agile_one Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 What a find, Wayne. Great story, too. That cold, wet drive across the alley sounds like no fun at all.
Knuckledragger Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 It wasn't today strictly speaking, but I injured my wrist wrestling firewood. It hurts to type, drive (stick shift) most other tasks.
Grahame Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) as long as it was only one wrist Edit: urban dictionary lacks definition of "wrestling firewood" Edited January 14, 2015 by Grahame
Augsburger Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 ... I injured my wrist wrestling firewood. It hurts to type, drive (stick shift) most other tasks. Well as the nuns at my grammar school used to say, "a wrist injury is God's way of keeping you from doing naughty things at night". 2

Hopstretch Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Took the left wing mirror clean off the car. Tiny fucking English village roads 1 -- Huge fucking German SUV 0. Ja? 1
Grahame Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Took the left wing mirror clean off the car. I expect the replacement Precision German Engineering is reassuringly expensive, Nicht Wahr?
Salt Peanuts Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 Staying home sick again with what is looking increasingly like an actual flu (seeing a doctor today). Between this and my kids being sick, I've gone into work once this week.
skullguise Posted January 16, 2015 Report Posted January 16, 2015 Ouch, sorry to hear Haj....hard the stat that the current flu shot may be only 23% effective, so I think a lot of people may be hit hard this winter. Rest well, hope you (all) get better soon

Between this and my kids being sick, I've gone into work once this week. Most likely a strep throat, at least according to my doctor. Put me on antibiotics and feeling a better today. EDIT - Looks like my phone cut off half of what I actually typed. Edited January 17, 2015 by Salt Peanuts

jvlgato Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Horrible, sorry! Yeah, I got the shot in November and got the flu in December. Awful stuff. For us, just completed the first half of 48 straight hours of kid sleepovers. Just finished the girl one. The boys should arrive in an hour. Help me! Edited January 17, 2015 by jvlgato

Dreadhead Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 Took down all the Christmas decorations. A week later than planned but last weekend was lost to trying to buy a house. Photographer is coming on Tuesday to take pictures and first open house is in 8 days. I'm going to miss this house but the new one is going to be great for us I also took apart and fixed the dryer of our stacked washer/dryer after some jagbag from Sears told me that they didn't lubricate anything but just replace things. I'm pretty happy that I got it all fixed myself though I did drop some parts and have to use some of the old parts. In the end it works great. 1
Voltron Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 Good work Chris. We took down our Mayberry Xmas tree and other decorations today too. The essentially extraneous SF tree came down last weekend. 2
Augsburger Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 Well I read on the internet that I have until July 1 to take down our Christmas decorations before we are considered white trash.
MexicanDragon Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 Well I read on the internet that I have until July 1 to take down our Christmas decorations before we are considered white trash. At that point, you are celebrating "Christmas in July." Problem solved. **BRENT**
grawk Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 I put our lights on the porch 3 winters ago. But I haven't turned them on in 2 years.
roadtonowhere08 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) I installed French bistro style lights on our back deck when we moved in thinking we would have adults over at night for fondue or some shit every now and then. Then I remembered we had 5 small kids. We are tired and nobody comes over for that On the plus side, I am loving my new(ish) D800. Much better low light shots, and I learned how to back button focus in conjunction with the AF-C setting (while disabling the half press shutter focus). Why in the hell did I not learn to do do this before? What a difference it makes with kids. Oh, and I am salivating over that new 20mm 1.8 lens. That's hot shit, right there.

Dreadhead Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 Almost walked away from the house purchase but our Realtors stepped in and covered half the price of a new furnace though the damn sellers and their Realtor didn't budge an inch.
luvdunhill Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 It always amazed me when it came down to final negotiating stages how little money would cause this to happen...
Dreadhead Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 Yeah I know. I fully admit that it was a small % but we are very tired of the sellers tight-fisted bullshit.
