One of the few remaining T605s from Kenworth’s aborted wide cab engineering evaluation program from the early 2000s.
Prompted on World Parrot Day, and with the extraordinary co-operative effort of the photographer, here we have a rare find.
This kākāpō chick was in the able care of hands from the Kākāpō Recovery Program . The photographer was the enthralled witness to this scene.
Please don't ask for more details as refusal may offend…or I might have to cook my own dinner.
Pronunciation tip: it sounds like car-car-paw
I'm sure I have seen this before somewhere; however, as I was walking through the streets in rainy Portland, this one resonated with me. I laughed out loud and went on my way happier for finding it.
I'm easily amused.

A team prepares NASA’s Psyche spacecraft for launch inside the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Dec. 8, 2022. Psyche will launch atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy. Launch is targeted for no earlier than Oct. 10, 2023. The spacecraft will use solar-electric propulsion to travel approximately 1.5 billion miles to rendezvous with its namesake asteroid in 2026. The Psyche mission is led by Arizona State University. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed for the agency by Caltech in Pasadena, California, is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and testing, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, California, provided the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis. NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP), based at Kennedy, is managing the launch.

There's just three steps between you and the new you.
You too can be like me.
But not me, you! A new you, a you that's just like me in every single perceivable way, but still being you without needing to give up on being you to be exactly like me - if you see what I mean. Like me, but you, without losing you in the beauty of a frame like me. Meyou if you like. Or maybe Youme - rhymes with tomb. Catchy.
Anyway... I digress.
You too can be like me!
It's a simple three step program with just four easy to follow steps.
Step 2: Keep repeating step one four times every 17 minutes.
Step 3: Get yourself a new black book - you're gonna need it gorgeous!
step 4: Go back to step two you lazy good for nothing parasite that comes here trying to steal my three step body beautification program without even asking for my phone number or asking me out on a date and it's been a long time since I had a date with anyone except that last guy that tried to lick my ear after I accidentally got mayonnaise in it and I learnt that he actually just wanted to steal my beatification program that is going to make me rich and make the world a more beautiful place where kittens will have to fight hard to keep their (undeserved) position as the leaders in the beauty thing that I rightly am destined to be the leader of and people will invite me to all of their important parties and all of the beautiful people shall say how beautiful I am and I shall nod politely but in my secret bedroom behind my fake bedroom I shall laugh and laugh and mock how sad it must be to be beautiful but not quite as beautiful as I because I have been crowned to be the most beautiful in the whole widest world of the word and they are just a hollow shell that makes a dull empty thud of a noise if you were to strike it with the silver spoon that they were raised sucking.
Yes.
I may have digressed.
Er...
Might need to work on the steps... but er... follow my beautification program! Deep down, you know beauty is the new you! Unless, of course, you're already beautiful, in which case you probably might want to look at the refund policy carefully, and then Ha! Surprise... I win!
Anyway, I know you'd love to:

Tigger helping me with programming my color library manger program. ("Pair programming" is a methodology where two programmers use one computer to write programs. It's as odious as it sounds and is just one of the silly, trendy things that managers love to do to show how much they "get" programmers.)
Aerothermodynamic Structural Vehicle 1 (ASV-1), part of the Aerothermodynamic/Elastic Structural Systems Environmental Tests (ASSET) Program, is seen being prepared for its September 18, 1963 launch from Launch Complex 17B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
I really like the following article, at the White Eagle Aerospace website, written by J. Terry White. Maybe that's why they disabled/blocked the ability to copy/paste from it:
"…the first ASSET flight test vehicle (ASV-1) successfully flew 1,600 nm down the Eastern Test Range (ETR) following launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Boosted atop a Thor launch vehicle, the hypersonic glider reached a maximum velocity of 10,900 mph (Mach 12).
The Aerothermodynamic/Elastic Structural Systems Environmental Tests (ASSET) Program was a United States Air Force flight research effort aimed at exploring hypersonic lifting entry. Programmatic objectives included evaluation of hypersonic lifting vehicle (1) reentry aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic phenomena (2) structural design concepts, and (3) panel flutter characteristics and body flap oscillatory pressures.
The basic ASSET vehicle configuration was a 70-deg delta planform wing with highly-radiused leading edges. The windward surface of this wing was flat and had a 10-deg break in slope roughly two-thirds of the way back from the nose. A blunted cone-cylinder combination was raked into the leeward surface of the wing to form the fuselage of the vehicle. The aft portion of the vehicle was terminated with a flat base region.
There were two (2) types of ASSET flight vehicles. The Aerothermoelastic Vehicle (AEV) variant was flown to investigate windward panel flutter characteristics and body flap oscillatory pressures. A pair of these vehicles were flown. Each weighed AEV weighed 1,225 Ibs and was launched into a suborbital flight path by a Douglas Thor booster.
The Aerothermodynamic Structural Vehicle (ASV) variant was flown to determine external airframe surface temperature, heat flux and pressure distributions in hypersonic flight. These data were used to evaluate materials and structural concepts under reentry conditions. A quartet of these vehicles were flight tested. Each ASV weighed 1,130 Ibs and was boosted by a Thor-Delta launch vehicle.
ASSET vehicles were boosted to altitudes between 168 KFT and 225 KFT depending on mission type. AEV entry insertion velocity was roughly 13,000 ft/sec while that for ASV shots varied between 16,000 and 19,500 ft/sec. ASSET performed hypersonic flight maneuvers via a combination of aerodynamic and propulsive controls. The windward-mounted body flap was the lone aerodynamic control surface while a set of 3-axis attitude control thrusters were located in the vehicle's base region.
The first flight of the ASSET Program (ASV-1) took place on Wednesday, 18 September 1963. ASV-1 lift-off occurred at 09:39 UTC from Cape Canaveral's LC-17B. Due to booster availability issues, a Thor DSV-2F launch vehicle was used for this mission rather than the higher energy Thor-Delta DSV-2G. Insertion altitude and velocity were 203,200 ft and 16,125 ft/sec, respectively. The ASV-1 mission was highly successful with the exception that the vehicle was lost when it sunk in the South Atlantic during recovery operations.
ASV-1 represented the first time in aerospace history that a lifting vehicle configuration had successfully flown a double-digit Mach number reentry trajectory. Five (5) more ASSET vehicles would fly before completion of the flight research program. The sixth and last mission occurred on Tuesday, 23 February 1965.
The ASSET Program garnered a wealth of first-ever hypersonic vehicle aerodynamic, aerothermodynamic, aerothermoelastic and flight controls data. This priceless information and the valuable experience gained during ASSET contributed significantly to the design and flight testing of the PRIME SV-5D and Space Shuttle Orbiter.
Strangely, only one of the ASSET flight test articles was ever recovered successfully. In particular, ASV-3 was recovered following its 1,800 nm suborbital flight down the Eastern Test Range on Wednesday, 22 July 1964. The recovered airframe is currently on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio."

I'm going to leave the following for a while longer, because I'm pretty damned torqued:
I HAD MY USUAL INFORMATIVE, VALUE-ADDED DESCRIPTION HERE - ABOVE, WHICH I HAD TO YET AGAIN, PAINSTAKINGLY FINAGLE - WITH A LINK TO ANOTHER PERTINENT & INFORMATIVE WEBSITE (BELOW).
HOWEVER, SINCE THE PART-TIME “DEVELOPERS”/IT SUPPORT BUFFOONS AT FLUCKR CONTINUE TO BE COMPOSED OF STONED (LIKE “MANAGEMENT”), INCOMPETENT & LACKADAISICAL MORONS, AND IT WENT "POOF".
AND NOW THERE'S THE UTTERLY PATHETIC MOBILE UPDATE. OBVIOUSLY NOT MEANT FOR IPHONES...A TOTAL, COMPLETE, UNMITIGATED FLUCKING DUMPSTER FIRE. WHAT THE FLUCK ARE YOU FLUCKING STUPID FLUCKR FLUCKSTICKS DOING?!?!?!?!
GET YOUR FLUCKING SNOT/RUNNY-NOSED HEADS OUT OF YOUR COLLECTIVE (DUMB) ASSES!!!!!!!!!!
FLUCKR HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY MEDIOCRE - THE MOBILE APP ESPECIALLY - FOR AWHILE, BUT AGAIN, CONSISTENTLY AT LEAST. HOWEVER, NOW YOU FLUCKING FLUCKR ASS-CLOWNS HAVE MANAGED TO MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY ABYSMAL!!!!!
AND I'M PAYING FOR THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
UN-FLUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!
