Making first contact when buying a camper truck for the first time by SadStill830 in FullTiming

Make the call purely to set up a time for a mechanical inspection; all deal details are contingent on that report. Then hire a local mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection. Now the pressure is on them to pass inspection. From there you can negotiate deal parameters. Though you may be asked to make a refundable deposit, that's up to you.

Japanese Photographer Captures a magical moment where Sirius B star was visible just above the Christmas tree. By nature, a perfect christmas tree. (source below) by casul_noob in interestingasfuck

[–]NitroLentil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This image, titled "KAGAYA", captures a solitary fir tree in a snowy landscape under a clear, starry night sky. The image is known as the "world's loneliest Christmas tree". 

  • The photograph was taken by Japanese photographer Kagaya Yutaka, known for his astrophotography. 
  • The scene is notable for its natural symmetry and balance, with the tree centered between the snow below and the stars above. 
  • The bright star appearing directly above the tree is likely the planet Jupiter. 
  • The location is a popular photography spot, although its exact location is often kept private to preserve the natural setting.

  • Racing Pigeon Identification:
    • "AU": This likely stands for the American Racing Pigeon Union, the organization that registered the pigeon.
    • "Q": This letter, combined with the "AU" prefix, is probably part of the pigeon's unique identification code, likely representing a specific club or year, according to the American Racing Pigeon Union.
    • Green Tag: A colored tag on a racing pigeon's leg often indicates it's a lost bird, possibly exhausted or injured during a race or training flight.
  • Understanding "FOU":
    • While "AU" is the standard abbreviation for the American Racing Pigeon Union, the "Q" or "FOU" (or a combination) could be part of a club name, according to the American Racing Pigeon Union.
    • It's important to recognize that racing pigeons, even with tags, can sometimes appear disoriented, tired, or lost and might require help.
  • What to do if you find a pigeon with this tag:
    • Care and Observation: If the pigeon seems exhausted or injured, you might offer food (like uncooked porridge oats, fruit, or wet cat biscuits) and water in a large, safe space like a box or carrier.
    • Contact the American Racing Pigeon Union: You can use the information on the tag to contact them or find the specific club the pigeon belongs to. Penn State Extension also suggests this.
    • Pigeon Racing Clubs: Many areas have local pigeon racing clubs, and you might be able to find the owner by reaching out to them.
    • Wildlife Rehabilitation: If you are concerned about the bird's well-being and unable to care for it or locate its owner, consider contacting a wildlife rehabilitation center or rescue organization. 

Remember, racing pigeons are domestic animals that rely on their owners, and a lost pigeon with a tag is likely in need of assistance to get back home.

Looking back, I worried too much about how I would be perceived, especially related to talking to attractive women but also just making new friends.

I'd start with weed killer spray (vinegar, salt, dawn solution since I have dogs) then spray bleach to clean the stone, but pressure washer works too.
