drats, network failure lost me. now I have to do it again

helo everybody

Good morning Yul.

good but very rainy morning here, drwho

even late afternoon

We had rain for the last couple days, it looks like today will be clear.

weather always changes. and it's good for it

From your late afternoon comment, are located in Europe?

london

where are you, drwho?

I am about 10 miles north of Minneapolis.

I see (thanks to google maps)

You may have seen some news a couple of weeks ago about a bridge collapse there.

yes i did. it was horrid

It could have been much worse.

Speaking of Google maps, have you tried Google Earth?

yes I love it. and google sky is amazing too

I have tried that one, is it a "planetarium" program?

... haven't tried ...

yes. earth is more impressive thought because you could get to the places you know well and compare them to your memory

I worked with someone who wrote a planetarium program about 20 years ago and marketed it. I wonder if Google got hold of his code?

everything is possible

Last time I saw him, he had move to Texas. But his mom lives in my home town.

Go.

go

Done. Not very hard at all with greens. A few tripplets and pairs, that's all.

Difficulty score 24. I used one triple and several pairs. Theoretically, you can do it without the triple.

no greens. slow but easy

hey guys, i have a question for you

so the other night i went diving off a friend's small boat. afterwards, he asked for my gear bag, and i handed it to him, and it turned out he put it in an unsafe place and fell overboat

who's responsible? him or me?

(the bag fell overboard, i meant, and sank into the water, lost)

go

you are responsible

go

done

no greens... just a hidden pair and virtual crosshatching...

shou: IMO, if you are asking who should pay for it, I think he should pay for it. He placed it where it would fall overboard.

boy, disappear for a couple of months and you nearly fall out of expert :D

tell me about it

10 to go - but they are mostly experts

9 to go

go

heck, disappear for a few weeks and it gets hard to catch up! I am almost there now - got a few more hards and one expert to finish. have mastered doing these on paper one-handed while feeding the new baby :)

(shou - why not offer to split the cost of replacing the lost gear?)

done. needed a little sneakiness. there's some pairs in there.

hmmm...almost 7 hours. guess i'm no expert!

GO

DONE

HEHEHEHE

SHOUPART NO PROBLEM...YOUR FRIEND CAN JUST PUT ON HIS GEAR AND GO DOWN AND GET IT...
