I'm at MOT.

Too high a temperature even in mid winter for Vikings
Visited my pen friend in RI who had a friend who was carpenter/builder ... the rest is history

Little Mermaid,



Je n'ose pas imaginer ! Aujourd'hui à midi, il faisait déjà 34°C à l'ombre ici. Avec Louloup on a passé presque toute la journée au frai à la maison, et on ne sortira pas avant qu'il soit 22/23H. Surtout que c'est encore pire pour lui, avec ses poils, au point qu'il demande à rentrer ! La sortie du début d'après-midi, on va jusqu'au canisite le plus proche, il 'fait ses petites affaires', et ensuite il tire sur la laisse pour rentrer à la maison. Alors que sans la chaleur, il peut courir/nager pendant 5H d'affilées sans problème. Mais comme moi aussi je crains la chaleur, ça m'arrange bien qu'il fasse comme ça.

I do not dare to imagine! Today at noon, it was already 34 ° C in the shade here. With Louloup we spent most of the day spawning at home, and we will not leave until it is 22/23H. Especially that it is even worse for him, with his hair, to the point that he asks to return! The exit of the early afternoon, we go to the nearest canisite (public dog WC ? ), he 'does his little business', and then he pulls on the leash to go home. While without the heat, he can run / swim for 5H in a row without any problem. But like me too I fear the heat, it suits me although he does like that.





Une question sur la traduction, que je profite du Base Camp pour améliorer mon Anglais. Est-ce que le surnom Louloup (le vrai nom de mon chien, c'est Indy), qui a un sens, pourrait se traduire par Woowolf ? Que littéralement, en France (c'est un surnom très commun), ça veut dire : petit loup. Mais traduit comme ça, on perd toute la douceur de la sonorité. Et pour un chien, l'intonation et le nombre de syllabes est quelque chose de très important. On dit qu'un ordre ne doit pas faire plus de deux syllabes. Modulo comment on leur apprend, que quand je chuchote : "Chut, bébé il dort !" en montrant le plafond (Je lui ai appris quand on a eu de nouveaux voisins), il comprend très bien que là il ne faut plus faire un bruit, et qu'il n'y a pas à discuter.

Encore une fois, je repars à parler plus de mon chien que du reste ...

Ce n'est vraiment pas facile de passer du Français à l'Anglais (surtout quand on est mauvais en langue étrangère). De mon point de vue, dans la structure même du langage, il y a une différence : L'Anglais est une 'langue du mouvement', tandis que le Français est une 'langue de description'. Pour les conjugaisons par exemple, si je maîtrisais l'Anglais, je crois que j'utiliserais des temps plus simple. Très souvent, j'utilise trois mots différents en Français, et Google Trad les remplace tous par un seul en Anglais. C'est un peu troublant.

A question about the translation, that I take advantage of Base Camp to improve my English. Is the nickname Louloup (the real name of my dog ​​is Indy), which makes sense, could result in Woowolf? That literally, in France (it's a very common nickname), it means: little wolf. But translated like that, we lose all the softness of the sound. And for a dog, the intonation and the number of syllables is something very important. It is said that an order must not be more than two syllables. Modulo how we teach them, that when I whispers: "Hush, baby he's sleeping!" by showing the ceiling (I told him when we had new neighbors), he understands very well that there is no need to make a noise, and there is no need to discuss.

Once again, I'm starting to talk more about my dog ​​than anything else ...

It's really not easy to switch from French to English (especially when you're bad in a foreign language). From my point of view, in the very structure of language, there is a difference: English is a 'language of movement', while French is a 'language of description'. For conjugations for example, if I mastered English, I think I would use simpler times. Very often, I use three different words in French, and Google Trad replaces them all with one in English. It's a little disturbing.

Je comprend tout à fait, mais je pense que c'est très important qu'il garde son nom, Indy, à cause de son passé. Et c'est pour ça que je n'ai jamais voulu en changer, que quelque part, c'est tout ce qui lui reste de son identité. Quand je l'ai récupéré, qu'il avait 8 mois (seulement), j'étais le 4ème à m'en occuper, et il était passé par la Société Protectrice des Animaux (Un organisme national). J'ai tout changé dans sa vie (et lui dans la mienne), mais son nom, il fallait qu'il garde au moins ça (de mon point de vue).

Et puis, avec son coté joueur/aventurier, ça me fait penser à Indiana Jones. (Quand Sean Connery l'appelle Indy)

Mais surtout, au niveau de la communication, ce n'est pas la même chose. "Indy, ici !" et "Louloup, tu viens ?", ceux ne sont pas les même messages.
----------
I understand perfectly, but I think it's very important that he keep his name, Indy, because of his past. And that's why I never wanted to change, that somewhere is all that remains of his identity. When I got it back, it was 8 months old (only), I was the 4th to take care of it, and it was through the Society for the Protection of the Animals (A national organization). I changed everything in his life (and he in mine), but his name, he had to keep at least that (from my point of view).

And then, with his side player / adventurer, it makes me think of Indiana Jones. (When Sean Connery calls him Indy)

But above all, at the level of communication, it is not the same thing. "Indy, here!" and "Louloup, are you coming?", those are not the same messages.



Pour en revenir à la traduction. Woowolf, ou Woowoolf ? ça en serait une bonne pour Louloup ?
----------
To return to the translation. Woowolf, or Woowoolf? would that be good for Louloup?



Enfin, aucun soucis Little Mermaid, que tu ne prennes pas à chaque fois le temps d'utiliser la version française. La première raison qui fait que je post en bilingue, c'est que je ne suis pas sûr de mes traductions. Donc au moins comme ça, vous avez l'original, et n'importe quel francophone pourra confirmer que si quelque chose est mal dit, ce n'est pas volontaire. Et il y a aussi que j'aime la langue française, pour toutes ses subtilisées, ses jeux de mots, contre-pétries, etc ... Et je suis loin, très loin, de savoir le dire en Anglais. Mais si ça peut vous rendre 'curieux'.

Finally, no worries Little Mermaid, that you do not take time every time to use the French version. The first reason that I post bilingual is that I am not sure of my translations. So at least that way, you have the original, and any francophone will be able to confirm that if something is badly said, it is not voluntary. And there is also that I love the French language, for all its subtilis, its games of words, contre-pétries, etc ... And I am far, very far, to know how to say it in English. But if that can make you 'curious'.

Good to see you again, NixChix Blue Angels! I would love that.
Saw the Thunderbirds (decimated by an Italian stomach infection) seven years ago at a Danish AF Base.
It's not easy to take a picture like the one you show. Good job!
I suppose I need to scrutinize my statement from Bank Norwitchian .....
Cannot remember having bought those show tickets.
What was that brand of beer you brought in Ohio?
I don't know if I ought to get more of it - or avoid it
Do you bring any of it to our Georgia Camp?
@ stefada: If you think it's important to Louloup to keep his 'Indy' name, you do that.
I don't think it brings all that many happy memories for him
- I think you whispering "Louloup, tu viens ?" is all he wants to hear

Good Morning Base Campers
First of all welcome to this novel form of trek to

What Base Camp does right now
We are on our third day of our challenge style trek to MOT
Our host, Captain keithhenry is very kind to us - has named us MOTers for life with free hook-up rights
- he hasn't succumbed to putting up bail for us yet, but I'm working at it.
But he appreciates your work in a way you have never tried before - all those cheerleader and musicians!!!
Have you been to MOT's team thread and seen the celebrations of you? You start here and work your way back.
keithhenry also asks you to come and say hello - maybe tell a little about yourselves ...
We are in fact solidly in front with or without counting tanner2's work to us.
Very good.
Unexpectedly very, very good!
It's kind of fun to measure our firepower this way.
I was thinking of putting up a WCG-wide *Attention - Achtung - Attenzione* to attract campers for this challenge,
fearing we could not match our dignified old host team - but since we're racing along like Blue Angels
I'll wait until Base Camp's GRAND GALLA SNURK CELEBRATION trek in September.
We don't ask for help, when it's not needed, do we?

- I don't get that, NixChix, did I really give you that ticket?
Not that you don't deserve it, it's just, well, normally I'm to the Scroogy side ... Did I do that?
I don't want the rest of the crew to feel slighted.
So what would you like of similar value to you as a Blue Angel trip is to NixChix? You have been to the Moon already. EuroDisney?

The crew currently consists of:
acpartsman
BladeD
davwhite5xq7

The badge we are earning is this:

If you out there want to join the fun, you're welcome.
♥ Willkommen ♥ Bienvenue ♥ Welcome ♥ to seasoned as well as novice Base Campers.

- my own photo July 2011 - it was very difficult to catch them even as they flew in relative slow motion
