According to the International Sailing Federation, and their Racing Rules of Sailing –
“Since both vessels are under engine power as opposed to sail, immediate disqualification shall be the penalty enforced upon both….”
Actually, I made all that up.
Who yields? Short answer, the plane. Something about ‘Why can’t you just put wheels on it and be like a normal plane?’
Sorry, made that up too.
It’s like that out today –
They’re loving the Spring weather too.
Unfortunately so are the dandelions (you can see them in the background)….
Normally on Monday, I feel bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Like this guy –
Not today. Not after a 3 day weekend of eat, drink & be merry in Portland. Today was more of a slug through it day. Felt like this guy today –
Anyway. Portland. Fun town. Good place to blow the diet. Maybe a couple Portland photos later this week. Maybe not. We’ll see.
Get outta the street!
He’s not fat, he’s just big boned.
And not all that bright.
But we like him.
Have nicer toys to play with at work –
Good work boys and girls. Keeping Ballard (and it’s drinking establishments) safe is a noble cause.
Not that! Though it is legal now….
Tulips. From the garden. Courtesy of the one with the green thumb –
That’s a pretty good start. Give ’em a few more days.
Know how I know? Tulips. When the tulips show up, it’s Spring –
That’s what you get when the sun warms this place up after 180 days of rain.
We like it.
Call-sign Thunder Buddy. Seriously. Now that’s funny –
Don’t know my fighter jets, might be a F18?
I like the squiggly contrail forming off the wingtip.
And the call-sign.
Eagle photos –
So there’s that. Just a couple of young eagles out chasing each-other around and enjoying the sunny, Spring day.
I think they’re pretty cool.
More eagles from last week that I said I’d get to over the weekend (I didn’t). Whatever, here they are now –
Wait! Not an eagle. And I think he’s a little miffed by the mix-up. Here –
Sorry, cormorant. How’d that get in there? Here –
Quacker? DOH! That’s my mistake. I’ve got it this time –
Okay seriously, like the white gull, I got lazy and haven’t got to the eagle photos. But I did find these guys today. It got windy this afternoon and they were all keeping dry to stay warm. Or something.
Maybe tomorrow for the eagle pics, but not if I ride to work. We’ll see….
