Had a nice fireworks display here in Rochester. The bugs weren't too bad, either.

Well, this is it--the game-changer.

Memory.

This is why it took me ages to get to this point--I wasn't sure I wanted to do this. But after much consideration...it'll make a better story this way.

Was very good to see you Ice. I got on Saturday evening and joined up with the mixer on the Cygnus server. Was a LOT of fun. Got a couple of Airmail + Artillery Shots in, too, which surprised the heck out of me.

Well, considering you'll have to compete with DriveATank.com, which is about 90 minutes away from my home....

Oooo, those hypersonic thingamajigs with the little supercaviation plate on the nose? Those things are scary . ...though I have to wonder what those plates are made of to take that kind of abuse.... ....anyway! Life! Currently married (9 years and counting) and still in Minnesota. It's still cold, I...

....thought you were actually talking about turtle meat here. Drat.

Well, try it sometime. It's a bit gamey, but tasty.

PS: slip-jaw pliers and a hatchet are recommended to behead the turtle. Chisel and/or hacksaw to get the shell open.

Bit of a gap, but then again, life has been arbitrarily exciting since I last wrote. Read, enjoy.

Entirely feasible to use the 200 series as a handheld--it's only got a 3.5" screen.

Yep, you read right. After five years of school, house-husbandry, and freelancing, I am gainfully employed at a local company here in Rochester, MN. Here's the website if you'd like to take a look: RightWay GPS The short-form is that we sell cheap er GPS devices that still have loads and loads of fe...

"The Wal-Mart Method"? I hate to be an argumentative cuss, but if we stopped any and all imports for two years, Wal-Mart would be dead . Unless, of course, they put their mastery of logistics to the use of procuring items from within the US. Prices would go up, without a doubt. How much ex...

The USS New Orleans is actually a San Antonio-class ship. A troop transport with all kinds of extra goodies. It really does seem bigger on the inside than the outside. What I found amazing was that there are apparently individual bunks for every crewman, landing force and actual sailors included. Gr...

Well, it wasn't so much that the cable was bent into a curve beyond which it could transmit light--it could. It was that the cable was bent right up to that limit and given no slack to account for moving, expansion//contraction of the hull and bulkheads, and so on. However, our tourguide (a petty of...

The ship was the USS New Orleans, one of the Navy's new 'multi-role' ships, although it is mainly meant to carry several hundred Marines along with their beach landing gear, tanks, hovercraft, a couple of Ospreys, and two or three other choppers. We got to go inside and take a tour. It was the oddes...

Hey all. Mrs. Bug and I have been traveling a bit over the last couple-three years, and I finally got the wherewithal to actually make and use a Flickr account. Here's the link to my Flickr account. I'm much happier with the images from S. Illinois than I am the ones from New Orleans, mostly because...
