So I am the trooper. My father in law just had knee replacement, and can't get up a ladder, let alone paint. So my wife and I go over to to do the painting. My nephew was suppose to take out the nails on the trim, and wash it down, didn't happen. Here is where gravity is not a good thing. A 6ft man at 230 lbs is not a good thing hanging upside down trying to take nails out of the trim. First off is was like 110 degrees up there, and everything is sloped. Not good for my big butt, but I did not fall.:up:
My wife does the low stuff so I take my big butt up the ladder and have to do the 2nd story trim. I am sweating up there like it is nobody's business. I move up to do the real high stuff while holding the paint tray and go up another ladder that is 6 foot, because it is too high to hop up with my sled.:wink2: Well I have been at this for a couple of hours an sweating like a pig. So me and my big sled are walking up the ladder to the top of the house all of a sudden the ladder is sliding on the second landing of the roof.:no: John goes rut row, as the ladder is falling I have to leap on to the blazing hot roof in shorts before the ladder is gone.
Well let's say that I mad it to the top landing, spilled no paint, and was like whoo. If I would of fell I would of rolled down the second landing and then off the roof totally picking up speed like no other. Did I mention my wife was painting right under me. No beer was involved, but after I got the crap scared out of me, and scraped my shin up really good, my mother in law showed up with Sammy Adams Summer Ale. Got to love her.
So what did you do today?:lol:

I got myself a new TV, reorganized my various boxes in terms of their shelf placement, bought a rack for my games, and attached my computer speakers and subwoofer to the new TV (a Samsung LN32A550.)

Close. I just got my new reciever...Onkyo- TS-SX605 :up:
So, I am trying to reorganize...damn good thing for HDMI..Not nearly as many cables
Of course, now I have to come up with another power outlet. 2 Video games, DVD, 24-disc CD Changer, and my 50" Plasma is all I have outlets for....:pity:
At least I am not falling off roofs onto 100 degree rooftops.
FYI: It really is almost 100 degrees here Brother John..thats why I am driking St Pauli Girls (Dark) inside the comfort of my AC added House....:up: -

Do you use one of those strip-style surge protectors, or have you made the plunge and gotten a UPS? -

I would really not get Monster-brand anything. They're overpriced. -
BTW: We used to have those UPS all over the place at work. IT came and took them all out. Guess they have a bad habit of doing bad things to Computer's :up:
I dont know, my realm is all about Mechanical Engineering, and electronics is largely smoke and mirrors to me, but that is what my good friend in IT told me
Also, let me know if you start shopping for Recievers. Love this Onkyo I just scored. Does everything right, and not any downside I can see. Very "Forward" looking as far as technology..and only about 350 right now :up:
I am going to now go check out the thread I started prior to buying it and see who swaded me to buying this model. Have to get him a virtual beer.Desides likes this. -

Attended my best friend's wedding reception last night. They had a destination wedding in Jamaica a month ago. My wife and I were invited, but couldn't attend because she was about 7 months pregnant at the time and we didn't think she should be traveling. (Baby's due 6/25.)

went to the US Coast Guard Station Ft. Pierce for an open house. Saw the Pea Island rescue video, toured a Cutter, watched a helo rescue demo, chatted with the bomb squad and Customs. Got invited back to give a powerpoint about the USLSS. Met Woody of the Smithsonian. Good day, got to thank my local Coasties for serving.

I used to tell my Step-son this all the time when he was living here.
You only get to go through it once. Anything you were doing while skipping can be done later on in life, you only get 1 shot at school bro.
Like Brother John said, go and soak it all up. The more you do now, the better your quality of life will be later :wink2:
Also, my hat is off to your folks for grounding you...sounds harsh, but true. :hi5: -

Also, GE owns NBC, Westinghouse owns CBS and Disney owns ABC, all of whom dwarf DTV. -
Usually when I skip, so do most of my friends all we'll go golfing, go to the gym, or just chill at my house.
I'm just going to try to do good on the finals in June so I can be eligible for football this upcoming year, but that shouldn't be too hard becuase our school only reqiures a 1.66 to play a sport and I have like a 2.5-2.7 -

Look, I'm not your dad or your big brother. In fact, I have absolutely no vested interest in your future, so do what you want. But skipping school leads to lousy grades. It's an absolute fact.alen1 likes this. -
