[Teh One Who Knocks]

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 05:58 AM.

[Goofy]

The time now is 05:58 AM.

Like i'd be awake at that time of the morning :hand:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Sad thing is, I've been awake almost 4 hours now :(

[Goofy]

You woke up about the same time i went to sleep :lol: What time do you normally head off to bed? I usually go to bed around midnight, sometimes earlier if i'm beat. Alarm goes off at 7am, over to the workshop for an 8am start.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I usually try to be asleep between 9 and 9:30, but it's usually closer to between 9:30 and 10...alarm goes off at 3:15.

But this morning Pepper woke me up at 2:15 because she had to go out.

[Goofy]

Hows the wee man's broken tooth btw? :-k

[Teh One Who Knocks]

They want to pull it...they gave us a price of between $410 and $510 to do it...money we don't have right now :|

[Goofy]

Jesus, that's a steep price :shock:

Gonna have to go - have a good one gentlemen :hi: Probably won't be back on today so wish you a nice weekend! Goof oot! :bye:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Later mate! :bye:

[RBP]

Hello again. I spoke to my boss and worked it out to work from home today.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Nice, no need to venture out into the crap if you don't have to.

[RBP]

I don't have anything sitting on my desk that I can't do from here. Phone calls are the only issue, but most of my customer service requests come via email anyway.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I wish I could work from home :sad2:

[RBP]

:empathy: If you'd like to take a big pay cut and sit all day in a room in a prison with no windows, you can have my job. :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Windows are overrated :hand:

[RBP]

It's basically the storage room for dead equipment. Glorious.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Or, it can be a room of fantastical wonderment if you put your mind to it :tup:

[Pony]

It's basically the storage room for dead equipment. Glorious.

Better than IOS :hand:

[RBP]

I fear I have lost the ability to sleep in. :sad2:

Good morning.

[KevinD]

Meh. Stayed in bed as long as I could. Now working on a "Skills Assessment" program for the entire Electrical Dept. Next week, supposed to go to Louisiana to help train up a tech we have in that area. Then I have to create a Preventative Maintenance program.

[FBD]

Just started taking the Neve apart and doing capacitor inventory...looks like I'm going to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 caps to replace on this fuggin thing. The EQ units have like 40 in each one (22 units, last 2 tracks have compressors, only about 12 caps...)

my guitarist was like "I hope this thing actually does sound *that* good"

and the way I saw that, dude, when we looked for tubes for your hughes & ketterner, we went and said "what's the most sought after, best sounding EL34" and fuckin a they were right, the Mullard XF2 double halo getters really are worth 75 bucks a tube, if you're that concerned with your sound. this Neve is the mixing board analog, what's the best most sought after mixing board? fucking Neve. I dont see how the entire industry could be wrong.

just saw a 5350 on ebay recently, the dude was asking $43k for it :lol: he didnt get it.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:woot: It's Monday again :woot:

[RBP]

Man, 8:30 last night my body just said "enough" and I went to bed. I couldn't tell you the last time I slept for 9 hours.

I am all mixed up on my days. Monday? Oh, guess I have to work today. :meh:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I can't remember the last time I got more than 6 hours of sleep :(

[RBP]

Same here... that's the usual for me too.

Very quiet weekend here. Not sure what the week will bring. How about you, Lance?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Didn't do much this past weekend either, but somehow it still flew by in the blink of an eye. *sigh*

Gonna be another busy week at work, and it doesn't help that I was looking at the calendar and realized that my next 3 day weekend is still more than 3 months away.

[Pony]

[Teh One Who Knocks]

My kingdom for a good night sleep

[Goofy]

My kingdom for a good night sleep

Ditto! :yawn: At least things are going slightly better at work today........ atm anyway :lol: Me and my joiner mate Andy are going over to the club tonight to finish off the stage etc for the darts exhibition - looking good :tup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It's gonna be another long day here at work...and things are already getting on my nerves, continued over from yesterday, so not a good thing :lol:

[Goofy]

Work in general gets on my nerves :lol: My mate Ryan is back working with us now though so that's a big help :thumbsup: He got a job on the offshore rigs but was only out there 3 times before he was laid-off - the work out there has dried up for the moment but he could get called back out anytime.......... just hopefully not anytime soon :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You just jinxed it by saying that, he's probably getting the call right now :nono:

[Goofy]

Yeah, knowing my luck :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I guess it could be worse, we could be homeless and living in a cardboard box instead of having a job to complain about :-k

[Pony]

Is my cardboard box in a nice warm place like Hawaii?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:hand:

Downtown Detroit

[Pony]

Fuck that, I guess it really could be worse.

:lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:lol:

[Goofy]

I guess it could be worse, we could be homeless and living in a cardboard box instead of having a job to complain about :-k

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Ugh. so tired. :|

:snapout:

[RBP]

I am trying! Morning comes too early. I used to sleep much later, now I wake up early every day. It's annoying.

Much hey, it's hump day. :humpday:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Go to bed earlier :nono:

[RBP]

I did the last couple nights... but not so much last night.

And I woke up with pain in my coccyx. What?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:suspect:

[RBP]

I know. Weirdness. But now I shall wash it and get ready.

Good day, fine sir. Enjoy your humpday.

[KevinD]

Rough day yesterday. We almost lost my best friends daughter. She's like a daughter to me. Known her since she was 5. She was driving to school yesterday and got in a wreck. Got pinned in the car and was unconscious. Passerby stopped and pulled her out as the car was on fire. She was in a coma all yesterday, woke up this morning. Still has bleeding on her brain, multiple bone fractures, etc. She's in icu at memorial Herman in Houston, one of the best trauma center in the state, and prognosis is good as of now. She's talking, but not yet fully cognizant.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Damn, that sucks Kev, hopefully she pulls through just fine.

[Hal-9000]

Best wishes Kev....a good thing is that she's conscience :thumbsup: Kudos to the person that pulled her out too.

[KevinD]

Thanks all. The guy that pulled her out happens to be a friend of th family. He saw the accident happen. Here's her car about 5 min after she was out of the car.
http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq223/kmdracer/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_1084_zps32855e43.jpg

[Hal-9000]

Jesus Christ she's lucky to get out of that

[KevinD]

Yes she is. Been getting updates. She's more coherent now, and asking for food. CAT scans now show minimal brain bleeding and swelling. Prognosis for full recovery is excellent at this time.

[Hal-9000]

I totaled my car and broke my femur....car started on fire etc..


there was a Samaritan who dragged 3 of us out of my car.....never got to thank the person...24 years later and there's still about 5-10 minutes I can't remember because I was unconscious/in shock..

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Crazy fucked up day :meh:

[Hal-9000]

hey, you're going to get the permanent crown today?


best dental appointment ever :thumbsup: no freezing and it completes the process


just make sure you don't leave until your occlusion is totally comfortable with the new crown....tap tap tap your brains out until he makes it fit Lance

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Yeah, the appointment is at 3:30 this afternoon. No freezing? I couldn't remember if there were gonna be any shots or not on this visit, I don't remember from the last crown I had :lol:

Yeah, I'll be glad to get it over with.

[Hal-9000]

for my last trip through hell he froze me 3 times and did work outside the tooth (cut gums, then used a machine on the roots of my tooth/brain stem)

I could feel everything he was doing and started sweating :lol:

I wish I could get the effing thing root canaled...but he said that if I could feel outside the tooth with freezing, doing work inside would be a trip through hell


damn these fucking fucked up nerves! :x



*they'll just rip off your temp crown and use the super glue on the new....no freezing or dicking around :thumbsup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Good, I'm not a big fan of the needles in the mouth. I have to close my eyes when he starts heading in with the needle that looks like it's about 2 feet long :lol:

[Hal-9000]

don't mean to be a dick but the needle is the thing I look forward to in my appointments...least painful thing I experience :sad2:

it's the drilling when my teeth are frozen then that blinding white hot pain for the next 40 minutes or so that reduces me

[Hal-9000]

tell him to do an impression of your front teef cuz you want a metal detachable grill :lol:

[Hal-9000]

that says TACOMA spelled out in diamonds

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:suspect:

[Hal-9000]

up here at Tim Hortons they have a roll up the rim to win contest....on every cup you can peel up the rim and win a free donut, coffees, plus larger prizes like 100000 or big screen TV's


this time the grand prize is 40, 2014 Toyota Corollas :lol:


if I win the car I already I hate, I'll be selling that bitch in 30 seconds after claiming the prize :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

They're giving away 40 cars? :shock:

[Hal-9000]

plus 10 bonus cars of the same make...so yeah 50


do you know how many Tim Hortons there are up here and how many cups they go through in one day?

it's in the millions so it becomes a lottery chance at best

[Hal-9000]

and I fall for that shit every time they do this :lol:

I buy extra coffees/hot chocolates throughout the promotion...

it gets a little weird because it's common to buy a round for your coworkers and friends....if you give someone a prize cup, the argument is on..


Tim Hortons now has little contracts you can pick up with your coffee saying - I, hal-9000 gave Lance this hot chocolate free and clear :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:shakehead:

[Hal-9000]

some story about a person buying a coffee, throwing the cup in the trash and then someone noticed that they didn't roll up the rim

garbage picker takes cup and rolls up the rim, wins 10000 bucks....

they go to court, who's right?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

The guy who pulls it out of the garbage, once you toss it, you relinquished ownership. Prove that was the cup you just tossed in there compared with all the others that are likely in the trash.

[Hal-9000]

That was how it played out (with lawyers no less). Once you relinguish garbage, it's no longer your property.

The person made a big deal about buying it and then tried to show a chain of ownership right up until the cup hit the city dump (if it went that far).

Judge said nooooo, garbage picker was the rightful owner :thumbsup:

[Hal-9000]

same thing can happen with a winning lottery ticket...if you buy it, think it's a loser or just don't check it and then throw it away.....person who picks it up gets the money.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm smart 8-)

[Teh One Who Knocks]

If you have a winning lotto ticket, the only way to keep ownership before you cash it is to immediately sign the back. If you lose it and it hasn't been signed, then it's finders keepers.

[Hal-9000]

I'm smart 8-)

Your extensive dumpster diving experience does not equal intelligence, only perseverance [-(

[Hal-9000]

If you have a winning lotto ticket, the only way to keep ownership before you cash it is to immediately sign the back. If you lose it and it hasn't been signed, then it's finders keepers.

How about if you sign it, then throw it out into the trash?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

How about if you sign it, then throw it out into the trash?

I'm pretty sure, at least here in the States, that once it's signed, it becomes yours for good. If it ends up in the trash and someone else tries to claim it, you can always say it was accidentally thrown away.

[Hal-9000]

we have a year to claim any lottery ticket sold...I checked one I got for a birthday, literally the day after...one year later


I was sweating for a minute there :lol:

[KevinD]

She's out of icu. Brain swelling is going down, but having some motor skills problems.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

[Pony]

2 hour lunch, returned to work at 1 and left at 2. :meh:

At least we had some more snow today to keep the work coming in. And we got a heads up from Enterprise warning us we are about to be slammed with work from them. 98% of their cars are rented and there is snow on the roads.

Took a bit longer than I thought, but it went okay, feels good :)

Thor seems to be doing okay, we're really hoping that we don't need to get the tooth pulled.

My Ebay order from Sat arrived at lunch today. Unfortunately I ordered 2 items that were supposed to be packaged together. Only received 1. [-(

Not working today?

[RBP]

I am going to work. Which doesn't ensure I'll be working, but I am going to work. :lol:

Thank fuck it's pay day.

[Pony]

I'm half hoping I've nothing to do at work today so I can just fuck off for a couple hours and come home. The other half wants a decent job or two to make some money.

The downside is it's the last day of the month so they will "close out" any work they give me regardless if I finish it today or not.

[Pony]

Thank fuck it's pay day.

Yay! Maybe I can pay a couple more bills this afternoon!! :meh:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I am going to work. Which doesn't ensure I'll be working, but I am going to work. :lol:

[Goofy]

Played awesome at the darts comp on friday btw, we won it :dance: In the final i won my singles game with 13 and 15 dart legs :lol: First leg i went 100, 100, 180, 89 then D16 - second leg wasn't quite as good....... until the 160 finish :dance: Best darts i've played in ages, zero pain in the arm too :woot:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Nice, looks like the visits to the chiro paid off :thumbsup:

[Goofy]

Yeah, seems that way, my back feels great now too :thumbsup: Made a few changes to my diet too, having cereal at morning break instead of sandwiches, eating more fruit etc and i've dropped a stone in the last month or so :) It's not a diet as such (copious amounts of beer, pizzas and kebabs will atest to that 8-[ ), just trying to be a tiny bit more sensible! Losing a bit of weight will/should help with back problems in the future :thumbsup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Good for you mate ;thumbsup:

I really need to change my diet a bit, it's just a hard thing to do

[Goofy]

Trust me, i know :lol: The temptation is there all the time since healthy foods pretty much taste like cardboard :lol: Quite liking bran flakes with sultanas though....... and, truth is, i pretty much love all fruits anyway :)

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I hear ya, have you ever tried rice cakes? It's like trying to eat frickin' Styrofoam :lol:

[Goofy]

All the overtime i've been doing the last few months has probably helped too tbh........ plus the stress of getting all the tickets sold for the darts exhibition :lol: Stress burns calories i think :-k

Anyhow, i best get back to the ranch - later mate :bye:

I got in the habit of consulting my guts about food...start thinking of it like you're at the gas pump, when you know if you put 87 in there your engine is going to knock and ping like a mofo...or go the little extra and put the 93 in, knowing your engine will run better on it.

"bland" things actually start tasting better. things like corn syrup start tasting like the nasty quasi polymers they are, a thickass sludge that your body doesnt really process well at all.

[Hal-9000]

where I notice it with food.....I have a crap diet but do take a week and try for all reasonably healthy things....

if I do that for a few days I don't have an upset stomach, don't feel 'heavy' and sluggish in the morning etc


where I really notice it is when I take 5 days and eat well, then have a junk food bender one night...I feel soooo crappy the next day, it's like a hangover :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

people have been calling me crazy my whole life, it stopped phasing me by the time I was 10 or so :lol: I'd like to think I still have my sanity, even though I may be a bit crazy :dance:

[KevinD]

F-ing brr today. Woke up to 25f, water well frozen. Got that fixed, went to halfway between Houston and Dallas. Below 2 all day, out in the wind snow sleet and ice. Luckily I at least had a jacket in the work truck.

[Pony]

25F? lucky SOB, That almost sounds like spring!

Gonna drop to 0F again here tonight.

[KevinD]

Yeah, I know. Lol. I do know what cold is though, having spent several winters in N Dakota. Still, 25 in March is cold for down here. It was 80 yesterday.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Monday #2 :|

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I am definitely getting burned out on work :|

[Pony]

Yep. I'm feeling pretty burned out in general. When will spring be here?

[RBP]

Yep. I'm feeling pretty burned out in general. When will spring be here?

:agreed:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Spring is something I'm looking forward to, but not summer...I'm afraid it's gonna be another unbearably hot summer again this year :wha:

[Goofy]

I hear ya...... apparently it could even reach 25C here this summer :faint:




















:lol:

Hola peeps :waves:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

That's too hot :hand:

[Goofy]

It'll only hit 25C for a couple of minutes then drop back to normal [-(

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Anything over 20C is too hot :nono:

[Goofy]

Anything over 20C is too hot :nono:

Christ, you're worse than me :lol: I don't usually start to moan about the heat until it gets above 25/26C or so.........

Anyway, i'll have to head off (spent half my lunch spammer killing :twisted: ) - catch you later mate :bye:

Must be my Euro-blood (both parents from UK) - anything over 25 and I'm not happy.

Went to Cancun Mexico for my honeymoon and was expecting to hate the weather because it was the hot season. Hurricane had just left and so nice cool winds bringing things down to 22. Natives were huddling in Parkas!

I was loving it and the warm rain and simultaneous sunshine was great. We were known as the Crazy Canadian Couple who rain-tanned! :)

Oh and Good mornin' all...

[Hal-9000]

a bus driver in our city just lost her job....she drives one the little school buses and they often park them at their residences...

the other day it was -37C in the morning, bus wouldn't start...she had only 5 or 6 kids to pick up on her route so she jumped into her SUV, rescued the kids waiting on the street and delivered them to school...

she had called the school telling them about the bus problem, they said - We'll try to get someone out within a couple of hours...


moral of the story - 25C is fine, quit bitching about the heat when -37C can put you in the hospital :lol:

no, true moral is - doing the right thing is often rewarded with loss...I can't believe that they punted her. Even the parents who were told about 'insurance and safety concerns', because she used her own vehicle (rather than some decrepit old bus), are trying to fight the school system so she gets her job back

[Pony]

That's a shame. All because she cares about "her" kids. What would the school have done if the little ones would have ended up frostbit or worse?

Sadly this is the world we live in - more important to follow every code of conduct than to use common sense :|

[Teh One Who Knocks]

What's 'common sense'? :confused:

[Goofy]

Something that was outlawed in the 80s i think, may have been earlier :-k

Hey Goof, did you see the putt Creamer made to win the LPGA tourney over the weekend? I posted it in the golf thread :thumbsup:

[Goofy]

Yeah, caught it on Sky Sports News at lunchtime! :faint: ........... of course, i sunk tonnes of putts like that when i was younger :thumbsup:

:suspect:


What a way to win, in a playoff no less. I don't think I would have been within 20 feet of the hole on that one. :lol:

[Goofy]

:lol:

I watched the last couple of hours of the mens PGA event at the weekend there, did you see McIlroy's approach at 18 in regular play? 245 yard five wood across water to within 15 ft of the pin....... just awesome! Unfortunately he blew the putt and lost a 4-man play-off :lol:

Sad - we as parents are called upon to drive the kids to various events because there's just not enough funding for busses. And as we have a van that'll seat 5 kids in back, we do at least once in a while.

I know here in BC there's a provision in our insurance for emergencies...I think it's as long as it's not over x amount of times in a calendar month, you're OK.

McIlroy just imploded, it was his to win....gotta keep the ball out of the water.

[Goofy]

To be fair, he wasn't the only one to crumble down the stretch........ fuckin tough course :lol: I'd need a rather large bag full of balls to complete that course :mrgreen:

[Hal-9000]

Well that's just it.....so how does the conversion work again? Your 0F is about our -18C? So imagine your -20F and those kids are standing there waiting for a bus that would never come.

the schoolboard is completely off base talking about possible insurance implications, she made the right move

[Teh One Who Knocks]

the fat kid is sitting there with carcasses and red stuff all over his face when the second bus finally shows :lol:

Awesome...I had a similar shot like that once, par 3 #9 at Hawks Landing in town has the blue tees back at 235, 240, the one time I told my friends fuck you all I'm going to hit my tee from back there (white is like 165 on that hole, big pond and 30 yards of embankment up from the water to the green, +20, 25 feet high) and I landed it within 10 feet with my 5 wood. Of course, a lot of the greens there are a bitch, missed the birdie putt.

I keep telling my buddy I golf with most of the tie he hits it too far and should be playing blues, and he goes nah, fuck that...I like being able to drive the green in places, and I spray it too much, the blue fuck me over too often :lol:

I think after not playing last year and half the year before that I'm ready to play this year. I think I'm going to ebay the lefty clubs though, my left shoulder doesnt really like swinging lefty all that much.

[Pony]

When it gets to -10+ temps they tend to call school off for the day. Typically we only hit those temps once or twice a season.
