Moderator Chaoswolf Posted July 30, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2022 An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, “Ah, you’re an engineer, you’re in the wrong place.” So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is becoming a pretty popular guy. One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and asks with a sneer, “So, how’s it going down there in hell?” Satan replies, “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.” God replies, “What? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake, he should never have gotten down there, send him up here.” Satan says, “No way! I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him.” God says, “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.” Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?” 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Booster hit me more then the initial shot (all Moderna here), thou I did get the chills & I had to work that night of the initial shot (no way I could have taken it off, as co-worker went on vacation that week). Booster hurt more then illness as I'm not sure if the doc stabbed me wrong or what but my arm hurt for 3 or 4 days afterwards. I think it was the heat that did him in , yesterday though. My friend was fine until he got out in the heat & was heading up the FLGS, that is when he felt really ill & didn't want to chance becoming even more sick while at the game store. One of my players texted me last night due to work couldn't make it, no worries as I was gonna cancel anyways due to the heat (+ the table is packed with painting stuff right now as well) for today's game. I did make it to the garage, but only for an hour or so (just too hot even at 1130 last night). I did manage to finish up one mini, got colors started on anther & finally broke through with some colors on anther. Due to the minis were dark color primer'ed & there are a bunch of them, like 10 or 11, I haven't spent much time on them. Hoping to head down to the garage for some early morning painting while it is still cool around here (if you call 74 at 9 am cool, suppose to get to 110 again today. Relief comes next Tuesday when it only hits 97, but afterwards the heat starts trending downward). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I really need it to finish off a decaling project. If I can't find it will have to head for Hobby Lobby tomorrow to try to find a replacement. It's to the left of the thing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shortage has been expected for some time now. Demand is out stripping supply, and ongoing drought in Africa and South America threatens both cocoa and coffee. This picture is so confusing it must be worth 2000 words. ( Just because they draw it like it is a subway doesn’t mean they simplified it. ) Edited July 30, 2022 by TGP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a big tourist attraction, but some member of local govt wants something done with it. We shall see..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I've never seen it there, either. I'd rather try to support a brick and mortar hobby store, anyway. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
