All copies of the Big Bang Theory series to be destroyed...
Darkmatters has to be renamed....
Following the newest science theory there was no big bang and there is no dark matter...

Happy Easter
I was ordered to care for the grandchildren and grandnieces and grandnephews while the females of the family care for our high pregnant second. Sunny Easter weather and the red forests ants are busy working on their hives. So we will visit a hive and place easter eggs into it. The ants will spray their acid on the 'enemy'. The acid reacts with the natural colour the eggs are painted with, leaving nice patterns. Easter ants are one of our generations old family easter traditions.

twisters -> Staubteufel / dust devils
Never witnessed a Tornado. But several dust devils. And I mean the real ones, not the Diablo4 barbarian dustdevils.

To become a good cook use the paper from cooking books to fire up your oven....

I hate TV-series like 911, Seattle firefighters, ... All paid professionals in big cities. Countryside with its volunteers have less training. So you should help them as much as you can.
For most cars you can download the rescue sheet in several languages. Gas spring devices, side airbags, all that stuff that might be dangerous.
You can also have something similiar at home: a capsule with a sheet naming medicaments, contact persons, allergies. You glue a small sticker on the housedoor where to find it, mainly it is the fridge.
2 Euro for a sheet you fill with the information, a box for the sheet and placed in the fridge. Two stickers: one for the house door, one for the fridge. All in all around 10 minutes which may save your life if an amateur like me may have to rescue you

People with a good memory probably know that my company car was destroyed last year by a car from behind with too weak brakes. Now the new beast arrived. First thing to do is to print out the Rettungskarten in German and French.
That leads to the question what is a Rettungskarte in English. Rescue-Card, rescue sheet? Are they mandatory at your place, or is a QR-code at the wind-shield enough (fails if no access to internet at countryside) The 'rescue-sheet' can be downloaded and printed out. Then it is placed at the sun-shield or another easy place. It contains all the data firefighters need to help at a crash: where to turn of the high voltage of this model of an electric car. Where to lift the car best, where to place hydraulic presses,....
Probably too long a firefighter. Before doing a longer testdrive placing the rescue sheets. Yes it is an electric Mercedes G-class and one of the sheets is like this

animal crossing -> boar spear
The animal crossing car sign seems to be the most overlooked one. With the boars hit by cars I have to kill with a spear I can feed the whole village
Spear because at running traffic or people around law forbids using firearms.
Big signs: danger - massive crossing of animals

Plato's Republic -> Animal Farm
Orwell's animal Farm was the first book I read in English. Never had English at school and the cover was looking like an easy read, what a mistake. Was well before youtube and videos. Now it is easier.

Wagner was a genius too, but more discussable ideology. I think Wagner still wins the best known melody? Nearly no marriage without Treulich geführt from the bride scene from Lohengrin.

When I have birthday the number of people in the village grows by one third already - for half a day.
The problem is that the girls have my math genes. With a size well above 190cm the risc of a birth climbs with age very fast because of blood pressure.

Long night at hospital... Oldest giving birth to a girl at 3:37am, 3624gramms, 54cm. Second will follow with a boy next days.
While holding the baby our youngest was humming; Bettina Wegner : Kinder (Sind so kleine Hände)
Are such tiny hands
With tiny fingers on them
Don't you ever beat them
They might break apart
Are such tiny feet
With so tiny toes
Don't you ever step on them
They might not be able to walk
Are such tiny ears
That hear so excellent
Don't you ever shout at them
They might become deaf
Are such beautiful mouths
Speaking out everything
Don't you ever forbid
They might not speak anymore
Are such clear eyes
That still can see everything
Don't you blindfold them
They couldn't comprehend
Are so little souls
Frank and completely free
Don't you ever trouble them
They might get harmed
Is such a little spine
That you can hardly see it
Don't you ever bend it
Because it might break
Upright, clear humans
That would be a beautiful aim
We already have
Too many spineless peopleJoan baez was singing it too

Sorry but sometimes it needs my mother language to explain my feelings.
Our third will do one year at an foreign art school. Kids leaving the house. Finding a balance between giving them freedom to do their own live but letting them know that there will be always a home for them. First time I was singing this song with my guitar was when our oldest did a one year trip through Europe to study forests. Now it is our third... not forests but musical instruments making.
....
Good journey, good journey / A year passes like a moment and come back healthily
Good journey, good journey / No border which separates us and come back healthily
You can fly to the stars, past the Orion / Dive in Marianengraben and feel free
The universe expands / Climb the Mount Everest
Swim up to Iceland / In your heart I am with you anyways
Because I am forever your home

Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot
Played it on train travel to Paris. Nice little gem of an autobattler

I asked the local LEGO seller about the Unimog. He said at the floor for kids 11-16, costing a bit more than 500€. I said this is not really a price for kids and pocket money. Now when buying big LEGO parts for the grandchildren the seller smiled and thanked me for an idea. He was selling Unimogs double the amount. He had made a floor labeled: LEGO for MEN with the unimog abd LEGO for WOMAN with the botanicals...
Seems there is a change in customers

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa...
Sorry, seems I was using an outdated test version and not the release version of EE. The fireballs moved from staff shots to dragon companion attacks....

The coldblood will need lot of training. When it is grown out it will become a Rückepferd. We chop only really big trees and not all in an area. So we need something to pull smaller trunks without damaging other trees and the soil. Generation project. Our oldest horse is 20 years and short before retirement. So 18 years in future it will not be me doing the work with the new one.

Juggernauts -> Moloch
In German juggernaut is rarely used. Moloch is not really the same but fits in most cases.
Juggernaut is related to Vishnu, while Moloch to Carthago.
Statue in Turin museum. We were there with motorbikes when our three year old oldest was at her grandparents.

The last days were sunny but with bittercold clear nights. Our new coldblood and the other horses had to wear shelters. At setting sun. The head of the horses is still in the sun while the legs are already in shadows. Makes the picture a bit strange in colours, Should stick to black and white
The horses preferred the sun uphill. For night they move down into the valley for wind shelter

The twins 'play' LEGO at school for robotic and computer science classes. Over the years we got all the technical LEGO stuff at home. My last LEGO was an Unimog with hydraulics to show show how the real beast works

Frikadellenbrötchen... The only food cafeteria at hospital served at night. Long long waiting for the next grandchild. Returned home and now wife is there. We do shifts. Our second does a bit hard because of all the scars from hide transplantations after an accident when 12.
A bread roll cut in hald with a Frikadelle between. No salade, tomato, cheese , remoulade, sauce... Just the Frikadelle.
