Had one guy in Basic stupidly swing his weapon across the other shooters on the firing line. He was instantly jumped by a dozen range officers and Drill Sergeants and hauled behind the latrine, where they beat the crap out of him. The hospital wrote up his injuries as "fell down the steps", and we all swore to that.
I have a catalog and a url for all sorts of wireless and wired video equipment, including cameras hidden in things you would never guess. Some of it is vey high-end, and probably intended for spooks and professionals. But a lot of it is moderately priced. They have lots of IR-illuminated stuff, but no passive IR, at least not in the catalog.
Let me know if you're interested.
Cool loot, winmag!! That sure was nice of the guys!
Good Morning All - crisp this morning it is...
Brought a goodly amount of 'homework' but more pleasant surroundings here than in my cubicle.
Hair - good luck with the interviewee today.
g'nad - 'daylight in the swamp'. One day club show tomorrow, we'll see what bargains(?) are available.
OT - too brisk for gardening, sigh.
'Morning!
Yep, it's a bit too brisk for me! I think I'll repot some houseplants and pick out a few to take to TheNewOffice. Laundry is scheduled for today and I think I'll start patching the walls in the bedroom and get my shopping list for painting. Hope there's enough "Antique White" in the garage to do the ceiling.
Right now Miss Cat has me cat-trapped.
The grow light is set up....
Good morning all... I've been up and watching for this potential farm sitter lady to come. She said she'd come early, but we didn't name a time, I was curious to know what she considers 'early' ;~D. The horses are waiting for breakfast, I want to wait if possible for her to be here for that.
Had to put the pony's spare blanket on last night, she ripped one of her straps again. I've fixed it this morning while I had coffee. It's gonna be drizzley and wet today, not sure what's on our agenda.
'Morning! Hope the horsesitter works out. At least horses don't claw you in the face if you're late with breakfast.
OB: I've got a whole gallon of "Living Room Green" and "Bathroom Purple." I don't especially like the purple, but we'll see. I've got two partial cans of "Antique White" - both enamel semi gloss. I'm thinking about mixing the two and I'll have enough to do the ceiling.
Morning Hair, 'early' must vary with the individual, early for a Saturday may be different than early on a weekday. Still...
Grow lights are cool, I think we still have one. (someplace).
I thought enamel was for woodwork instead of walls and ceilings. but we mostly paper both. not much interior painting here, just some trim.
I use enamel for kitchens and bathrooms...places where you might have to scrub or with high humidity.
Nahhh..don't want to put purple back in the bathroom. Maybe I could use it for a trim, but I don't want the walls to be solid purple when I repaint.
Morning.... ugh, forgot to take the shelves out of the bookcase and bring them down last night, so guess I'd better do that soon. Guys are coming at one to haul furniture.
Morning!
I'm pulling nails out of the wall.
And I've got to do that, too, if I can, at the old place...
Now I've got these plastic anchors in the drywall. *Sigh*
The glass balcony doors are just filthy... have to scrub them at some point soon. It'll have to take a number, though, I've got a lot to do.
They don't go for the "frosted" look?
No, they ought to be clear but there are all these tiny little smears. It really looks bad when I've got the blinds open so I can get some light in.
*Shrug* close the blinds before you leave.
