Back to work. I don't get bereavement leave for aunts, so I had to smoke 3 days of vacation for the trip to VA. It was worth it, but it would've been nice to get the 3 free days. know what I'm sayin'?
Holy god, my life is barren. I spend every day just vegging - reading, watching the tube, surfin' SG. I can barely...

Went to Lake Hartwell with my brother and nephew today. We fished for several hours, then had lunch, then fished a few hours more. I caught 4 small catfish and a small hybrid bass. Nothing of note, but it was enjoyable.
Then we went by boat to visit some friends of my brother's girlfriend. On the way, we were stopped by the law because the...

My part's in already! My part's in already!
No, not *that* part. And not *that* in, either. perv.
My diodes are up at the cycle shop. They're open tomorrow. I may get to ride this weekend! I say *may* because the rectifier may still be bad, which would blow totally.
Oh, and magnolias are blooming! Mine isn't, but the buds are ripe to bursting. It's...

he is a newbie and is in strange waters, a foreign culture even. Once he's been around a while and become familiar with the site, if he doesn't realize that "hey, here's a bunch of really cool people to interact with" then, yeah, it's off putting. But it's mostly his loss.
i totally agree. i actually tend to feel a great affection for the newbies. i see them making all the same mistakes i did when i joined the site and mostly i just want to grab them and hug them.
but there are always exceptions.
rockin' the hair!

dude- you change your screen name at least once a week.
Karma's a friggin' bitch, huh? When I was in VA, my cousins were telling me to get a Harley instead of my "rice burner". I told them I wanted to ride it, not repair it. 2 days later, my bike breaks.
I replaced the battery, but there's a problem with the charging system. It looks like the rectifier diodes, so I ordered a new set...

stuzzy:
harleys are too expensive.
stuzzy:
how does that make sense?
Well, I got a new battery for the bike today. $90! Yes, $90! 
And I still have to stick it on a charger for 10 hours. So, looks like I'll be getting my bike back tomorrow. Of course, the fun's just starting. I still gotta figure out why it died in the first place. It could have just been a crappy battery that was ready...

Hrmm. I'm back from Virginia. Left Tuesday morning around 9 and got there around 6. The motel I booked was a friggin' pit, so I called like 30 places, but they were all full. 
We got cleaned up and changed clothes and went to the funeral home. There were a lot of folks there. People who said, "oh my god! matthew hasn't changed a bit!"...

Okay, no fair cheating! It's not the next day unitl after midnight My time!!! Are you trying to get me in trouble already???
Shit like the following problem I discovered is why I get paid very well:
Lines 2822ff of FAPGLBTM.C are below. The call to VMMInsOrdElem effectively creates a copy of pBitmap and puts it into the formset's bitmap list. That copy is what gets passed into the driver. Any changes I make to it (and specifically, setting prtInfo.oth.data) will not affect the cached object, only the...

K. We're actually gonna head up Tuesday morning. Save a night of lodging and a night of pet boarding. And a day of vacation.
I still had to break my date for Tuesday, tho'
Looks like next Thursday will be the next window. *sigh*
Not much else happenin'. I left my good shirt with the French cuffs at Jane's. eit. I'm gonna try stopping by...

If you were in VA today, you could've made an attempt to see Bush give a pro-biodiesel speech
My aunt died last night. Brain cancer. Services will be Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll be driving my mom up to Virginia Monday morning. I'll probably be seeing a lot of people I haven't seen - or even talked to (hell, even thought about) - for years. Kind of fucked up that we only get together when there's a death.
I'm gonna haul my laptop up...

Hang out in the waiting area of your local medical facility...strike up a conversation with random attractive women about the fact that you've lost 2 aunts to brain cancer and that you're scared to get checked out yourself. Score sympathy sex....get checked out.
geckogirl:
have a safe trip! take care of your mom and yourself. we'll see you when you get back.
- Lewis Black is one funny motherfucker! I just watched him on Comedy Central and had to go order his "Rules of Enragement" CD.
- Don't get me wrong; I love my new bike like whoa! But I think the Kawasaki Vulcan 500 (my old bike) may be nearly perfect. Six speed, awesome acceleration from a 500cc engine, comfortable cruising at 75-80, big cruiser looks...

You know market forces are a terrible way to regulate anything. Just simply because you only know not to buy into something after it's too late. Thalidomide for example - once we had all these children with deformed limbs we realized that this product was not fit for public use. Not to mention the affected group might be completely disconnected from the people buying the product. You can buy cheap electricity from a different state with no environmental regulations and you would never know that the people in the area of the plant are getting sick unless someone launches an expansive PR campaign.

My mentioning of iceberg lettuce was very intentional. I prefer fresh spinach, myself, but yeah, if you're going to kill the negative calorie aspect of iceberg, you might as well throw some nutrients in there.
Hang in there.
