@Kev45, you too are f.ucking gorgeous and handsome

my EXTREMELY good looking (the truth, ty @Kev45) self was careful not to disturb my fella villagers this morning while I continued my labour of love around this splendid abode of mine, so, I used smaller quieter tools than my fantastic Bertha.

I am empathy itself when it comes to caring for those around me. Believing my hard working., gentle and caring nature has helped me attain this (ty @Kev45) godlike level of handsomenessessess.

Like Chris Hemsworths 'Thor' when stripped of his clothing by Russell Crowes 'Zeus' in the movie Thor: Love and Thunder, I have the ability to activate swooningnessessessingness in those around me.

I've seen bigger ;)

Both are really OLD pictures :cool:

The first ones from 2015

Stuck Bertha in Seattle, back when we were so confident we knew what we were doing. We still are, at least on the outside.


The second ones from 2012


Schwanau, August 10, 2012. During the course of extending the A1 in Italy, a currently busy section between Bologna and Florence is being extended to include a new alternative route. One feature of this route is the Sparvo Tunnel under construction since August 2011 which represents a new record in mechanized tunnelling in terms of size as it has a boring diameter of 15.615 meters and comprises two parallel tubes 2.5 kilometers in length. The alternative route aims to significantly reduce travel time for up to 90,000 vehicles per day. The client Autostrade per l’Italia S.p.A. anticipates the tunnel opening in mid-2013.


So can one of you nutters tell me why your claiming to use them?
