I have been here since 6am and I have been regretting it ever since I got here. Apparently there was a power failure in the middle of the night and ups and generator failed so everything shut down for a few minutes. Since the power failure, everything has been a disaster. The computers are all wobbly bonkers and we are using back-ups of back-ups for some components. I want to go home already.

Don'tcha really mean 1.5KW to the yagi array? :D

Not hugely decisive, but there was no point where LSU was really in the game. The Gators dominated ball control and actually left 6 points on the field (missed FG and the FG they should have kicked instead of going for it on 4th early in the game). Still, coming away with that result against a team as good as LSU in an environment that hostile (largest crowd in that stadium's history) I'd say that the win was a pretty decent statement. It was interesting to see Tebow slowly get his feet back under him and slowly get more into the game.

It is a two story motel right across the street from the lake at the south end of town. Nothing amazing but pretty nice for the price. One thing that was a bit annoying to me about the hotel was the "lake view" claim. Technically, yes, you can see the lake but the tree-lined road between you and it gets in the way pretty good. I wouldn't pay extra for that.

I've got plenty of other hotels and itinerary suggestions if you want. How long are you going to be in NZ? With your own car?

I have great memories of that trip.

Ah, minor milestone. Post 1300. :rolleyes:

Total is one of the stores I miss about NoVa - I saw one white visibly spoiled on a shelf once but never got a spoiled bottle myself.

Glad you're home. On "not at home" news, this Hyatt Place has stepped it up - free Sunday newspaper eliminates one of my Sunday morning errands.

Hyatt Place also had a sund paper, I think it was the local instead of the USa today as well, so that was a plus especially if you wanted to see ads for the local businesses that you my want to visit.

Good morning

The free Sunday paper is really a nice touch - I was in the closer BNA suburbs so it was The Tennessean but the coupons and salespapers are the same.

Forgive me Box but I did Kroger sin - I broke my grocery shopping moratorium a week early. I had to stop in for gas, gift cards, and free coffee (which don't count) and saw a beautiful London Broil for $2.79 a pound. I did get out with only the steak.

In related news, lunch en la casa de icurhere2 involves London Broil and eggs ...

mmmm steak and eggs.

We made it back from the MR to SEA and my butt hurts. I was 4/4 on upgrades and my wife as silver would have been 2/4 on her own but was 3/4 with a little help from me.;)

Very nice, but are you actually stating that your wife ended up in F on all four segments? ;)

Afternoon, Box.

London broil and eggs, yummy...just need Montreal seasoning.

13-3 is not decisive enough in the eyes of the college football gods at the NCAA...they foolishly believe that total offensive output is what makes for the decisiveness, ie running up the score.

Lazy Sunday with the papers and my girl...life is good today.

I have not had coffee since we walked for 35 minutes this morning...maybe there's something to that.
