Morning! Think I need more coffee, especially since there's a meeting going on behind me and there's one person in there who's spontaneous loud laugh sounds like someone stepping on a squeekee toy. It curdles my blood! :eek:
The butterflies are almost herded...
Heard that a Canuck won yesterday's stage on the ToC after a number of riders dropped out due to hypothermia...
I bet the guy was still baking in those cool and wet temperatures... lol.
Define "baking" please.:D

Sometimes, ball gags are useful outside the dungeon or bedroom. I'm just sayin.
The sock place now has will-call pick-up for orders. I got to bike/Max/bike there on Monday to pick up my socks personally. :)Nice! For those of us a little further away, the shipping was reasonably priced, as well.

Since we're still experiencing Winter weather, I'm inside watching the wild turkeys eat the cracked corn we spread out for them.

The unusually heavy snowfalls we've had have kept the ground covered. The turkeys have been wandering a bit further to forage.
Funny but our dog doesn't seem to be interested in them...unless they get too close to her food bowl!

I've had a very stressful day.
But due to some nice things happening tonight, I think I can sleep well. I feel at peace right now. Good night all. :)
My tooth throbs horrifically. I think I may need a root canal. The pain is going through my entire jaw to the point that when I get a pulse of throbbation, I feel like punching the wall.

Hey Pheard... if you have ice cubes take one and put it between the forefinger and thumb of the hand on the same side as the pain.
As your fingers become numb the pain in your jaw should diminish significantly... this is an accupressure tehnique used to reduce this kind of oral pain and is usually very effective.

I think he should just punch the walls.

Just finished an hour and twenty minutes on the trainer, now I'm heading to the laundry mat to wash clothes. Maybe some lunch while I'm out. A cold snow covered day here in New England. New Mexico is looking better and better to me.

Nothing like some freshly ground beans and some uber dark chocolate to kick off one's day.
That, and some really good drugs.

Eatin sunflower seeds.
Just been a long day, went to church. Waited for 3 people to get out of meeting so we could take sacrament to an elderly couple. I had to take a 3 friends home and my GF, all to diff places. 2 blocks down the road my car starts acting ghey. We think it's the transmission, I was giving it gas and it was like the car was in neutral even though it was in D. We got caught in the middle of the road on a busy street at a stop light. We pushed it up a block, 4 of us, and it was getting to the point that the car was too heavy to push it up the street. Then we coasted into an apartment complex, a person tried to help us, then he got the manager to help us, he let us park the car there but said it might get towed. We tried to ask a couple people to move their car from the closest spot, and they basically refused. I swear, some people really have no compassion for another person in need. We then got 4 of us, plus 2 random people trying to help to push the car half way up the street to a spot. Just an interesting and longggg day.

Laundry done, work done for tomorrow's due date, water run for a fishy clean tomorrow, ... and lunch done and keys set on microwave for the quick leave tomorrow. Even peeling out the forget-them-always contacts for the day! :D I am done for the day. g'night!
(now can someone tell the cats in the house that it's bedtime? hehe ... They ... are ... ALIVE! Looking over at two different colored "arms" poking under my door wanting to come in and mess around with me and my stuff on the tables, etc)

Wow. That sucks Jon. Is this the red car or your white car? Sounds like the trans to me. Is there fluid in there?
Oh and by the way. I think I know why it failed on you. It's not a DODGE!!! :p (That's what you get for slammin' my new car, brat!!) Gimme a call later and I'll see if I can help you. Or I'll call you after I change my oil. In my Chevy. ;)
Hi guys! It's been one long weekend.
I competed to qualify for the National tournament that I competed in last year and I once again qualified. Woot! :D I didn't get first place in this qualifier like I did last year but I did walk away with second. I am a little disappointed but I did try my best. :) Now, I have a couple of months to train for Nationals.

Way to go ms.gio. Don't worry about being 2nd. I have a friend, who has a friend, who knows Tonya Harding. :D j/k :p
Actually it might work to your advantage. Some of your competitors might get a little too complacent.
I am...eating my dinner. Brown rice, boiled potatoes, and broccoli, all mixed together. Effing delicious when you haven't had anything to eat for almost 12 hours.

Cranks are good.

Si senor, finally switching out my one piece cranks (< trash) and got myself a good deal on some really nice 3 piece cranks. Saved myself 72$.
So what are you going to buy with your $72?

Except it is harder to bail.

I always found fishtanks to be mesmerizing; the cats would not have of it, though! Good luck with the new purchase jsharr.

Give you're dodge at least a few years before it all crumbles into a pile of rust.
It needs a brand new transmission. :(
3500$ :(
A $3500 transmission for a $350 Taurus? Whoever gave you that figure, you should either call them back, or visit them in person so as to laugh uproariously in their face/ear.

The Taurus is an 02, supposedly it still holds value. 3500 for parts and labor is still insane for any car.
