I used to like the lemonade. It reminded me of the stuff dad used to whip up for us.
Uncle Jim, now there's a name from the past. Wasn't he in sales? He was certainly convincing enough.

He could sell potatoes to the Russians that man, in fact I heard he'd tried too. Was always a bit of a God bothering lefty compared to Pa and some of his crazy ideas/plans. I wonder where Uncle Jim is now? Someone said he was going to Cuba or to see that strange old gentleman he wrote to in Korea Uncle Kim Il-sung.
Pa wont talk about it as he says HIS ideas were much better.
Can't believe you liked the juice - tasted of Amaretto.
Biker, Happy Outer Limits Day!
Biker, on this day in 1963 - "Outer Limits" premieres on ABC-TV.
The Outer Limits is an American television series that aired on ABC from 1963 to 1965. The series is often compared to The Twilight Zone, but with a greater emphasis on science fiction (rather than simply bizarre or supernatural) stories. The Outer Limits is an anthology of self-contained episodes, sometimes with a plot twist at the end.
The series was revived in 1995, airing on Showtime from 1995 to 1999, then on Sci-Fi Channel from 1999 until its cancellation in 2002. In 1997, the episode "The Zanti Misfits" was ranked #98 on TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time.
Each show would begin with either a cold open or a preview clip, followed by a "Control Voice" narration that was played over visuals of an oscilloscope. The earlier and longer version of the narration ran as follows.
First lines of each episode: There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to The Outer Limits.
Last lines of each episode: We now return control of your television set to you. Until next week at the same time, when the control voice will take you to The Outer Limits.
Later episodes used one of two shortened versions of this introduction. The first few episodes began simply with the title screen followed by the narration and no cold open or preview clip.
Death.
On this day in 1498 - Tomas de Torquemada, inquisitor who burned 10,000 people, dies.

I hope you had your atlatl with you as well?
Axolotl, axolotl? You had bizarre carnivorous amphibians in the naughty corner? Apart from Dad that is.

Ohoh! you reckon Pa, Uncle Jim, Mesquite, Uncle Kelly et al are members of the Lizard overlords?
Was that the one piece or the seven person composite you saw him in?

To be honest I lost track after the first few. I was never as fashion conscious as you. I always admired the treatment he used for the leather though. It used to come up as smooth and soft as a baby's b.... hang on!

Biker, Happy Red Barron Day!
On this day in 1916 - World War I: Manfred von Richthofen [The Red Baron], a flying ace of the German Luftstreitkräfte, wins his first aerial combat near Cambrai, France.
Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (2 May 1892 21 April 1918), also widely known as the Red Baron, was a German fighter pilot with the Imperial German Army Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte) during World War I. He is considered the top ace of that war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories.
Originally a cavalryman, Richthofen transferred to the Air Service in 1915, becoming one of the first members of Jasta 2 in 1916. He quickly distinguished himself as a fighter pilot, and during 1917 became leader of Jasta 11 and then the larger unit Jagdgeschwader 1 (better known as the "Flying Circus"). By 1918, he was regarded as a national hero in Germany, and was very well known by the other side.
Richthofen was shot down and killed near Amiens on 21 April 1918. There has been considerable discussion and debate regarding aspects of his career, especially the circumstances of his death. He remains perhaps the most widely known fighter pilot of all time, and has been the subject of many books, films and other media.

I saw Kreib accidentally, when he was just about to put his face on in dingly dell, Steve and John were elsewhere at the time, and I was delivering a log for Kreib to carve. If I hadn't had my camera at the time, no one would believe me.
