Complaint: The alabaster cement on my porch has been dealt with by slogging to the car and carving an entry through the snow enough to open the door and get the snow shovel out of the back seat. I have access to/from my porch now but the 10 inches of white cake icing that fell on the driveway has compressed first to 4 inches of alabaster cement and then semi-melted into 2 inches of gray glazed granite the whole length of the driveway.
Non-complaint: Still no need to go anywhere for the time being. HOWEVER, I see no chance for the ice to melt away in the coming week.
'Nother non-complaint: It's Easter candy time and I've taken advantage of the sale on chocolate bunnies. Mmmm, Dove solid dark chocolate bunnies. I couldn't resist and performed the obligatory ear-eating ritual first.
Yet another non-complaint: I've discovered that NetFlix has added another season's episodes of Versailles to their offerings. Sort of a historical "Game of Thrones". or perhaps more accurately "How the one-percenters behave when forced to live in the same building." Poison anyone lately?
Complaint: Not out here for another 2 weeks
Based on the serial number I suspect they are 3DL only and predate Iray. If not, you could return them
I so empathise with you about the time it takes for ice and solid snow to melt. Postie managed to make it to my front door to post a letter, but I am no closer to dealing with the solid stuf to make it possible for me to actualy step outside my door as 1) I don't have a snow shovel 2) the garden spade is in the shed on the side of the patio that is also blocked by a solid snow drift and 3 Solid snow takes a lot longer to go away than it took to arrive.
Not sure
oh do you want me to test them with iray or 3DL?
..3DL. pretty much stopped working with Iray because of the ludicrous prices for GPU cards and long render times on the CPU so I'm searching for good 3DL shaders
Another snow storm coming Wednesday into Thursday morning.

Damn double post. The forum has been acting up on me lately. Slow, signing me out for no reason, general weirdness.

That's how whipped cream is dne right, not with 5lbs of sugar in it! :-)
I prefer whipped cream to poi, anyway. ;-P
Sweet. Son't overcook your data!! :-O
Ah, the happy delight of bunny ear eating! Very time-honored tradition, like biting the head off a Peep.
Nothing like the simple pleasures in life... :-p
I'm sure it's no consolation, but it's not just you... :-|
...feeling kind of bleah the last couple days. Went to the market to get some ginger beer and something with rice for dinner that would be a bit easy to digest. Found these Chinese dinner kits in the freezer dept on sale (about as expensive as a pound of raw chicken and makes two dinners worth). Now normally I don't go for convenience foods but just didn't feel like putting a lot of effort into cooking anything today . Decided on the General Tso (used the oven method instead of the MW). Took about 20 min, served it over my home cooked sticky rice. and it was surprisingly very tasty and not greasy at all as it was baked rather than fried.
Seems to have also settled the the gut grumbles down I've been experiencing since yesterday.
dunno, is this an actual image of Jupiter?
wary of artist interprettion/representation images
New image from NASA’s Jupiter mission @NASAJuno This image captures the swirling cloud formations in #Jupiter’s terminator – the region where day meets night.
#JunoCam
been meaning to try gingerbeer
i like ginger and i like beer, gingerbeer sounds like a win/win
the random sign outs. luv those.
sure, i visit the forum just to sign out.
ai develope twisted sense of humors
Ugh, gut grumbles are the worst! Glad things are better, and esy food sounds like a good idea...
What I'm super hating on is 'silent signouts' - used to it was easy to tell if the forum just screwed me. Now, it'll look like I'm stillsigned in until I try to reply or new post, then the page refreshes and it shows me as signed out.
This forum software was written by a tech school dropout! Whatever happened to human factors engineers? I guess none of 'em live in Utah... :-|
59f and brightly sunny outside. Window open about a 1/2 inch to let in fresh air. Still looking to bake on Saturday, no wet stuff predicted until Sunday.I have someone interested in my Raspberry Pi kit, if it sells it'll be a grocery run before the weekend. Maybe some ground pork or chicken thighs! Certainly more soup.
Should be mild and nice all week, hopefully I can try getting a few mid-day walks in!
Mmmm... Raspberry Pi... Technolicious...
(You have to say that like Homer Simpson, while drooling copious amounts of slobber)
I'm not really down with the slobber thing...
complaint - i'se gonna be snowed in with no cake or yogurt shakes.
Snow and rain today and tomorrow but freezing temperatures for next whole week.
Non-complaint: I just turned on the radio and was captured by the piece being played. I was familiar with it but couldn't remember the name. Lots of fun melodies building to a grand finish. Ah, must be Tchaikovsky I thought. A quick check on the radio station's web site, and sure enough it was Tchaikovsky's "Capriccio Italien".
Damn, he wrote so many fun pieces.

Major mood changes every few minutes. Check out 0:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:30*, 8:00, 9:00*, 10:00, 12:00, finale begins about 13:00
* <probably familiar>
Complaint: Upon checking I discovered that I don't have this piece in my CD library.
Yea! another item to add to my Amazon wish list. Yeah, yeah, I know CD's are old technology, but so am I. When I pass to the great concert hall in the sky I want to leave someone a ton of CDs. It's far more valuable than leaving them a cloud full of vaporware. At least when the next war sends everybody back to the stone age, someone will be able to burn the CD notes for a little bit of heat and can make table legs out of the CDs and knives from the CD cases.
Complaint: I've finally succumbed to illness. Everyone in my house has been sick for the past 3 weeks and now it's finally got me. A bad cough for the past few days and now the sneezing and runny nose. This sucks.
Non Complaint: At least I don't have a fever!
No fever yet? Just wait.
And remember: "Time heals all wells." 
(Or at least I think that was the expression. Or was it "Time yields all wounds"? 
)
And vases and dishes from my vinyl collection
...there are both hard and non alcoholic varieties. My favourite hard Ginger Beer is Fentimans my favourite NA ones are Fever Tree (imported from the UK) and Cock & Bull both with a nice sharp "bite" to them.
...ah those little silver discs with liner notes you need a jeweler's loupe to read.
I still love records. Nice big slipcases, sometimes duo fold, with easy to read notes even for my tired old eyes. Yeah you had to get up every 20 - 25 min or so to pickup the tonearm flip the record over but a small annoyance for the lovely warm more natural sound. Never never used one of those auto changers, bad for the records (and turntables with that feature are usually cheaply made). Next to open reel tapes, the best method for archiving for a record collection is Hi-Fi VCR tapes as you can use the entire tape width and the rotating heads produce a fast tape to head transient speed which allows for much improved fidelity over cassettes. I wonder if I can even find one as well as a bunch of blank unused tapes any more these days.
Both are true. Plus, no good deed goes unpunished!
