The Monkey

I hate bike riding.

n/m, figured it out. Miata.: palmtoface:

Wow. I am very fond of that car. What is it?

Awesome.

Very sad news.

1s and 0s.

Naaman, godspeed. I wish you didn't have to go, but we're behind you (seriously--way way behind you:)). And I look forward to celebrating your safe return. Let us know if there's anything we can send you while you're there (if you can receive stuff). Stay safe, and thank you.

Yeah, it'll all be ok. Thanks for the kind words, gang. Today, I just tried to avoid my fellow Irishmen, god bless 'em. So many Long Island teens. So much vomit.

We should all grow mustaches. (Or wear fake ones for those of us who can't.)

Trudat. It appears there's not an option to just enter first name, so I guess I'll write it in.

Are you guys putting your names on your badges?

He did not, and you are right. Thank god someone around here is looking out for my health. MOAR WINE!

I don't know anything about that Meridian, but if Al says it's good, then congrats. Does it have special things inside of it?

Knee is ok. Knee guy said some wear on the right side, but nothing terrible. Looks like the swelling and pain is Lyme-related. So headed to my regular doctor who said that since I've already had Lyme, it's tough to get a real positive because I'll generally test positive forever. Anyhoo, they'll put me on the antibiotics and that should knock it out. Then he started in on me about my (very high) cholesterol and scared the bejesus out of me, which is good in the long run, but feels shitty today. So, decent short term news. And need to make long term changes, which makes me feel sad and guilty. EDIT: Apparently they can "shoot lubricant" into the knee for the wear & tear I have. That sounds cool.

Herbie's Grounding Bases.

^ Nice!

My parents have a place in East Hampton, which is infested. I'll be fine; I'm more worried about my son. We'll get him checked on Wednesday.

Practice.

Spoke to the knee doctor who told me that...I have Lyme disease. Fucking ticks.

This is cool. Science, DIY, and danger! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I predict that Nums will get it right. And promptly thereafter, in a drunken celebratory dance, he'll knock those fuckers over.

That sounds like a really gross casserole.

Yeah, but try as you might, they still sneak out the window at night to do the unspeakable with other 'stats.

The 'stats are really sleeping around these days.
