grawk Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Cheered Thomas on as he did a ropes course with his team. In stark contrast to last time, he enjoyed the high events, finished everything he had time to, and his team actually completed all the low challenges.

morphsci Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Got up at 6:30, everyone got assembled and we went to soccer, then went to the coffeehouse for pick-me-ups, then to swimming, then home to drop off stuff and pick stuff up, then off to birthday party number one where I followed along at our sons first miniature golf game, then cake and opening of presents, off to birthday party number two, watching kids try to destroy the worlds toughest pi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Went up to the folks' and did some repair on my hardtop... TJ Unlimited hardtops go for $1,100 - $1,300 used in this neck of the woods. Finding someone who flopped their Jeep after hitting black ice on the interstate, had the top replaced by insurance and who ultimately wanted the old, cracked one out of their yard cheap was nice. $250, some fiberglass repair materials and black paint and I'm set for fall and winter! It could still use a little fine tuning, but it looks damn good for now. A day's work saved $1k. Tough to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Pics or ban. And share the recipe too if you can! I wasn't there so I don't have any but it was covered by all the newspapers so I should have a link in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Baked a loaf of Rosemary Sourdough bread. My sourdough starter came from my Mother. She started it the year I was born, so it's almost 50 years old, and the tang and flavor is indescribable. Fresh Rosemary from a large pot near the front door, and a sea salt crust. I wish I could share it with all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless1 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Went to my "second" daughter's wedding. Actually, she is a friend of my oldest daughter but she always considered herself one of my daughters. One of the perks of my tenure as Mr Mom. Good times, old friends and I'm very happy for her!

CarlSeibert Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 ...cake.... Congratulations. I hope the cake got shot before it got eaten. Back in the day, when I shot food a lot, the staff always considered it good form if the stylist made deserts practically (so they could be eaten). If there was cake involved, the hungry sharks would already be schooling up as the film was coming out of the processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Drooled over these pictures a little. OK, a lot. Posty's old HF1s, "slightly improved" by an artisan of our mutual acquaintance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Sorry to hear that, Dusty. Kind of a crappy day for the cat. I'm a hearty believer in neutering and spaying. And he's being a real trooper about it. He hates being medicated, but I think that has more to do with the way I manhandle him to get him to open his mouth than anything else. Hope all goes well with your run today -- "Rooh! Rooh! Rooh!" (that's me cheering you on from the sidelines). Yesterday: got up relatively early for me, caffeinated, went to breakfast (Ba Le caramel lemongrass chili chicken -- yum!), drove up to Philadelphia, hung out at Eastern State Penitentiary (pics will be forthcoming) -- got some comments and one hug from a girl who loved my 3 Keyboard-Cat Moon T-shirt (I was practically a celebrity amongst the geek set, but no, did not get laid...yet) -- ate, went to Porcupine Tree/get rained on, drove home. Medicated cat twice amongst that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlSeibert Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Just got an email. I won one of those oscillating tools that does everything in the Woodcraft Pirate Chest Giveaway, which is one of those silly affairs that draw a crowd of geeks (yes, me and a hudred others) to a store in a strip mall to try a sheet metal key in a padlock. And of course buy something they didn't really need while there, which in my case was a $55 dust collector hood. So nobody's key worked for the oscillating gizmo, apparently. Makes my day. A little certified good luck does wonders. Yippie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetoole Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Just got back from a 5 mile run. I dunno what it is, but I find I love running at night. Bit different than the 5 hours or so I spent soldering last night at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absorbine_Sr Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Good luck. If you do win, we'll all expect a chili meal at CanJam. No luck. We lost. Though the judges didn't give us the nod, we had a large amount of the public come back for seconds and tell us ours was the best, so we felt pretty good. And the whole thing was for charity. People buy bowls for $5 and sample all the chilis. There were 14 cookers this year and it was a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
