    This email made me laugh -
    "Yahoo! recommends that you upgrade to the
    faster, safer, and enhanced Internet Explorer® 9."
    I already upgraded a loooong time ago to Opera and Firefox. No way am I equating IE with 'upgrading'.

    Great start to a Friday morning when two power outlets, which provides power to two UPS's that provided power to two network switches, no longer provided power. Yeah, interesting five minutes.

    I really really hope the fact that it's been half an hour since my husband took the car to the shop and he still hasn't called means that it was an easy fix.

    my recent problem (as in car still in shop, will be getting today) was definitely one of the easier ones. My muffler fell off! Lovely bit of rust on the pipe and bolts. Fortunately the mechanic is right across town.

    I'm smack in the middle of a time-consuming (nonfiction) proofread.

    Once this is done, it's all going to be relatively like coasting to "finalization" for the rest of the books. (Two are in already, two more might be as well).

    It all should come together by early next week, and not a day too soon.

    Wow, my brain is fried. (And my back and neck are sore from tension...ugh.)

    canned chicken soup broth is not too bad/almost 'ok' once you add enough salt/pepper/onion powder to make it palatable.

    My data is messy. I don't like it when my data is messy.

    Turns out we don't need a new radiator...my husband's uncle was able to fix what was wrong for $30. Hooray!

    Leaving on vacation first thing in the morning, and looking forward to the Bend Brewfest.

    The ammo shortage of 2008 is long over, and still I continue to hoard ammo.

    On a side note, 50rds of 9mm went from $9.93 to $11.98. Similarly, 100rds of .45ACP went from $28.99 to $35.67. Ugh.

    But it's not hoarding if you can never have enough.

    Or, y'know, that 3-day, 2k round course you're taking where the ammo costs as much as the instruction.

    ...

    I did legs tonight. I feel fantastic. I'm hot. Women want me. Men idolize me. I just showed up on radar.

    that too. Sounds better than being surrounded by hordes of undead zombies wanting to eat your brains and being down to your last nine rounds.

    I think I know what I want for my fifth tattoo, but I have to think about it for a while.

    Bought 360rds of Privi M193, 200 rds of 9mm and 100 rds of .45ACP. I had 4 .45ACP guns, so I hoarded like 800 rds of .45. Now I only have 2, and I rarely shoot them. I'm all about the G19 and P30 now.

    I'm gonna do chests and abs tonight. Men disdain me. Women barf at my presence. However, the APFT cowers at my presence. :D My shaved head makes me look like a monk.
