So, a couple of days ago, on my birthday (which I deleted from my profile...ha ha ha ha ha!) I get this box. I knew it was coming 'cuz Kevin G. asked me my for my address but wouldn't tell me what was up. I open it up...and what do I find? This! Nice t-shirt...sadly very appropriate...I laughed long and hard. Been gaining weight, damit. Many of my Hawaiian shirts are not fitting very well. Don't know if Wink actually noticed that or not, but the little dude done me right!!! In the box were numerous Hawaiian shirts, all of which appropriately sized for my ample proportion. Thanks buddy. Been watching down at the Costo for Hawaiian shirts and they haven't been coming up this year. I was wondering what to do...you fixed it good. Thanks mate!!!

5 hour sous vide rib eye (120f). seared on 500f cast iron. holy shit that's good.

Thanks. Yeah, we had one that hasn't worked out so well (though fortunately hasn't been tested too often) and likely buying a Protect-a-Bed shortly. Worst segue ever... trying various mattress types led to a conversation last night which led to a Reddit thread which led to the below chart. Not sure how accurate, but for those curious about non-sleeping activities...

This thread made my day after a long day at work. And, of course, happy belated birthday, Tyll!

Winter is coming. Is it wrong to say that I know say k'nighit when describing the horses in chess? It was bound to happen sooner or later. I have pronunced the K in Knife since I was like 15. Because. That's why.

This image sums up this meet. Not kidding. We were all listening to Felipe's K1000, amazed by how good it sounded and then realized that it was a 128Kbps MP3 playing.

A very happy birthday to Penelope's dad.

If you're that stoned Ric, be sure and watch The Munsters.

Glad you caught me with my patented "Who Farted" look on display. Regardless of how I looked, I've been having a great time this year and I was very happy to see Ric. It's been great chatting with Craig and his wife. It's been way too long.

Just in case you were in need of such a thing...... This is the greatest thing since deodorizing litter: The Our Pets WonderBowl Selective feeder http://www.amazon.com/OurPets-WonderBowl-Selective-Pet-Feeder/dp/B00C1BYETO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408160857&sr=8-1&keywords=wonder+bowl There, or at drsfosterandsmith.com (from whence I stole the picture) Cat wears an infrared pendant key thingie and his/her private bowl opens just for him or her. We've had two of them - for Enigma and Jazz - for a few months now. And it actually works! Everybody gets their own food. We know who's eating what. Life is good. Donut still has a regular bowl. He was the one who was getting bigger while the girls were getting tinier, so he's not in need of reserved food. I wish the pendant was smaller, but the cats don't seem to mind at all. It took a while to teach Enigma to use it, but she taught Jazz in an afternoon. Battery life on the bowl has been excellent. Battery life on the pendants has been OK, but to be fair, who knows what kind of ratty batteries they sourced as OEM. (our D-cells for the bowl, OEM 2032 for the pendant)
