I woke up today to two inches of snow - but good snow! It was on the grass and houses but the roads were perfect, it must not have gotten cold enough last night. Hopefully, that was our last snow. It makes a good memory, driving in the early morning sunshine, white-blue sky peeking through snowy tree branches. A very quiet morning.

However, tomorrow is spring and I want flowers.

Sorry Suzi! (You might console yourself with the thought that I considered posting that picture of Hillary's butt instead. :^) Speaking of which, I'm glad the asteroid missed us yesterday, but how did it manage to miss Hillary's behind?)

Your ramp sounds like what I had engineered in my head, but mine will probably be a little wider - I think that's what bothers Gilligan.

I'll let you know how much braunschweiger it takes to get him up the first time.

Steve, I just sent another 6 knives and snips to you. If luck holds out, it will take only 10 days to get there.

I also sent out a knife and snip to a retired Ranger who's a "civilian contractor" cook for a small special ops group deep inside a country that cannot be named. With luck, some day these heroes can receive their well-deserved acclaim in public.

Air New Zealand has LOTR airplanes.



There are a few more pictures at the link above.

Any other secrets of female psychology, please share! :)

You mean, like how to pass the Invisible Test? Or the Three Reasons women go to the bathroom in groups?

I could tell you everything.

But I won't. :-)

The Professor must've invented a coconut dry cleaner or something :)

I wouldn't be surprised. The Professor was so obviously gay.

There's a big argument on the linked site as to whether the pictures of the Air New Zealand planes are fake or not. They look real enough to me.

And Whyisa, I know exactly what you meant, thanks anyway. :^)

Okay ... I can deal with Orlando as the younger, trendier, cheeky-monkey Bond ...

... but, hot-cha-cha, there's a lot to be said for tested, traditional, and intense!

I'm kinda fond of Sean Connery. Of course, he improved with age...

Sigh. Did my work out. Taking the sibs for dinner, then we're going to rent a kid movie, then after the boys are in bed, my sister and I are going to watch "Demolition Man".

Oops, I missed this post.

Yes, I have been testing my stealth computer off and on all day. Was burning CDs for my buddy while my boss was right next door. Yikes!

I am developing good "sneaking" skills that will come in handy I'm sure.

Hope the ponies are having a good time in this lovely weather! So far, we have avoided the storms, I am hopeful my ride home will be in nice weather for a change.

It is so hard for me to choose between Pierce and Sean. They both bring their unique "talents" to the role!

Thank you for the "visual aids" ;)

I tried ordering another 12 knives. The status came back "temporarily out of stock"!!!!!!!! I've got 16 knives on hand, 12 promised to Steve. After that, I may have to start scrounging for another knife that meets our standards of price, quality, and performance.

I just got that sinking feeling in my stomach when I saw that. Maybe I'll just have to approach CRKT, which makes lots of good knives, and see if they want to deal. Or scour the internet for somebody else with good pricing. Or ?????

I rate this as my bummer-of-the-month. Sorry to dump on people, especially those of you with much more serious problems (which I'm praying for), but I figured you should be kept informed.

I've never been a Bond fan, but if they're looking to encourage younger Bond fans, Orlando would be GREAT!
