Dusty Chalk Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 You don't read slow forum, do you?
aardvark baguette Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Fuses? You mean, as in, instead of breakers? Yup, in one room of the basement. There is still a breaker box for the rest of the house. That one room needs to be either cut off or completely re-done.
Aimless1 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I know it's been a good day grouse hunting when... 1. I HAVE to use 4-wheel drive to get to where I want to hunt 2. Water goes over the top of my boots while getting to the cover 3. The dog is working well without bells, beeper collars or use of the whistle Little bit of all those things today. Cover wasn't great, but Quest (my Gordon Setter) pointed a bird which flew out the opposite side of the dead fall. Pretty red phase grouse. Saw a grey phase bird flush wild at more than 100 yards while crossing the stream where the beaver dam used to be (yep, that's where water crested my boot top). Quest worked the cover to perfection, simply beautiful to watch. Three birds, one pointed and no shots possible. Much better than simply driving and looking for cover. One tired dog and worn hunter thinking about the day that was and dreaming about tomorrow.
Hopstretch Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Took the kids for H1N1 jabs. Hope it was the right thing to do. Really hard to know, with all the public health back-and-forth. Shots in the dark?
Sherwood Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 People who don't trust vaccinations = people who don't trust oversampling DACs. We both know which side of that line you fall on, Stretch.
morphsci Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Unlike users on head-fi, not all vaccinations are created equal.
CarlSeibert Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Took the kids for H1N1 jabs. Hope it was the right thing to do. Really hard to know, with all the public health back-and-forth. Shots in the dark? Called my doctor's office to find out about swine flu (none of this "H1N1" stuff since we found out the pork industry's flacks were pushing the media to use it. All flu is "H1 something". It's swine flu, dammit. Oh sorry. Off my meds. Where was I?) Oh yeah. they'll know if they have any vax for non- kids, oh, along about the end of flu season. What a system. Two of my friends have swine flu now. It truly sucks.
grawk Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 it's not that bad. If you're not a kid, why are you worried about it? It's just the flu. 84 kids have died so far, which given the number infected isnt' that bad either. We've had it all week, and it's the mildest flu I can remember having.
cetoole Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I dunno, I am pretty happy with my windows PC and feel no need for a vax.
guzziguy Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Vax is OK as long as it's running a "recent" BSD release.
Grahame Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 What, no VMS Love? OpenVMS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
grawk Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I used to love VMS. I did some crazy things in DCL and vax basic.
guzziguy Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 You know what they say about VMS, "BLISS is ignorance".
screaming oranges Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I saved some tits! breast cancer marathon run (btw, I suck at running)
Dreadhead Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 My wife and I rode 100km in the rolling hills of Shenandoah VA. Hell yeah. That was fucking hard but totally worth it!
tyrion Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 I saved some tits! breast cancer marathon run (btw, I suck at running) Congrats. I had no idea you were running a marathon. My wife and I rode 100km in the rolling hills of Shenandoah VA. Hell yeah. That was fucking hard but totally worth it! Congrats. I've done a couple of metric centuries and they are hard as hell. Never did a full century. I can only imagine how difficult it is.
screaming oranges Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 It wasn't really a marathon. I don't think 3 miles qualifies for that. But doing it twice to catch up to the slowpokes in your workplace is kinda fun...
CarlSeibert Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Congrats. I've done a couple of metric centuries and they are hard as hell. Never did a full century. I can only imagine how difficult it is. I've ridden in those hills. That ain't my house to the Lake Worth pier and back. They have real hills up there. Good going Chris.
CarlSeibert Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 it's not that bad. If you're not a kid, why are you worried about it? It's just the flu. 84 kids have died so far, which given the number infected isnt' that bad either. We've had it all week, and it's the mildest flu I can remember having. Count your blessings. For one of my friends, it's a normal but kinda bad flu. The other is one seriously hurting puppy.
Aimless1 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Strange night. Went to a funeral visitation for one of wife's uncles. One of his sisters died in the parking lot before she got into the funeral home. They pulled a hearse around, loaded her up and drove to the back of the home. Apparently she has prepaid funeral arrangements with the same home. What were the odds of that happening? Two surviving siblings ... my mother-in-law and one of her brothers. As you might imagine they were both pretty stunned.
