What's under your lip/in your nose right now?

[W Axl Rose]

Just cut up about 5lbs of deer meat to dehydrate tomorrow. Also going to Kmart and going to do laundry on my day off. Woohoo! Living on the edge.

It would have been my dad's 70th birthday today. He died in June of 08. I miss him so much.

I came to the realization that i've been being a sissy about the cold so I got out on the road bike tonight and did a few miles.It was alot better than anticipated ( to be fair, i had on a union suit,thermal top,tshirt,hoodie and thermal jogging pants) and i fully expect to be completely demolished in the morning.as of right now, i came inside,hit a bit of crown and it warmed me right up so i feel ok.There's some pudginess coming on from all the bad holiday food and being inside so i guess i gotta kick my own .... for the next few months (can't one of you guys be a virtual personal trainer? it would be so much easier if i had someone yelling degrading comments about my physique on a daily basis )

A good buddy sent a gift that showed up today. he was in a band called the satyrs-i recorded their first demo and they went on to get a record deal and tour and play tons of shows etc...
anyway, i never heard the full length lp they put out so he sent me a copy. it's amazing - really laid back, sort of western inspired post rock.I'm listening to it now and remembering how good they were live.It sort of makes you long for days passed and friends that have since moved on...
There's a few of their songs up on one of my soundclicks here if you guys want to hear the early stuff:

Other than that, things have been a bit nuts around here the last few days, We had some friends show up and stay till 1 am last night and i had a friend over all day today helping me get some work projects out of the way. The buddy i was looking for e-cigs for came by and i gave him one of our old 510 kits and a ton of juice to play with.He had some heart issues and quit smoking a while back and had been using convenience store e-cigs. i showed him how to load up and refill the 510 and put in some of freedomsmoke usa's thin mint and it just blew his mind it was a great thing to see the look on his face with the first hit.

The next few days are supposed to warm up and i need to get some water seal down on the subfloor of my shop as well as wrap up some random projects for different customers so i can build myself a new amp for christmas

Good morning. Thanks for all the well wishes.

I had a terrible day yesterday. My wife wanted me to finish off an attic area for storage so I went yesterday and got the stuff to do the wiring and put in three lights and a switch. I needed to pull power from a switch that is in the bathroom upstairs that is beside the attic space. The builder put a three inch vent pipe inside a wall with the pipe touching both sides of the sheetrock. I had to cut a hole in the closet wall to get the wire past the pipe. Of course this was after trying to drill thru and not knowing the pipe was in there. I had to patch a hole I drilled in the vent pipe. Then when I was almost finished with the lighting, I tripped not once but twice and knocked big holes in the sheetrock which is the ceiling for the garage. I had the wife go get some sheetrock squares and had to cut out and patch the ceiling in the garage. The ceiling is textured so today I get to spackle and spray texturing on the places I patched. It took almost all of three 24" square pieces to patch the two holes. I'm beginning to wonder if this project is worth the hassle. Not the way I pictured spending my week off.

Did you invent new swearwords or use the good ol' standbys when that happened, Hitt? That sounds like how my projects generally go, which is why I avoid projects!

lazy day with my kids today. My daughter got a tetherball set for xmas. I played with her last night. Um...is there any point to the game and how does one win? Is it supposed to take forever? I've never played it before in my life and I'm not convinced my daughter was giving me proper rules and instructions.

I probably sounded like the dad from a Christmas story. Only my swear words were clearly pronounced. I'm going to take a break from the attic today. I have to figure out how to cut down and put a door where there's only about 55" of clearance. The wall where I have to put the door is where the garage peak is. It's not livable space since you can't stand up straight in there but it'll be ok for storage.

Good morning. I took yesterday off and am going to try to get going on figuring out how to get a door cut down and installed for the attic. I only have about 54" so I'm thinking to cut it down to about 48" or so. I wish I had more carpentry experience.

That is funny Skrymr. I would if they would cut wood.

 

[Skrymr]

Yeah, I see you're point Hitt. You should call the local zoo and see if you can borrow a beaver.

Well, I joined a gym, got my second workout in today. I like the recumbent bike. I don't like how my upper body hurts like h#&l.... Oh well, it needs to be done.

Evening all, sounds like everyone is having a ball. My gf's sil came over today and moved the TR4A to his place. I'm hoping it's not too much of a project for him. The car looks great for sitting as a home for mice the last 15 years. No noticeable wire issues and the carpet and seats were left alone. We even found a critter when we opened the trunk. I think living in the woods might have avoided them looking for other food sources. There was a moving blanket in the trunk which they destroyed for nesting material and the hood, cockpit and engine had an assortment of nut shells scattered everywhere. It was a treat getting it loaded on the car transport with about an inch on each side to spare for the tires. We strapped it down and it made the hour trip with no issues.

I picked up a San Disk MP3 player with 4gb of storage and another 16gb on a micro card. It's absolutely amazing what you can load into a 2" x 1.5" player. It also has an FM radio which gets great reception where I live which in itself is pretty amazing. I'm amazed that most smartphones don't have one included.

We had the coldest day of the winter today with flurrys expected tonight, but it's supposed to warm up by the weekend. I'm looking for laid back for new year's eve.

Skrymr that's great that you're working out. I try to get two or three a week in. It just makes me feel better.

Roth my daughter had a sandisk player before we got her an ipod touch. It was pretty nice. It's good that the memory is expandable.

I managed to get nothing done today besides going to the store and buying a door and wood for the frame. I might try to do a little of the framing tonight.

Today was pretty insane- I ran around like a crazy man all day.
Tomorrow should be good - the wife is off and I am pretty well caught up so we may slack together all day.

Wiz, I'm taking the kids to the movies tomorrow so that will be my break.

Gutter I'll bet it feels good to be caught up. I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow.

Gutter, Brown Bag definitely has some Doors influence. I liked it, although I did only a sample since I was on my SAT WIFI and was protecting my usage. I'll probably download some stuff when I'm tethering to my droid.

Looks like I've just about maxed out my San Disk. Glad I bought 2 16gb cards. Hitt, your daughter probably had the original Sansa Clip. The Clip+ added the memory slot. At less than $30 and around $10/16gb, it's was a no brainer for me. I didn't need a large device to add to my growing list of "carry ons"- smartphone, snus can, snuff can, ecig, clip+ and wallet is plenty to fill my jeans.

 

[hittman]

Good morning. Roth, she had the sandisk fuse. I think it was 4gb plus the memory slot.

Good morning. Wow, no new posts since yesterday.

Wiz, you'll be glad to know I did go to the movies yesterday with the kids. Then I came home and got the door for the attic cut down and reassembled. I had to take the whole thing apart, cut the frame and door, and then reassemble the new 48" door. Today, I'm going to try to actually get the framing done and install it. I'm moving slow on this project since I haven't done anything like this before. It's taking a lot longer thinking it over than actually doing the work.

Good luck Hitt! What's everyone doing for New Year's? I'm doing nothing! My hubby and kids went out to get me bday gifts quick. Better last minute than never, I guess . It is always entertaining to see what my kids come up with for presents. I wondered how I'd feel turning 39 today. Hmmm, still feel like I am 23, only a bit more mellow and wiser.
