See, I'm really good at reading subtitles, so I have time to pay attention to the language.

For me, the language just becomes background noise, like any other sound effect. Odd of me, I suppose.

I think I'm going to re-read The Golden Age, by John C. Wright. I first read it sometime last year, and enjoyed it (and the other two books in the trilogy as well.)

Enjoy!

This movie keeps getting silier and sillier. I think they just drove off a cliff.

Morning!

Need to get some coffee and wait for another round of T-storms to come through.

Goooood morning! Saw Mom off to my brother's house yesterday evening. I think she had a nice visit. May have to go rescue her from my brother's house on Monday if the SIL starts getting difficult. *sweet smile*

But! I'm going down to visit the cutest niece and nephew ever in just a bit. :)

Waiting for the thunderstorms to come through. Then I'm going to see if I got useful data from last night's run. 'Supposed to rain on and off all weekend so I expect I'll get the ceiling fan up today.

More than The Shire?

That's right. What's your question? =]

Technically that answer is only partly right - it was worth more than the Shire - and everything in it.

Um...question...yeah...well, I haven't had coffee yet, but how about...what was the name of the hobbit lass Pippin eventually married?

hehehe....I find it hard to imagine a Hobbit stock market...or a hobbit trading futures.

Good Morning, Gypsygirl has had her long walk, been deheading the daylilies, the asiatic lilies took a pretty good hit in the windstorm, lost a number of them. But elsewhere the flower beds look pretty good.

OT - heading to the bullethole to check it out? Gardening doesn't seem too likely today.

Dunno....thought I'd make a run down to Stilwell to see if I've got data (instrument time is going to be scarce next week). Thought I'd get the ceiling fan up and do a little house cleaning.

Good morning!

The storm blew through here early this morning...so Steve got a good sleep before it hit.

Freezer update: After consuming defrosted meat, I feel fine after nearly 24 hours. A peculiar thing was noted...the tube where the icemaker water attaches has ice coming out of it...a first. I'm not sure whether this is good or bad. There is no ice accumulating in the bottom.

Nugget update: They're growing like crazy! The feed restriction yesterday seemed to be positive thing...they were to the point of doing nothing but eating and they could hardly walk they were so stuffed! Taking them off the feed made them much more active during the day. Also, these chicks, due to the decreased interaction with them, are much less tame. They run and squawk when I try to pick them up.

I'm planning on making a bigger tractor this weekend sometime.

Morning!

Maybe you should get one of those thermometers that record the temperature on paper charts.

It's raining now and is rather gloomy. I've got some houseplants outdoors to soak up some rain....just have to remember to bring them back in before the rabbits eat 'em.

Is there such a thing? Probably should at least get a simple freezer thermometer, anyway.

Yep, got my plant outside too! It's soaking up sun right now though...storms are over.

Yes....we used to use 'em for the lab refrigerators and freezers before we started recording them by computer.
