#superb owl 2024

Monday, February 12.

The Superb Owl cometh.

The Owl is here. After all, there are owls, and then there are Owls. This would be the latter.    This is the superb owl. You may not like it, but this is what peak owl performance looks like. After 32 owls, a playoff between 12, and the final between the two elite competitors, we have this year's champion at last.   Just kidding—all owls are superb. Every last one: barn, snowy, great grey, or boreal, it matter not. So, to celebrate the arrival of all of this year's exemplary specimens, we have gathered a selection of these beloved (and mostly) nocturnal friends. Starting with this pal, who looks like an apple.

I'm not a very patriotic person usually (in the summer i might be because olympics but i digress), but America the Beautiful should be our national anthem not the star spangled banner

For those unaware, every Super Bowl Sunday, it's popular to post owls with the tag "SuperbOwlSunday".

Celebrating Superb Owl Sunday.

February 2024

[rv-there-yet]

RV or not RV

It's Super Bowl Sunday 2024 - last year we were happily working our kit and taking a break to enjoy two football teams and Rihanna on TV and the Superb Owl on the web.

It's one year later and for eight months of that year we have been questioning our life choices and Vans Aircraft.

In late June / July Vans issued a Stop Building directive, since they finally took the cracking of laser cut parts (LCP) seriously.

In July Greg went to Oshkosh and got the feeling that yes, there was a problem, but everything was still under control.

We had a serious chunk of money in the build and we wanted to believe in a company with stellar reputation of taking care of its community.

There was very little information forthcoming.

Then, on December 4th, the news Vans had entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy and shit went to poo.

Their bancruptcy is focused on reorganization. They intend to reject our existing contracts. We need to file a claim or we need to agree to new contracts - 32% more on kits, 12% more on engines, 3% more on propellers.

Basically they've got our money and they've got us over a barrel.

In two days time we need to decide whether to stick with the build or walk away.

It's fucked.

Xylography

Current evidence dates the word xylography to 1816, but it is linked to printing practices that are much older. In fact, the oldest known printed works (from Japan and China in the 8th and 9th centuries) were made by xylography, a printing technique that involves carving text in relief upon a wooden block, which is then inked and applied to paper. This method of wood-block printing appeared in Europe in the 14th century, and eventually inspired Johannes Gutenberg to create individual and reusable pieces of type out of metal. These days, xylographycan also describe the technique of engraving wood for purely artistic purposes. English speakers picked up the word from French, where it was formed as a combination of xyl-, meaning "wood," and -graphie, which denotes writing in a specified manner.

French xylographie, from xyl- + -graphie -graphy

Superb Owl 2024

And I actually watched some of it??? And I watched the entirety of the Overtime??? And that was STRESSFULL!!! But THEY DID IT!!! Lol.

And yes, I cared more than usual because of Taylor (& I did wear Taylor merch lol), but I was also rooting for the Chiefs b/c of my dad, just like last year lol

And I can't believe Usher brought out Teeny-Bell for the Halftime Show! That was crazy! Lol. XD

It's funny that I actually watched like half the game b/c we went to our family Super Bowl party and ate (we had burgers, chips & queso (& salsa but I didn't get any), tres leches cake, and tea as usual lol) & then left as usual like right as the game was starting lol (So I watched the game alone, which I think was better lol).

And I also made a goofy tweet about our cat because my dad named him Kelce after Travis Kelce. Lol.
