A brief respite from sailing threads

[Kermit]

Proof that dreams can come true.

Thanks for posting this, I could use a little virtual sailing reality to get me through fixing my engine. Going to be too long until I get out of the slip.
Made me think of Jonathon Livingston Seagull.

Fabulous. Thanks for posting.

Yes it is true. where there's a dream, and the will, there is a way .

Nice one Kermit, gave me my first LOL of the day.

Imagine him flying over your boat and taking a crap! What a mess! At least he can't perch on your wind vane!

I'll assume you're referring to Kermits ostrich. I can usually hold it when flying over boats.

Nice one Kermit.

I'm glad y'all like the video. Sometimes I feel like the ostrich about life in general.

I would think that sometimes that is a good thing...

Imagine having a virtual reality goggle that helps with engine repair. Particularly outboards? WHOOT

Good thing they can't fly like your Osprey, or you would have a droppings problem on your boat.

Yes, my slip looks out at an osprey nest on a piling, I found something that made me think of a hairball from a cat one day. Had to have been a "present" from an osprey.

That's a pellet. Birds of prey eat everything and then hack up what they can't digest. Bone, fur, feathers, scales and the like. Owl pellets actually have monetary value in classrooms. High quality barn owl pellets seem to have the greatest value.

Are they odorless pellets? Can Peggy tell us how to find odor free pellets?
I have some deer and rabbit pellets left over the weekend in my yard... Would love to sell them, or even give them away if you can pay shipping.

Different sort of pellet. Comes back up the same way it went in.

I know Kermie.. I have a couple of cat pellets that were coughed up I can offer, just more of the deer and rabbits... It is a supply and demand thing.... I have a varied supply, and looking for a demand... Would love to accommodate your needs....

Yes, it made me think of the way a snake can't digest the bones & stuff and regurgitates it all. Thanks for the link.

OMG a Osprey "burp".

Ya gotta love SBO info. Filed this away, until someone asks "What the heck is this?" again on the forum.
