You got to be kidding me


MELVILLE, N.Y. - A woman whose sister died in the Sept. 11 attacks filed a lawsuit over last week’s steam pipe eruption in Manhattan, saying Tuesday that the explosion brought back horrible memories.”

What is wrong with people, they will sue for any old reason. Reminds me of a scene in Interstate 60.

Langley’s Response to this was great “I think I’m gonna sue her for filing suit, b/c that reminds me of 9/11 too”

Weekend in Review

Went tubing in 50 degree water, gashed my back on rocks, bought a bike and nearly broke my toe on the first ride.

Change is in the Air

After considerable discussion the last few weeks, AK-47 and I made some changes at the house yesterday. We decided that wasting our money and time watching the crap that’s on the cable networks had to stop.  We downgraded our cable service to the analog basic package which gives us roughly 5 -10 watchable channels. Most of these are the local over-the-air channels (NBC, Fox, ABC etc) We held on to that only so that we could still benefit from the High Speed internet at a cheaper rate. Ultimately we are saving a about 60 bucks a month with this downgrade. In turn we finally made the move to one of those Online DVD rental services. I spent some time yesterday researching the differences between NetFlix and Blockbuster Total Access. With out going into too many details we decided on the 9.95 Netflix plan. If you have a Netflix account add us as a friend with this link so we can be all Web 2.0 and stuff and start trading queues and reccomendations. I muist admit I’m pretty excited because now when we decide to sit in front of the television we will have a fresh new movie waiting for us to watch instead of Celebrity Fit Club.

Sun baked.

Spent most of the weekend outside baking in the sun. Believe it or not it was quite nice. Saturday we hung out at the Tour De Fat  just down the road from us at City Park. Lot’s of insanity, people dressed up, wacky sideshows and a plethora of interesting new concepts in bicycle riding. On Sunday I went with a friend to the Rockies game which epitomized insanity when an afternoon shower blew through. Check out the Video here. Now that was insane. In the evening AK and I headed up to the Boondocks to go to Boondocks. Played some mini golf and vowed to return for the go-karts.

One Hot Weekend

With the temps this weekend nearing 100 all three days, much of it was spent indoors. I used some of that to rearrange the office as well as some necessary cleaning. I wanted to spend more time out back doing some yard work, but man it was hot. All this heat, sun and no rain has pretty much turned my lawn brown. The piece of crap sprinkler and the lack of hose to reach the front didn’t help either. Yesterday I picked up a new sprinkler, some Revive, and a 50′ hose extension. After the application of the revive and with the new sprinkler, I was finally able to efficiently water the front and back lawn. Now it’s a matter of daily watering and waiting.
