"Not the younger Smith but his granddad..."The urban version of the rural guy saying "Go down the road to where the old school house used to be and turn right and drive till you get to the farm the Smiths used to own........."

Anyone ever give you directions using "sees"? I haven't but a buddy of mine told me about it. I think he was in Boston asking for directions and the guy kept telling him things like "you turn left and then go 3 sees then turn right, go 1 see and it should be on your left." Apparently a "see" is how far you can see so after you turn left you find a landmark the farthest you can see in that direction - gas station at the top of the next hill. When you get there it is one "see". Then you find the next landmark as far as you can see - that'll be the second "see", and so on. Craziest thing I have ever heard.
Niece was driving through on way back from Iowa to Montana. Did a drive by parking lot meetup so I could give the kids some Easter chocolate. Thought you all would be amused at my choice of locales, Total Wine. Well, it is just off 494/393 and allowed them to skirt the traffic of trying to come to my digs during rush hour.
That place is my wife's family's Mecca, always have to stop in whenever they're remotely in the area.
I'm with you, really not liking the work thingy today. Slowly and methodically killing time and picking away at the project. Right now I may be the only source of income for the boss on the side gig. Dude has no savings, his business knowledge is what he learned in first grade it appears.Need to get motivated somehow. Teetering between boring to death and just plan depressed.
I read somewhere that the people in Europe drank a lot of beer, because the process of making it purified the water -- which was otherwise undrinkable.I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I read once that beer was "invented" in a similar way. A bunch of grain being stored for future use somehow got wet and soaked for awhile and fermented. By the time the people got to it to use, the grain was ruined but they decided to drink the liquid and they liked it enough to recreate it, alter the "recipe" created beer.
Could be total bs but that's what I read once and it stuck.
any way you can get some pictures? or is it too late?Just saw a minivan go by that someone converted to a dually.
Too late. It was a drive by. Had a lift kit in the back to make it work.any way you can get some pictures? or is it too late?

So, we're skipping a math review to try something more advanced today.
We thought we'd play around with a Khan Academy thing, just for fun. The 2nd grade preview is fun for her, but she's making it look really easy.
Also, we're messing around because she doesn't even watch the class videos anymore. It's too easy and she's bored. She listens for a minute, hits pause, then does the worksheet. She looks interested today.
Now, make the story longer: we had a teacher attempt to open up beginning of the year 2nd grade videos for Z. I guess that's not allowed because she might run out of things to do this year or next year.
But, well, that's gonna happen anyway. Also, she's getting cocky.
And you know me - I’ll look at every one of Bart’s lines to see if there’s a variation.
