1985/1/20 was the date on the car in Back to the Future when Marty first time travelled.
Which is, I believe, where your 88 MPH quote came from?

You’re on the right track.

October 21, 2015?

 

[JohnDF]

The day you lost your license?

Lol...

And imagine that she's going to sell your knives for the price you told her you paid for them.

Oh no, I hadn't thought of that.

 

[JohnDF]

Anyone care to guess the exact date on which I took that first photo?

Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me you built a time machine...

[Sharp & Fiery]

Totally forgot about B2TF 2!! Haha.
Love it. How you actually remembered to take a photo on that date.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

btb01 FYI, your inbox is full.

Thanks for letting me know, I freed up some space!

Sorry for the brief distraction, folks! We're on to 89 now!

88 piano keys

Well done with the piano, Vince!

Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me you built a time machine...

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads."

(Hey, that would make a good sticker to put on your Jeep!)

 

[Prester John]

Well done with the piano, Vince!

Thanks, Barrett. We're almost done! I'll try to think of a post or two for tomorrow.

(Hey, that would make a good sticker to put on your Jeep!)

Right? I need one.
I have a sign in my office that says, "Don't follow me, you won't make it."

We're on to 89 now!

OK, I can contribute!
Our daughter gave us a game called Wingspan last Christmas. Each player's turn in the game is one of 4 "actions": placing a bird card in a habitat (woodland, grassland, or wetland); obtaining food; obtaining eggs; obtaining additional bird cards. There are 4 rounds to the game, with each player getting 8, 7, 6, and 5 turns in Rounds 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. My wife and I played a game yesterday, and here's a pic of the scoresheet (the 2 rightmost columns show yesterday's game).

Note that my total (winning ) game score is a timely 89, the sum of several components identified in the leftmost column of the score sheet. (Expect to see more of these Wingspan scoresheets in this thread, and perhaps a couple of photos of game action! )

(Anyone else ever play this game, and if so, do you have any strategic hints to share?)

On Eleanor's birth day going to the clinic?
(edit) looks like the train's gone since a while

 

[Jolipapa]

Right? I need one.
I have a sign in my office that says, "Don't follow me, you won't make it."

When I was 20, some found funny to display a plate at the back window on old cars : "don't laugh, your daughter may be inside..."

 

[Will Power]

I've seen some that said WIFE rather than daughter

Come on JP '89 is the Year of your Revolution, year zero etc

I have been considering to purchase the game, but I think my wife would find it boring or too much strategic. How do you like it?
