@Fish_Kungfu It's very cool, to me. Some people out there have really dedicated themselves to making it an art. This is a video I made for a friend of the making of @mikibell 's sunflower. It's nothing exciting, but shows the process
Its 11PM and all the east coasters are preparing their nightly whines; such fun cannot be observed without being online. Of course given the item....maybe they're better off being asleep.
what fun? I'm reading this while getting ready to go to work! stupid holidays.....I had to be in the one union that can't get LABOR DAY off...(I know we're not the only one but still..)
I'm here because stupid @sohmageek made a stupid contest.. One in which I have a wonderful team that relies on me to hold up my end.. so I can't just disappear and let Team Moose down..
@sohmageek - Uh oh, extra time to create goat mischief. Actually I can't wait to see what's next. This has been major fun so far except the math part was frustrating, please let's play hangman next.
@KDemo I was thinking of that... but I think that Irk would be hung before it would get far... I post something and 6 people say different letters... If you have suggestions I'd love to hear them.
@sohmageek - You could have people post a word and picture of something that starts with that letter, but please let us use online images or else I can't play. Edit - this still might cause a pretty big mess. I'll keep thinking.
@sohmageek Do it the same way you did the others - only the first guess counts. If you're right, you get to keep going until you're wrong. If you're wrong, you have to sit out the next guess round.
I'm currently hanging out with @Humper, while trying to motivate myself to do something on the to-do list. Unfortunately, some damned goat made a game and I keep playing that instead of doing chores.
@Thumperchick@Kdemo My wife is starting to worry that I'm starting to like Meh more than her... So... I have a feeling October I'll be scarce.. :) Anyway... I'm actually in my closet (no not a metaphor... I actually moved my geek stuff into a closet it's pretty spacey... about 1/2 the size of my cube at work.) With the iPhone, The mac... and reinstalling windows on the PC... (put the SSD back into the PC instead of the dying mini, or dying laptop.) SO... All in all I'm stuck in a little room with 3 screens and autocorrect hates me.
@sohmageek If you use chrome, be wary of ridiculous weirdness once win10 is installed, depending on your drivers and how flash wants to work on your machine. I just did the upgrade, ended up having to reinstall chrome to get it to stop crashing, now it's looking like I'll have to do a total wipe and fresh install of 10 to get everything copacetic again.
@Thumperchick It doesn't see windows 10 as an upgrade choice yet. I'm installing all the crap... Windows 7 Pro... I don't really want to give up my media center till they take support away from my cold dead fingers... On the other hand... I may have to update then revert to just get the free update when support does go the way of the dodo...
@Humper It's not too bad. I guess it's won some awards for a dipa, Definite pine flavors. Not a heady topper clone which is a bit refreshing with all the DIPA/IPA trying to be like heady up here. I'd buy it again, It's also easier (not a whole lot recently) to pick up than Heady or sip of sunshine. My favorite IPA is still Lawsons session #2, followed by Focal banger.
@sohmageek I know the pain of trying to get heady or Lawson's. I've still never had any of Lawson's beers, but I usually just hit the brewery/grocery stores in Burlington when I go there for a job. We have several good breweries around here, but distribution is spotty and no one cans their beer, just a few places bottle them.
@Humper I work just down the road from a store that gets heady on Wednesdays (used to be 11 o'clock, they moved it to 2 PM) and gets the lawson's shipment (Session #2 & Sip of sunshine) Thursdays at 11 o'clock. I was lucky the last 2 weeks... 2 weeks ago I scored the last 4 pack of sip, and the last 6 pack of Session #2. This past week I scored 2 Session #2. It's my favorite IPA... but I'm just starting to like IPAs...
Eh, it's evening here in St Remy de Provence and I'm sprawled on the couch under an open window, the mistral blowing my curtains high and the smells of wild grasses and herbs into the dimly lit stone farmhouse room, and guzzling rose and snacking on tapenades, foie gras, and local cheeses. I've clambered all over my favorite castle ruins today and inhaled too many boules of lavender ice cream and lunch was three hours overlooking a sprawling vista of olive groves, vineyards, and rocky hills, but i forgot sunscreen and tanned most unbecomingly, probably even burned my nose, and I skinned my elbows sliding down a set of old mountain cut steps. So what else am I gonna do but louchely lounge and trawl these nets and lurk my favorite forums? Holidaaaaayz: I am grateful for 'em. (Whoooo's an asshole braggart? Me! Me!!)
Like yesterday, I'm about to work on my house. 6+ years into ownership, some tasks never end. Granted, when the agent only had one fuzzy picture for the MLS listing, I knew some (many) things would be less-than-perfect.
Sooo ... anyone else want to help dig out under the foundation?!
Laboring. Have 20-some coming for dinner tomorrow. Currently making 15 pounds of potato salad. The house is 80% clean. Maybe one more run to the store.
Still stuck in the hospital. No holiday fun for me. :(
@Pony an man, i hope things are improving!
@luvche21 thanks. It's not going particularly well, but I'm hopeful that I can go home before too much longer.
@Pony That sucks! I really hope you get to go home, soon.
Thanks, @Thumperchick, I hope so too.
I'm brushing my teeth. Multitasking.
DragonCon!
I'm drinking and needle felting. Should turn out well.
@jaremelz I had no idea what needle felting was, so I searched it, and there's some really cool stuff.
@Fish_Kungfu It's very cool, to me. Some people out there have really dedicated themselves to making it an art. This is a video I made for a friend of the making of @mikibell 's sunflower. It's nothing exciting, but shows the process
Petting cats and checking the deal of the day.
Its 11PM and all the east coasters are preparing their nightly whines; such fun cannot be observed without being online. Of course given the item....maybe they're better off being asleep.
I'm installing the latest OpenBSD snapshot on a USB stick to boot from my Gigabyte mini PC.
I am reading Shōgun and randomly clicking buttons. A helper iguana typed this for me.
Reading this to put me to sleep since wife wasn't interested in anything more interesting
New goat games. And I'm working on a video for the company, got the timer working correctly. Now, I'm done for the night.
Just like Richard Gere . I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO, i have no where else to go, sob, sob, sob, sob.
what fun? I'm reading this while getting ready to go to work! stupid holidays.....I had to be in the one union that can't get LABOR DAY off...(I know we're not the only one but still..)
I'll be working as a bar tender!
I'm here because stupid @sohmageek made a stupid contest.. One in which I have a wonderful team that relies on me to hold up my end.. so I can't just disappear and let Team Moose down..
@kadagan I'm sorry But I'm sure the rest of your team mehmebers appreciate it! :)
I'm home... currently alone... While the MIL is getting her baby fix... Lets me check on MEH and do all kinds of things now... :)

@Thumperchick - Ha, me too. I was here all day yesterday - this is probably an unhealthy obsession.

@Thumperchick @humper @marklog I'm drinking Tribute a DIPA from 14th star right now though... http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/14th-star-tribute-double-ipa/272497/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/31551/115612/?ba=NHbeerfishing

@sohmageek I've seen that beer but never picked any of it up. So it's good?
@Thumperchick Rather than a re-install, have you considered doing a refresh or the factory restore option inside Windows 10? Everything You Need to Know About Refreshing and Resetting Your Windows 8 or 10 PC

@dashcloud Thanks for the head's up!
@Thumperchick Happy to help!

What? This IS real fun.
Do most people do something special for Labor Day? My family never has.
Baking soda.
Laboring. Have 20-some coming for dinner tomorrow. Currently making 15 pounds of potato salad. The house is 80% clean. Maybe one more run to the store.
We're putting a kiddie pool on the deck with a dozen or so gold fish. The kids can catch (and release) them or just sit in the pool with the fishies.
@pooflady That's kind of cool... as long as they don't try to eat them.
@sohmageek Sushi!
Wasting a couple of hours figuring out that the latest Meh power banks are effectively junk because they won't stay powered on.
@uwacn don't say that, mine are not here yet.
