@Amentep: as you only pick female avatar pictures and they're all hot actresses from the past and you changed your pic...who's the new model. I gots to know.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I'm not Amentep but I'm pretty sure that is Hazel Brooks. :)

Happy Labor Day to all my fellow Muricans. As a trucker, I did not get the day off, but I did have a great day at work driving through the lovely mountains in Tennessee and Virginia. I'm headed to New Jersey and my goal for the day was to get past DC and Baltimore before shutting down for the night, because I sure as **** don't want to drive through those cities during the morning rush. I did just that, made good time, and got a great parking spot to boot. All in all a good day.

Yup, Hazel Brooks is correct!

Sitting at work wondering why my blood pressure feels like it's up. Only to realize my blood pressure is still in the bag from the pharmacy. I took my cholesterol medicine this morning.

 

Is this what it means to be old?

Today was my last day of vacation... I got very used to not working. Ugh, how will I cope with this change in my life.

Made a bit over £700 with flogging off those old toys of mine. Then wandered into Marks & Sparks to check out some food shopping on the way back, sawy they were doing a Wine of The Day thing, and they had Magnum's of Port on sale with 1/3rd off. So groovy, treated myself.

 

First time I'd seen a full Magnum of Port.

a couple hours ago we got back from sierra buttes camping.  overnight temps were in mid 30s (F) and daytime highs reached mid 80s. lotta smoke in the valley where we camped.  relative spartan camping. did have a cellphone, but were only in tower range for 'bout an hour each day. our border collies is too old to make such trips anymore, but we did bring the little dogs and they appeared to enjoy themselves. had expected more people on a holiday weekend-- we never have gone sierra buttes on a holiday.  our campsite were extreme no frills and perhaps the fires kept folks at home, but even so, were surprised not seeing many people enjoying natural splendor at elevation. 

 

anywho, had a great time. got home and took a hollywood shower and had soup for lunch.  got the weird exhausted + refreshed feel we enjoy after camping.  am looking forward to channel islands in the spring for our next trip. am feeling our age. gonna take a nap for 'bout a decade.

 

HA! Good Fun!

Took my wiener dog for a walk so he could ogle and chase women, literally does that. Strange dog.

I've got a bit of a hectic week leading into my first half ironman on Sunday. My daughter has dance tryouts all week and my son start hockey Friday, so it's going to be busy. I'm also getting the RV back tomorrow after its first time out as a rental, so I'm pretty nervous to see what shape it is in. 

 

But I've done the training, so I'm not too nervous about the race. More like antsy to get out there and get it done.

Thanks. If that blade of grass wasn't in the way it would have been better. It was flitting around so much though I was lucky it sat still for as long as it did.

Five years ago I bought into a investment group that bought a minority stake in Short Mountain Distillery. They were expanding their operations, etc, etc. Anyway they bought back the minority stake and I got a check yesterday. It was nice, 11% return per year over the five years. But, here is the kicker. Every year Short mountain sent all the investors a gift basket around Christmas with some of their products and other goodies. THAT is what I'll miss the most! :lol:

 

I guess now I'll have to buy my holiday booze like everyone else!

My tinnitus, which I haven't really felt for like 10 years, came back the other night for no reason at all.

 

 

Just ****ing great. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

Older dog has a tumor on her shoulder so I spent the day taking care of that. All the initial labs and tests are good and we may have surgery as early as next week.

Laughed harder than I should at a dev exclaiming to another "Kill -9 them all! The user will know his own". Granted the line was undercut by the second dev responding with, correctly, "Ever heard of ps -efu ?"

I still "desperately" need a new game to obsess over (vs. maybe only checking it for 4-10 hours then never touching it again) but I feel like I only like a new game once every 2-3 years now, and it's only been 18 months. Drat.

 

Back to reading more manga's. That Noblesse one I was reading, it was pretty awesome for about 350-400 chapters but after that it became almost nothing but battle panels and hardly any plot outside of good guys vs. ever increasing difficulty bad guys. Literally pages and pages in a row of "Boom!" "How can they be so strong?" "Pow!" "How did they survive that blow?" which I became really bored of paging through. I'll check out new chapters once in a while see if it improves again but likely the authors just ran out of steam and are just dragging it out. Still, it was entertaining/fun for a long while so no regrets. :)

Prepping for a job interview Monday morning, a bit of relaxed reading, and some juggling with the cat being needy and whiney.

 

Hm, also got the latest update on Kingmaker and saw the "hey, if you haven't transfered kickstarter pledges to our backer portal, you won't be getting the game" which made me blink a little and realise I must have missed something some months ago.

 

One of the minor flaws in getting continuous and regular updates on a kickstarter backed game, you start not paying complete attention to them in full detail when life has you busy.

Night dispatch is useless, double useless on the weekends. It's like these people enjoy burning my 14 hour clock. Either that or they're too lazy to do their job and get me a load. So here I sit at a Love's truck stop in Nashville just waiting. The trick is to put myself in sleeper berth, then I usually get a load quick. Can't have me getting any sleep. :p
