Salt Peanuts Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Finished prepping the raised beds for planting. I'm tired as hell but I'd forgotten how much I enjoy gardening (but not yard work).
mypasswordis Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Walked 3 miles, jogged 5 miles, walked 3 miles.
mrarroyo Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 so it stopped looking like a Honda? No, it actually looks more like a Honda now!
aardvark baguette Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Flipped back and forth between watching utorrent and laughing, and playing a tower defense game. Listened to my itouch as I'm overtaxing the drobo enough as it is.
swt61 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Walked 3 miles, jogged 5 miles, walked 3 miles. Is your car broken down?
Craig Sawyers Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Yesterday 9 miles, rest today. Plan on 20 miles tomorrow - so crunch time on getting my ancient body half way fit for the London. Not looking forward, the first 20 is always a bitch. It gets easier afterwards. Apart from that listening to music, cleaning CD's, making stands for the ESL57s...not enough time.
Knuckledragger Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Spent the last two hours raking the leaves from last season that snow covered up before I got to them. Now time to go finish up setting up the raised beds. I have to do about two acres of that. I shoveled snow in the driveway. Damn, dude. --- I slept terribly, got up too early, packed up the car, caught a ferry boat, drove across the state, got home, felt like death warmed over under a McDonald's heat lamp, took a two hour now, just woke up and am now getting re-acquainted with my music system. I missed my Quads. Later tonight will be wah wah guitar, but right now it can has be food time please.
cetoole Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Slept in late, hung out with a friend of my uncle, listened to his vinyl rig which consisted of a Linn Sondek with Benz cart, cant recall the arm, Conrad Johnson phono stage, Adcom GFA555ii amp to some modded monitors, spinning a bunch of punk and post punk albums. It didn't suck. Then cookout.
mypasswordis Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Is your car broken down? It has been for over 2 months. But it wasn't that, I just wanted to get some exercise in on a nice day. Colin, that sounds like a pretty kickass rig, are you looking into a vinyl setup now? Practiced basic strikes, suri-ashi and okuri-ashi, trying to maintain proper chudan. Needs more practice...
en480c4 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Bailed on the GF's family Easter brunch for some spring skiing @ Sunday River. 60 degrees plus, lots of snow and not a cloud in the sky. Posted from the chairlift on my iPhone using Tapatalk
Knuckledragger Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Barely slept at all. Again. I [TMI]'d but I didn't [TMI]. Drove my Subaru for the first time in two weeks. After driving the Golf TDI on the Vineyard, it's like learning how to drive all over again. The Golf's shifter is precise, and the clutch is (reasonably) forgiving. By comparison, the Subie's clutch is a harsh mistress with all the forgiveness of a Japanese dominatrix. OTOH, the 2.5L gas burner is downright peppy compared to the glacial Golf. It's nice to have my car back in driving condition. Now I just to do something about the body work. Right now is lunch time. I think this afternoon I am going to take a nice walk and smoke a cigar + take some pix.

Posted from the chairlift on my iPhone using Tapatalk Nice. And it was just yesterday that Nate said you were so whipped.
Hopstretch Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Saw the Mrs. off on a two-week business trip. Took the kids to an Easter lunch. Got puked on by my daughter. Came home somewhat hurriedly. Let's hope it was the quiche rather than a virus.
spritzer Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Worked and then went to Easter dinner at the family summerhouse. It was fun thrashing the car a bit on the bendy road to and from there. Didn't dare go any faster then 160km/h as there was real danger of ice patches on the road (about -4
Salt Peanuts Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 Drove out into Nashua to look for a dresser for the nursery only to find stores were closed because of Easter.
Sherwood Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 I passed the foreign service oral exam and, having passed, allowed myself the guilty pleasure of head-case reading and posting again after a bit of a hiatus. Hello friends!
Dreadhead Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 Congrats Sherwood. Me: I shopped around for new tires for the Subaru after being informed that the ones on the car are in need of replacement. I have not yet managed to find a significantly better price than what the dealer quoted. I also arranged to go to Meineke to get my rear brake pads replaced and the rotors machined for less than half what the dealer quoted.

Knuckledragger Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 Well, shit. Just gave my iPod its last rites. This has been a lousy year for me and Apple products. \
manaox2 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 Welcome back Sherwood, had been wondering who you were stalking nowadays. Well, shit. Just gave my iPod its last rites. This has been a lousy year for me and Apple products. \ I've heard apple products go bad more quickly around other bad apple products. Something about electron pheromones or some such. Sorry you have had such ridiculously shitty luck.
Salt Peanuts Posted April 5, 2010 Report Posted April 5, 2010 Just shipped back my fake Crumpler bag and a camera. I had forgotten how expensive shipping is now-a-days, but it's good to have the bag gone.
