How's Your Day? Archives

Its all about the practice... I am about 55 but with 95% accuracy. Maybe 90%. Make a bit too many mistakes. Just need to type more.

 

I'm a pretty quick typer - not sure just how fast.
As for accuracy, it seems to depend on the day.
I sat down at the computer this past Monday and couldn't seem to hit the correct keys to save my soul.

 

I wish I had this man's gift of technobabble:

He did that in one take, ad-libbing. :biggrin: That man has a true talent.

 

Yes sir!

The 2011 Charger is pretty fun to drive. I have a Honda Oddessy, and drive Ford F150's at work. This car is like the besty of both. power of the truck (almost), but awsome handling of my mini-van...well much better handling. It's been fun to drive!

 

Great post Micah! Amazing how well the says absolutely nothing sensical.

 

And yet, nearly every word he used was an actual word. I'm flabbergasted.

 

Wow... got a low balance warning on the toll road tonight. When I got home I checked my account, forced fed some money into the account and was shocked when I looked at the statement. Over $60 in tolls in the last two weeks. Ugh, no wonder I feel like we are always on the road.

 

I had a pleasant surprise today when the boss remembered me for System Administrators Day! (cue shock and surprise) Took me out for a steak lunch, and gave me a gift card for walmart! So, TWGW and I load up and go to Walmart to see what kind of a toy I can get with my newfound $30 in riches... Right off the bat I spot one of those Cricut machines on clearance (it's the smaller one, only does 6x12) and it's marked down to $45! Well, we can't pass that up... so now we have to go check out what carts they have... big sale-- 1/2 off! And what's this? A $6 DVD of Lawrence Olivier in Pride and Prejudice--that's one we've been looking for... Oh and look! The newest issue of her magazine is out!

That free $30 cost me over $100 when it was all said and done.

I did buy a tube of silicone and a box of nitril gloves, but I'll be darned if I was going to use my gift card on that.

Thought about getting a bb pistol for chasing critters off my property, but I figured I'd rather kill skunks than spook them.
So my gift card is still intact and I'm going to use it on me... I just don't have a clue what for. I'll probably just end up using it on groceries or gas when it's all said and done.

 

Yeah I hate it when gift cards end up causing you to spend more money than they were worth.

Daughter has a Cricut machine from when she was uber into scrap booking. Unfortunately, it was a Christmas gift and by the time Christmas rolled around she was mostly out of that interest. Ugh... But they certainly are neat little machines!

Nitril glove and silicone? yeah.... just don't need to know.

 

I think it has something to do with swimming while wearing his new undergarments....(yeah, I know, I know, the jokes getting old....I hope I'm done now)

 

Today was to be my light cardio day. I was planning on about 40 minutes on the elliptical to work up a good sweat and staying away from weights.

Normally when I get there Saturday mornings, they have movies like Gladiator, Mad Max, or something playing that keeps my mind off how boring cardio really is. No such luck this morning. It was Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle. Yuck. On a bright note, the 4 elliptical machines were occupied, so my plans changed and I figured I would go as far and long as I could on the Summit Trainer. It kicked my a$$ properly, but I got a second wind before I started cramping up and was able to manage 1.5 vertical miles in just over 22 minutes. My whole body aches right now, but I doubled my previous best distance. Granted my previous best was done on a heavy leg day, but still I'm impressed and I didn't even feel like I was going to puke doing it. It also minimized my exposure to Tom Hanks.

Not a bad morning. Now to go shoot some skeet.

 

What's everybody's thoughts on co2 bb guns? I used to own a crossman 45mm look-alike when I was a kid. It would shoot bbs or 22 caliber pellets. It packed quite a wallop for an air pistol. Are the newer ones better? Walmart had a kit that included a pistol, 2 canisters, some bbs and a pair of shooting glasses for $35. I'm not sure I really would get much use out of it though.

I'm trying to make some "oogoo" it's a homemade version of sugru. I want to use it to make a mold of the emblem on the back of my typewriter so that I can make a new one for the front.

 

I just recently went Pellet gun shopping. The CO2 pistols weren't all that great. I had a Crossman as a youngster and they really lack killing power. The cartridges were pricey and ran out pretty quickly. What I really wanted was a break action .22 calibre rifle, but didn't want to spend that much to dispatch a dozen or so rabbits that were destroying my garden. I ended up with a Daisy Powerline 880. It was just over $40 (with an inexpensive scope) and it made short work of the rabbits. I wouldn't use the .177 on anything large or more difficult to kill, but it filled the role I had for it. It's now in the shed and probably wont be used until next year.

 

As it has been for weeks on end. Very Hot and Very Dry!

 

just finished doing my 3rd wedding this afternoon.....clarification: this afternoon, I officiated my third wedding ever....yeah, don't think I have the focus to do three ceremonies in one day!

Also, I've located a bike for sale today, I need to give it a good look over, and come up with half a hundred dollar bill, but it looks good in the pictures.
It's a Schwinn, and I couldn't resist the temptation....told my wife, "once I have it, I can start riding it in the mornings, and then if someone calls looking for me, she can tell them I'm Gone With the Schwinn"
(thank you, Kermit, for the inspiration)

 

why thank you!

 

If you're using it for varmint control/ reduction, then I'd say save your money up and get a .22 rifle.

 

Well, you know...

It was accidental

....

but yet so very cool
