Inventoried 20 more books with my handy-dandy Bluetooth scanner.
Finished installation of electric fans on the Faithful Steed.
Tested fans; fans failed to cool as well as old mechanical fan. There goes $350 & eight hours of labor. (On paper, 4600 CFM is nothing to sneeze at; in practice it's almost insignificant.)
Made experimental spaghetti sauce. Slightly too much... Read More
Sorry I didn't say anything to you when I left work friday. I was headed over to the hospital. I'm getting better thanks to my $80 bottle of pills (7) that they perscribed me, and most likely will bill me a fortune for the office visit.
On a slightly related note, one of my friends was hosipitalized in Japan while he was there on vacation. 3 days stay, meds, and emergency room visit for $150. I seem to think our costs here are a little high...
Friday--I got out of work late. 8:30 or so. A few minutes after I walked in the door, I was volunteered to be a taxi. I was unhappy. I returned a call. I was happy. I called the middle man of our trek & left a message. I took a shower. I drank a couple solutions of Vitamin... Read More
Tonight's culinary masterpiece came from SYH's own twisted bachelor mind: beefy baked beans (with extra onions ). I'm a big fan of meals I can make with just a spatula, a can opener, and a cast iron skillet.
Take one pound ground beef. I like 80/20. My friends like 90/10. For this dish, anything higher grade than 80/20 is wasted.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,

Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
It's the country for me.
You're so near to Russia,
So far from Japan.
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

Tonight I am spending listening to Abbot & Costello (and The Man of a Thousand Voices, Mel Blanc) and "familiarizing" myself with my Swedish typewriter. It's a Facit 1820. It's super spiffy.
Speaking of typewriters, my coworkers have officially dubbed me "odd" because I'm using a 1971 Smith-Corona Auto 12 for my timesheets & system inspection sheets. Pfft. My handwriting sucks. I know that. My... Read More
Its kinda funny, the past 2 nights I ate at this joint that serves Moraccan dishes. Reminds of Tangier, only with Macs, crappy music, crappy clientelle, and no young boy whores.
Great Food tho

He seems to think he can make improvements on the hellhound.
Yeah its going to be a weird week, I can feel it. At least its comfortable in here. I have the air off and my thermostat says 99.
