Thanksgiving is over and now its back to all the stuff i neglected to do during thanksgiving weekend.

Morning all.
Off to a spectacular start with a force shutdown/restart, then a fire alarm.
Slightly over an hour later, ready to start doing something.

In astounding news, I didnt tack on any #s over the weekend. Slaving away for my parents clearly paid off!

Damn. Calf is blown pretty good, huh?

Time for me to do the snow tires too. Our road has taken on the coated ice consistency that we can expect more or less through March, interspersed with fresh pow, moderately gritty dirt coating, and mud bog...

Yup, I am pretty bummed out about it. I was just hitting a nice schedule and boom. My bro who was a sports medicine guy in school thought I was just at a type two sprain with some partial tearing. His thought was a month to six weeks before I am doing what I was the day I injured myself. So I have to continue going to xfit just cant do the full workouts. The trainer/owner of the gym has been emailing me all weekend asking me how I am doing and telling me how he can adjust my routine, which is pretty cool IMHO. So I am going to skip again today and get the tires done and go tomorrow which will be 5 full days away from major activity. What I cant do is continue RICE'n it due to being at work.

We are supposed to get another coating to 2 inches tomorrow, and with my trip up to VT 12/14 or 12/15 I figured now was a good time. I hope I dont miss my summer tires to much.

Gm.net does anyone else dispise the sound snow makes when you walk on it, that crunch noise? Also wish I had an automatic start for my car .. But I'm thankfull just to have one.. It's officially winter

Well. Looks like the Giants played ok last night...

I actually love the sound of walking on fresh snow.

I'm ok without a autostart for the car. What I wish, though, was that I could set up the keyless entry that I have for the car on my house. This shouldn't be that difficult. Put a little electronic gizmo on my keychain that allows me to push a button and unlock my front door instead of having to get the key out while I'm holding 18 bags and trying to keep 2 children from playing in traffic. THAT would be helpful. You know, they probably already have this. Maybe I should actually, you know, look for it before complaining that it doesn't exist. That wouldn't be my style, though. I'm sort of a "jump in head first" complainer.

And, no body answered my question from last night:

Question: Ed Rooney or Walter Peck? Who's the better comedic foil?

It's got to be Rooney just based on screen time I guess, but Peck kills every scene he's in.

For those of you who didn't see them last night, I also got these back:

GM.N, woke up this morning and realized I had a final at 1pm. Who schedules a f***in final the Monday after Thanksgiving? Needless to say this is the same class I have a 15 page essay due next week which I've neglected all semester. Oh and this is the only class I need to be able to graduate next month.

KMS

Morning. I watched approximately 30 hours of Breaking Bad this weekend, so...overall I'd say it was a success. I particularly enjoyed the part where I accidentally read a pretty major spoiler on PT prior to watching the season 4 finale. Lesson learn'd there.

Morning everyone.

I hate the sound my ass makes when I blow-dry it while walking through snow.

Ed Rooney > Walter Peck. He was so funny he got an extended scene through the credits.

7/6/94 is an awesome Reba, solid A. Rest of that show also kills.

Woo Hoo. Just picked up these little random parts I need for a minor car repair at the parts store. That could have been much more complicated than it was...

I've got nothing. I've been trying to think of something to say in this here gm.net thread and I've got nothing.
I have got nothing... that's a weird statement. How do you have nothing, possess nothing. The combination of words conflict with logic. or something like that.
nevermind.

Great Woods lot 2009 - dude walking around with a big blank cardboard sign yelling "I got nothing! Fattie Nothing, right here! Nothing at all..."

Pretty hilarious.

GM.N
Easing into my Monday... I close on my house (the one I am buying) on Friday, so I am coordinating the movers, closing times, etc. Stressful, but exciting. The end of a very long and difficult two years.
Holiday was fun stuff, especially for the kids. No major injuries is always a good thing....

Morning all

@Conphucius is there a story behind the ass drying or are you just dropping that gem & moving on?

Something I saw in the health club locker room- 60 year old dude standing there naked, using the hair dryer to dry his ass. I guess this is something people do.

/swamp ass'd

Nothing is probably just a shortened version of no things. So when you say ive got nothing you're really saying I've got no things. So you're not saying that you're possessing nothing as a thing, you're saying thay you are not possessing anything. Right?

Hairy ass perhaps?

I can understand wanting hot air to dry hair on your head, but I would think cool air would be more refreshing for accelerated ass drying. I imagine one of these would work nicely:

I have a 15 year old pair of Sennheisers that I just sent back to have refurbished, they came back perfect. I have never used a wireless set before but if the quality of mine is any indication I would bet you are fine. I would want to try them in person if possible though.

@mfhgreyboy - I haven't heard that particular model, but Sennheiser makes pretty consistently good products. Definitely try them out before buying if you can. There's only so much about sound quality that can be gleaned from descriptions/reviews.

In the little bit of reading I did "aptX" bluetooth seems to be important, like it's better than other varieties of the technology. I think the Galaxy S3 supports aptX, so that sounds like a plus if you plan to use the headphones with your phone.

Anyone buying powerball tickets?

I've yet to hear anything particularly bad about Sennheiser. The S3 support is a big factor. I'm thinking about ditching my ipod and this seems like an awesome set-up. I think the "aptX" has something to do with running bluetooth without the accompanying loss that normally occurs, but I could be way off.

I just did a little bit of reading about apt-X. I guess it's a compression algorithm that can do higher bit rates than other algorithms used with bluetooth. It won't do lossless quality, but it sounds like a definite step up over other bluetooth.

Disclaimer -- I am in a bad mood...

I am SO annoyed with people who are trying to "upgrade" their YEMSG tickets. Don't they realize that once you are inside the building, it doesn't matter? They should just sell their 400 section seats to me and get good karma for the year.

/end rant

I don't disagree with that at all.
