They're not mine, they're my brother's. The cats are mine, but they won't let me take a picture of them. They duck their heads lol

Then take pictures of the ducks!

I LOVE this shot!

Pretty Liz and cute puppy!

-Southern accent-

Why thank you, ma'am! -tips hat-

CUTE DOGGIE! Looking good Liz! Love those glasses!

So today I went racing. It was $28 for eight minutes. We only got five because we were the worst drivers haha. I got in trouble because I was purposely crashing people that tried to cut in front of me and because I was speeding too much. It goes 45m per hour and man I experienced the most brutal crash in my life! I even cut my tongue because of the hit and I still got a headache. The mechanics all touched the sides of their head like "OMG! Someone is going to the hospital."

Thankfully none of us were badly injured.

I might go again next week . . .to crash into more people!

Thanks dude.

My brother runs the go-carts at the Incredible pizza near me...he would hate you XD

Woah! That looks fun!

Just went through some oldies. My eighteenth birthday.

Pic.

Pic.

Awww, you were cute even back then!

Both great shots of you, the second is my favorite! Thanks for sharing them

The links aren't working. Hmm.

What did you do?! XD

They worked for me, the first one had three great looking guys and three beautiful girls (you were on the Right as I looked at the picture, and with a girl in a black dress). The second one was a close-up of you and a beautiful girl.

They worked for me.

They worked for me at first, but now they ain't workin'

He changed the links, I bet!! XD

I know did. He was aware the links weren't working and didn't fix them XD

I don't blame him. Sometimes it's dangerous, being sexy and on the internet.

But it's a risk I take daily. CARPE DIEM.

I hate posting pics of myself, lol

As soon as my stepmother uploads the pics from the bachelorette party, I'm spamming this thread XD

Im scared and excited at the same time

Thanks!!!

You already know . . .

With technology these days and the internet, I am very paranoid.



Good! Can't wait to see them. But don't spam

Facial recognition technology advances more every day so your paranoia is not unwarranted.

Well, we had a bit of a day out yesterday, and since I got me an imgur thingy...I thought I could share it...Just...Y'know...'Cause I can... ...

Well, we started out in the lovely town of Llangollen, which is by a river...And is very pretty...It also has a very excellent vintage railway thing going on too...

(Station)

(Locomotive)

Well, Llangollen was really nice but small-ish, so then we went to the remains of an Abbey that Henry t'Eighth burnt down in his dissolution of the monasteries tour thing...

Valle Crucis 1

Valle Crusis 2

Valle Crusis 3

Valle Crusis 4

Anyways, I could go on for several more of these...So then we headed up over t'mountains for some dinner...And on the way, there's these views...

View 1

View 2

View 3

And then...On the insistence of the daughter...We headed for my old childhood stomping ground of Caergwrle castle...Where I played as a youngster...

Behold the many pics...

Castle 1

Castle 2

Caergwrle

Where I used to live (-ish not that one in the centre)...

You know when people say "You live in hope?"...Well I did, later on...And here it is...

More castle...

Another castle...

Ach, there's more...We didn't actually finish there...But the others have people on that I'm not allowed to post...(Le shrug...)...But anyways...There's a few more of the abbey and castle...But I think you get the idea... ...

Sorry it's so many, but we really enjoyed yesterday...Damned knackered now though... ...

(Treydog adds McBadgereLand to list of places he must visit someday).

Wonderful pictures! Thank you so much for sharing them with us- and what a surprise- shy Badgere kin who wish to remain hidden....

Those rolling hills and the river- and TRAINS! Yes.. with ruins too. I can see myself becoming quite lost in a writerly fog for some time there...

McB, thanks for sharing! What fabulous shots. So much green! And Wales has such a rich history.

McB, thank you so much for sharing your day. You can’t show me too many pictures of Wales! Castles, an abbey, and trains in the same day, wow.

Those are some gorgeous pictures, McB!

A few from my holiday:

South Tyrol means bilingual (German/Italian) hiking route signage

The goods transport cable car thing of the Schlernhaus, with the Rosengarten group in the background (sorry all, I only know the German names for these things...)

The Tierser Alpl, where we stayed the third night

It was quite snowy this year (if you look closely you can see the path; the black dots are people)

The path always looks a lot scarier from a distance, really (alas, the really impossible-looking picture didn't turn out because my camera couldn't handle all the snow)

Looking back up at the Grasleitenpass (on the left), which we'd come down from

To finish, flowers!

Just be glad I'm not my dad, or else there would be five pictures of flowers per picture of mountains. I took an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude this year and can probably identify around twenty alpine flowers now. The gentians *were* gorgeous, I have to admit!

Oh Myyyyyy.

Take me with you!!

@ McB and Kazaera - these pics are all fantastic, you both have given us a real treat sharing them!!!

Thanks all... ...It was an extremely fun day out...The kiddles are off on school holidays so we try to do some sort of trip to somewhere each week...They love it...They really do... ...Nah, there are the occasional grumble but mostly they enjoy it...However, they absolutely loved saturday...Which cheered us no end as we were completely wiped out by it!... ...

@Acadian, one of the best things about around here is the amount of history there is within a short distance...An hour's drive in most directions (not north though...Half and hour will see you in the Irish Sea ) will see you past gawd knows how many ancient hill-forts, ruined castles, sites of battles, not-so-ruined castles...All you need is the petrol money really... ...

Kazaera!!...Pretty epic mountains right there!!...That's mega impressive!!...Don't think I could stay in the hotel under that cliff...Nope...I'd be forever expecting it to fall forward... ...

Kazaera, I want to go there! Beautiful, thank you for sharing. I’m afraid I’m right there with your dad. For every great view I take a lot of pictures of insects and flowers.

The insects and flowers are transient, so grab the shots while you can. Unless the light is unusual, the view's normally going to be the same later, so those shots can wait. You just have to make sure you go back to the places that are are worth taking pictures of. If they're not worth going back to, you wouldn't bother with the picture, right?

Hey DE, I missed these! Awesome!

Nice to see DE racing about

Now for some pics from me. Been making some stuff and thought I´d just show you

Mjölner
Mjölner in mirocu´s hand
Bench #2
Step stool. Well, there aren´t really any steps but it´s made to be stood upon to reach those otherwise unreachable places

The bench and step stool are pretty rough when you examine them closely and that´s how I like it to be. Wooden things made for the outdoors shouldn´t be smooth and polished if you ask me. Which you didn´t

Mjölner looks awesome!

How long did it take to make it?

Gosh, mirocu, what a master craftsman you are!

Thanks

I don´t really know how long it took since I´ve been working on it on and off for a long time now. Lately though it´s just been some minor adjustments. But it didn´t take much more than a day before it was pretty much done. I had to take two pieces of wood and glue them together (you can see the joint between the dark and the light wood) and then I placed a template over it and drew the lines with a pencil. Then I just cut it out and started polishing it. And boy, have I been polishing it!

Thanks, Acadian

Your hard work really paid off!

Awesome, mirocu! I completely agree about outdoor wooden things. I enjoy how weather changes the surfaces. And I sit on a towel if I think there might be splinters.

In any case I´m done polishing it now!


Thanks, Grits!

I like how the surface changes too and I actually think it looks better then and not when it´s brand new But you don´t need a towel if you come on over, Grits. There are no splinters in my bench

Absolutely LOVE that bench! Is that Behr stained? Looks incredible! I could use the footstool too, lol.

Not exactly sure what a Mjölner is (wait, you mean Thor's hammer?), but the wood looks so smooth, satiny soft! I was highly impressed by your landscaping - and your arm as well. Muscular, not too thin; hands immaculately clean (even the fingernails!) despite the hard work - well done, Mirocu! Show us the rest of you on that bench! (and no, not asking for a nude shot, ROFL !!! Jeans and shirtless maybe?) ROFL !!!

I'm just kidding with you, I loved these pictures. You make some amazing stuff in that shop behind your house!

Thanks! But I´n not sure what Behr is though...


Yep, Thor´s hammer. Back in the days the hammer was a symbol of good luck and protection And yes, the wood made for that is smooth, but not the rest of the stuff


I appreciate your compliments, but I seriously doubt you´re gonna see me on the bench at all, and certainly not without clothes!


Thanks! Not so sure they´re so good myself, but I guess insecurity runs in the family. My dad´s cousin´s dad was a carpenter, and a damn good one. But he always said "Oh, that can´t be done" and "Is that thing still not broken?" But I rather think he was joking

-------------

Had a few other shots for those who care. It´s a shield I made a few years back

The front
The back
And this one is just for mALX

AWESOME shield !!!! Now all you have to do is find one of those groups around your area that re-enact battles with wooden swords and shields, etc. KC got in one this summer and had a blast!

Awesome job, Mirocu - and I'm glad I teased you if it got me another arm shot,

I wasn´t actually too focused when I made that shield. I was sort of in a bad place at the time and I didn´t make it as good as it could have been. But I guess it turned out decent enough for me to keep it

And now, no more pixies of mirocu´s arm!

Aw, it's okay; I just won't look if you do, lol.


*mALX looks extremely innocent*

Why not more arms..and hands..ehh and well more parts of the male body? You really have a very sexy arm mirocu!


Eller SNYGG skulle man kunna säga (you could say handsome)

Do I have your word that I won't get banned?

SPEW!
