I hope you'll get out soon, and wish you a speedy recovery.

I practiced for the first time in almost a week (was busy all of last). It sounded like I took a big, fat, wet, runny dump. Don't try this at home, kids.

Sorry for your finger and you Nate. I hope it's just a cut needing a few stitches. Get well

Currently sitting in the ER waiting to get stitches in my left index finger. I attacked it earlier today with a hack saw.

Unfortunately I'm still sitting here.

Dude, that sucks. I hope you'll be out of there soon, if you haven't already.

As for what I did today, we went out to pick apples and we had ~40 pounds of apples in less than 40 minutes. Got home and, as Stretch has mentioned already, watched Boston teams lose their respective games.

Unfortunately I'm still sitting here.

Nate, sorry to hear about your finger. I hope you get out of there soon.

Best wishes Nate on a flawless recovery. Its impressive how you are also moderating head-fi still while sitting in the ER with a partially severed finger.

Sorry to hear about your finger Nate. Best wishes, and I hope you are out of the ER by now.

Worked the day shift in the ER. As I was leaving the hospital saw some guy with a cut on his finger bleeding all over his phone.

Man, that sucks Nate. I hope you get better soon.

What else was I supposed to do? I was just sitting there for about an hour and a half before anything happened. Finally home now, 7 stitches and a tetanus shot later.

Sorry about your finger, Nate. I hate finger cuts almost as much as any kind of head pain. Just seems to hurt more.

That truly sucks! First the cut, then the long wait in ER.

Wow! That must be some wound with the hacksaw. 7 stitches is a pretty large cut. Wishing you quick healing and fast recovery.

Sorry about the bad day Nate.

Pretty minor annoyance really, should be hard to tell that anything happened in a couple days when I can stop wearing the splint on the finger. Mostly I feel like a dumbass.

At least it wasn't a table or band saw. Here's hoping you recover quickly.

Ack, sorry to hear that Nate. Next time we need to fly Deepak to you. Probably would be shorter and more convenient (well, maybe not for Deepak). Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

As for us, we went to Governor's Island today for the final day before it closes for the season. We had fun.

Sorry to hear this Nate, charge amp customer double for putting your DNA signature on the amp. Get well soon.

Hack Saw Maher, getting ready for Halloween.

Sorry about that, Nate. Of course, getting seen in 1.5 hours in an ER around here would be record time but it still sucks to be sitting there

In high school I managed to cut my thumb with a table saw. I also managed to get just the meaty part, so no long term damage. It was a nasty cut tho, because table saws aren't dainty...

I spent my day at kids' sporting events. Thomas's travel hockey team played at 10, and won 8-0, then my daughter's rec league soccer team won 3-0, then this evening, Thomas's junior high team got slaughtered 8-0 (half his team had played 2 games today, and they only have 3 subs total)

Sorry to hear about your finger, Nate. Hope they give you prescription strength painkillers.

Not seeing what this would hope to accomplish.

Grouse camp continues to provide it's own set of surprises and thrills.

I can be color blind in certain situations, such as red on a dark background. This worked against me as I can't see the red (read empty) on the propane tanks. The furnace stopped working at 5:00 a.m. (28 degrees) yesterday morning and I figured out I had two empty 30lb propane tanks. Didn't see the red so was not aware I needed to refill the tanks.

This is a new location for me this year. Spent the day yesterday looking for appropriate habitat. Found 1000s of acres of jack pine which is great for the Kirtland Warbler, a protected species. Can find little evidence of the aspen bonasa umbellus prefers, but will keep searching. Spent time pouring over maps last night trying to determine logical locations to check out. Historically I'm not very good at this but we'll give it shot.

I have seen white tailed deer and serveral wild turkey flocks. Fall colors are stunning. Have the campground almost to myself which I prefer.

Life is good

Good luck on the grouse search. Even with all your trials and tribulations I envy you. I could use a nice hunting trip about now.

Not opamps, volume integrals. Or since the cats are already 3D, 4D integrals?

triple integral of c-a-t!
