| 20100311 10:24 | 49 Pan | OS, Doxycycline is a low grade antibiotic we took daily to help keep the bugs away. We would start it a week before we departed and through about a week after. There is a little debate about preventitive antibiotics but I would look into it. | ||
| 20100311 08:04 | Creating Mussolini9716 | Morning, All. Still at home with the Hoopzoodics. Went to the Shaman yesterday. I have a respiratory bacterial infection. Whoopee. I am getting better, I no longer want someone to come shoot me. | ||
| 20100311 07:48 | AutoBartender | Morning. Rainy and 65 on tap here today in Dirtytown. | ||

| 20100311 00:00 | 3dc | *NET March 22: The first Falcon 9 rocket built by Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) is slated to launch on its maiden test flight during a demonstration mission to blast off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. EST (1600-2000 GMT). | ||
| 20100310 21:13 | Pappy | The two main objectives in the current war are to not admit there is a war and to put on good show of fighting it without upsetting anyone. Something I said back in December: prior to Reagan, the Cold War, IMNSHO, had become an endless war. What was not to like about it? It funded academia. It provided numerous civilian employment opportunities both in and out of government. It had become a game where everyone in the political spectrum could play, where there were “acceptable levels of violence”, negotiations that were objectives in themselves, and where diplomatic positioning was paramount. There was no ‘win’, only the objectives of maintaining a status quo, a “detente” and avoiding open war. There was some unpleasantness in the darkness of a back alley, some backwater nation, or in the depths of the ocean, but it was out of sight and didn’t upset more meaningful things like the Great Society or the European welfare states. There were American casualties. But not in the large numbers of WWII. But factor in Vietnamese, Cambodians, Koreans, Czechs, Hungarians, Israelis, Egyptians, Brits, Germans, Italians, Lebanese, Congolese, Rhodesians, Angolans, Afghanis, Ethiopians, Cubans, Nicaraguans, Colombians, Argentinians, Peruvians, Filipinos, Malaysians, Japanese, and American civilians over the course of four decades… I could’ve summed it all up by saying the Cold War was better than the alternative which the world had experienced before that, but it eventually became an all-too-acceptable situation. I think a new Cold War is what’s being tried again. I can’t help but look at Washington’s antics and think “historical reenactment”. Look who the administration’s foreign policy advisers are. The mindset certainly never really went away. | ||
| 20100310 18:26 | swksvolFF | Ohhhh Glenmore, bet that would be good. | ||
| 20100310 17:28 | Glenmore | swksvolFF "Found an olde style recipe for boeuf bourguignon and used it" Made up my own variant - using venison - the other day without realizing it until later. mmmmm | ||
| 20100310 16:45 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | More from the same thread: Well, that turns out not to be the case. We do have the mechanism of a presidential finding that can license the CIA to do what must be done, for the good of the state. We certainly have Predators that can fire at a dirty napkin, within a certain protocol. It’s very Bugs Bunny really, you dress up, put on your spectacles and white gloves, carefully examine and measure, think deep thoughts, then pull out a sledgehammer and whack whatever needs whacking. Terrorists must be given their rights, only when Obama (or somebody like him) wants to stick it to his domestic political foes. The moment we take the terrorists seriously, we carpet bomb his home town, whether he’s there or not. If we want to be realistic about things, let’s *be* realistic. | ||
| 20100310 16:43 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Seen in the comments section of Belmont Club: The Cold War was based on two Western main objectives. One was to prevent the outbreak of a worldwide nuclear war. The other was to oppose the USSR wherever and whenever, as described by the Admiral in the film “The Bridges of Toko Ri.” So we did move and countermove with the communists, from the deepest depths of the ocean to the seas of the Moon. The problem with this approach is that the communists were always willing to go further. A Smith and Wesson beats a royal flush. But a Stalin tank beats a truckload of Smith and Wessons. Despite winning most of the covert war we were losing the one that counted. That is, until Ronald Reagan, who decided to just get the damn thing over with. An M1A1 Abrams with some A-10’s overhead beats a boatload of Stalin tanks, or T-55’s or T-62’s or T-72’s. Game, set, match and we got ya’ covered Ivan. The two main objectives in the current war are to not admit there is a war and to put on good show of fighting it without upsetting anyone. The trial of KSM in NYC is designed to say to the Right “We are too opposing these guys!” and to the Left “There, there, ACLU, you ARE important and we DO care about your feelings!” The old saying was that after WWIII was fought with nukes that WWIV would be fought with clubs and brickbats. Instead, WWIV is being fought with lawyers and that will mean that WWV will be fought with nukes. | ||
| 20100310 16:21 | OldSpook | Doxi? Immodium I got. | ||
| 20100310 16:16 | swksvolFF | Afternoon all, enjoying some rain out here. Found an olde style recipe for boeuf bourguignon and used it the other day. Can't share it, its against the law, cuz it calls for stuff like carrots sautee softned in salt pork/bacon grease. mighty good stuff. Looked like a heckuva lot of good cooking went on last weekend, jealous jealous. Kansas is now getting into sugar tax idea, about to write a little letter to my state rep and sen. After hearing an IVAW advertisement during the KU/MIZZ game, perhaps the state could save some money by cutting its funds to there, at least until the public funded university can refrain from advertising political entities. Where is the funding for IVAW coming from? Not just anyone can get the coveted advertising spots for KU basketball, nevermind the big rivalry game - maybe a question for the folks at TAH? I know there are practical and technical issues with the thing, but I think the Osprey is a beautiful piece of machinary. TW, have been reading some Suess recently - I'm liking the Czar Belly Sneetches story myself ;) | ||
| 20100310 14:03 | Sherry | Okay -- commented in The Burg and it seems good now. | ||
| 20100310 14:03 | Sherry | Didn't keep my log in | ||
| 20100310 14:02 | 49 Pan | OS, I have spent time in India, not at your location. I had a great time and wish I had taken my wife with me as well. I have really only one bit of advice, take a lot of imodium and start a doxi regiment. Even if your staying in a four star hotels, you will get the bug. If you get a chance go to Katmandu. Nepal is an interesting and enjoyable place. | ||
| 20100310 14:01 | Sherry | Logging in from new computer at work! Not sure I'm liking it so far. | ||
| 20100310 12:15 | abu do you love | it continues | ||
| 20100310 10:51 | 3dc | OS. I used to have Indian engineers in bangalore working for me while at a certain multinational. Many are still in India and on my linkedin and facebook pages. E-mail me if you want some people to talk to there. | ||
| 20100310 10:39 | OldSpook | Anyone here ever been to India, specifically Hyderabad? I have a chance to do a relatively lucrative 4 week contract there in June/July. May take Mrs Spook since there look to be a ton of museums and sights to see. Just wondering how the place is from first or second hand. Looks nice online, but everything looks nice in the intarwebz. | ||

| 20100310 09:44 | OldSpook | Maybe Texas should secede and drill the crap outta the Gulf. | ||
| 20100310 00:24 | badanov | Todaze Kitteh: see more Lolcats and funny pictures | ||
| 20100309 23:30 | Pappy | California compared to Texas. Tho the Texas legislature actually meets 140 days every two years and they won independence, then joined the Union. Other than that... | ||
| 20100309 23:15 | Pappy | We had a visitor at work today. | ||
| 20100309 23:05 | Pappy | Evening. One from Mark Krikorian: Fully one-quarter of the space on this year's form is taken up with questions of race and ethnicity, which are clearly illegitimate and none of the government's business (despite the New York Times' assurances to the contrary on today's editorial page). So until we succeed in building the needed wall of separation between race and state, I have a proposal. Question 9 on the census form asks "What is Person 1's race?" (and so on, for other members of the household). My initial impulse was simply to misidentify my race so as to throw a monkey wrench into the statistics; I had fun doing this on the personal-information form my college required every semester, where I was a Puerto Rican Muslim one semester, and a Samoan Buddhist the next. But lying in this constitutionally mandated process is wrong. Really — don't do it. Instead, we should answer Question 9 by checking the last option — "Some other race" — and writing in "American." It's a truthful answer but at the same time is a way for ordinary citizens to express their rejection of unconstitutional racial classification schemes. In fact, "American" was the plurality ancestry selection for respondents to the 2000 census in four states and several hundred counties. | ||
| 20100309 22:58 | Glenmore | Snow thing, when you go to the gas station and are happy at the prices, my upstream spot will be getting shaky. And when you hurt the most, my job is most secure. Downstream is hurting a lot because more and more refining is being done in and by producing countries instead of in and by consuming countries. More profit for them, less jobs for us. (Plus, nobody here wants those nasty refineries around their back yards, which makes modernizing or expanding them a challenge; the sheiks of the burning sands don't care what their people think.) | ||
| 20100309 22:29 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | How's upstream holding out for ya? | ||
| 20100309 21:57 | Glenmore | 49Pan: "It will be found unconstitutional and tossed out" Yeah, that's what I thought about McCain-Feingold..... lotp: I should be ok, at least for now - that's 'downstream' and I'm 'upstream'. And retirement is not that far out of range. But thanks. | ||
| 20100309 21:01 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Pa. coal town above mine fire claims massive fraud. | ||
| 20100309 20:08 | AutoBartender | Picture taken last Saturday at Deacon's place, looking down toward the house from the top of the knoll by the horse barn: That was taken early in the afternoon, as people were arriving. Somewhere down there in that crowd around the grill are Deacon, 49 Pan and Alaska Paul, along with Paul's family and several others who'd stopped by to call. Not quite Springtime yet, but definitely headed in that direction... | ||
| 20100309 19:34 | lotp | Evening all. A quick visit during a really busy time ... Glenmore, here's hoping your job escapes unscathed. | ||
| 20100309 19:24 | trailing wife | Congrats on cutting off another few heads of the hydra, Fred and badanov. | ||
| 20100309 19:21 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | With any luck... He won't get anything he wants at Alice's Restaurant. (Via.) | ||
| 20100309 18:53 | 49 Pan | I wish the Congress would pass this health care bill, then the Senate can pass it and Obama can sign it into law. From there will come the constitutional challenges from the states and opponents flooding the supreme court. It will be found unconstitutional and tossed out before it can be implemented. | ||
| 20100309 18:51 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Hello guys. I've forgotten most of what I was gonna post here but here wasn't here. | ||
| 20100309 17:44 | AutoBartender | Yup. Been looking like Spam Central most of the day here. | ||
| 20100309 17:35 | Deacon Blues | Howdy again. Looks like Fred is having a rough day under the hood. | ||
| 20100309 13:18 | trailing wife | Getting hammered, indeed, Fred. Can't get through the front door or the moderator links, and coming to one of the backdoors revealed your message. Let me know when I can put a cold beer in your hand to balance the heated vocabulary coming from under-the-hood. ;-) | ||
| 20100309 12:48 | Glenmore | Chevron Downstream Executive Vice President Mike Wirth today announced potential changes to our portfolio and reductions to the workforce – two actions he said are necessary for a profitable and competitive Downstream organization. “These actions are part of our commitment to restructure downstream to drive sustained operational excellence, further cost reductions, better accountability, and quicker results,” ...plans to exit 12 states in the eastern United States and to sell 13 U.S. terminals. Continuing that effort, the company will solicit bids for our fuels marketing, aviation and lubricants businesses in the Caribbean, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Belize, as well as our refinery interest in Martinique. ... will solicit bids in Europe for our Pembroke Refinery and our fuels marketing, aviation and lubricants businesses. Reviews also are under way for our operations in Hawaii and select operations in Africa. as we’ve exited markets, sold company-owned service stations and terminals, we now need less support and overhead. Benchmarking shows we should have broader spans of management. It’s time to move to a simpler and a leaner organization.” Not including the aforementioned portfolio changes, Wirth said the company expects to reduce the downstream workforce by about 2,000 employees by the end of the year, and by another several hundred during 2011. And while nearly every business unit will be affected, he said the greatest impacts will be felt in the United States, Africa, and Asia Pacific. | ||
| 20100309 12:32 | Deacon Blues | Afternoon, All. The Alaska Paul family just took off for Nashville. It was a great honor for me to host such a fine bunch of people. I had and wonderful time. If it hadn't been for Fred setting up this site I wouldn't have got to know everyone. Maybe Fred can make it next time. | ||
| 20100309 12:31 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | free republic has a thread up on layoffs at Chevron, but there aren't any details. | ||
| 20100309 12:03 | trailing wife | Fred, getting the following message when I post a comment: This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/. I click the OK, and then the comment posts. | ||
| 20100309 11:38 | AutoBartender | "...and to AutoBartender, who brought that fine 21 year old straight malt scotch down here." Just don't drink it all at one time, Deacon. 62F and sunny here in Philly. Looks like Winter has been broken: high 50's and low 60's on tap for the rest of the week here. Sweet. | ||
| 20100309 11:06 | Beldar Threreling9726 | They are playing the "finer mist = better combustion" angle. And Slashdot is not the tech place it used to be. Few real engineers there, lots of wannabees and left leaning children with no sense of history. | ||
| 20100309 10:59 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I'm just suprised that they've never even heard of that sort of thing before. It's one of the great foundational myths of the hundred mpg carborateur scam. ---------------------- (And also, I don't see how higher injection pressures should work out to higher pressures _in the cylinder_, which is dominated by the pressure of the air in the cylinder and whatever the piston compresses it to.) | ||
| 20100309 10:53 | Beldar Threreling9726 | KDawson the editor who promoted that article is a hard core leftist moron. He is part of the decline of Slashdot into a slightly geekier version of DailyKos. | ||
| 20100309 10:21 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Dudes, let's all welcome Slashdot to 1970... 50% Efficiency Boost From New Fuel Injection System: "The key is heating and pressurizing gasoline before injecting it into the combustion chamber, says Mike Rocke, Transonic's vice president of business development. And suddenly, all the usual limitations of the Otto Thermodynamic Cycle no longer apply, because they heated the gasoline. Can't these people even come up with an original scam of their own? | ||
| 20100309 10:02 | Deacon Blues and AP | Morning from Clinch Mountain. It is a beautiful morning here in Tennessee, and the temp is +64F. AP and family are headed for Nashville later this AM. And a hearty good morning to Rantburgers, and to AutoBartender, who brought that fine 21 year old straight malt scotch down here. | ||
| 20100308 22:16 | Pappy | Apparently Holmgrem is making his mark. | ||
| 20100308 22:04 | badanov | Holy Sh*t! Former Iowa State quarterback Seneca Wallace goes to Cleveland! | ||
| 20100308 21:15 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | It's only confirming what we already know.... Physorg: Carbon emissions 'outsourced' to developing countries: A new study by scientists at the Carnegie Institution finds that over a third of carbon dioxide emissions associated with consumption of goods and services in many developed countries are actually emitted outside their borders. Some countries, such as Switzerland, "outsource" over half of their carbon dioxide emissions, primarily to developing countries. The study finds that, per person, about 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide are consumed in the U.S. but produced somewhere else. For Europeans, the figure can exceed four tons per person. Most of these emissions are outsourced to developing countries, especially China. | ||
| 20100308 20:34 | Anonymoose | Chillin' in Afghanistan. http://imgur.com/gEYDS | ||
| 20100308 20:33 | Glenmore | Is that a for-real, paying advertisement for that Dutch beer on this page? If not, it oughta get edited to Yuengling, methinks. | ||
| 20100308 18:26 | AutoBartender | Back safe and sound in Philthadelphia after a 9-1/2 hour drive from Deacon's place. Deacon, thanks once again for a wonderful time-- your gracious hospitality is incomparable, as always. Dang but you sure do put on a good feed... Erk, it was great meeting you and I enjoyed every one of those beers you brought along. Hope I didn't leave any of the assortment untried. Nice to hear you liked the whale meat. To me it tasted like livers. 'Nuff said. 49 Pan, it was great meeting you, too, and I'm glad to hear you got back to Miss. in one piece. Man, you must have been haulin' ass to get there so quick. AP, what can I say-- we've talked so much and so often on the honk line that meeting you in person I had to remind myself "I've never met this guy before." Hope you and your family enjoy the rest of the week rammin' around Tennessee and seeing the sights and taking in some history-- there's a lot of it there. Deacon, we ought to get together again when the weather warms up a bit so we don't end up frozen on one side and burnt on the other while sitting around the bonfire. Lemme know what you think. BTW, tell your son-in-law I see what he means about that water tower. It's one helluva water tower, for sure. Almost stopped to take a picture of it for him, but I was flying at treetop level with both afterburners on max at the time and couldn't slow down for the exit... | ||
| 20100308 14:27 | Glenmore | 3dc, but make it programmable so you don't have to sit there in the garage with a cold remote control in your hand. | ||
| 20100308 13:37 | 3dc | A video of what I need for next winter | ||
| 20100308 13:26 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I'm glad to know that everyone had a good time and that AB deigned to let Dave D. out of the trunk for a while. | ||
| 20100308 13:05 | gromky | Next Rantburg meeting in Shanghai. | ||
| 20100308 12:36 | Erk | Deacon, thanks so much for the hospitality Sunday. Loved the food (whale was not bad at all) and the shootout. You're a gracious host. I'm especially grateful to meet a couple of your friends from Rantburg. AP (and family) and Autobartender, it was great sharing a beautiful (almost spring) day with you. I hope to get a chance to see you again and meet more Rantburgers (or is it Rantburgians) another day. | ||
| 20100308 11:57 | Deacon Blues | We had a Sunday afternoon shootout to round out the festivities. Dave D brought is .22 target pistols. One fellow had a 0.223 semi auto AR-15 knockoff, Deacon's daughter and son-in-law brought a Glock 17 and a Beretta 9mm to the event, and Deacon had some replicas of Civil War carbines. Here is a short video clip of Deacon shooting off a Civil War artilleryman's carbine. | ||
| 20100308 11:12 | Deacon Blues | Here are some more pics fro Saturday night at Deacon's. First pic is of Dave D on L with Deacon on the bass  Next pic is of evening music. We played for hours. Later Deacon got out his concertina.  Bill White and Leif jammin' on their guitars.  | ||
| 20100308 03:12 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Pappy: those are good points. Last I heard, they were arguing about whether it was him they had, or someone else. I guess Al Qaeda has too many fat bastidges. | ||
| 20100307 23:23 | 49 Pan | Made it back to Mississippi, safe, sound, and no speeding tickets. What a great time we had at Deacons! Deacon, thanks for all the food, good times and friendship! HAY FRED!, Thanks! Through your web site I have had the honor of making friends I would have never met in any other venue. From 1SGT Deacon to our very own Autobartender to the Alaskan engineer bush pilot, these are folks who's friendship I will cherish forever. Again Fred, thanks! | ||
| 20100307 22:39 | Pappy | Snowy, I doubt that the Islamabad is going to extradite him to the US. That he publicly renounced his citizenship and burned his passport is probably adds to whatever rationale the Paks use. | ||
| 20100307 21:56 | trailing wife | abu do you love, love the video. Thank you! | ||
| 20100307 19:43 | abu do you love | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BjF5XQ4TAo&NR=1 Priceless commentary from the Onion | ||
| 20100307 18:54 | Glenmore | Sure sorry I couldn't make it up to Clinch Mountain. So wife and I did the next best thing this gorgeous Sunday and went to the range and added to a very rich copper-lead deposit behind some targets. | ||
| 20100307 18:15 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Treason charges were filed against him in 2006; those charges are still outstanding. | ||
| 20100307 17:37 | Pappy | Meaning, since he's a propagandist and there's no hard evidence that he was involved in actual attacks against US targets, he might see Pakistani prison for a few months. | ||
| 20100307 16:11 | badanov | They | ||
| 20100307 13:32 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I think the Pakistanis are building up to capturing Bin Laden sometime in October to save Zero's ass in the elections then. | ||
| 20100307 13:13 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | I'm back, I guess. I got some sleep between sunrise and now. | ||
| 20100307 13:06 | Pappy | Geez, Ima reeely sorry Ima not there. | ||
| 20100307 12:01 | Deacon Blues | Here is a short video that 49 Pan took of us playing some music: | ||
| 20100307 11:25 | badanov | O-Clubbers: I have written a tiny sub routine that will record IPs of bad guys. The record is s'posed to be of just spammers. You will know if you wound up on the list if all of a sudden you can't post a comment at the 'Burg. Let me know of something looks funny, s'il vous plait. plzkthx | ||
| 20100307 09:55 | Deacon Blues & AP | A fine Sunday morning to y'all from Deacon's farm here below the slopes of Clinch Mountain. We had a bonzer time here last night. Bunch of people here yesterday and last night. Rantburgers: Deacon, 49 Pan, AutoBartender, Dave D., Alaska Paul. On the phone: Walter, Sherry, Joe of the Jungle on a rowing shell working out in the Philippines. On the menu: Potato salad Vegetables, Rice n stuff in grape leaves Asparagus with some kind of delicious wrapping Roast Pork Beef Quail Bowhead Whale Chicken (tastes like chicken™) Dessert: Chocolate cake Carrot cake Cheesecake The pics are comin in so it will take a few postings to get all the festivities. Some of us drove up to the gap and hiked up to the old 1930s fire lookout at Clinch Mountain. Intrepid hikers: 49 Pan, AP, Mrs. AP, and AP's son. AutoBartender had to take Dave D back to the farm because of his knee. Here are some pics: Pic of cabin near the top of the mountain near the fire lookout.  Pic of 49 Pan, AP, Mrs. AP, and AP's son:  Pic of AP on top of the mountain, old fire lookout in background. Steps are missing or rotten.  Here is a pic of 49 Pan and AP:  Later we had a huge bonfire, and then played some music till late. Got to download some more cameras. Then we will bring you some more play-by-play. We had lots of fine beverages, including: Yuengling that AutoBartender brought, Guinness Hard cider Various types of fine liquor Some fine moonshine | ||
| 20100307 09:30 | AutoBartender | AP took a bunch of pictures, but not embarrassing ones (I think). On tap today: more beer, more Scotch, more 'shine, some target shooting, and another huge bonfire. We're up to 32F now, and I think I'll mosey on up there (10 minutes away) and see if anybody's awake yet. See you all later. | ||
| 20100307 09:16 | Glenmore | I hope somebody took some good or embarassing pictures to post. | ||
| 20100307 07:37 | lotp | Morning, all. AB, Deacon, AP, 49Pan ... I hope your weekend together continues to be absolutely delightful. | ||
| 20100307 07:29 | AutoBartender | Sun's up. So it's morning. Clear and 24F here in Rogersville, TN, going up to 59F later on. I figure on going on over to Deacon's place around 9 or 10 or so. Just had breakfast down in the hotel dining room. *URP* | ||
| 20100307 07:04 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | guess it's no longer 'tonight.' | ||
| 20100307 06:57 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | slashdot article on counterfeit intel processors from newegg. | ||
| 20100307 06:53 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | having trouble sleeping tonight. It's depressing to log onto the net and see at 0 dark thirty in the morning all the spam messages since midnight. | ||
| 20100307 00:37 | trailing wife | Deacon Blues does know how to throw a party... | ||
| 20100306 22:24 | AutoBartender | Dang. Good food. Good beer. Good company. Good music (courtesy of AP and family). BIG bonfire. Finally back at hotel, same one 49 Pan's at. Everybody's still over at Deacon's place eating whale meat and cinnamon cheesecake... Tomorrow we shoot. | ||
| 20100306 22:22 | AutoBartender | *URP* | ||
| 20100306 22:20 | 49 Pan | I just got back to the hotel from Deacon's house. What a great time! Big bonfire, music, great food, and as AP said,"I get to meet all my close friends I have never seen". What a wonderfull time, and yes we toasted everyone at the Burg from Joe of the Jungle in Manila, to Sherry! Auto Bartender supplied the beer and lots of Deacon's friends and family came by to enjoy the evening... | ||
| 20100306 21:50 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | went over to amer. digest as per pappy's comment. found this.  | ||
| 20100306 21:46 | Glenmore | 3dc, I guess it's a good thing that bridge railing was built with a better grade of cement than those schools in the earthquake zone in 2008. | ||
| 20100306 20:50 | 3dc | 2) No - I have to go back to children's little league for that- It's when you look at your game film (behind home plate) and see you little kid really got a strike - after the argument you won with the ump... | ||
| 20100306 20:08 | Pappy | Evening. San Diego run was fine - not as much a problem as originally thought. Ruminations, courtesy of American Digest: 1.Part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. 3. There is great need for a sarcasm font. 4. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. 5. Bad decisions make good stories. | ||
| 20100306 19:27 | OldSpook | Just got done cleaning out an old box from a a storage shed. House Party - we watched it. I had forgotten how funny the movie was, and especially the closing credits where Kid tries to sneak back in and his pops is waiting on him. I used to get talked to while I got whupped with a belt like that - now it makes me laugh (and realize how much better off I probably am for it in spite of how much I hated that, kinda like Drill Instructor abuse). Below is the closing scene and credits, I mentioned. RIP Robin Harris. (warning: harsh [but funny] language) | ||
| 20100306 19:11 | 3dc | Glenmore - the other photos showed it hanging from the railing with the rail wedged between the dual tires. | ||

| 20100306 18:54 | badanov | You're not my table, but I will pour anyway | ||
| 20100306 18:16 | Glenmore | Levitation visitor was me. Speaking of Levitation, I believe I'll have a Levitation Ale. | ||
| 20100306 18:06 | swksvolFF | That was awesome! (great camera work too) | ||
| 20100306 15:27 | Frank G | that took a lot of work - very cool | ||
| 20100306 15:26 | Frank G | This too shall pass - Rube Goldberg edition (from AOSHQ comments) | ||
| 20100306 13:42 | Fred | Double post is my fault. Normally you do your update and then the page reloads from scratch. I was debugging and turned that part off. I'm about to fix it... | ||
| 20100306 13:41 | Fred | The updated field is the cookie of the last person who touched the record. If there's no "updated" entry then whoever created the record bypassed the data entry page -- meaning they've got a copy of their own. | ||
| 20100306 13:30 | Old Patriot | What's with the double-post? I just refreshed the page to see if there had been anything added. | ||
| 20100306 13:29 | Old Patriot | Anybody heard from Joe? There were two 5.0 earthquakes about 250 miles west of Guam in the last hour. | ||

| 20100306 13:15 | OldSpook | Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood. | ||
| 20100306 13:02 | Glenmore | Levitation visitor was me. Speaking of Levitation, I believe I'll have a Levitation Ale. | ||
| 20100306 13:01 | Visitor | What holds that truck up, 3dc? Levitation? | ||
| 20100306 12:30 | Visitor | What holds that truck up, 3dc? Levitation? | ||
| 20100306 11:49 | Fred | I've gone over ePoster and all the buttons work, to include foto insert. | ||
| 20100306 11:22 | lotp | Morning, all. I am totally overbooked with stuff that has to get done yesterday, but took a moment to watch this. Alfonzo Rachel to Olberman: Man up. Borrow some of Rachel Maddow's Old Spice if you have to ... heh | ||
| 20100306 10:01 | 3dc | great photo from china | ||
| 20100306 09:57 | 3dc | Paul - I warned you about Atlanta having a really bad road design... | ||
| 20100306 09:53 | 3dc | interesting dig around Toba Eruption period | ||
| 20100306 09:39 | Fred | I'm now in Firefox on my Mac. Most (htough not all) the buttons work. I'm going to fix the ones that don't, but the highlight button's not one of those busted. | ||
| 20100306 09:27 | Fred | I'll switch to Firefox for the day and check the poster. If it ain't one thing it's another... | ||
| 20100306 08:42 | twobyfour | Badanov, thanks! | ||
| 20100306 07:53 | AutoBartender | OK, I'm all coffeed up and ready to roll. See you sometime around 1:00, Deacon. | ||
| 20100306 07:40 | badanov | <span style=background-color:yellow;></span> | ||
| 20100306 07:33 | twobyfour | There is a row of buttons in the "post yer article area", but they won't work with FF (version regardless). So any reference to these'd be not really helpful. Need really the code. THX! | ||
| 20100306 07:22 | twobyfour | Hiya, need a refresher... how one does this higlight thingie in a posted articles? Forgotten the code. And see no ref... KTHXBAI | ||
| 20100306 07:15 | Deacon Blues | Morning, All. It's a beautiful morning, although a bit cold right now. I found this interesting tidbit at Strategy Page. "Another sign that Israel expects to be attacked; air force ground crews are being trained to perform dangerous “hot refueling.” | ||
| 20100306 06:51 | AutoBartender | Snowie, according to Google Maps that place in FL is almost a 900 mile drive from Deacon's. I dunno whether AP would be up for it... | ||
| 20100306 01:57 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Wish I could go too. Y'all who are going might consider a side trip;.. I hear the town of Plantation in Florida is being overrun by a bunch of wild hogs. It sounds like the perfect application of the talents of the assembled, as long as you don't start with "Hold my Yuengling, and watch this!" | ||
| 20100306 00:58 | Pappy | Nite - gotta run to San Diego in the morning on an unplanned but urgent trip. Catch you tomorrow eve. |
