Happy birthday!

Al and Marc, I appreciate the toast(s) That really thoughtful of you.

Sounds like a good night. I have a bottle of that rum. My family actually knows the people who "make" it. It's actually custom mixed for them at the Foursquare Rum Factory I believe.

So noted. I'm not big on slagging anyone based on rumor and innuendo so you feel free to continue and I will feel free to counterpoint you.

I'm not defending him. I think he's a piece of shit personally but that said I think "journalism" like that is just as bad or worse. I was interested in the story if it had been true (and may still be) and wanted a source.

Yeah it's NOT a good source. Soros is no angel but that's a story that's being deliberately sold as bull shit (until proven). Every single reference to it frames it as a question and then states right at the very end that sources state he wasn't involved but not before talking about how much money he made etc..... fucking BS "push" "journalism" at it's best. Also oddly all sources lie outside the "lamestream" media.

^ source? I tried to find one and was unsuccessful.

^agreed. it was a depressing morning ritual of catching up on the news on my phone before getting out of bed....

Another squeezebox radio for the nursery with remote etc.

Cheap iMac for the academic types around: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/08/discount-education-only-imac-appears-makes-you-wish-youd-opene/

Go smoothly? Edit: this was about the dryer install.

^ let me know how it goes as I am going to be going through the same process (barring the f'ing mortgage company doing something stupid) in a few weeks. I rode my bike for 4.5 hours and had a great time just riding solo even set a personal best for average speed and power for that time. Now I can eat whatever I want as I've burned 3000+ calories for the day.

Personally I f'ing hate the fact that I have to invest in the market and have no choice in the matter. I'd much prefer a bloody savings account but the way the tax code is setup I can invest and lose 30+% and still end up better off than I stated and that's without my works match (which isn't great)..... The whole market is like gambling down to the fact the house always wins.

Glad you found something she likes. I got my wife hers just before I graduated from grad school so it isn't too big but she loves it which is all that matters )

Congrats on the rocks. That's a lot of rock )

Congrats!

^ that's really crappy man

Thanks Al. I figured it was a "Firefox" thing and searched for that. Then I realized that I should have searched for "saving post".

Pretty good weekend myself with just over 5hrs of riding between 2 rides for the first time in months. Felt really good to be back out until some random fucker on my group ride on Sunday tried to pass on the inside and knocked me off my bike and into a sign post on the side of the road. Luckily I was able to stop myself before I went headfirst into it without breaking my shoulder blade but I'm pretty sore in my hand and shoulder. Still glad I went for the ride though.

Not sure if this has been covered or not but when in Firefox 5 I reply to a thread it just sticks at "saving post" and when I hit refresh the post has gone through. Any ideas? Edit: Scratch that, it worked perfectly this time...?

Ric, that sucks big time. I saw your post a while ago but figured that it would soon be followed with a JH fixed it post and since others had already posted I kept quiet. Again, that sucks big time.

Hope things improve Larry. That's a very sough situation.

Another bike computer/power meter to replace the one I messed by being a dumbass and trying to fix something minor and causing a escalation of things going wrong ending in my needing a replacement. Luckily the company is going to replace it for $170 vs the $600 it would cost. I've even gotten the messed up one working again so I can have it as a very strange looking backup. Two bike computers (for different uses) in a week.....

Home Depot for some light bulbs first thing. Then Vlad came over to hang out and talk about music which was fun. Then went for an ungodly hot bike ride. All in all a good day.
