Dusty Chalk Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Took Bobby over to Linda's for a play date with the cat formerly known as Batou and is currently going with the working title of Diego (a Zorro reference). Bobby was a horrible guest, but understandably so, and at least he didn't rough up the little guy, and even Missy (3rd cat -- Bobby's ex-roommate, sort of) kept him in his place, so ... we're still working out the kinks, but it's not unrecoverable.

blessingx Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Had car window replaced, rescued neighbors cat, played with ElusiveDiscs website for an hour, went on three walks with daughter, hardly thought of work, and now waiting for chocolate chip cookies to cool.

aardvark baguette Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 played with ElusiveDiscs website for an hour, Did you carefully load up your cart before logging in, only to have to start from scratch later? I've done that so many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Drove up to TnTech where I went to school for a while for a goodo friend's wedding reception today. Got to hang out with some old friends who came up early, and the kids are having a great time chilling in a hotel room. Hotels with wifi + 2x 3DS + 2x Laptops = hotels are more fun than they were in my day? (<<< typed from my iPad with keyboard while laying on a bed... which has an ethernet jack next to it). Now, an hour or two from going to meet an old friend, her man-friend (husband? idk), and her kids for a cookout for lunch, then on to the wedding reception. Haven't seen some of these guys in 3-10 years... i'm stoked. Oh yeah... so it turns out at least 2 others ALMOST brought their bikes... but we weren't sure if anyone else was. **BRENT** OK, so the cookout was good, catching up with an old friend who wasn't at the other thing. I get to the sorta-casual outdoor wedding recreation/ceremony about 20 minutes before it started. I then have someone run up to me "You need to find the bridal party, they need you." I'm like... "uhmmmm... OK?" Another friend comes up "You need to find John and the wedding party, I think you're supposed to be in it." *WTF!?!?!?* I had no prior knowledge of this. I was wearing a button down, khaki cargo shorts and my "dress" (read: new) black VFF KSOs. Ten minutes til start, I get the instructions on where to go and what to do. I felt really bad up there. No one was in a tux (coulda brought mine had I known), but damn, was I casual. Crazy day, but as a groomsman gift, I got a special version of what we all got... various athletic focused nice socks. Injinji black toe socks for me. I haven't found them in my size in black the past year and a half I've been looking locally. Had a pretty good weekend. Since then, allergies have been kicking my ass, but THAT was good stuff. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Went to Whole Earth Provisions to try on shorts since mine are getting pretty raggedy. Tried on about 10 pairs, each of which made me look like an Oompa Loompa... went home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWoundsTime Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Heh, that's a fairly random connection. Did you figure this out during the meeting? I tried to get my car into the shop today with its packed up starter, but they are booked solid through tuesday. No car till then, I'm not going to any other shop this time.

Aura Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 For the majority of the night, packed for the move. Packing sucks but having beer helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the starter in an awkward place on your car? They're usually super easy to replace yourself as long as you can safely jack the car up (ramps or jack stands). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Yep, usually two bolts and an electrical wiring plug. Generally really easy to rebuild too. Edited June 2, 2012 by swt61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Replaced the faucet in the bathroom sink. It was a lot easier than I expected, but still annoying since the space was pretty darn tight. Edited June 2, 2012 by Salt Peanuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lads ... young Matt is somewhat mechanically challenged, not to mention, a trifle ungainly for the comfines of small, contorted places that automobile maintenance sometimes requires. He was wise to seek professional help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agile_one Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Brent, my wife, Becky, grew up in a hicksville non-town just 10 miles north of TN Tech (Rickman). Great country place with great folks. Some of her/our best friends are people she started 1st grade with. She went to Tech, too, back in the day. Small world, wot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Damn, Jacob! I was gonna get you that KitchenAid mixie thing for the nuptials. Guess it's back to the can opener. j/k, of course, and glad to know the ka is equal to the heavy duty dough mixing challenge. Love fresh bread, and glad you do it the old school way without the bread makers of recent time (nttiawwt). Throw on a slab of butter for me, and enjoy, brother.

agile_one Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Reks, I'm sure Dr Shelly could refine this math, but for a simple engineer, Time saved with KA mixer = Time used for (fill in the blank) Your blank may not = my blank, but that's what makes us all interesting, and worth appreciating. Oh, wait, I forgot about the whole time thing ... this seemed important a second ago, but now looks like drivel. What, Dom? Another hit? Sure, that will make it all make sense. Wait, I already said that .... Alice, white rabbit, Al, Mike, JP, dinny ... help me .... Jacob, you don't have that shovel in your hand, do you? ... ok, off to the "Are You Drunk" thread.
