Speaking of which, now that snow season is over and there's no more 'hands in snow blower' calls, when do the 'hands in lawnmower' calls start? :D:o:rolleyes:

My dad actually would disengage the blade and stick his hand in there to clean out some clogged up grass or something back in the day. :eek::o

and what is the problem with that exactly? As long as you don't have someone nearby to be a 'jokester' and start the blade up I don't see the problem. I have never gotten any limbs cut off :cool:

Who said those stopped? :rolleyes:

We switched the snow shovels out for spatulas* about a month ago.

In other news: (845): At my boss' house at a bbq. Had a few beers. Taking a poop - there's no TP...this is my nightmare.









*motorcycle season.

Because it was old and not trustworthy.

In my family, the statement is "the sun's over the yardarm somewhere". We've started drinking on Thanksgiving as a family at 8 a.m. On aircraft, I'll drink even earlier.

I ate breakfast at Hash House A Go Go in La$ Vega$ the other day. They have an item on their breakfast menu that you may be interested in. It is listed like this:

O'Hare of the dog 24 oz Budweiser & side of bacon

Lots of truth in this one :)

I like how my little gamble to save money with UPS low demand is going to pay off. Instead of spending a lot of money for next day delivery from B&H I selected it two day delivery. It's shown as "out for delivery" :)

Where you live you could have selected ground and it would still have been there the day after it shipped.

I just heard that the WAN connection that we need (critical/deal breaker) for this weekend's move project might actually not be ready until Monday. Awesome. :rolleyes:

If they can't figure this out I'm not sure what that means for my weekend, but odds are I'll have a lot more spare time than I originally expected.

It's always have been two days. UPS would tease me by keeping it in the Edison distribution center one day. I got my new PowerPoint remote that replaces the one that "walked" at the Brooklyn Marriott

Go right on sticking your hand in there. Just don't tell folks it's safe because you have never personally been hurt by it.

what kind of speed do you need? and what kind of budget? You can get a slingshot wireless card at pilot travel centers with 60 days of service. I is running on the sprint network and can vary form 800k to 3.5mb depending on area.....of course this wont work for everything.

www.bootliquor.com is my back up when the pig stream goes dead.

Is KPIG free once more? I used to listen. I even had a KPIG lard card! A while back they started to charge, though, due to insane copyright rules regarding online radio.

I don't advise people to do so, but I do so myself in the past when wet grass was clogging the system.
