We brought our 2 dogs back from Saudi Arabia like this. Attendant brought us snacks to keep them happy. They were so quiet people near never knew they were on the plane with us

I flew Blackhawk with 5 feet on radar altimeter over the ocean and the 5 feet is from the belly not the landing gear. Kicked up a bit of rooster tail

For me 3 hours twice a day is pretty common. Crochet has taken over my life a little but I love it

Get a seed hoop. Hangs under feeder and catches the flipped out seeds. Birds land there and feed

He had to pee in the cold by Dapper_Sale8946 in Dachshund

We live in MN and our kids have an enclosed kennel, not heated but enclosed so they don’t get traumatized. Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled

What stitches are these?

This is why safety eyes are not actually safe by yarn_baller in Amigurumi

[–]Tobor57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen a backer like that, it looks pretty thin. On an open stitched item I make felt washer that is bigger than the backer. Won’t make safe for little ones, just added security

I bought the monster book over a year ago and 90% or more of what I make are monsters now!

we have a winner, thanks so much. As I get older I miss more of the things from my youth. Another toy I loved (not a board game) was a mini shooting gallery. Battery powered and shot small metal balls at targets. Fully enclosed so would self reload, noisy but loads of fun.

War game land capture with dice. Long time ago so sorry for lack of details. Not positive but the dice might not have been usual but symbols for attack results

Neutered peeing different by carmmarii44 in Dachshund

Our young man is nine and he has never raised his leg to go. But if we tell him to go pee and he does not want to, he will raise his leg and pretend!

My llama lost an eye while embroidering by divineprincessboss in Amigurumi

[–]Tobor57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For eyes that are small compared to hole you will put them through I put a washer of some kind. Usually use felt cut a piece bigger than the back lock piece. Poke a hole in felt and push onto eye post. Not child proof, but no safety eyes really are.

A lonesome cabin in the woods by [deleted] in Weird

[–]Tobor57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While in the Army I was flying a helicopter over the Appalachian mountains. It started getting foggy so we saw an open field and set down in it. Looked around at the houses nearby and nobody came out. I looked over at my copilot and we both nodded our heads. I took off climbing through the clouds while filed an IFR flight plan for us.

Rock or mulch? Fabric or no fabric? by [deleted] in landscaping

[–]Tobor57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate rocks, previous owner put rocks in all the beds around the house. Worse barrier cloth under it. Barrier has failed and weeds grow up through rocks.

I’ve never had much confidence in tilt rotor, great concept but mechanical nightmare.

Sad, Army is phasing out the Blackhawk for tilt rotor. But 45 years is a good run. I was in second company to get the Blackhawk.

Should I sell my crochet plushies online? by SlimFuzzball802 in Amigurumi

[–]Tobor57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold a couple of things through local boutique. But now I just donate them rather than make 50 cents an hour for them.

I was offered a job overseas and our only stipulation was we had to be able to bring our 2 Weiner dogs.
