Salt Peanuts

Went to Colorado Brewfest at Ft. Collins. Many tasty brews were had.

Happy Birthday!

Here's what has happened thus far - We were supposed to leave Boston at 10:40 am. The flight gets delayed multiple times due to mechanical and weather issues involving Boston and Chicago (from where our plane was flying). We finally depart Boston around 3:20 pm. About 10-20 minutes away from Denver, DIA puts us on holding pattern due to weather condition in Denver. We stay on holding pattern for 40 minutes or so when the captain tells us that we are heading to Lincoln, NE since we're running out of fuel and DIA won't let us land yet. We arrive at Lincoln (7.00 pm CDT) and find out that we need a new flight crew since the ones that had been flying are at their daily flight limit or something. Now we get to wait until 10.30 pm (CDT) for the new flight crew to take us to Denver. I'll believe it when my two feet are actually touching the ground of Denver. They (United) are giving us all a $250 coupon for our next flight we book with them within US in the next year. They're also putting us up in a hotel in Denver tonight (a lot of folks were flying to San Diego with layover in Denver) but I'll see if they'll instead pay for our cab fare as we already have a place to stay in Boulder. One silver lining is that there was a chance we would still be at home, trying to reschedule another flight tomorrow - I found out our flight was the last flight to leave from Boston today as they shut down Logan Airport since VP was flying in to Boston.

Sitting on my ass at the airport in Lincoln, NE. I should've been drinking beer in Boulder, CO six hours ago.

Doing - waiting at airport for our flight, which has now been delayed couple of times. It's looking like we'll be sitting here for 3 more hours. Joy.

Yep. It's going to my family, though. I usually get 500g myself, only because my tea tin isn't big enough to hold more than that.

1 kg of Genmaicha from Upton Tea Imports.

A carry-on luggage from LL Bean.

Man, this sucks Al. I hope you can get this repaired.

Happy Birthday!

Congrats, Ian, and good luck with your new job!

Happy Birthday, Lily!

It's this one - TK3 Model Trebuchet. It's closer to being a desktop model than a backyard model, but it's supposed to be able toss a projectile over 40 feet - got them for part of groomsmen gifts. They also offer much bigger backyard models - [url=http://www.trebuchet.com/10101]Floating Arm Trebuchet

I love Maine Coons. My parents have one who is pretty big, though she isn't quite as big as yours. Our Maine Coon, on the other hand, is a tiny little thing, though she'll probably fill out a bit more as she's only year old.

...and he doesn't even have to deal with not having consistent character from one episode to another.

3 small backyard (~2') trebuchets.

Congrats!

2 HDMI cables from BJC.

PS3 does have an analog out - just use the included MultiAV cable and set it up so that audio is outputted through it. I do just that with my PS3 since I don't have a receiver with HDMI or optical input, while video is sent to the TV via HDMI.

Went pretty well, we think. At least they were talking a lot. In either case, our parents, especially the mothers, were happy that they were able to meet before our wedding in couple of weeks.
