of convolution. You didn't mention they type of Browser you used (if you know it) or the type of file extension (if you know it). Notice one commonality. You could not copy/paste - Chris could not copy/paste. You both send the original via e-mail. Again, no biggie. I suspect w/ >60% confidence it involves javascript attributes.

I love sandhill cranes. Fantastic birds. Nice fall colors.

 

And the plot thickens . . . I can no longer see the pic in Dan's original post #50877. Now I think he's just F'ing with us!

 

Actually, the plot has not thickened for me. I suspected at some point you would not be able to view the original image. I believed last night & it's almost confirmed the CO site mishandled a malformed javascript attribute contained w/in the image. Not 100% though.

 

Dan - Nice pics with pretty Fall colors. I took this pic yesterday on the back road into our place. I'm very surprised we already seem to have as much color as you guys?

 

 

I had the utmost faith you would figure out what was going on!

 

Gotta love it . . . I'm laughing my **** off!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

 

Linus' sister said she was going to pound him...I think Linus should pound his own sister. I'll see myself out...

 

Oh the Horror. 😈

 

I don't know what's going on...narrowing down my suspicions is all.

 

If they are from Arkansas that's what they do on Halloween... Pump Kin

 

 

Now I see where this all started. I remember Norm having spent alot of time in Arkansas!

 

Chris that does surprise me a bit, but it does depend on what weather you've had temperature wise, as a good chill tends to facilitate the color change. Norm, don't, I took a pic with my cellphone of a pumpkin that's it.. As everybody saw it, I will not attempt to move it to my windows/pictures to download.

 

Ya, I agree with that, but we have not even had a frost here yet. I have also read that dryness/ground moisture can play a significant role on when they start to change, the drier it is the earlier they start to change. We have had an extremely hot and dry summer, it could be due to that?

 

Leaves change color for one very simple reason - photoperiod. Temperature & moisture content plays a role in color intensity. But, the "key" to color change is based solely on one premise - photoperiod.

 

Right now it's still 73° at 10pm, with a low of around 67° at 7am. Talk about going from the frying pan into the freezer. Check out our forecasted highs/lows for this coming Monday thru Wednesday. Ouch, better break out the long johns!
MON 10/30 - 45°/24°
TUE 10/31 - 45°/22°
WED 11/1 - 47°/27°

 

Deliverance was both set and filmed in Georgia.

 

Correct, Ali G. Nick Sabin hangs out there as I mentioned previously.

 

I knew that, although there is many a river and place in Arkansas, that's just like it.

 

Here is a popular tv show when 10 americans come to our country to find their roots. I remember an american relative
was visiting us in the 60 ties , she was from Fertile , Minnesota. I should read some old letters , would be nice to se if
somebody relative to her lives there yet.


Hope everybody have a nice weekend

 

James Dickey [ 20 years my senior] went to the same high school i attended and wrote a poem about returning home looking for ole friends. BTW Deliverance was filmed on the Chattooga river but the story was actually about damming up the Chattahoochee river to make Lake Lanier
