There are a lot days that I don't feel my best necessarily. Now it could be a lot of things. It could be the Cherry fruit pie and Chocolate YoHoo (sp?) that I had for lunch yesterday. Or perhaps the fact that I had a cinniman pop tart for breakfast that cause my illness.
In hindsight though, I believe it was the 3 day old milk that I drank.....yeah, that was probably what was allowing pure concentrated evil to emanate from my "tush" yesterday.
I just want to apologize in advance for those I put in the hospital...:) Let's see, been working 12 hour days here pretty much every day but for sunday. The house is starting to wither a bit, but i'm sure things will die down soon, plus i'm on vacation from my primary job next week so that will give some time for me to concentrate on fixing some stuff around here. On the bright side, I now know more about romance novels than I ever wanted to...oh, wait...that's not a bright side. Finally got to do some tweaks on my computer also, using this article at IANAG as a template. Really though, the most useful tip was to use a program called TweakXP by Driverheaven. Saves you from having to do a lot of registry editing by hand, and I'm pretty happy with it personally. Also, I patched Doom 3 to 1.1 just for the heck of it. Patch here - More pictures of storm damage, this time from Sweden.
- Jack Daniel's reduces alcohol content in their whiskey....also 15% less paint thinner as well.
- Volunteer firefighter gets 7 days in jail for taking "memento's" from Ground Zero in NY. Satan reportedly ordering more pineapples as we speak.
- Top 11 reasons you just saw boobies on my computer screen.
- Man ticketed for landing helicopter in his back yard. Wait? that's against the law? Damn...so much for that idea.

I hate pizza hut. I fucking hate pizza hut. Perhaps at times in my life I have been unreasonable. It is possible that I unfaily project my expectations of performance upon people who do not deserve to be judged. After all, it's not fair to go to McDonalds and expect a 5 star meal is it? Of course not.
Actually, I want to apologize to Pizza Hut and it's employee's. I now see the error of my ways when I foolishly, and selfishly expected you to deliver an actual, physical, pizza to my house last night after supplying you with a valid credit card and being told my order would be here in 45 minutes to an hour. There is simply no excuse for me assuming that by giving you my address that you would be able to actually find my house and navigate the roads between my location and yours successfully without traversing into other counties and towns only to call me twice asking where I was (because my house magically moves). I can only say how sorry I am and that this will never happen again. I promise that I will not expect the person who takes to my order to actually have a grasp upon which villages you deliver to, and won't expect them to tell me if I am ordering from a village outside your delivery area. I give my vow that next time I order I will have at least two of the following near my phone:
- magic 8 ball
- psychic hat capable of bestowing the wearer with amazing powers
- lassie
- 1/2 stick of butter *sigh* Seriously, how fucking hard is it to use Mapquest. It's even free for fuck's sake! I mean jesus christ, maybe if you weren't so baked your stupid minimum wage phone girl would know that they don't deliver to our house even though your crappy den of shitty pizza is only 3 literal miles down the road. And then your "manager" calls me to tell me that opps! they don't deliver down that far and that I should have called a different store. excuse me....what the fuck do you mean I SHOULD HAVE CALLED ANOTHER STORE!?!?!? LISTEN TO ME YOU SPECIAL OLYMPIC REJECT, EAT SHIT AND DIE YOU STUIPD MOTHERFUCKER. YOU NEVER CALL UP A CUSTOMER AND TELL THEM THEY ARE WRONG AND THEN TRY TO FOOLISHLY PORTRAY THEM AT THE PARTY AT FAULT ALL BECAUSE THEY CALLED THE WRONG STORE. AT NO TIME DID YOU EVEN MENTION THAT PERHAPS...JUST PERHAPS YOUR IGNORANT, MORLOCK OF AN EMPLOYEE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT AREAS YOU DELIVER TO! Guess what....after that clusterfuck wasting an hour (which we sat, hungry and tired from a long hard work day), we simply called Domino's and they were there in 45 minutes with piping hot pizza! Screw you pizza hut, I'll eat a steaming pile of my own vomit before I ever try to give you my money again. You give retarded people bad names. With morons like these breeding, I truly believe the apocolypse can only be so far away.

So between Sunday and yesterday we managed to get the Family Room pergo finally done. This means the only thing left to pergo in the house are the stairs!
The trimwork we're going to install should be arriving thursday, but I stll have to prime and paint what we have already....*phew* to much to do and not enough time. Getting there....last easy row before the fireplace from hell.

This is just the beginning of the customer cuts *wimper*

Here's the board I cut using a cardboard template (had to on all of these corner cuts....) before I put it in.

1/2 way in, just need to gently tap it in using the pullbar.

Voila...managed to sneak it in there...

*sigh* sold my soul, but the fireplace is finally done...

I finished up the closet and after getting nibbler's approval, the room is done!

The Family Room has officially kicked my butt and made me it's man-girl.... So we were about 1/2 done with the pergo, when Jen suddenly reminds me we were planning on running the speaker wires before we put the pergo down..... So, another jaunt to Home Depot, and about 45 dollars in expensive, over priced little plates for the surround system. I have to say though, now that it's done it's going to look sweet. Plus, running wires with another person helping is 1000 times easier than doing it yourself (which is how i'm used to). I keep forgetting how helpful Jen is when doing stuff around the house :) Anyways, pics in case anyone here wants to do something like it. We're going to leave the plates white, and not try to paint them. The paint probably wouldn't stick, but also I'm hoping they'll blend because they're a different subsystem. Besides, I can always take them off and paint them later. Here's the parts all put together:

We used a template to make the holes, so they'd all be the same space away and look uniform.

A drywall saw, and 5 minutes later we have a hole!

Sweet, eh? Expensive but should be able to handle just about anything we throw at them (16 gauge wire in the walls)

This is the main terminal, it will be behind the TV. As you can see it's wired for Dolby 6.1 surround, so there are 3 terminals, not 2.

Is this the template, or my halloween costume?
Tommorrow, the exciting conclusion of the Family Room pergo! Same bat time, same bat channel.

Me and Jen spent a really cool saturday evening drinking beer and relaxing infront of a burnpit with some neighbors. It's a little odd, but the guy we bought her bike from and his wife are really cool and we get along with them great. So they invited us over for a bonfire with some of their friends. It really was a nice time, and I learned many things you wouldn't think can indeed burn if so wanted :) Anyways, before we went we got some progress done on the Family Room pergo....it's really kicking our asses.... The first row....always the hardest.

Moving along nicely....

Templates, templates, templates....cardboard doesn't cost anything, pergo does.

See...one cut, and it fits.......

Yet another template cut......for the basement door way

See that? Perfect....honestly, i didn't photoshop a thing...i swear...*whistles*

Jen left the room shortly after i said "git r dun" for the 10th time

Are vents swell? We love'em
Ok, off to play FF7....jens at work and i'm feeling lazy :P

Got to see Resident Evil: Apocolypse last night. Now maybe it's because I played the games or because I'm a geek but that movie kicked SO much ass. I can only pray they plan on making a 3rd one now...plus it was great to see that guy from the Mummy get more work :) When we got home from Trader Joe's today, there was a package at our door. Turns out the new dining room light finally arrived. Of course we wasted no time putting it up:

Thank god I have headphones at work. For some undetermined reason, somebody near me has chosen to clip their nails at their desk. Now, you have to understand that I work in a very quiet office and can hear just about anything over a whisper near me. Every time they clip, it's like evil midgets are nailing rusty railroad spikes in my ears....*shudder* i mean jesus christ, wtf, it almost sounds like they need my dremel over there. I don't care if I do go deaf from blasting Type O Negative, as long as I don't have to feel as if my ear canal is being violated. So, me and Jen finished painting the 3rd coat of paint on the Family room walls yesterday. We originally went with a color called Manhattan Mist....but once it dried it looked more like pastel M&M's than the light blue grey we were expecting.
After that debacle, we agonized over colors for hours in the Home Depot and finally decided on Pewter Mug. pics you say? well yes I just happen to have a few:

Also snapped a cute pic of chloe and nibbler exploring their emotional sides :)
I'm also trying to finish up playing FF7 on the computer downstairs. Jen's been great about letting me play in the evenings while she's making dinner. Right now I'm trying to get the chocobo racing out of the way so I can breed a golden chocobo and eek every little bit of joy out of this game before I go make Sephiroth my beeyotch. Oh, and Jen's motorcycle lessons are going great. She's really kicking ass and doing very well. The sad part is she's doing a lot better than I did when I started. Next week we'll work on doing wheelies!

Prepare to say goodbye to the rest of your day. Thanks to Jen. Squares 2 by Gavin Shapiro. So far my high score is 9477.
The Freedom Tower silver dollar. Coming soon the commemorative Auschwitz golden star of david. really...is there no depth to the levels men will sink to make a buck? Even the federal mint has had to warn people these are not legal tender. I think it's just horrible that these coins are even being offered and it's a complete travisty. I hope the people that thought of this die and go to hell with the damn hijacker's. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go cannabilize a power supply.

Did another stupid little mod to the Insight tonight while working in the garage replacing Jen's headlight. Picked up another horn that has a lower tone to add to the existing one, that way when I honk it's a little more than an imitation of the road runner. I thought about putting in an air horn, like i've done before, but decided against it. The credit for the idea goes to Jackmpg's posts in the Insight forum. So I took some pic's, following jackmpg's directions was simpler than anything, the hardest part I had was finding a spade connector in the mess I call a garage. I used 18 awg lamp wire......hey, it's what I had around and it's not like anyone's gonna see it. I mounted it by the front, but also because it's the only place the included brackets would fit:

Then here's the fuse box:

And the hack job I had to do to get the wire to fit:

I find it deliciously ironic that I've spent the whole labor day weekend laboring. Not that I'm complaining really, it's been a great chance to drive around to the local hardware stores multiple times. So far we've been to:
Home Depot twice
Lowes twice
Ace
Expo
Menards
The Great Indoors And discovered that a 34" pivot shower door can fit in Jen's car, purchased a lamp online, bought a mail box, and found out what 13 dollar beer tastes like. Speaking of the light, here's a pic of what we ordered:
We did manage to get the new mail box installed saturday-sunday (concrete takes 24 hours to cure fully) and of course took pics. The mailbox has been a subject of wishful renovation since we moved in. Complete piece of crap, complicated by the fact that they used a 23lbs box on a cheapy little cedar post with no real structural suppport. If you look at the pictures below you'll see the pathetic amount of concrete that was on the post. Where we used about 60lbs of concrete in ours....(20"x9" hole). I mean seriously, if you going to do a job (the original builders probably did this) at least take the time to do it right or don't even fucking bother. God it irritates me so much..... Old:

New:
Here's a couple of in progress shots:
Well, if you'll excuse me, time to go see a man about a motorcycle for Jen ;) And with any luck Rick and Kristin will be back from St. Louis safely.
