I've recently begun experimenting with a new hobby, RC Rock Crawlers. The weather was too lovely to pass up on this last Sunday, so I took two of my kids on a 1/18th scale overlanding trip. It was quite an enjoyable adventure, and they're looking forward to the next.

Meanwhile, in central Alberta :

That looks lovely, but I'd only want it to stick around long enough to build a proper snowman.

Shoveling 15cm of snow at -20C is not lovely. Not at my age, anyway. Winter here will probably hang on until at least the end of March, so plenty of time to build a Snowman.

Looks like fun Kris. Where did you take this adventure?

We were at one of my local state parks, within Tennessee's Cherokee National Forest. There are some absolutely beautiful places to detox along the Appalachian Mountains.

In the early 70's (I was a young nerdy teenager) my father's employer (Control Data Corp.) moved our family from Maryland to Minnesota.
Mom and Dad always talked of moving back east after retirement - hoping to live in Virginia or the Carolinas. They loved the beautiful old mountains and hills.
Grandchildren and other stuff changed their plans and they never left Minnesota. ![Rose | [Rose]](gif/rose.gif)

I was on a flight to Phoenix yesterday, and I saw this outside the airplane window! 
It's a good thing I was able to take a photo.

It that a really tall Rothchild's Giraffe, or is he in the Patio Section?[^]

A view from the citadel of Dinant in Belgium, I was surprised during a tour to find out that the Dutch army had rebuilt the citadel into its current form. There were lots of signs inside like "Dutch bakery" and "Dutch forge".

Yes, I only spent a week in Wallonia (the French speaking part of Belgium), but that was much too short to visit all the interesting places and cities. I also loved biking along its rivers like the Sambre and the Meuse.

Didn't visit any bars, but I went to the "Distillerie de Biercee" and bought some liquor there

To quote Bill Bryson, in The Road to Little Dribbling: I used to think Canford Cliffs was a perfect place, apart from a curious shortage of pubs.

Did you go up there in that small box hanging from a cable?

Yep, better than the alternative of climbing hundreds of steps

And from the picture I can see at least one of those sets of stairs have NO handrails.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

The alternative is admiring it from the distance, on a terrace with coffee 
Looks cool though.

The cables had become a rats-nest: I added the KVM, which added ten cables to the system, then a video capture box with another five and it was getting rather untidy.
Then I changed the video card and ... oh dear.
I lived with it for long enough, but today was the day: reorg the cables, with new colour coded labels at each end so I knew where it had to go back.
Here's some of the cables as I relabeled them - nearly all data, a couple of power cables only:
And here's the result:

Nice setup, Paul. Glad you got it sorted out.

Congrats on the reorg. But there's a problem: Your screens aren't nearly big enough!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
