Good afternoon all, great day at the flea market for me. First things first though.. Tracy, that is great news! Congratulations to you and your wife. I am so very glad it worked out for you. I hope all goes well in the pregnancy and you have the little girl your wife is hoping for. To be honest, after our 2 boys were born I was done with kids, but my wife snuck the last one in on me because she still wanted a girl. As luck would have it, that is what we had and my daughter has become a daddy's girl. I am very thankful for her every day as I am my 2 boys. I'm down in the Kankakee area, I have been to 2 Red Robins, one in the Aurora area and one in Schereville Indiana. As for my flea market trip.. Score! I picked up 2 flair tips for $4.00 each, a Slim Twist for $2.00, a Slim adjustable for $2.00, and finally a Schick Injector adjustable for $5.00. Treated the family to Schoops burgers on the way home..
Best use for Red IPs: Stick 'em into apples, peaches, and other fruits and mail them to Ray in a fruit basket. Fun will follow.
Hello and happy Sunday kids. @ Tracy: Congrats bro! That's great news. I love kids. Wish we had more running around here too. @ Justin: After thinking a bit about the whole Hera (BSG) thing I did realize she passed on cylon DNA to everybody. I just kind of fail to see the significance because most of the human type cylons were killed and couldn't reproduce anyway. So she was it and after 150k years I think the cylon blood would be quite diluted. I do get it though, the remnants of cylon DNA would forever be in our genetic code. Ok. So what? It fits into the mythology of the show somehow, I just don't get it. I've been reading a few online forums and it seems opinions are split regarding the finale. Some think it was a cop out where all the shows mysteries were laid off on "that's what God wanted". They feel that was cheating and an easy out. Personally I thought the final battle scene was kick ass and made it a good ending. @ Dustin/Bong: I have Newcastles in bottles in the fridge right now. Tastes ok to me, but I only have one every now and then. I never thought about this business of clear bottles being bad. Makes sense though. Of course these are kept in a dark fridge so I think it should be ok. @ Matt: Shaved w/ the adjustable today using Irisch Moos and a third-day 7 black blade. Quite a nice shave. First of all I love those blades. They rock and they last. Thank God I found a blade for me. I set the razor to '5' and got a nice, close shave. Next time I'll try '6' and see how that does. Thanks for the loaner. I might have to jack you and keep it! @ everyone else: Hola.
More luck at that same estate sale. Got there with about 30 seconds to go, after the 80% off mark, and picked up a Micromatic for $2.50. Pics will be in the Haul, but how can I tell it's vintage?
You guys that constantly talk about estate sales/antique stores/etc. - how do you find out about the places to which you go? I haven't found much in the way of good antique stores here in Boston.
