While refinishing the hardwood floors, he puzzled over an oddly shaped stain, then realized it was from some putz working on an auto tranny. |
Back from dinner/drinks with friends, whose former house we now occupy. He's a handy sort, and left us with a very nice place indeed. |
@cyclelicious I like my little Eee PC, but it is tough to type on, and being a 20-year Mac user, the Linux thing can be a bit confusing. |
@Interbike The lads are trying to nail this one down, but it's difficult. Shorthanded, and If people don't wanna talk, you can't make 'em. |
@Interbike Mr. Ball is being uncharacteristically quiet, no? Vow of silence? Laryngitis? Shoe stuck in his throat? |
Bush league: Obama must be starting to feel like Flounder when Otter pelted him with groceries during a Food King run in "Animal House." |
Just realized I was talking to myself here about netbooks. Duh. Feel free to heap on the abuse; you won't be getting a cherry. |
You can see the 2007 Eee PC 701 here, parked next to a 12-inch G3 800MHz iBook for scale: http://maddogmedia.com/iboo... |
Keypad is an issue, though. I'm not a touch typist, and I feel like a gorilla trying to play a child's piano whenever I use the thing. |
@cyclelicious I have an Asus Eee PC 701, and it's kinda fun. Linux, webcam, Skype, OpenOffice: like a smart phone with a thyroid problem. |
@TimJackson Herself set up a MySpace deal for me some time ago, but I've been avoiding it in favor of I'mSpaced, which is less Web 2.0. |
Also spreading my batlike wings — I'm now on Facebook and Linkedin, which goes to show that I have far, far too much free time on my hands.... |
Drinking Frog tonsil varnish and making an organic version of Mom's meat loaf, with a side of salad, mashed spuds and Brussels sprouts. |
You think it sucks to pull on tights and long-sleeves to run at 30 degrees until you jog past some homeless dudes shivering under a bridge. |
Trying to work up the fortitude to pound ground for a frosty hour before a dental appointment. I'm not exactly a lion in winter. |
@carltonreid 'Merkin accent? I dunno whatchoo tawkin' 'bout, buddeh. |
@carltonreid There are eejits in the mother country too? You oughta see the ones we have in the Colonies. Ours often misspell their bylines. |
Later I'll add the spuds and carrots. Cold weather calls for comfort food, and we've been a little light on the beefy goodness here lately. |
I'm cooking a pot roast: 4.5 lbs. of boneless chuck, braising in onions, garlic, roasted tomatoes, red-wine vinegar, water & brown sugar. |
Fun 30-degree, 40-minute jog to Monument Valley Park and back, locating all the filthy terrorist cells of black ice for future reference. |
