shellylh Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Glad your home and that the breaks are non-surgical (which I hope means that they are minor). Still really sucks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Glad you're home Ken, I'm sure the pets were glad to see you . Allison and I ran a 5K about 500 yards off Lake Michigan today. It was a fucking blizzard out there. Basically ran through snow drifts and the "path" was completely covered over with 3-4 inches. Snow blowing straight into our faces the whole time. Miserable, but I think we're both glad to have done it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Glad you made it home Ken and that the injuries are no worse than they are. Take it easy as much as you can. All of them are going to require time to heal properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Enigma Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 The mid west is as good as it gets if you are looking for snow/rain that goes sideways, and sometimes up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Took the family to see the U-boat at the science museun. Pretty cool. Hanging back at the hotel relaxing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Currently listening to Donald Byrd's The Catwalk Audio Wave on my Capitole, thanks to Mr. Cat Coon. He even thinks that, with more tools, he can fix the optical receiver, so today has been a good day. Good news! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Enigma Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 So much for PEX water lines being less prone to freezing. Had the water line to our kitchen freeze. Awesome thing is it's between the slab and floor in this part of our house. Not sure how to get to it to thaw it. At least I can shut of the water to this area. Guess it doesn't like -10F at night.

Torpedo Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I can imagine, the Capitole must be a very good sounding player, thinking of it as died doesn't sound like a good plan. I wish it's helping your back to feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 The in-laws were supposed to leave today but their (direct) flight to Baltimore was canceled (I assume because of something due to weather). Fucking United decided to rebook them on a flight on *Wednesday* going through Chicago, WTF??? I don't mind them staying here longer but I do mind United dicking people around. At least get them on a fucking direct flight so they don't get stuck in Chicago and WTF is up with rebooking someone on a flight 4 days away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I can print with both abs and pla but I have not tried the abs. I am very impressed with the strength of the pla. Feels very solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is just less prone to breaking if there is a freeze due to ability to expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Enigma Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Was able to thaw it with a heat gun... Incidentally, we temporarily had radiant heat floors which was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least get them on a fucking direct flight so they don't get stuck in Chicago and WTF is up with rebooking someone on a flight 4 days away. Now, United outdoes themselves. After waiting in line for several hours at the airport to get rebooked on an earlier flight, my father-in-law thought he was able to get seats on a flight on Monday (he is a little hard of hearing and gets confused though). We get home and look on the computer to find out that my mother-in-law is booked for 2 flights on Wednesday and my father-in-law no longer has any reserved flights. My husband has been waiting on the phone for about 2 hours to try and talk to someone and can't get through to anyone. Fuckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
