Oysters Kilpatrick. (Grilled with bacon and Worcestershire sauce.)

Thanks all! Since we did not make it to the Peak District walking as a result of the Arctic invasion of our weather, Carole took me to the Hand and Flowers, a 2 Michelin star restaurant. It is so unpretentious - Tom Kerridge, the founder and head chef wanted essentially a pub atmosphere that sold superb food. First one is Lovage soup, croutons and smoked eel, second is celeriac soup. Then the Hand and Flowers signature - fish and chips (triple cooked chips/fries, pea puree and tartare sauce), and finally the thing that looks like Saturn is white chocolate shells filled with rhubarb, candied ginger and raspberry sorbet. I think there was some pieces of chocolate cake in there too. We had a good day!

They've missed me. Also it's good to see the shelter is used as intend.

I come to my home town today. If someone said "you are going to miss this place" a year ago, I'd not believe that. In Istanbul, noone ever make eye contact when you are passing by them. In here I couldn't walk 100 meters without saying "hello". I really love Tavşanlı... Soon I'm going to send genuine Tavşanlı roasted chickenpeas to you! As a gift ofc.

Turns out what are finishing passes in aluminum are not the same in Delrin. Everything surprisingly fits exactly though, except I made the holes on the other side about .1mm too small. I checked with some stax plugs and it fits those nicely too.

I've done a little jabbing in the dark.

Thanks everyone. The day is going great. Despite the inches of rain received yesterday and semi-hurricane-like winds I still managed to get out on the MTB bike today. And I'm now properly rehydrating before heading out to dinner with the family.

What can you say about our Nate? He's been with us for quite some time now. But I still remember that young man starting out in life, optimistic about the future... Then a little time went by and young Nate became Papa Nate. And beautiful Lily was brought into the world. Proud Papa Nate... Then a little more time went by and Papa Nate bore a Son, oh so cute little Andrew... And the happy family was formed... There was the inevitable lack of sleep, and the aging process happened, as it does to all of us... But let's all wish Nate a very Happy Birthday, and just hope that he never goes through a drastic change, and starts hanging with a bad crowd... The Happiest of Birthdays to you, Papa Nate!!!

Big hit! Later that day ... Best meal of my life I think. Not a single miss. #blesstuffed

Drove out to the coast this morning to see how things looked at high tide. The sea was angry. The waves were pushing 10-15', certainly larger than I've ever seen on the NH coast, and doing some significant damage. The coastal road was only open for about a 1/4 at this particular high spot. The flooding on either side was impressive.

I forgot to tell you when I was there, but about two blocks from your house, I discovered this thing they call a store. It's magical (must be from the future), but you can walk inside and purchase thousands of different items.

There's No Place Like Home

Happy Birthday Nate! Hope you had a fun ride and excellent day!

To a fellow civil/structural engineer, happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Nate! Hope you enjoyed the day

Rush – 2112 Prince – Purple Rain ... a little late to the party

Happy Birthday, Nate!!!! I'm glad you're having a wonderful day. Stay dry (in the outside)

You want me to drink coffee from CVS? I thought you were my friend.

Steve, that's because you and your people are right-brain and can't deal with technical concepts. Except for Leonarda Da Vinci, that is, and he was really an alien.

My Parents? Hell, I could absolutely astonish you with my own tech fails!

Nothing significant here. The rain quit around 5pm last night and from then on it's just been wind and nothing super extraordinary at that. Sounds like the coast got hammered though, with lots of coastal flooding which may not be over yet with another super high tide predicted for noon today. We saw our highest recorded tide in a long, long time yesterday at work which is saying something since we just did the same in January during the last bomb-cyclone (brah). And no hanging 10 for me, Stretch. I'd like to stay off the Darwin Awards list this year.

I don't have a HD800's now but I can get a set to try out at some point. I do have the HD650's so I'll try them out later when I find some time...

Chilean sea bass, fries & Jasmine rice

Meanwhile ... All is revealed ... Early Days, they have just opened, so ... They do drinks ... But it’s a bit overcast today, hence the tea / coffee from next door.Nice layout I think I’ll be back Might try the fish & chips next time

I just finished building the uTracer 3+. Works nice. Needless to say I spent the day yesterday measuring tubes.

Last night Stretch and I met the elusive @riceboy at SFJAZZ for drinks and a show last night. We saw Abdullah Ibrahim do a tribute to Hugh Masekela's band Jazz Epistles. The octet last night did two hours and fifteen minutes straight with many solos, repeated refrains, and Ibrahim just didn't seem willing to stop, even his insistence that all the other members took multiple bows at the end. It was good stuff from great musicians and not one word was said. We had a snort of Laine's smooth as silk Glen Grant 18 you while walking down the street to Absinthe for a late supper to cap a very nice evening. It was great to finally meet you Laine! Now don't be a stranger virtually on HC or IRL!

L?k, it’s a soot sprite.

Well, that was fascinating. There were people there who had indeterminate but massive wealth. Founders of hedge funds, international road and infrastructure construction, bankers and so forth. The Countess Wessex was both charming (she was in PR before she married Edward) and disarming. I had the whole "Your Royal Highness" thing worked out in my head, but she totally threw me by coming into an entrance behind me, and I was the first person she saw in a full room - put her hand out for a handshake and said "Hello - delighted you could come". You could almost hear me brain rattling around wondering what had just happened; I think I babbled something. Carole said "Yes - that is absolutely typical of her. She is completely not up herself, unlike Prince Charles who gets really upset if you don't follow protocol" The house was built in the 1880's for Queen Victoria's youngest son, who died in the 1940's, after which the house spend long periods unoccupied, and of course progressively degraded. Took several million to restore. We had dinner in The India Room, which is lined with carved paneling in the Indian style. Actually everyone was really good company. Had a chat with Susan Hampshire, who has aged really well (no facial work), and still has the glorious honey-like voice from TV and film. Impossible to think she's now 80. It was only afterwards that it was found that five of the ultra-wealthy had chipped in £25k each, and two substantially more. Sort of as loose change. One guy, a self made man from Mauritius, has pledged to become a philanthropic fund raiser for Brendoncare. Quite an evening!

This is what slow motion photography is for—capturing fails in all their glory. 2:47 is where I start laughing, but start at 2:33 for the lead-in. And yes, it’s a party favour full of dusty chalk. So, doublepluswin.

We had a post match team dinner there and I must say the food was awful. The ribs,brisket and chicken tasted like regional airport food. I would not recommend this place to anyone. But on a somewhat brighter note, Lance with his team mate Ilya.

Tips For Treating A Bed Bug Infestation Bed bugs are a common issue, especially in cities, and getting rid of them can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. The Onion presents tips for treating a bed bug infestation. Come to terms with the fact that your body is but a warm, meaty trough. Open your window and shout, “Somebody, please, help me!” Wear thick, long-sleeved pajamas to bed so that the bugs are nice and warm. Try luring the bed bugs away by placing a trail of furniture leading out of your apartment. Use reverse psychology on the bed bugs by sleeping in your bed anyway and constantly talking out loud about how comfortable you are. Get a mattress-sized plastic bag with airtight sealing; sleep in it from now on. Accept that bed bugs are one of the less glamorous parts of living in a big city, like riding the subway and failing to achieve your dreams. During fumigation, make plans to spend the week in your non-bed-bug-affected home. Make sure the exterminators keep one bed bug alive so that you can send it away with firm instructions to tell the others what it saw.

Played a holiday concert last night at the Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga. Kids came out to watch. Good night. So tired. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
