I have R2 pretty much rewired from the Toys for Tots event where I burned out a foot motor. I got the foot disassembled, a replacement motor installed, and everything put back together. I also tightened up the chains so it's (hopefully) not going to "pop" any more like it used to do when it ran ( Read more... )

atomicferret and I went to see Spamalot yesterday. It was our first date in a while, so that was really nice. And Karen looked HOT. Oh hell yeah.

She's had her tonils out a week ago, and laughing really hurts. So we were concerned about that...but she checked with tk0667 who had seen it a few days ago and he said it'd be OK, and he was right. It was fun, but ( Read more... )

They had a binding service so after you finished the thesis they'd bind it into a book and ( Read more... )

Xander has been watching Peep in the Big Wide World. They played hide and seek ( Read more... )

You know, I think there is nothing in this world quite as wonderful as a small child running towards you with their arms out yelling "Daddy!" as they jump into my arms for a hug. Sometimes it's Xander, sometimes it's Piper, but it's wonderful ( Read more... )
