Randomness

dencoartist better get his narrow ass back here in Livejournal Land before I find him toss him over my shoulder and drag him back here kicking and screaming. Though, I think he'd like that too much.

I've noticed the 18 volt battery packs for my ridiculous collection of DeWalt cordless tools are not lasting very long. I have older tools with batteries going on over ten years old that are still hanging in there. Methinks there is some profiteering at play here. It does not help that I really put the tools through their paces when I use them at times. Still, that has always been the case, and a battery should last more than a couple years.

Plumbing project Phase One is a complete success. Phase Two happens this winter. Relocating/replacing the water heater and a reverse osmosis filter for drinking water and ice making. In the meantime, the sunroom gets finished once and for all.

Tuesday is Talk Like A Pirate Day. I have my bit torrent client working overtime in honor of the special day.

I need to get working on existing and new PCs. The only reasonably useful, 'shared' PC here has strange issues regarding the optical drives. Wont load drivers, saying the files are missing/corrupt. Nothing, and I mean nothing I do to rectify the situation helps. I either have a hardware failure or a rootkit thanks to the music industry. I cant install my needed software on this thing until I get it figured out.

Religious extremism might not have killed off the human race just yet, but is sure did a number on common sense as of late. Herr Popezinger has been backpedaling faster and faster, his ultimate speed being held back by aerodynamic drag from that Titan missle-class mitre. In the meantime the number of Muslims calling for bloody jihad against the West keep growing, upset at at anyone who feels Islam is not a peaceable, loving faith. You know, just like Christianity.

I have a lot more meaningful posts to make, maybe one day I will start making them.

Hmmmmmm... you know I've noticed those 18v DeWalt batteries aren't lasting long either. I bought my cordless drill a couple of years ago, and the two batteries that came with it are lasting not quite an hour, whereas before they were lasting several.

I used to have a couple 'Versa Pack' 3.6 tools, a cordless screwdriver and a snake light. I could not get a year out of the batteries in that system, even the NiMH cells. Regardless of how I cared for the batteries, they'd crap out in about a year. I finally got out of that money pit. I am hoping the 18s dont turn out the same way.

Constanly having low packs when I need to quicky use the tools is a pain. I just picked up a 36 volt hammerdrill last week. At least LiIon cells will hold most of their charge if not used in a couple months. Or that's what I hope.

I like the way you think, sir. I would watch that show. Although if Phil could do a few episodes shirtless, that would help a lot. In either case, write what you like...I'll certainly read it.

I am so surprised the pope made that statement in the first place.
A friend thinks it was done on purpose, to take a slap at islam.
He's thought of to be the intellectual, i don't think the statement was a mistake. The question is why.
