shellylh Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Got diagnosed with Lyme disease...again. Nothing serious and glad it explains the joint pain and flu feeling, but jesus, enough already. Fucking ticks. Damn, that really sucks. Hope you caught it early. I hate taking antibiotics.

The Monkey Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Heh, the wifi on this bus sucks.
swt61 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Heh, the wifi on this bus sucks. So do the ticks apparently. Never knew NY was such haven for them.
grawk Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Fucking ticks. I never realized lyme's was sexually transmitted...
cetoole Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 I never realized lyme's was sexually transmitted... Isn't that what buggery means?
manaox2 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Sorry to hear Dinny. Though, just wait until the NY zombie apocalypse.
swt61 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Isn't that what buggery means? Like you don't know perfectly well what buggery means.
Augsburger Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Get well soon Dinny. I was going to post a joke but thought better of it.
jvlgato Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Sorry, Dinny! Hope you feel better soon!
NightWoundsTime Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Tube weather indeed. Grant Green on the stereo while I research what it would take to have a beekeeping setup ready for next spring. Pure camellia honey, most of which will be converted to strong light belgian ale and mead. I'm swarmed with bees anyway, time to harness that shit.
Iron_Dreamer Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Congrats on the new digs, Jacob! I'm packing up to head out for Colorado tomorrow morning. With any weather luck, I should be reporting back from 14,000 feet by Tuesday.
swt61 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Pffft! That's what we start our grade schoolers out on in my 'hood. When your festicals drop...

Iron_Dreamer Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Pffft! That's what we start our grade schoolers out on in my 'hood. When your festicals drop... What is it with you Alaskans and your obsession with size?
Salt Peanuts Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Packed some of the bags and did the last-minute shopping trip before our vacation tomorrow. I still have to pack my bag and I'm not looking forward to it.
swt61 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 What is it with you Alaskans and your obsession with size? Really, we just do it to drive Texans crazy!
Grahame Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Speaking of Steve, and Size. This is the perfect opportunity to talk about my recent encounter with the Cerne Abbas Giant The NSFW(ish) spoiler shows him illuminated on the hillside as the sun sets. Those are sheep, for scale, if you click. Not everything in England is quaint EDIT: The bing birds eye view at the co-ordinates from the wikipedia link is surprisingly clear if you zoom in.

Iron_Dreamer Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Really, we just do it to drive Texans crazy! Having plenty of family in Texas...that sounds perfectly valid to me!
Voltron Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Woke up in SF for the first time in a long time even though the remodeling was not completely done. Had no hot water or shower or bathroom door but we were trying to make it work for the weekend. Plumber came out to finish the work on the new boiler and finished the installation only to find that the gas company had capped the gas line when it out in a new "smart meter" during construction. Still no hot water. Went to see a couple hours of music at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival and tried to let go of my anger at the contractor and PG&E. Then I went to my buddy's house to take a shower and shave so I could go to my 30th high school reunion. It was more fun than anticipated and I truly enjoyed seeing a bunch of folks.
Iron_Dreamer Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Heading out the door, over 1100 miles of tarmac to chew up today.
Grahame Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Safe journey Peter, it took me all two weeks of my Holiday in the UK to rack up a similar figure, even with the aid of
swt61 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Al I understand too well your anger. Even I've been responsible for that kind of anger (due to unforeseen problems). Today I tend to be as upfront as possible about things that can unexpectedly occur. I've actually lost a few jobs from that type of honesty, but I think it's saved a lot of bad feelings. Even great contractors run into things that they didn't anticipate. On the other hand, there are plenty of bad contractors who continually fuck things up. I hope your problems lie more with the former than latter. Glad you had a good time at your 30th reunion though! Didn't get back to Alaska for mine.
