"I really think I'd best limit my volcanological endeavors to the increased production of liberal-freak-a-zoid-irritating gasses."
Perhaps I'm better off on this side of the 'net...
Okay, I'm getting the "5,080 of 5,079" thing, here.
Lag is with us.
Isn't he one of the lesser Norse gods, or something? Or am I confusing them with a character from the comic strip B.C.?
Good night, IT.
Men!
"this side of the 'net"?
Does this lead back into that topography discussion, again? I remember coffee mug = donut.
Actually, I think we're all on the same "side" of the 'net -- the OUTside, where the users dwell.
Hey, now. I said "volcanological", not "volcanic."
Moot point, anyhow. My wife has reserved seating for all performances through 2099. But, I suppose you could buy now for the 2100 season. I promise I'll do my very best 'Yoda' for you.
LOL!
"Is not bad lightsaber for old Jedi, hmmm?"
Hi, fanfan! When you wrote that I was still on my home from work, with a stop to say hi to the goodwife who is an "elections inspector" today -- which means she's in charge of the polling place. Ten or so precincts, setting up the machines et al, and in 20 minutes shutting down, making sure the books and ballots are all in good order and accounted for (no crooked Seattle we-make-Chicago-look-like-pikers election shenanigans are going to take place on her watch!).
How're you? Things cooled off any?
Yup. We're running way over budget this month. 5-6k was to be end-of-month peak. Looks like we're headed to 9k or so this month. But never fear, the scouts are out for the next UT home.
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." Groucho Marx.
Seems reasonable, I always thought that whatever goes on inside the net is a dark mystery to me.
I used to think that what went on inside the fishnet was a dark mystery. Then I met my wife and got the chance to find out. [Hoooowwwwwllllll!!!]
I bet ol' Groucho beat me to that one, too.
I still remember the Groucho answering machine recording: "I'm getting ready for a night at the opera, so I can't come to the 'phone right now; or even wrong now, for that matter. Say, aren't you the one who got my son in trouble? What would it take for you to do the same for me?"
sorry I missed you, fanfan.
all,
walp... I decided to do the final lamination step like the Japanese do/did it: binding with high-test string and then hammering wedges in to force the curve (aside from clamping the belly to the riser - too many curves in a tight spot to use wedges)
I have done the top arm of the stave.
that took about 20 minutes of frantic work.
that's pushing things right to the [expletive]ing edge of Gorilla Glue's "working time", but it looks like I have a nice tight joint and a good curve.
my fingers have string-tears in them, and I have spots of glue all over my hands that only time or abrasives will remove.
gah.
I'm taking a breather before doing the lower arm.
howz tricks?
5000!
SWEET!
Doing dissertation research online and finding some real goodies.
I can imagine running across one of those... in a tank...
its going quitely. which is good... looking up info on nagant model 1895 pistols.
well...?
don't make me hold my breath for too long.
oh - just scared the pants off of one of the local hard-luck beggar 'barbs... dipwad comes to my door at 1040pm looking for a handout... got a shotgun poked at his belly.
looking for money, supposedly for gas.
I gave him the 2 gallons I had for my lawnmower, told him to go in peace, and told him to think real hard before asking me for another freebie and never, EVER, come to my door at that hour again.
care to place bets on whether he'll take the [expletive]ing hint... or act like a stray dog you've fed once?
time to do the lower arm... back in 20minutes plus a clean-up.
see 5098
Wow! Lots of work.
