We go over to a friend's house - he has an amazing setup and lives out north of town on an acreage with a huuuuuuuuge meadow. Perfect viewing!

Do you know what they have?

 

[ImJustKCClone]

No...sorry. All I remember is that it's taller than me.

Just to make sure this thread stays on the cat/volleyball track her goes. Last night, at volleyball practice, the girls came up with a team name, The Rainbow Carrots.

This telescope is taller than you.

This telescope is taller than you.

I knew that would get me in trouble as soon as I posted it...but seriously, his telescope is about five & a half feet long...

I resisted that urge.

I bet he says it's 10 feet long...

That's what he tells all the ladies.

why men can't be trusted.

I resisted that urge.

See what kind of trouble you got me into????????

Carrie Underwood's song Dirty Laundry is so great to run to. And listen to. I enjoy.

Seems you are trying to hint you are out running but you are at work.

I dug out my old running orthotics last night. This is either a sign of seriousness or outright desperation. They were skillfully handcrafted* by Ms. Brownlee decades ago at one of the Twin Cities sports med clinics.




* My running orthotics are older than CG. How do I know this? Old running spreadsheets. Spreadsheets, man.

Those old MS-DOS based spreadsheets were so untrustworthy. It sometimes felt like you had to save your work after every keystroke.

The wife and I are meeting up with a couple of friends and doing an escape room tomorrow night. I've been wanting to check one out for awhile. My wife asked if I was sure I wanted to be locked in a room with her and this other couple for an hour given their strong personalities (and me being really laid back).

I'm now considering bringing a weapon.

Bring a bomb and threaten that if they don't let you out you'll blow yourself up. That'll get you out of there.

Lotus 1-2-3 was the original running spread. Still opens in Excel, less all of the macro menu stuff I programmed into it way back.

I would never have guessed that a 30 year old Lotus spreadsheet would still open in a current version of Excel. I guess Jeff Goldblum uploading a virus to the mother ship's computer in Independence Day was realistic.

Soooo...you buy your 16 year old daughter an I-phone, and she loses it at school. You now have to drop what you are doing and go to the school to make sure the I-phone gets found. Yeah...the school is going to love that.

Documentaries usually are.

I almost forgot how absolutely consumed Nebraska people are with Husker football. I want Oregon to win so badly this weekend. If not the local sports radio will be filled with people saying "They better start respecting us now"
