The service was conducted by a Police Chaplain, and we had a Deputy Commissioner attend to read his valedictory and the Police Ode.
I feel good because of the number of people who attended for Dad, of the number of members of my section who attended to support me. I also feel good that I didn't lose my shit while delivering the eulogy.
Condolences. You're better than me at my Dads funeral.
Same scenario, retired Police officer with all the trimmings for a Police funeral, but I did lose it giving my eulogy, my sister had to take over.

That's lots of Omega3 to get through.

I saw a YT video the other day about Nascar motors etc.
And one thing I saw was a valve retainer that had holes drilled into the top of the retainer at regular increments.
  This got me thinking, looking, pondering why  
.

I have just finished watching this video:
Lifter 101: What are the Differences and Which is Right for YOU?




And if you are a little rusty on which one, why to use it etc, have a captain cook at this gem. Absolute god. He's forgotten more than I will ever know.

Enjoy

I took an extra day off for the Canberra long weekend and replaced the seal around my sliding door. As bad as I am with a caulking gun it still turned out better than the last effort. Japan Beige ended up being pretty spot on for colour

Having a quiet chuckle at recent medical malapropisms. First was Crash Bunny, texting to say he was in hospital after falling off a chair and fracturing his female. Then one of the gay nomads saying he’d become very run down due to recent workload, and broken out in coleslaws.

Similar to the ones who would ask me for prostate plants, usually from the female customers.

Watching my dogs with their marrow bones.... Harry the Cavoodle, strips it quick like a wild weasel!
Oskar the Mastiff is so awkward & slow. Doesn't want to touch, hold it with his giant capable claws & feet..... its like ewww!
His step- dad Brazilian Mastiff would be disappointed.... he would hold & control them like his feet were hands.
