Installed W7 RTM, and got me a legal key from technet Bohhyahh :P
Today,
I thought about doing the dishes and thought about mowing the lawn.
Quickly rationalized both away:
The dishwasher was full of clean items, and the dark clouds did look like rain.
Sitting down at the computer, I decided I should put the Weber together, for tomorrow's debut:
Amazing how the instruction pamphlet has 7 pages of pictograms,
12 steps to accomplish, and not a single word of instruction.
All circles and slashed-circles.
I did manage it, but wound up with one extra piece, when I finished.
Usually, I'm one piece short.
Maybe tomorrow I'll be grateful, though, if a wheel falls off.
They gave me 3 lock-hubs and it only has 2 wheels...
It's a sight to behold, on that back patio:
The new bags of charcoal, the Weber black beauty, and the filthy gas-flamed cow.
Maybe they'll remember the 'Cash for Clunkers' program and institute a 'Cash for Clinky BBQs', ya never know...
The '91 Sable didn't qualify, so I suspect the Sunbeam cow won't either.
Lee,

Well today I proved to myself that I'm an Idiot - again
Made some changes yesterday that meant my weekly backup didn't run - no problem there - decided to run it in the background whilst I got on with some work - And promptly forgot to switch of the automatic forced shutdown at the end of the backup run.
This became apparent when after the backup the system shut down right in the middle of working
I'd shoot myself but probably, I would only miss and kill the cat
well today, i spent most of the time reading Tew's giant quote of Antmans giant post. note that it's only 10:30 in the morning. HA!

Your cat? did you try over on the Catz only thread.?
KITTY! NOOOOoooooo
HA! funny thing happened this morning. i kept hearing this odd raspy barking sound. turns out there were 3 deer in my backyard, eatin, poopin, w/e. and the brave little toaster (my gray cat) was trying to sneak up on them. i was watching him from inside. well, papa deer didnt like kitty, and started barking (or whatever deer do) at him, and stomping the ground. gray cat isnt to smart to begin with, so he kept walking toward the now, very annoyed deer family. then, my other 2 cats (slightly smarter) started investigating these mysterious giant squirrels. so the deer preceded to bark and such to intimidate the cats. so long story shot, the deer were (trying) going up the hill, and the buck (no horns yet) would stop every 5 feet of so, and chase off the cats. it took the deer 15 minutes to travel less than 10 yards.
well now those deer know not to come in my yard, or they'll have the 3 most annoying friends they never wanted. chuckle.
