Didn't you need to do that anyway? Doesn't the snow blower have an upper limit?

The rain got into spaces that the sun could not. Plus, it rinsed off my car.

Drove home in it around 2am -- it was nothing.

The problem with that is that you're not operating with optimal parameters.

Where is that, an Apple store? And yes, Dusty approves and subscribes to this thread.

That's very cool, I love the cause (and yes, I misread the title initially as well). We actually have a cool place down here in Arlington called "Lost Dog Cafe" which works similarly, on an ongoing basis. Also, pretty good beer selection on tap and good pizzas.

That's weird, weather.com is reporting the temperature rising overnight -- I usually look to see when the temperature is to hit 32 degrees Fahrenheit, then try to time it so that my travel time is either right before then, or well after. Any idea when it's supposed to turn to ice? I should probably leave at 9, neh?

Srsly.

It's more the temperature than the snow, so I would base your decision on that. 20 is still below freezing, so the question becomes how long will it remain below freezing.

That Indigo is gorgeous, Shelly.

Shouldn't there be a way to adapt the Grado circuit to this?

We're supposed to get ice and freezing rain.

This.

Went out to (my) breakfast/(their) lunch w/ mypasswordis and luvdunhill -- it was nice. There was some discussion of headphones or someshit? WTF? Dew et! Or actually, read the script first. Or find out who the other players are first. I guess it depends on whether or not you're actually interested in getting into Hollywood -- my sister does, so she takes pretty much every job she's offered (she does costuming). And yes, she has said many times that they always want to shoot twice as long, for twice as much as the budget and/or schedule they have, although I don't think she's ever uttered the words "...of biblical proportions", so it sounds like your experiences are worse than hers.

Finished those four books within a week of each other. Also finished reading: Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong -- I wept openly. Packs a wallop of a punch towards the end. Couldn't put it down for the last 1/4 of the book or so.

I lollered.

I think you also have to embrace the punnage -- I liked it.

I can't think of a reason to make me stand out. I was thinking, "I have two cats, so we could see how cat-proof that is", but I suspect even that wouldn't work out so well. So yes, put me in the jealous camp.

I actually have an amp for that -- if I can find the power supply, we can try it out tomorrow. And I have an adapter, but it's at work, but if you remind me to bring it home (along with the Koss Pro 4AAAAAAAAAAAFonziAAAAAAAAA), you're welcome to look at both/either.

Yeah, the Vaio isn't a gaming machine by any stretch of the imagination -- it's sort of like a crossover (and by that, I mean bicycle or car) -- it's at that awkward point between a full on SUV/mountain bike and a regular car/regular bicycle that make a lot of people wonder who the target market for that is, but I am that target market (ironically, I have both a crossover bike and a ... alright, my car isn't even a crossover, it's a crossover between a car and a crossover).

Missing Elf Double Bock -- meh, not bad.

Not all coolers in pre-built computers are shitty -- the one in my Vaio is pretty outstanding.

Titles are earned, not bought.

The lume on that one looks just outrageous. I never got my other Ocean7 before I stopped buying watches. Yes, I am more-or-less cured of said disease.

By 'radiation', I presume you mean RF radiation? Because I don't see anything in there that merits nuclear radiation symbols, nor do I think the screening would help in that case. Are you going to the point of microwaves and photo-electric effect? Because if so, I want pitchers. You'll have to figure out a way to do that too without destroying the camera. Yes, I said that while resisting the temptation to include the words "arcy" and "sparky" in there.
