Asking for a friend who happens to be a big cat predator. In exchange, you may BBQ any leftovers. You like gazelle? I bet you'd like gazelle. I only need the space for a month or three. Once the monkey completes his casino hit then the money will be in. I got one of those astronaut chimps and taught him how to card count and game slots. Real easy, nothing to worry about, a sure thing. That'll pay for the cargo plane to the island and then it's payday for me and the good doctor. You in? Am i in? AM I IN?!? AM I IN?!?!?!??!!?? Of course I am!! There's no way anything could go wrong with that plan!!! 6 hours ago, Cyradis said: **peeks in** I survived digging up rocks in the desert during summer! Good for you! Now, to level up into the big time, you're gonna need to do it again while Jackalopes are firing catapults filled with flaming pitch at you. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparrowMarie Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Ordered another print. I may have a problem. Mostly a space to hang them problem. There are 2 more on the site that I want until they put up new ones I like... I did get the two I needed framed. One of them has been put on the wall. The other two will require a little shuffling of book piles to get to the wall I want them on. I cheated with the one that's up already, I used the Command picture hanging strips. They seem to work quite well when you use them properly. The last time I used them I just got what I thought would work and hung the thing. Luckily, it wasn't anything fragile (magazine holder to a cabinet to hold plastic wrap and the like). It was an attempt to save some space in the kitchen which is desperately needed still. I've already got spices magneted to the fridge. Anyway, picture is hanging above painting desk now. It was going to be hard to get two picture hangers evenly and properly spaced while leaning over the desk while being short. Things look nice...if you ignore the fact I have a ton of broccoli sitting on the desk now from trying to clean up the area. So need to get back to organizing that. On a different note I woke up with a migraine this morning. Had to take meds for it. I am wiped. Even after copious amounts of stimulants I am still tired and I slept in until 11. Broccoli meds. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that burying rocks in the desert would be much more fun. Especially if you were to choose them carefully and build a false, and entirely inappropriate stratum. The trick there would be to make sure it's in some place that is sure to be dug up, but not dug up so soon that your involvement would be easy to discern. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparrowMarie Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Gotta figure out a way to set up a brush cleaning station... Somewhere. Space aside I need to figure out how to do it to begin with. I haven't been caring for them as well as I should be because leaning over the sink kills my back. So I need like a series of cups or jars or something... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I keep a spare pair of pants at work. *Sigh* Yes Monday, we know its you. Is an image of Patrick Stewart as a French Maid and your zipper breaking just coincidence? 5 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: are these two statements related? Oh for goodness sake I decline to answer that question. Well, tomorrow begins my 5 week, online Cost Accounting course. *sigh* stupid CPA requirements... And then immediately after, my Financial Accounting (at an upper level) class. Cause takinging it as a 200 level class in college isn't good enough. And neither is my masters degree... $3,000 more just so I can then pay even more money just to sit for the exam... I hate adulting. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyradis Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Glitterwolf funny video! @Green Eyed Monster Utah desert, Thomas range. Rhyolite with red beryl and topaz. Lots. It was roasting. We survived by the grace of evening beer and a very kind miner with an organic farm. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unruly Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 You have to love how some post offices seem to be unable to perform the simple act of scanning a label. 3 days of the tracking being totally inactive except for the original "shipping label created" notice, only for it to pop up as soon as it hit my local post office and started getting its actual scans like it's supposed to. So now I'm left with a dilemma - do I try to repair my AC when I get home from work at 1am, or do I wait until Wednesday or Thursday when I'm off work for funerary reasons? Right now I'm leaning towards "break out the lantern and get to fixing in the dark." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip the breaker for both furnace and AC unit, pull the safety disconnect, THEN start working inside the unit. And step 3 is "drain the capacitor before touching it by first bridging H to C for 10 seconds and then F to C for 10 seconds." That way all juice is out of the system. And you have to make sure to flip the furnace breaker off, despite the fact that you're working on the AC, because the furnace is what provides the power to the 24v control line for the contactor. I may not know much about working on electrical stuff, but I know you make sure everything is off first. Edited July 10, 2018 by Unruly 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
