greatbearEgads, what izzit with this new web interface?
Arizona was nice, weather was almost perfect, raining the first day we were there but cleared out and was fantastic for the rest of my time there. I was reminded how much I love the heat but cant stand the humidity; there was heat, but no humidity. Stayed at the Tempe Mission Palms hotel which was next to ASU, while Jeff was dealing with his work-related conference things, I wandered about in Tempe. One thing that I noticed was how friendly everyone was in Tempe and Phoenix, even at the airport. Again, it must be the lack of humidity.
I finally got to see The Transporter. It gets my vote for the most homoerotic fight sequence in a mainstream movie. Whew!
Boris the Spider was nowhere to be found when I got back from AZ. I am once again without a pet.
Both my truck and the Mini are beginning to hint about needing new tires. I tore down the front axle of the truck and replaced the bearings and seals, along with doing all manner of regular maintenance jobs on it. I gotta give the old beasty credit, it owes me nothing. I've beaten the hell outta the poor thing, and other than last year's rebuilding and beefing up of the transmission, it has been quite reliable and runs like the day I bought it (better, actually, with the injection pump tweaks and freeflow exhaust I added a few years back). I'd buy another Cummins in a heartbeat, but I'd have to keep the old beast as well. I already buy 15W-40 by the 55 gallon drum as it is.
I'm jonesing for a new digital camera. I'm torn between the Olympus C-8080 and the Canon Digital Rebel.
I have to continually chase a young deer out of my yard. It completely decimated my vegetable garden this year. Little bastard is bold as hell, I had to get to withing ten feet of it waving my arms and yelling at it until it would scamper off. I find deer shit all over the yard where my fruit trees are, as well as in and around the garden. Bastage.
I made a little bet when Jeff and I got on the plane that the male flight attendant was gay. He went though the preflight spiel with such phrases as "wear your seatbelts low on your waist like J-Lo", "the disco lights on the floor will light up to aid in exiting in emergencies", "use the seat bottom as a flotation device as shown by the cartoon Rosie O'Donnell in your information cards", and all manner of other blatant references. Sheesh. Not only was he gay, he was so light in his loafers that the plane almost took off like a Harrier at the terminal. On the way back the male attendant was much more reserved and could almost pass as straight.
I need to make some changes in my LJ soon. I have some updated icons (some thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
irishbeard), I need to 'adjust' my friend's list and update some other info. All good stuff.
