It's sunny and crisp today... seems like a good day for a little pootling about.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale


that is all.

Tough week ahead and could barely sleep last night. Meh.

wishing i didn't have to work on this lovely fine, warm monday.

Just took the hounds for their first walk on a tandem leash. It went well. I could see them skijoring successfully. They already know the basic commands. Hello snow?

I need to talk myself out of buying performance upgrades. I promised myself I wouldn't do it. But my friends are making me.

What are they making you get? Campagnolo, Shimano or Sram?

F-Sport suspension. I only have Shimano or Sram. At the time I got my roadie I couldn't afford Campy.

Wash and wax for the old "beater"

Last day of summer vacation. Getting everything ready to go back to school tomorrow.

Organic Earl Grey tea and blueberry pie.

yay, school. I was getting kinda bored at the lack of something to learn.

getting PO'd at aftershocks waking me up in the middle of night.:notamused: We had 3 5.4s last night and a couple of high 4s.


On the plus side I'm getting lots of cuddles with the gf.

Well yes. But both her and myself would prefer the cuddles without the shakes.

Made a possibly ill-advised purchase today. Make that almost certainly ill-advised. I'll know in early October exactly how ill-advised.

Does anyone else buy birthday cards in bulk? I've started doing this and got 5 of them last night. Different cards, just planning ahead for the next few months. Maybe I should write something into them and address the envelope too?

First day of Locals Summer!

All the little bastards are back in school, all the Zonies and Cottontops have gone home!!

Wife buys them when she sees nice ones (especially if they are artisan/limited run). When you need them they are there. If you find yourself rushing out to get one at the last minute you can only find kitsch or crappy ones.

Really proud of my sister right now. The small quote in this story gives only a very small idea of the amount of work she's done to push this thing forward:

Yeah, much too early to be buying the pumpkin for your Halloween jack-o-lantern! Whatever were you thinking?!

I snagged a sweet one with a spinny wheel inside. When you fart, you spin the wheel and it tells you which excuse to use.

What if the fart is not big enough to spin the wheel? Would be interesting too watch none the less.

it is evident that you've never been to my family gatherings. Or at least not close enough.

I won't be happy until they all run on used cooking oil and the harbour is divided into three zones.

One that smells like fish and chips, one that smells like peanuts, and one that makes me want to have tempura for dinner.

Drooling over the 2011 STI sedan, studying physics, and talking to a pretty girl :D. Tomorrow, classes all day. Ugh.

Working on my thermodynamics homework, statics homework as well as advanced engineering mathematics homework.

Someone explain to me why I took the course load I did...

How about a stinky tofu section?

Good Idea - but only in the west Kowloon area.

Filling out a job application.

Not looking forward to next week.

Doing some major project has me at work when everyone else is asleep. I swear. It really doesn't pay off to know the ins and outs of your job.

I'm giving 4 presentations to our board of directors in the next month. It started off as one for a project I've been working on since 2/09. Then another department asked me to do their presentation for a small (300K) construction job. Then the PM on two larger (5m) jobs asked me to do his because he's going surfing in France for a month. I'm the worst guy to ask; my presentations suck. I can put any insomniac to sleep in <5 minutes.

Heart melting actually...

Some time ago the girls asked if The Girl and were going to have any kids (because they'd really like a baby brother)... we told them that were not going to have any kids but once we were married and settled down we would adopt a Golden Retriever.

This appeared on the mantle the other day.

Friday. :D. Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning. I could do with a nap now though.

bought a small handheld cb and an external antenna. Picked up some chatter on the way home. I have no idea what they were saying :(

is it true that you can keep upright if you've had several drinks before?

not sure. probably as by that stage you are already swaying.:P I haven't been knocked over by any of the quakes or aftershocks.

Trying to argue with the professor why "All of the above" is not the correct answer for question 10.
