Augsburger Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Just returned from taking Mary, my son and daughter to LAX. They will be gone for one week on a community service project working at a homeless teen shelter in Omaha. This trip should really give the participants something to ponder as they will be meeting and working with teens who have had very different experiences growing up and unfortunately much worse prospects for the future. Last year the group worked on a reservation in New Mexico helping the residents repair their meeting hall and other projects. It is a great thing to see a group of teenagers excited to spend a week of their summer vacation in service to others. I will be toasting them many times a safe journey and great experience. 1

shellylh Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Met up with a few other Houston HFers (well, some people I know from HF meets from ~5 years ago) for a mini-meet. It was fun. I tried the LCD-3 and it was pretty nice (much better than the LCD-2) but I still preferred the HD800s.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Yeezh dude. Be careful with that percocet with alcohol chaser.
Augsburger Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 ..... and no more advil until until 24 hours after your mega dose. You want to keep your kidneys intact, they are worth more than your burning thumb.

You want to keep your kidneys intact, they are worth more than your burning thumb. Isn't that what dialysis is for? Seriously Jacob, I thought I was bad in the kitchen.... I have cut or burned anything in weeks though.
Torpedo Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Jacob, just Take care and get that thumb healing quick.
Augsburger Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 I think the problem here is that Jacob is combining cooking with his part time Ninja training and forgets which mental state he is in.
skullguise Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 I think he's doing the suffering artist thing....his food tastes best if he suffers while cooking it. But heal well, Jacob!
Aimless1 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Good day with the grand children yesterday. Daughter came to pick them up and both talked briefly and gave me a hug. First time I had seen any of them since March if memory serves. 1
MexicanDragon Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 ^ Good to hear! I'm reminded of the great Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" Baby steps. **BRENT**
n_maher Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Nice Dan, how packed was it along the way? Hopefully you stopped a few times. Me: finished mowing the yard in brutal heat. Took a 25 mile bike ride later in the day in worse conditions. My Garmin said the average temp was over 90. Thank god for the new AC.
grawk Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 I left before 7am, so it wasn't crowded at all. I stopped long enough to take pictures, but didn't do any side trips. It was a good morning trip. I may expore a bit more next weekend.
en480c4 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Posted June 24, 2013 Day 4 of the living room renovation. Slower progress than hoped, but things are going well. The floor was 7" out of level in 16'. You read that right... 7"! The joys of living in the loft of a 100+ year barn. But it's one of the last things I need to do before the baby comes. My father has, as always, been amazing to work with. Can't wait for things to wrap up.
n_maher Posted June 24, 2013 Report Posted June 24, 2013 Woof! I've designed roofs with less pitch! Good thing it wasn't any more or you might have ended up with 2 steps. 1
jvlgato Posted June 24, 2013 Report Posted June 24, 2013 I've read about this being one of the casualties of the profession. Tough life ...
