Naval Air Station Museum in Pensacola FL. We went 2 weeks ago and it was amazing! BETTER than the Air & Space Museum in Washington DC. We're geeks at my house, so our road trip was about doing off-the-beaten path things. The Boll Weevil Museum was clear on the other side of Alabama or we'da hit that too! Rocket and Space Center in Huntsville AL was pretty cool as well. The Space Shuttle is parked outside.

Oreck vacuums!

I'm borrowing a friend's. I went to change the bag and the design is so superior that when you pull the bag off of the hose (exposing all the dust in the bag) a cardboard sleeve closes and seals off the dirt and keeps it all contained in the bag. Too cool! (I'm a sucker for form and function.)

Crock Pot Meatloaf ..

Try it once, and you'll never go back to your old way of cooking it!
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 C milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 slices bread, crumbled or torn into small pieces
1/2 C diced onion
1 envelope dry Ranch Dressing mix
1/2 C ketchup

Directions:
Mix eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. Allow to soften (about 20 minutes). Combine this mixture with ground beef, onion, ranch pack, and ketchup. Mound in a greased crockpot. Cover the top of the mixture with additional ketchup. Put the cover on and turn crockpot on high for 15 minutes, then reduce to low and cook for 7 hours.

The digital world has destroyed my handwriting through lack of practice so I bought a Lamy Safari fountain pen, matt black, broad nib. I love it. I'm learning to write again.

I think it would make a great gift. It's not hugely expensive and writes incredibly smoothly. One downside: People love to "borrow" it. I'm on my second one in two months. I find I have to keep my eyes on it.

I'm glad it isn't just me who gets them nicked! I was in a coffee shop the other morning pretending to write a novel and noticed some woman eyeing it up. I also have a Safari Vista now, which is the clear one, just to make sure I have a spare when the inevitable happens and one goes walkies.

I'll try to find mine tomorrow. It's in a box somewhere. Oddly enough I have a shoebox of at least $200 worth of ink in the trunk of my car, I should bring that in, we can start up a handwriting thread again.

Perforation FTW! i've watched this pizza box gif about 20 times. Either it's intensely mesmerizing or I need to get to bed.
