postjack Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I found out that the reason why our dishwasher quit working earlier in the week was due to a mis-wiring in the wall that could have easily caused a fire. I was actually thanked for calling in a maintenance issue (my landlord is pretty good, in general, but he has certainly never thanked me for complaining before!). Everything will hopefully be sorted tomorrow, with new wiring and a new dishwasher. This would have been particularly bad, as Emily and I typically set the dishwasher to run at night, after we went to bed, so any fire would have been while we were asleep. Smoke detectors and fire-putter-outers or not, that would have been bad. Was reading the previous posts and catching up on this thread. Was kind of hoping you were about to blame your broken dishwasher on gay marriage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahame Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Can someone explain why the market analysts are held in such high regard, when in other fields ,exceeding [their] expectations would be a sign of poor analysis? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I took my family to hershey park today. Rode a bunch of roller coasters. A fun, exhausting day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Got my first ever pair of reading glasses. Whoa, it's all gone HD again. Fuck presbyopia. Edited July 18, 2015 by Hopstretch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I started with reading glasses back in college and then went to full-blown prescription glasses few years later, when it occurred to me that I should probably be able to see/read the signs across the street while driving. Recently, got fitted for daily contact lenses since I really hate having glasses while using my camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I had Karate Kid II glasses in second grade. I wore them for a few months. 20/20 or better since. I waste so much $$$ on vision insurance. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMoney Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) I had an awesome time at the Bay Area HF meet today listening to rigs and chatting with friends old and new. It was fun to meet a few more of you in person after conversing online. I played this one a little differently and brought a pair of HD 600s with me to test out all the rigs. Rather than listening to different headphones I basically stuck to only the HD 600s. They really do scale pretty remarkably to the rig. I posted my impressions over on the other site. Other than chatting with friends, highlights of the meet included the Eddie Current table and the most beautiful DIY amp I've ever seen made by our own Frank Cooter. I put a few pictures of it Edited July 19, 2015 by TMoney 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I wore glasses middle-school to last year (when I switched to contacts). You have no sympathy from me. Not downcast. Have realized it's just the start of a great new lifelong brain-training game, called: "Fuck, where did I leave my glasses?" 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Been playing that game for almost 15 years. I look at it as brain-training. We just returned from IU. We dropped Peter off at soccer camp on Wednesday and picked him up today. Seems to have gone better this year compared to last most likely because he is now more mature than me.

Hopstretch Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Good to hear Jim. Alec is doing a two-week Chelsea residential for 10 to 18 year-olds next month and, being 10, I'm thinking he's going to learn quite a lot on and off the field. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

en480c4 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Spent the weekend building a deck with my dad. It was a great way to spend a few days. And we're really excited to enjoy it the rest of the summer. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 ^^^ Awesome! Let's see some party pics in a week or so with grill, food, and beverages. Nice work! Looks strong, level, square, and ready for many years of happy outdoor enjoyment. Can't wait for the Jan/Feb pics with two feet of snow.

acidbasement Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Just dropped the kids off for a week with Eleanor's mother. They'll be going to soccer camp and I'll be full-on batching it, since Eleanor is working in Alberta this week. Longest time flying solo in ages. See you in the drunk thread.

Salt Peanuts Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 That looks great, Ian! I spent the morning putting on the first coat of solid stain on our picnic table. Now I'm sitting out in high 80s while waiting to put on the second coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
