Happy birthday Ric!!!

Not worried about it not having El Capitan, just want the battery to last (she is not good at noticing if there was something wrong with the battery). The box looked kinda dirty on one end So I imagine that it may have been in storage for a while. I'll probably wait to put El Capitan on it because I have to leave tomorrow and I'm just getting things set it for her now (and the internet here is like 2Mbps so even basic updates are taking a while). Do you see a reason that she needs to have El Capitan on it? It may be a while before I'm back.

I bought my mom a MacBook Pro Retina 13" (standard) from the Apple store for Christmas. I noticed that it didn't have El Capitan on it which means it was built at least 3 months ago and has been sitting around unused. In theory, it could have been built in March since that's when these came out. Do you think this will cause earlier failure of the battery? If so I can have my mom return it and I can order a custom order. I'm hoping this computer will last her a long time. I did notice that in the desktop it says the battery is now charged but if I go into the system information and look at power it says "fully charged: no" and "charging: yes" which seems weird. This concerns me since an exploding battery can be very dangerous.

Happy birthday Ken!

How dare they make you eat such things.

I had a bad week last week....

I had a bad week last week....

I guess I would've had a better chance beating Todd if I would have paid attention to my lineup this week (and not played 2 guys that were out).

I don't see myself doing the European Delivery unless I have another reason to go to Germany. Jet lag + driving long distances sound like sleepy time for me (not a great thing to do in a car). I'll try out the M235i though, it seems like a fun car and not super expensive.

My two favorite places in SLO when I was in college were Gus's groceries (good subs, cheap beer, and laidback atmosphere - it's back) and Firestone Grill (for the tri-tip sandwich) but they may not be so good to go to when it's raining (all the seating at Gus's is outside).

Great! I was wondering how you got such nice cars. Haven't decided what to buy since I haven't done any test drives. I was thinking of going with either a very basic Honda Accord V6 Coupe or Lexus IS 350 (not sure about the F Sport). Reading about leasing a car made it seem very complicated which is one reason I am not sure about getting the BMW M235i (also, there aren't very many around here and the people at the BMW dealers seem to all be dicks). I can't remember if there is anything else I was considering. Perhaps I should just get the Honda and when some nicks the car with their door or hits me from behind I won't be as upset.

I suppose I probably need to test drive some cars first. What about financing vs paying cash?

i really need a new car but dealing with dealers is not something I like to do (also I need to get my fender bender fixed before I can trade in my old car). I think I better do the pricing ahead of time. Any suggestions/hints are welcome.

I was thinking he might be Dean but maybe he was just interim Dean... Edit: Looking at the department's webpage, he seems to be Interim Associate Dean (and it seems Karen is the chair of the department). Still, no excuse!

Went by my old house to find out that someone had sent me a pecan pie for the holidays. Unfortunately, I hadn't been sitting on my front porch for a few days. Too bad since I like pecan pie.

Speaking of gymnastics, has anyone heard from Jim in a while? Maybe he drank some of Jeffy's Mattnog.

I get logged out all the time too. It started happening with the new forum software update.

^This.

Now I want some ramen.

The picture is horrible but the pizza was fantastic: butternut squash, brown butter bechamel sauce, mozzarella, pumpkin seeds, pomegranates, and kale. I need to get pizza with bechamel sauce more often.

I seriously doubt that flight was delayed because of snow in Houston (unless there was a big cocaine bust at the airport).

I don't know if it's the same* but it was delicious and I wish I had more. The egg in it was really awesome. *Probably is since I see they have one in Bellevue, WA. http://www.jinya-ramenbar.com/

Ramen at Jinya Ramen (no pics)... good choice for this rainy cold day.
