Today [5]

[Kari]

With CEO's permission, I just opened the present my dear friend brought yesterday, a bottle of 18 year Laphroiag. First one in a few months. Now sitting in patio, watching beautiful fall sunset, enjoying the best Scotland has produced with a nice Dominican cigar, listening good music from laptop, eying SF.

Life could not be better.

For the record, last time I've been this long without my beloved Single Malt was just before my 18th birthday over 30 years ago...

Come and join me, there's enough whisky for good friends.

Received my next piece of coursework for Uni today off the Intranet for my Operating System course. I have to build a fully working file system, either based on the simpler, yet less efficient FAT32, or the more intricate NTFS and optimise a 10MB HDD. I have 4 weeks to do it, so this next month is going to be fun.

Sounds challenging. Good luck

A Guy

Thanks, it will be quite the challenge. Gonna spend the next couple of days getting all my other coursework out of the way then I have just that to concentrate on.

But tonight, it's Harry Potter at the cinema

Glad to see you are able to have a taste of your old favorites, Kari.

I thank you, although that pic has three essential faults, revealing that could never be my glass:

1. Ice? Who would like to destroy a good Single Malt with ice? The only way I drink my whisky is as it is supposed to be enjoyed, room temperature or even slightly warmer
2. That glass suits brown corn schnapps (also called Bourbon) or normal blended household whisky's like Ballantine's or Johny Walker. Not good to experience the rich aroma of Single Malt
3. The color of that liquid reveals it's most definitely Single Malt

So ,you wont be wanting a straw then

:roflmao:
That could be a good idea; at the moment some muscles on the left side of my face are still a bit paralyzed, making drinking somewhat more difficult than normally...

 

[The Howling Wolves]

Kari,
Hook up a slow drip IV and enjoy the effects.
I would prefer smelling and tasting the malt over the IV.

 

[Kari]

Dennis, unfortunately I can't test your idea now. The CEO has appointed herself also as the CMO (Chief Medical Officer), and as such she has forced me to end my civilized enjoyment immediately after noticing almost half of Laphroiag was consumed in less than an hour.

But I can guarantee you, the testing will resume in near future!

 

[boohbah]

almost half of Laphroiag was consumed in less than an hour.

thats probably has something to do with the numb feelings you are having. enjoy!

What???????????
You started without us!
You could have at least waited till Boo & I got there.
Glad to see you are up to you old tricks and the CMO is on to them!

Yeah, they are sneaky that way. At least the $ should come in handy, assuming our uncle doesn't grab most! You have a Happy Thanksgiving too. I will have a 4 day weekend, taking a vacation day friday (only way I can get any time off in a row, I'm indispensable )

I'm a little behind...trying to catch up...

Today, got a call from the company i work for. I have been waiting for a new contract to start in December and basically am out of work till then.
The call was a nice surprise as they wanted my services as a contract Quarry Manager at a mine site for a few weeks. This will fill the void till i go to the new contract in the Tanami desert around the 9th of next month.
About time we got some good news.

Nice...that is very good news!!!!

Evolution of a man continues later today, with nice therapist. Goal is clear, to advance from this:

First time ever I can remember I wished I could use less horsepower, that my vehicle were more simple...

Best wishes Kari!!!!

Your other coffee fans out there, how much coffee you need let's say in a week? In our two adult household, we consume about 1 kilo (about 2.2 pounds) a week, dark roasted Italian espresso. Angie drinks 3 cups a day, a cappuccino in the morning and two espressos later, I'll take care of the rest.

We ground the beans ourselves. For reasons unknown to me me we need about 1.1 kilo coffee beans to get that 1 kilo grounded coffee; I can not understand where that 100 grams disappear when grounding...

I drink 4 or sometimes 5 (2 or 3 in the morning and 1 to 2 in the evening) cups a day with 1 or 2 of then being Tim Horton's Coffee (The canuks will know what I mean)

Hey Noobvious, i just noticed your avatar.:haha:

That wouldn't be a picture of Kari & The Howling Wolves, would it????

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

Today I woke up feeling surprsingly happy. Recovering, rehabilitation is going better and faster than excepted. Good friend coming to long and keenly waited visit today. Woke up earlier when Angie brought cappuccino with fresh croissants, a newspaper and a hand written love poem to the bed.

Today is a good day to be alive. Today is a good day to remind my wife how incredible much I love her.

Life is great. Mac OSX sux!

Kari

This is very good news (including the very last line...LOL)

Today I start my second week of Lovenox injections ... One more week to go!!

Good Luck!!!! I hope it good well for you!

I'm back.

Welcome back Dinesh!!!

My cousin sent me this. He does a lot of traveling and one of his employess came up with this idea....

Today I spent approx 4 hours cleaning out the Sister-in-Law's Laptop. It had a Trojan. Then I went to work and spent 3 hours configuring a new CAD Workstation (Dell Precision T7500) for one of my users who needs it first thing in the morning. I then came home and spent over an hour shoveling snow from the Driveway, sidewalks, and steps. And now I relaxing checking out my favorite Forum for the rest of the evening.

That would have my back feeling a mite tender!

Today we put fresh oil and gas in our snowblower and fired it up for the first time this fall. (Our driveway is way too big to shovel)

Interesting how this Globe of ours works, I mean geographically and climatically. Check this map out:

Winnipeg, Utsjoki, Leipzig

A is your Winnipeg, B where I'm coming from, Utsjoki in Finnish Lapland, and C Leipzig where I live now.

I can understand winter has already arrived in Utsjoki, night temperatures between -6°C and -13°C (21°F to 8°F) and snow enough to give to some tropical countries, as we say back home.

But Winnipeg and Leipzig are approximately at the same level. You had to showel snow today, we had a beautiful fall day with temperatures around 10°C (50°F)

Earth is interesting!
