September 30, 201114 yr Got diagnosed with Lyme disease...again. Nothing serious and glad it explains the joint pain and flu feeling, but jesus, enough already. Fucking ticks. Damn, that really sucks. Hope you caught it early. I hate taking antibiotics.
September 30, 201114 yr Thanks, Steve. Nothing a little trip out west won't cure. Thanks, Steve. Nothing a little trip out west won't cure. You can say that twice! Oh wait...
September 30, 201114 yr Heh, the wifi on this bus sucks. So do the ticks apparently. Never knew NY was such haven for them.
September 30, 201114 yr I never realized lyme's was sexually transmitted... Isn't that what buggery means?
October 1, 201114 yr Isn't that what buggery means? Like you don't know perfectly well what buggery means.
October 1, 201114 yr Tube weather indeed. Grant Green on the stereo while I research what it would take to have a beekeeping setup ready for next spring. Pure camellia honey, most of which will be converted to strong light belgian ale and mead. I'm swarmed with bees anyway, time to harness that shit.
October 1, 201114 yr Congrats on the new digs, Jacob! I'm packing up to head out for Colorado tomorrow morning. With any weather luck, I should be reporting back from 14,000 feet by Tuesday.
October 1, 201114 yr Pffft! That's what we start our grade schoolers out on in my 'hood. When your festicals drop...
October 2, 201114 yr Congrats on the new digs, Jacob! I'm packing up to head out for Colorado tomorrow morning. With any weather luck, I should be reporting back from 14,000 feet by Tuesday. Pics or it didn't happen.................. Good luck Peter and have fun.
October 2, 201114 yr Pffft! That's what we start our grade schoolers out on in my 'hood. When your festicals drop... What is it with you Alaskans and your obsession with size?
October 2, 201114 yr Packed some of the bags and did the last-minute shopping trip before our vacation tomorrow. I still have to pack my bag and I'm not looking forward to it.
October 2, 201114 yr What is it with you Alaskans and your obsession with size? Really, we just do it to drive Texans crazy!
October 2, 201114 yr Speaking of Steve, and Size. This is the perfect opportunity to talk about my recent encounter with the Cerne Abbas Giant The NSFW(ish) spoiler shows him illuminated on the hillside as the sun sets. Those are sheep, for scale, if you click. Not everything in England is quaint EDIT: The bing birds eye view at the co-ordinates from the wikipedia link is surprisingly clear if you zoom in.

October 2, 201114 yr Really, we just do it to drive Texans crazy! Having plenty of family in Texas...that sounds perfectly valid to me!
October 2, 201114 yr Woke up in SF for the first time in a long time even though the remodeling was not completely done. Had no hot water or shower or bathroom door but we were trying to make it work for the weekend. Plumber came out to finish the work on the new boiler and finished the installation only to find that the gas company had capped the gas line when it out in a new "smart meter" during construction. Still no hot water. Went to see a couple hours of music at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival and tried to let go of my anger at the contractor and PG&E. Then I went to my buddy's house to take a shower and shave so I could go to my 30th high school reunion. It was more fun than anticipated and I truly enjoyed seeing a bunch of folks.
October 2, 201114 yr Safe journey Peter, it took me all two weeks of my Holiday in the UK to rack up a similar figure, even with the aid of
October 2, 201114 yr Al I understand too well your anger. Even I've been responsible for that kind of anger (due to unforeseen problems). Today I tend to be as upfront as possible about things that can unexpectedly occur. I've actually lost a few jobs from that type of honesty, but I think it's saved a lot of bad feelings. Even great contractors run into things that they didn't anticipate. On the other hand, there are plenty of bad contractors who continually fuck things up. I hope your problems lie more with the former than latter. Glad you had a good time at your 30th reunion though! Didn't get back to Alaska for mine.
