    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    The suspension is bullshit. That was a clean hit. The refs, and apparently the league, are afraid of Montreal fans. Stupid. Montreal seems to have things sorted tonight, though.

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    Well, so much for any hope anyone had for Toronto in the post season. What a bunch of crap.

    Heh. Finally finished all the bits and bobs on my study. I'll have pictures in a few days. Took a very bad "library" with horrible shelves, popcorn ceiling, and a 20 inch door and changed it to a wide open room with almost 200 linear feet of built in book shelves. I'm trying to upgrade my...

    And I must spread some rep around, first. Odd, that I don't know more about irrigation systems. When I was landscaping, it just wasn't a thing in the areas where I worked. They don't look expensive, or hard to figure out. Thanks!

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Actually, I'd beg to differ. There are kids that have access to fairly well paying jobs that are designed for the current school year. It's a lot harder to make money in smaller blocks of time, as it is harder for employers to create useful jobs to suit those times.

    Yeah, that's not the part I mean, I'm clearly not knowing what's going on underground. That part is right up beside the house. The part about which I am speaking is right up by the road. At first I thought it was just a break in a line, but it was leaking even when the system was shut off for...

    I get to spend the weekend getting my irrigation system up to snuff. It was installed about 30 years ago, and clearly no one has done a thing to it since. There are four spray heads that don't work, and one of them is because it is so close to the driveway (literally touching the cement) that...

    Star Trek TNG, Best of Both Worlds

    Ouch. Was the theatre full? The one I was in was stuffed to bursting. Lots of people in Star Trek costumes, too. It didn't add much to my viewing experience. No shit. That's exactly what I'm talking about. And I especially like how she basically said she doesn't like Star Trek, and that...

    Star Trek TNG, Best of Both Worlds

    It was fun to watch, not spectacular, but fun. They also included a whole "making of" thing before hand with a lot of interviews. That was shite. The most interviewed character was the chickie who played Lt. Commander Shelby. I disliked her before, when watching the episode. I seriously...

    Beer can chicken update: effing delicious. Served with a salad of young greens with craisins, home made croutons, and goat cheese. Mild apple vinaigrette to top if you're in the mood.

    If you want to keep it really simple, you could just get a good impulse sprinkler, and put it at about centre on a raised platform. Put it 3 feet up, and you'd get the whole garden with that. Easy to put on a timer, cheap to do, and will get everything watered.

    Replacing bacon with carrots is like replacing sex with chickenpox. That said, I'm doing a beer-can chicken tomorrow night on my grill. Ah, summer. (everyone knows the deliciousness that is beer-can chicken, right? Here's the last one I made

    Rough day. I came home and found a huge leek in the bathroom. (Sorry. I couldn't resist.)
