Went to an orthopedist ... (upcoming images in spoiler tags for the squeemish) ... Right knee swelled up at the weekend limiting articulation - with no obvious prior cause / trauma. Joanne said you need to get someone to look at that. So, Before ( one of these Knee's is not like the others, one of these knee's is not the same ) ... Had something like this previously in the UK (20 years ago), "Free at the point of delivery" but lots of waiting between stages Here , same day digital X-Rays (no mechanical damage / issues), consult, + aspiration ... My That's a lot of fluid ... 140ml .. That's a decent restaurant wine glass ... Much better - off to be cultured - results back in 5 days or so , and possibly an MRI ..... Fun eh?

ooh, build pr0n .... looky nice ... So will you show us how unfeasiblly large your benchmarks are Q: how well will the audio (in + out) work in KF!

Nice Photo's CJ. Hope They were worth it, and everything works out the best for you. Speaking of nice photo's, more photo's of the response to the Larkspur fire from a better vantage point - up close + personal https://plus.google.com/photos/105835403043583640446/albums/5931865265381857633?authkey=CLDSl5HH0fHcqAE

Let me get this right, an Irish downtempo / ambient artist is called Mick Chillage? Does he have a Scottish counterpart Jock Chillax? Oh wait. it's a nom de bleep. Micheal Gainford doesn't quite have the same vibe. But I like his Style ("Chillage Idiots", "Michael Moog")

Cute overload Congrat!

Watched a CalFire OV-10 circle overhead and act as a FAC while a fire was contained on a local hillside. The accompanying tankers made a couple of runs, but the actual fire was out of sight, behind a ridge or two from where I was. Nice to have this kind of CAS when you need it.

+1 for the Zoo / Balboa Park Gaslamp Quarter esp. in the Evening Seeing Seals - The Marine Mammal kind on the beaches at La Jolla - The DEVGRU kind on the beaches near Hotel Del Coronado ( the bridge is impressive)) just being outside ...

Think I hit this after an upgrade... When it Barfs. check your settings and use the other option (the non currently selected option for image uploading / sharing / attaching)

How was the what looks like Bacon 'n' Tater Tots for sustenance during your epic day out? More tasty than the chi-water varietals ?

Happy Birthday!

Is it too late to suggest some duck fat fries for pairing?

Should we hire it for our Dev / QA Team then?

That's a negative. No available A-10's cleared hot in your sector at this time.
