Happy Birthday Rita!

45 miles, outlasted the phone battery...

cheap phone photo... the lower ritz crackers came covered in salt. Other oddities for the week:

Target.com "undid" one of our gift cards without notifying us (just billed it to the CC instead). Merel caught it and had to call to get the gift card to go through. Then one set of items that showed up was wrong. When Merel checked online, the model numbers were wrong, and the representative on the fourth phone call suggested we'd just get back the wrong set again. (It being the fourth phone call because their system was down for the first three.) So we took the wrong items to the store to return, and didn't catch it until we got home that they kept $1 for themselves for each item as "other discounts". Then the mattress protector we bought on that trip just shredded on its first wash... so, maybe a break from Target for awhile.

Also, I managed to connect the positive terminal of the car battery to the metal vacuum line for the air conditioner with a metal socket wrench. The resulting circuit shot sparks wildly before melting both the steel wrench handle and the vacuum line. The resulting hole in the vacuum line managed to release all of the refrigerant in a loud hissing manner over a period of fifteen minutes. So, no air conditioning in the car now, but hey, it's winter.

Oh, and we assembled the crib to discover the front bottom piece had a large sticker facing out that declares "Inside Bottom", but Merel says she wants it that way, so we're declaring that a wash.

Have an awesome birthday Matto!

Successful day. Laundry is done and all my santas are put away. Think I'll read and maybe nap now.

Happy Birthday, Matthew!



see? a comma. no copy/paste!

Ah, my boss asked about my ingress name today. Turns out he was helping me stop the neighbors from controlling the portal.

"all power is on, we are good to go tonight"

rain in Lincoln. The power in town was out this afternoon when I went to get lunch so I was going to check with the resteraunt around 4:30 to make sure they have power.

current stage: cantaloupe

I need ingress names.

Trust me, I need them.

AO, I thought you were talking about playing over Christmas when you talked about frostbite. Hardcore! I played at-15F one morning... Then went and bought better gloves.

Ingress has made my walks with Dylan much more interesting and much longer.

That clock. Make it stop.

That's funny - it shows up on this computer, but didn't show up when I looked on my laptop this afternoon, must have pulled up a cached copy.

TES and I made level 5 when we captured the YMCA before tang soo do last night.

Was it lologarithm? That guy is awesome. Smurf or no.

Poor guy's game went to hell when his wife had a baby.

And the answer is Tucson. Frank is getting into trouble while I'm away, it appears.

Frankie's address is in the relho address book. It's been there since the day he got his room assignment.

google drive, brilliant. I'll fax you the address when I get it posted.

And for you ingress fans: Met the office neighbor today. He got a little upset the portal he was attempting to take down kept repairing itself, so he came over and introduced himself. Somehow he knew it was me... funny nonetheless.

One word of advice: do not use a county machine to ftp a file to a site that the state has blocked in their filters.

Just don't.

Tracy sent me a copy of the picture and whatever size she sent worked for the large picture I wanted and fit in my mailbox.

yes it does. also: post web2.0 utilities such as dropbox, google drive, and if you want to stay in the 90s, the always the trusty sftp.

Well there's your laugh to get you through Thursday. Original family photos are 10MB each, and there are four. Want full sized or "web friendly" size? And if full sized, does your email handle 40MB mails.
