Coffee and Computers don't mix
Do not spill coffee on your laptop. Ever. Luckily, the place where I got it from did a spill clean up and put on a new keyboard (which was frazzled anywa) for $200. Not bad. I have a netbook but it's slower than snail snot and the screen is tiny and I haven't installed a video decoder to watch dvds.
Of my own volition I have abandonded my Toyota 4runner for a blue Hyundai Santa Fe which I have named Boomer the Banshee. Because, well, Na'vi ride banshee's and my Banshee's name is Boomer. Why did I do that? Well, the Toyota needed tires and brakes and the gas was killing me. So I traded across the board for the Santa Fe which had new tires and brakes, gets pretty good gas mileage and the seats are WAY more comfortable. It also has some interesting amenities I like MUCH better. I don't have to get on a fucking step ladder to wash the roof and I GET in and out of it, I don't CLIMB in and out of it. I love it.
I have also returned to mountain biking every Sunday and we had quite an adventure a few weeks ago when we had to have one of our party life flighted out of where we were (he'll be fine). Here are some rules.
1. take a cell phone. My buddy and I were the only ones with cells phones except for Larry who was laying on his.I'm serious. NO ONE HAD A CELL PHONE BUT ME AND KATHY AND LARRY (who was laying on his)
2. have gps on your cell phone, like I do.
3. when the dispatcher asks what your wearing, I said, "Are you kidding? Geeky bike clothes and bike shorts in colors that don't occur in nature. You can't miss us."
4. An incredibly good looking young man will be lowered from the helicopter. I mean it was, screw Larry who are YOU??????
5. It is bad taste to ask everyone if they have the right kind of life insurance while Larry is being hoisted into the sky. I did not do that, trust me. I joked aobut it later.
Anyway, now we all know how to do a helicopter rescue.
