June 22, 201313 yr Just returned from taking Mary, my son and daughter to LAX. They will be gone for one week on a community service project working at a homeless teen shelter in Omaha. This trip should really give the participants something to ponder as they will be meeting and working with teens who have had very different experiences growing up and unfortunately much worse prospects for the future. Last year the group worked on a reservation in New Mexico helping the residents repair their meeting hall and other projects. It is a great thing to see a group of teenagers excited to spend a week of their summer vacation in service to others. I will be toasting them many times a safe journey and great experience.
June 22, 201313 yr watched a really slow army convoy go through downtown seattle with the ginger avenger
June 23, 201313 yr Met up with a few other Houston HFers (well, some people I know from HF meets from ~5 years ago) for a mini-meet. It was fun. I tried the LCD-3 and it was pretty nice (much better than the LCD-2) but I still preferred the HD800s.
June 23, 201313 yr ..... and no more advil until until 24 hours after your mega dose. You want to keep your kidneys intact, they are worth more than your burning thumb.
June 23, 201313 yr ..... and no more advil until until 24 hours after your mega dose. You want to keep your kidneys intact, they are worth more than your burning thumb. Isn't that what dialysis is for? Seriously Jacob, I thought I was bad in the kitchen.... I have cut or burned anything in weeks though.
June 23, 201313 yr I think the problem here is that Jacob is combining cooking with his part time Ninja training and forgets which mental state he is in.
June 23, 201313 yr I think he's doing the suffering artist thing....his food tastes best if he suffers while cooking it. But heal well, Jacob!
June 23, 201313 yr Good day with the grand children yesterday. Daughter came to pick them up and both talked briefly and gave me a hug. First time I had seen any of them since March if memory serves.
June 23, 201313 yr ^ Good to hear! I'm reminded of the great Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" Baby steps. **BRENT**
June 23, 201313 yr Nice Dan, how packed was it along the way? Hopefully you stopped a few times. Me: finished mowing the yard in brutal heat. Took a 25 mile bike ride later in the day in worse conditions. My Garmin said the average temp was over 90. Thank god for the new AC.
June 23, 201313 yr I left before 7am, so it wasn't crowded at all. I stopped long enough to take pictures, but didn't do any side trips. It was a good morning trip. I may expore a bit more next weekend.
June 24, 201313 yr Day 4 of the living room renovation. Slower progress than hoped, but things are going well. The floor was 7" out of level in 16'. You read that right... 7"! The joys of living in the loft of a 100+ year barn. But it's one of the last things I need to do before the baby comes. My father has, as always, been amazing to work with. Can't wait for things to wrap up.
June 24, 201313 yr Woof! I've designed roofs with less pitch! Good thing it wasn't any more or you might have ended up with 2 steps.
June 24, 201313 yr I've read about this being one of the casualties of the profession. Tough life ...
