I say we dust off and and nuke the site from orbit... it's the only way to be sure.
heh... that almost happened...
thanks fer the research...
Do you have a bunch of these things, or just the ones you took pictures of?
Anyhoo, it's not a tartan per se. The Irish clans traditionally wore solid colors. So it's a solid color - "saffron" - but has a subtle jacquard-like plaid weave to it.
I can't believe he bought a kilt.
Looks rather fetching in it, actually.
Well, when he gets the whole get-up together, we'll want to see a pic.
we got hammered here too... lotsa rain... HUGH lightning storm... had a 60' Black Oak on the edge of the yard get hit... blew the bark clean off'n it...
only problem is, it's gonna havetuh go... and it'll hit a powerline if'n it falls anywhere but a 100 degree it's leanin' away from...
wholebunches...
Gads... seemed actual treatment for it was rather a pain. Look out for wasps this summer.
Good heavenly days! Bet it was a loud stike!
We got some limbs down, nothing too bad.
Only three more weeks of using the basement laundromat. That will be so nice.
Here's an update...all I know at this point.
Steve got the paper with what just has to be the final "fixes" turned in to his advisor this morning.
He then went to Stillwater on the BOB to speak with the other two guys on his committee. Hope of all hope is that he gets signed off officially from these guys.
He also intended to meet with the formatting guy again, because he made some repairs to the formatting even after he turned it in on Friday.
Depending on what happens today...he might have a pretty easy day of it tomorrow...or, he might have to go *back* to Stillwater for the other committee member's signatures, if they're aren't ready to sign today.
Then Wednesday he has to go back for final instructions from the format guy and possibly the committee signatures if they still haven't signed off. We're really really hoping that Dr. JBY will have finished going over it and be ready to sign off on it on Wednesday, before Steve heads back for the meeting with the format guy. Still, that might not happen till Thursday and a nightmare situation would be Friday.
So every day has so many variables and we just have to wait and see how it works out. Steve could very well come home with the Stillwater committee member's sigs...that would make today pretty good!
As Forrest Gump says..."One less thang..."
I'll let you know as soon as I can when I find out anything.
$150 total. I could do that if I hadda, or might could talk them down.
Mebbe yer sibling's'll help out with it...
~ducking~
Hmmm... you know, mention that number to your sibs and sigh heavily and maybe they'll feel guilty. Are they still in town?
We're both insensitive clods who are going to burn in hell, you know that, don't you?
Oh you betcha.

Yep, had rain last night and this morning.
Fried my power supply but the hard drive is okay. So I'm hopeful that the motherboard and processor survived.
We're supposed to get more rain tonight.
The fennel is up!
Ooh ho ho ho. The penalty for my impudence is to re-run my study again to "see if it'll make a difference." The implication being that if it does make a difference I'll have to rewrite the report... from scratch. Phoey! I re-ran the data at the expense of other projects and whaddya know? It made no significant difference. The powers that be were *not* amused. But at least I can move forward with fixing grammatical errors. Heh.
