About to take off for a 700+ mile road trip.

Godspeed Ray!

Well all day driving with the wife and kids went surprisingly well. Traffic and weather were great but every place we ate at or in one case tried to eat at had horrible service. 

But we made it home!

Transferred my build and new GPU into my Ncase.

Gratz on the safe trip.  The longest one I have done is 1300 in one shot.  That was 20 hours of drive time by myself.  I don't think i would do that again.

How about noise/temperatures?

Sold my favorite lens. It was magical but we need the money to buy a house

Good to hear the drive went well!

Roadside dining is meh at best...there are exceptions but I personally can't remember the last good meal I had at a roadside pitstop.

One of the best BBQ places I've eaten at, and it's inside of a truck stop, in a town that's pretty much known for being a large truck stop

friday: drank until 3am. spit on the neighbor's dog and other fun.

saturday: spent nearly all day reading reddit. found out that my typical day should involve listening to putin's speeches, beating gays and getting beaten by the police. then had a columbo night with wife and beer.

sunday: went to thai massage ("77 minutes of happiness") with wife, it was ok but nothing special. then went to a chocolate bar. then to a seafood restaurant. had coconut soup and shrimp dumplings. was also ok but nothing special. then wife went to a book store and i went to a liquor store. then columbo night continued.

[demik]

enjoyed some wings, football and rain.

best day ever.

Having talked **** about COD for years yet never having actually sat down to play for more than 10 minutes, today I played through the entire solo campaign of COD: Ghosts and can happily report that all my **** talking about the linear, hand-holdy, poorly written, trope after trope, instant death quicktime ****ery I thought the franchise was, is indeed all that and worse.

I feel a great affirmation today

[demik]

you must feel high and mighty

[hwood34]

Got most of the soldering done on my first hand-wiring project. A little less clean than lowpoly's but I'm still proud of it. Now just to figure out anything about teensy...

Pretty good. I like the white/blue combo.

[daft357]

thanks.  the process was easier than I thought. it i may just blue keycaps in the future to compliment the white faceplate.

Ordered and paid for a new passport and ID-card (ouch), went to my Chinese lessons, frosted some acrylic and had fun reading a list of Dutch profanity.

[Badwrench]

Went for a walk in the rain in flip flops and shorts.  I love when it rains in SoCal.   

Had my 18 month old daughter with me (she was bundled and in a covered stroller) and she kept putting her hands out saying water over and over.  Awesome!

Set a pair of 39' 3000 pound rails about 35 feet in the air on the bridge beams only to find out the beams were not even close to straight so the contractor had to fix that before we could continue with those rails.  We are installing a 25 and a 50 ton bridge crane in a new building with no roof.  Its still a touch chilly here in Iowa.

Oops missed this...

Anyway, partaking of street meat often lands one with hepatitis and / or amoebiasis.

Today, I made a lego keycap so I can sit a minifig on it and use it as my Esc key.

recorded the route of my cycling to work for the first time (using endomondo and satellite navigation). surprisingly precise, though the track shows that i have an extraordinary ability to cycle over a river.
