Caulked around our bathtub. Caulking itself wasn't as bad as I expected, though removing the old caulk was a pain.

Any of these fine folks www.peopleofwalmart.com in attendance?

A few Westy look-a-likes to be sure.

Visited the MOT-sponsored thread on HF a few times to see if the Slim pre-order was up yet, not being certain how fast the 1st 100 special warranty spots will be taken.

Still not completely sold on a portable amp versus just a simple DAP for walking around, but this one would pair well with the 1st gen iMod Nano; be a smaller combination than the Pico by itself.

Was doing the same thing myself, though I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to get one. I've had multiple portable amps in the past and I've always found them to be more hassle than anything else. What makes me want the Pico Slim is the range of volume control it would offer with JH13's, as I get very little range with my DAPs and I can't even listen to them through Duet's headphone out due to too much noise.

This is from Thursday, that was one heck of a turkey if I do say so myself:

This was from a few minutes ago. Needless to say, my dogs went nuts when they saw it:

Color me jealous, Mike. I've been wanting to do that for few years now - maybe I'll manage to convince my in-laws for the next year.

I made two 10 pounders with a dry rub recommended by Dan. It was a big hit. I'm not sure we will ever roast a turkey again, which made my mother in law very happy. We went to a friends house today for the Gator v. 'Noles game and he fried a turkey. Despite T'giving two days earlier, I was not sick of turkey, it was so good.

Turkey-win Mike.

What's the animal? Raccoon?

Opossum. It's a marsupial native to North America.

I would have guessed iPod... oh never mind.

As for me spent the morning retrieving Christmas decorations from the attic. Now I know what it feels like to have worked in a West Virginia coal mine at the turn of the century.

The damn thing was showing it's teeth to the dogs who were too stupid to know that it can probably do some harm and possibly have rabies. Of course, then I stood there and took pics of it.

Our dogs absolutely loved 'possums. They loved to play tug-of-war with them, a little messy, but good times. A little harder with one dog now but 'possum tossing is a close second.

To stay on topic, I did my best impression of Clark Griswald today.

Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

I wonder how fried possum would taste?

You have plenty of opossum's locally. Just invite Mike up with his cooker and you can find out for yourself.

got up at 4am so that I could get to the rink in time to get thomas to warmups while still getting my work done

His team won with a buzzer beater at 0.7 seconds.

Then I did the score sheet for the other game in his division.

Went home, slept for an hour.

Got a call saying the work I was supposed to do at 4pm was ready to be done at noon, so I drove like crazy to get to the office.

Got there, found out they weren't ready yet. Hung out for an hour.

Finally was able to start my work. Helped make sure one of the guys that works for me was up and running. Then went about fixing my own setup. Had some disk trouble, gave up for a bit, went and had sushi with Mr. Chawk. That was a good thing.

Get back to the office, work for an hour, realize the problem was 1/3 of my disks were still switched off.

Fix that problem, head home. Watch caps win in a buttman special (shootout). Good, but kinda like kissing your aunt.

Opened a box with an RCM in it, and another box with 2 bottles of cigar city beer in it. Thanky mr lawyer sir.

Now I'm drinking homebrew.

A good day one feels

A frustrating day, but lots of good in it

Good is gooder when it comes in cancellation against negative forces.

Only if you come along to help with the wine pairing.

I do believe one drinks moonshine while enjoying opossum.

That is only if the opossum is road kill.

Well...at least you figured out what it was.

Yes, the sushi was, indeed, superb. I usually get really good sushi, I had forgotten how long it had been since I had really excellent sushi.

I ended up not drinking the homebrew right away, but I don't want to let it sit around for too long, correct (the bottling thing)? Or is this one of those cases where the longer I let it sit around the better (fermenting)?

Interestingly, there was zero drinking and zero talk of alcoholic beverages.

Only if you come along to help with the wine pairing.

That's easy. Since it would be such a festive occasion, I suggest Andre Cold Duck. Any vintage will do.
