Just Jack Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Not today, but I spent Wednesday to Friday at Yosemite. For it being end of April with no major holiday, it was busy. I can't imagine what it must be like trying to get around there in the middle of summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Went to Chevys for dinner and stayed for the show. Apparently some girl rejected this guy, on his way out he slams the front door of the restaurant, then when walking by the window she and her friend were seated at, gives her the double finger, and punches the plate glass window, sending shards of glass all over. Luckily no one was injured by the flying glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this story could get good if you are holding back some of it as a teaser! Anyway, I was on Bourbon Street years ago and saw a guy come up to a shop window, punch it, it fell to pieces... Then he just calmly walked away! I was like WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Uncover my a/c compressor and see if all is working okay... It is 85 degreees today in the village where I live... 15 miles north by The Lake in Chicago it is 65... Running the a/c real good! Seems we have two seasons: Winter & August! This heat is killing me being so adjusted to the cold. The house @ 79 degrees is suffocating! On midnight shift, I can't even sleep in this heat @ home! :-O LoL... EDIT: Gr8! Thermo/temp in house going down!... 78 now in the house down from 79, windows wide open, and a/c running a test... House is cooling even w/windows open... I guess the a/c should be good. Temps@ the registers about 20 degrees lower (in the low 40's) than the surrounding room temp. Condensay pipe dripping good... Should be set for summer... Fins on compressor look clean. Ahhhh... May in Northern Illinois! LoL Edited May 7, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 It pays to shop at Target.com before going to Target.... Was looking for a 32GB microSD for a tablet I have, Target.com had a good one for $22 and showing in stock at my local store. Went down there and the shelf tag was $45. They verified the price on the website and matched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Info Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just returned but spent the last 2 weeks setting up a new facility in Copenhagen. I rented a bicycle at the hotel and rode it every day to the new site...just like the locals do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_in_Copenhagen Traffic lights are there for bikes which signal a couple of seconds prior to the auto lights. That way they clear the turn lanes. Bicyclists there queue at lights, wait for the signal, ride on the correct side of the road in bike lanes, and stiff fines are issued by the police if you do not comply. Perhaps that would appease some anti-biking people in the Hate Bicyclists thread. But it was difficult keep my eyes on the road with gorgeous girls/women riding bikes in skirts, high heels. etc. I will return in the fall to complete the site and will go from there to Suzhou to open another facility. Will seek out some places to catch Bills games while I am away and try to schedule the travel so we can go to the hometwo games we would like to attend. I am more optimistic about the team this year than in previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelf tag matched it also. When ringing it up, it rang up the $45 seen on the link. Must be they put the Sunday prices in early on Saturday. Score!

My wife lived in Amsterdam for four years and rode her bike everywhere -- same culture; she loved it. I was in Malmo several years ago and saw the same thing.

Well motorists do pay more in fuel taxes that go directly (or should, LoL!) into the upkeep of the roads... Why shouldn't they get priority over bicycles... So a fuel burning vehicle can go slower, idle and spend more taxes. Just saying... Who's paying the bills here... ?? If everybody rode bikes, the roads would look like crap and they probably complain about that. LoL... There probably would still be a hate bicycles thread... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the index actually has the index temp lower when the humidity is low (below) 20% vs higher when there is more humidity (muggy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
