   | Not to toot my own drum too terribly much, but I just want to point out that the Acer Aspire Revo AR3610-U2002 Nettop computer I listed as “for sale” last week is, indeed, still for sale. $300, or your best offer, if it is amenable, gets him shipped… [...] Note to self: If you open the grill, and everything inside is gloriously on fire, and I do mean everything – the coals, the wood (for smoking), the beef roast, the pork butt, even the aluminum-foil-wrapped corn-on-the-cobb – something has gone horribly, horribly wrong. That is all. [...] I guess I should have known the night was going to be odd when the heat lightning was neither “diffuse” nor “flickering”, and was, in fact, bright enough to light up our front yard as if it was daylight outside… just without the expected sound. However, 0130 rolled… [...] What do you know about it? [...] Huh. I was born on the same day that what might be the first spoiler alert was used. Now that is random. [...] It is good to see that the time and effort I invested in washing and waxing the Bullitt on Saturday afternoon was not without merit. (All photos copyright their respective owners, in this case, Killboy and US129 Photos. I… [...] 2x Diamond ATI Theater HD 750 USB TV Tuner – $54 for each, or $105 for the both of them. 1x SiliconDust HDHomeRun Dual Networked High Definition TV Digital Tuner – $130 All three items are effectively brand-spanking new, having only been out of… [...] Better Half and I are seriously considering a vaction tour of Ireland and Scotland – anyone have any good suggestions? [...] The beige marshmallow has been returned to its owners, and I am now scooting around, ironically, in a Dodge Charger… though not a black one, sadly. Despite still being a name-recognition travesty, and a product of the People’s Automotive Collective, I am somewhat surprised at… [...] I grew past begging at about the age of two. Sorry. [...] We had our accident on the 30th. The car made it to the body shop on the 3rd. They were hoping to have all the parts in-hand and start working on the 9th. They are currently planning on having all the parts by the 21st. It… [...] Insurance has me driving around some Toyota Camry thing for the next few weeks… All I have to say is that if there is, indeed, a more boringly soporific car in existance, I do not even want to lay eyes on it, much less sit behind its wheel. It feels… [...] The end result of my unscheduled metal-on-metal action last weekend? The body shop (at a Mercedes-Benz dealership, of all places) called yesterday, and they will be replacing the wheel and tire in their entirety, various steering linkages that broke/bent, the suspension strut, the lower control arm, the front… [...] Alright, I will admit it – finances sometimes confuse the everloving hell out of me. For example, I have had a managed investment account for about 2-3 years now – basically, I got into it right before the economy tanked. Smart, I am. Over the course of my time… [...] In 2002, my family moved out of La Plata, MD, a few months before it got nuked by an F5 tornado. In 2005, Katrina displaced me and a lot of other people along the Gulf Coast. In 2007, Better Half and I were amongst… [...] Just a friendly note to my fellow Mustang owners: these instructions only kind-of work. I am not sure if this is a model year thing, or a Bullitt thing, but there it is. Thankfully, hardwiring my Escort radar detector [...] I swear, every dental hygenist out there must have a small, quiet closet filled to the brim with various whips, chains, leather, and latex… and that is something of a disturbing thought, in some of their cases… Yay for mouth-cleanings before work – great start to the day! [...] As if most people need a reminder concerning this, but always, always, always check your credit card statements. Some scumbag just tried to take Better Half and I on a $300+ ride with our credit card with repeated charges at “APL*ITUNES”, “TMA*AFFILNAME,GAMENAME”, and “NORTON *SOFTWARE”. Of course, the… [...] We have “owned” (in that we have a contract with a bank that actually owns it) our new house for a little over a week now, and have already received four separate spam mailings complete with full names, addresses, and how much of a loan we took out on the… [...] What is it with me and television series that only last a single season? As a child, I thoroughly enjoyed The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. Later on, after growing up… [...] People looking at maps employing the Mercator projection and expounding on how large Alaska is in comparison to the rest of the United States. [...] Just once, I would like to have a day off where I either did not feel like crap, or was not running around like a chicken with my head cut off. [...] Sweep the gorramed snow off your gorramed cars, and, yes, that includes their frakking roofs. [...] Better Half and I are headed down to the land where even obeying the law can result in you getting legally arrested for a long weekend… Good fun. But, as they say, “concealed means concealed”. Unfortunately, for some stupid reason,Brigade Quartermasters decided to close their Kennesaw… [...] The one day that it was above freezing and I am headed that direction already (to drop off Better Half at the airport), it rains sufficiently hard to probably make the Tail of the Dragon beyond treacherous. [...] In addition to doing my best to piss off anti-rights advocates and liberals in general (but I repeat myself), I occasionally do some dabbling in the kitchen as well. After a year or so of experimentation, I seem to have found a stir fry sauce recipe that we both enjoy… [...] Erf. [...] So we received a counter-offer. The house was listed at X, we offered 0.89X, and they countered with 0.96X. Not quite as far down as we were hoping, but it is progress. [...] So Better Half and I put an offer on yet another house yesterday night – this makes number four. Also the first house that we have put an offer on that was not on a street that started with a “T”, so we figure we might have a chance. Or… [...] But we still get a two-hour delay. W00t. Now I just have to see if I can get my car out of the parking lot… [...] This was probably not its first time in the white-and-slippery stuff, but it was with us: [...] *sigh* Back to the dilithium mines of Rura Penthe for me. I was trying to remember if there was ever a time that I actually looked forward to not being sick again… Summer vacations were all I could figure. Kinda sad, that. [...] Games from the last generation of consoles are more-or-less valueless. [...] Oh, yeah, and that bug so kindly provided to us by the two-year-old Typhoid Mary? [...] Looks like everyone made it on yet another orbit around the sun… Here is to wishing you and your families a happy, safe, and blessed new year. [...] There are a few more posts rattling around my brain this evening, but, honestly, I have nothing I am overly inclined to write at the moment. As such, I would like to wish my readers a very safe and enjoyable New Year’s Eve, and thank them for continuing to come… [...] I guess we should have known better than to spend Christmas with family when half of the individuals were recovering from some manner of icky bug. I blame the disease-carrier of the bunch (the two-year-old, naturally), but, either way, Better Half and I are down for the count today. [...] To any of the poor schlubs who are spending time online today rather than with their families, have a very Merry Christmas! [...] By this time, Better Half and I should be headed south to spend Christmas with family. I have a few posts lined up to generate over the holiday, but nothing too spectacular. Have a very Merry Christmas, and catch you all on the flip side. [...] Ten toys from Amazon.com [...] In what I promise will be my last hint-that-no-one-cares-about, could I possibly interest anyone in a 2006 Mazda 3 Grand Touring Hatchback in Strato Blue with somewhere around 46,000 miles on it?
