Called my son's counselor to "discuss". Went to the courthouse to transfer a tag but have to wait two more days. Got a second key for a car. Got insurance switched. More to come.

rutroh-- hope all is well, Aladoc....

Oops. Sorry. 24C is 75F. Wasn't awake, obviously or didn't check what I had written before posting. Gosh.

heck, I wasn't challenging you-- I thought I was learning something...

I didn't think that for a second bk, that you were challenging me. Silly. I just messed up in a gross fashion.

0C=32F
5C=41F
10C=50F
15C=59F
20C=68F
Therefore, for every 1 degree Celsius you go up or down (above zero) you gain or lose 1.8 degrees Farenheit. No biggie. 5C would be a 9F increase in temperature.
They meet at -40 and then from then on the lower Celsius creates an even lower Farenheit reading. One day this winter with a slight windchill factor I was working outside when it was -65.6F!!! Believe me, you have a very strong motivation to hustle your butt at those temps. Freaking brutal.

hacked a terrorist computer entwork and assasinated their leader...












.......oh wait-- that was on XBox....

where the heck were you yesterday, when I was trying to figure out if a given thermistor <the ONLY one they stock at Radio Shack!> would suit my fan control needs in the Jeep?

Bloody bass-turds rate it at C. Might as well be written in Swahili....

Centigrade is the correct way

At work, Centigrade=Celsius and it's all good. Just know the conversions.

anyone we know or is it one of those things if you tell me you have to kill me.

no you didn;t.. i'm still here

Grilled pork chops in the rain. Or near the rain, as it were. Couldn't do it IN the rain, the charcoal would've gone out.

Had a couple beers, realized I'm WAY too tired to be drinking. Probably going to spend the rest of the evening after posting news watching TV and working on a pillow.

Had several long instructional conversations with co-workers and subordinates... still haven't finished my trip report!

:racks Mosberg 870:

hold still just a minute....

Sat in a meeting that went 45 minutes over (2.25 hours in total!). Worked on messy an HTML file. Had someone come back into my life that I thought was gone for good Went running. Called up my best friend's aunt-to-be to touch base about wedding shower stuff. Ate dinner. Did dishes and laundry. Watched 24. Phew.

WOke up, showered, ironed clothes for today, checked in here.

You have to get him to hold still even using a shotgun?? I think you're taking the month of "May" a little too seriously, bud. Bwahahhahahahahahahhaa.

The good news is, by the end of the month, your grip will be unmatched.

nah-- I'm just a proponent of the old axiom:

"Don't run-- you'll just die tired"...

EDIT: BTW-- in the Xbox world, the silenced sniper rifle is teh shiznit.

Zoom in on the opposition with the scope, zoom in once more to pick out a particular individual, and <tak>- he's down... and the rest of his squaddies just start looking around wondering what the heck happened to Igor.

Hmmm... perhaps I should try picking them off, back to front- see if the AI will realize they're under attack..

Nah, kelvin's the best. At least it's zero is on the right place.

I agree in theory, only 99.99% of folks haven't a clue what the Kelvin scale is or what it represents. Conversion from Kelvin to Centigrade or Farenheit? Hee hee, please refrain from such gut splitting jests.

took the dogs for the 2nd lime vaccine and a heartwork test on one.

Went to work and slump to the hours of boredom until I went to the bank to pay some bill. Got a nice surprise when the tiller can sign.....left the bank feeling quite satisfied!

began planning what I'd like to do with my office in the new house. I'm thinking a tropical decor, with the outside wall having an island view sort of setup on the wall- maybe some heavy canvas as a tapestry, with a beach scene painted on it. Better yet, a scrim with this preprinted if they aren't that expensive.

nothing too fru-fru- just something to relax in

Discovered my brother-in-law mowing the lawn when I woke up again, so went out and played with my nephew until he was done. Hatched a plan with him to plant some Rose of Sharon in the "field" (about 40 feet between me and the neighbour that we don't mow), that along with the other stuff already growing (some walnut, tulip trees, maples, and dogwood) will make a nice privacy thing, and also keep us from having to mow it under the new township ordinance.

Rest of the day will be busy after lunch. Laundry, putting some screens up, running to the office, grocery shopping, making potato salad, putting together some dinner...

revised all day

I need a job working outside as only looking out the window is annoying

Took my oldest to the Dr. for shots for an ear infection. Much screaming and crying involved.

And how did your son react? Kidding.

how can sticking needles in his legs help his ears

Wondered if this was "Return of the Exes" week

drove 420 miles round trip to Bristol again, gotta go monday as well, hard life really, especially as it was a glorious day today:)

while i was there put some furnature together... not really IT related..

Went to work and sat at in my cubicle all day coding. Strange as it may seem it is very satisfying to do that all day. Got a lot of stuff done today. Came home, got a call that I missed and ODK meeting. Doh! Oh well there will be more. Thinking about going in the hot tub later today.

Was involved in three meetings that monopolized my entire day...

Bought my bus/concert ticket to see Buffett in Chicago in August.

Good for you B!!!!!! Hope you have a grand time!!!!!

Thanks very much, I'm sure I shall. The woman at the bus company and I have decided we're going to look for husbands, since we're both going alone. Or, lacking that...new lovers. We figure there are worse things to have in common with someone.

Three busloads of people are going from here (family bus, light party bus, and party bus), we leave at 12:30pm for an 8pm show, $130 takes care of everything, including cheeseburgers and margaritas before we head out of town.

August 28 is forever away.

Holy Crap!!!! August 28th is my oldest daughter's birthday! Might make it good luck for you!

I'll take good luck...although not of the "oldest daughter" variety.

Lord, I'm bouncing off the walls. I'm gonna have to go to the bar later, I think.

Rain day, lazy day, did some contemplation and cogitating then got a headache. LOL. Kidding. Arrived at several decisions. Some good, some great, some not so good.

You're going on the family bus, right?

Attended a quarterly meeting today, which turned out better than I thought. I even won a gift certificate

But then after work, I stopped by the mall to meet my mom. Bad idea. I ended up splurging on some clothes. The only consolation I have is that it cost only $84 CAN for 2 tops, a bathing suit, and a jacket.

Got up sort Harvey out with some food....then start a feeble attempt at starting the day.....brrm...................brm brm............brrrrrm.........

Of COURSE I am!!! Me and a bunch of people who don't drink or smoke, riding 3-4 hours to see Buffett. HUGE fun!

So far, finishing touches to a Visio flow diagram for D.R

Woke up early to find out that I'm not starting work until later on due to the amount of rain yesterday.

-just about died laughing when I saw WDoll's new avatar <where the heck do you get these from???>

-downloaded Roboform <www.roboform.com> and am finally able to use something other than one password for the 30 different websites I visit that need them <mostly jeep stuff>. Check it out, folks-- good stuff! Used with a cheap thumbdrive, it's just about the best solution going for password management

Beth-- have a great time on the trip. I wish I'd thought about taking a party bus the last two shows I went to. I've recently found out a friend at work is a big parrothead, so we may have to go in on a rental of some sort next time.

Got my last pillow kit in this morning's mail...and realized the mail actually came before 4pm for once!

Realized that even though I cooked for about six hours yesterday, I don't feel like eating anything I cooked, so I had a bowl of cereal.

Deja vu...gathered the ladder, bucket, squeegee, boom box...and the thunderstorm started up again. Rain, rain, rain, rain...all the rivers and streams are flooding. Sounds and looks cool, though!

Nothing like having to restrain your child while the stick 2 needles in his legs. He at least got ice cream for lunch. [/QUOTE]

Bet it stopped him complaining about his ears for a while!

Seriously, hope he gets better ASAP.

Face it, 99.99% of folks haven't a clue about anything. So sod 'em!!

Went to the gym Checked and replied to email Reminded self to get concert tickets tomorrow

came back from lunch, wearing my usual hat: http://suncatcherhats.com/pics_barmah/1060.jpg <the brown one>

-one of the executive secretaries said I looked like I was going on safari <I carry my laptop in a small hiking rucksack, as I got tired of the airlines damaging $100+ laptop bags, and it's less apt to be stolen this way> with the hat and the backpack. I laughed, took off my hat, and told her I just do it because burning one's scalp is NO fun. She replied that with the hat and pack, she half expected me to have a Jeep outside ready to go....


my reply? "... well.... as a matter of fact...."
