That was my fan club that day. They came from the other side of the field to admire me and eat the tasty flagging I tied up. Cows are a pita, but they're gentle and curious. I don't like being in a field with horses. They can't be trusted, and they try to sneak up on you when you aren't looking. I'm a surveyor.

I don't trust horses too. I watched the Grand National this year and out of nowhere the horse just back kicks randomly and injured the jockey. Same happened in the Olympics. Funny you mentioned horse because I hate horses especially ponies. ewwWWw

Nay he's a cow surveyor, makes sure they all stay in a perfect line.

Been a long time since I've been to a farm, but any time I get near horses they try to eat my head. They think it's an apple lol.

Remember in the early days of the internet the Cow.cam. A company just pointed a camera outside to a pasture and there were some cows in it and it streamed 24/7. Was revolutionary in the day.

u need help. u haz peanut butter
what is your profession? do you build planes?

No I fly RC planes, well sailplanes. I work for the guberment as an Electronics Technician. If you were to see behind me I have a workbench with tools and meters etc. I love that desk, its big, roomy and built like a tank. Its one of those made by prison labor and will survive a nuclear explosion. And for the peanut butter that and some plain triscuits make for a high protein and fiber snack. :)

Actually it's funny, you don't see a lot of webcams like that anymore. All the webcams now are accidental due to terrible security. :p

Here's a somewhat recent pic of my man cave. And yes, that is a kids bounce house that you can barely see behind the seating area, so it's also my kids cave sometimes too.

I always knew you were a Patrick Swayze/Dirty Dancing fan.

There are quite a few wildlife cams out there. The Eagle nesting/hatching is pretty cool, and the salmon spawning when the bears come is pretty cool too.

This one half of my man cave. It's still a work in progress, and the PC area is a pit at the moment so no pics ;p but it looks similar to the first picture in that article.

The Bears come when the salmon are spawning, not the other way 'round. ;-)

Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, Alaska. I think the peak is late June through July.


Yep, doesn't change what I said, it's only interesting when the bears show up ;)

These are neat to look at. I would love to come up with something like this but lack the creativity nor patience to build and maintain such a thing. Everytime I build a new computer my goal is to make it look clean and sharp from a wiring perspective. It starts off with good intentions but never ends that way. Wires usually bunched up and pushed into a corner in the enclosure lol
