*gulp*
It is powered by coffee, so it can’t go too far.
The usual. ;-)
Man... Killed a car. Gut it and hang it on the wall in your den.
Just swinging through on my vine and thought I'd drop a few cool links for everyone.
Y'ever wish you could just take a picture of something, and be able to search the text in it on your computer?
Wish granted, and THEN some:

Do you need/want to do image editing, but don't want to blot out half your hard drive with high-dollar software installs?
Wish granted:
http://www.aviary.com/
Y'ever wish you could just set a timer so you could relax and enjoy your time here on FR without having to watch your clock for whatever non-FR reason you have on the schedule?
Wish granted:

Some of these tools come from the pages of "The 4-hour Workweek", by Tim Ferriss. I'm only halfway through it, but already the guy's brutal steps for eliminating the 80% of junk that occupies my time without contributing to my effectiveness have made the purchase of the book worthwhile. go browse it on Amazon. If you haven't been to Amazon in awhile, you'll discover that their "Look Inside" feature has been GREATLY enhanced, and delivers FAR more content than before.
Glock! Get your sweet little butt over here and lead me out of this Dank Dark Dirty Pit you threw me into and then turned your back on me...
Hello, I will be your guide back to the “A” deck.
Currently we are on “D” section, labs.
As noted by the feral attack deer wandering the area, it may be a good idea to stick close to personnel in the area.
Solo adventuring here is not advisable.
(Might find the legendary werebunny. I swear I had nothing to do with that one.)
Kept the bumper.
;-)
Well, you see, it was an experiment with coffee and deer.
And it was all for the sake of science!
It’s just too bad that shot was taken with a camera instead of a .308
’ Face, you’ll have to remind me about the UT ping list and glock rocks when I am back on by computer. Data signal here is slow and it’s hard to update ping list from phone browser. Plus I will be busy next few days at the conference.
No word on laptop repair yet.
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
A 22 behind a one-eyed hunting dog would be my first choice as my neighbor is 250 feet north and our Mansion is 120 feet south. I gave my grandson my Remington in 243 and my Winchester 32 Win Special. Oh and also my 30.06 Remington semi-auto but rest assured I am not left defenseless...
Kept the BIG stuff fer yourself, then.
Hhmmm... Dust bunnies must have eaten the spiderbots posted for cleaning duty. Hang on while I have the Dwarfs dispatch some heavier armed cleaning units to your area. Please don't make any sudden movements while they are cleaning.
Droidika with mops?
“...Dank Dark Dirty Pit?...”
Undeaders: Is there something going on in the Lower Levels that would cause it to be dank, dirty and pit-iful?
Tubebender, we’ve always prided ourselves on the Castle environs, and this is coming as a shock. Are the walls and doors no longer shifting? Are the clean-up crews not tending to the leavings?
Who’s in charge of QA this week?
Probably just forgot to take down the Halloween decorating...
