Whats everyone done today?

[Dustin Cook]

Hi All.

New thread. :)

Today, I took a break and went for a drive to see a friend. He has an HP
laptop with a busted power connector (yea, the solder points broke right
off the mainboard); took about.. 30-45 minutes or so to tear it down, heat
the soldering pencil, resolder it and do a continuity check. All is good
now.

So whats everyone else been doing today?

Kinda pointless to say this, as it really has nothing to do with the
thread I created.. but, I'm not going anyplace and I have no interest in
starting over with you, Jenn. I don't need associates like you around me.

I'm not going anyplace, Jenn. This is usenet, and this is but one
newsgroup out of thousands. You can hijack threads demanding an apology
from me all you like. You will not get one, except for an apology for
referring to you as xian scum. I still consider you to be one of many,
self righteous hypocrites on usenet. Don't take it too personal, theres
hundreds of thousands of them; and I have no doubt many far worse than
yourself.

Went fishing. Had a good day, caught 8 cats, but being the "good guy" I am
(just kidding, my name isn't Dave) did the catch & release thing. Came home,
took a nap, only to be woke up about 15 minutes into it by a call from my
oldest daughter to wish me a happy fathers day. Watched a Blockbuster DVD,
"It's Complicated", and been trying to play catch-up on the newsgroup posts.
That's almost as much fun as going to a three ring circus! [g]

Perhaps not for you "performers", but, for this reader, the points have been
covered, and it's getting into that redundancy stage. I doubt that I could
possibly miss much now by ignoring that other thread in the future.

Short of an apology from Dave that isn't coming, you wouldn't be missing

I'm Josef Fritzl, and No Windows was my idea.

That was the wrong smiley ......... it should have been :(

I got a rosette (like a dog or horse!) saying "Number 1 Dad"

It was on top of a litre bottle of Bell's from TESCO which I bought
myself!

The £16 offer ends on 26 June, btw!

Thanks for letting me know. This bottle of no-name Scotch cost me £14.98.
Maybe I should have made the effort and gone to Tesco on Friday evening.

I've got this Socialist thing about cards for sto0pid occasions which I

LOL, despite rushing to get the cap back on with every refill, I think

Do you think the bottle of port and vodkas mixed with blood orange juice

I'm sitting here drinking a 'livener' at present, preparing to gird my
loins and replace the shower unit in the bathroom which packed up on
Saturday (while John was having a shower LOL- covered in suds). I went
out earlier and bought a new one- same make, same model. Makes for easy
replacement.

Ha! BTDT. The new model had changed the distance between fixing holes on
the shower rail by about half an inch! Grrr!

I simply cut half an inch off the rail so that I didn't have to drill
new fixing holes in the tiles!

Hope it goes like a dream for you!

a call from my
oldest daughter to wish me a happy fathers day

I only knew it was Father's Day because someone here mentioned
it here earlier. Other than that, I haven't heard the phrase at
all.

My other daughter left a card on my door while we were out
fishing, and then texted me a greeting a bit later in the day. Of
course, the better half gave me a card too! [g]

I've got this Socialist thing about cards for sto0pid occasions which I
made my kids aware of at a very early age. I don't even get
birthday cards (except from me dear ol' mum) and that's fine by
me.

Post by RonNNN
FWIW, I'll wish the rest of your day to go good for you. ;')

Cheers, mate. Day's well and truly over, though. It's approaching 2 in
the morning, and I'm pretty drunk, but I don't care because I'm
off work until Wednesday.
The world is wunnerfulllll.
:-)

sounds like you're celebrating fathers day anyway! the world can
be wunnerfullll sometimes

But not today. Today I have a headache. Can't think why.

You let too much air into that bottle?

LOL, despite rushing to get the cap back on with every refill, I think
you may be right.
Do you think the bottle of port and vodkas mixed with blood orange
juice I downed before starting on the whisky might have a bearing on
the situation?

Damn.. So the scotch was what then, an appetizer? :)

Main course. Yum!

I really did down everything I told you yesterday. Finished the port
first, then the vodka and blood orange juice. All I had left was half a
litre of Scotch, and I'd developed somewhat of a thirst, so the Scotch
got it right in the neck.

Did I mention that i can be a gluttonous bastard occasionally?

The hangover comes from dehydration, Jenn. Taking a nap won't make them go
away. Drinking more alcohol to thin your blood and add fluids back will
help.

There are degrees of drunkenness, my dear. On a scale of one to ten, I
was at a nine point five last night. I crawled upstairs to bed. Had my
score been a full ten, I would have slept on the living room floor, being
unable to crawl to the door.

So whats everyone else been doing today?

Went fishing. Had a good day, caught 8 cats, but being the "good guy"
I am (just kidding, my name isn't Dave) did the catch & release thing.
Came home, took a nap, only to be woke up about 15 minutes into it by
a call from my oldest daughter to wish me a happy fathers day. Watched
a Blockbuster DVD, "It's Complicated", and been trying to play
catch-up on the newsgroup posts. That's almost as much fun as going to
a three ring circus! [g]

Speaking of the blockbuster movie, is it any good? I'm thinking of renting
the Johnny Depp Alice in Wonderland.. but would be interested in others
opinions who have seen it.

Excellent movie. Starts up a bit slow and then it becomes very interesting and tends
to grip you to stay in your seat. Amazing effects and a great storyline

Watched Crazy Heart last night and enjoyed it.

One night about a year ago, my mate and I watched 'The Bucket List'
together (with some beers and a bottle of Scotch). At the end we both
looked at each other and laughed, because we had both become quite teary-
eyed. The Jack Nicholson character was so like him, and he stated that
the Morgan Freeman character was me to a tee. Which added to the humour,
as my mate is Jamaican, and as he says, I'm not white, I'm pink.

We gave each other a man-hug that night.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Bucket List. The performances were great, the

Another movie, that's not new, that I really enjoyed was "In Bruges". I
would recommend it.

Oh yes. Nevertheless I think that one must be prepared to suspend
disbelief when one watches any dramatic work, otherwise one is in danger
of missing the meaning. Well, to a point.

Came home, took a nap, only to be woke up about 15 minutes into it by
a call from my oldest daughter to wish me a happy fathers day. Watched
a Blockbuster DVD, "It's Complicated", and been trying to play
catch-up on the newsgroup posts. That's almost as much fun as going to

Went fishing. Had a good day, caught 8 cats, but being the "good guy"
I am (just kidding, my name isn't Dave) did the catch & release
thing. Came home, took a nap, only to be woke up about 15 minutes
into it by a call from my oldest daughter to wish me a happy fathers
day. Watched a Blockbuster DVD, "It's Complicated", and been trying
to play catch-up on the newsgroup posts. That's almost as much fun

Such is life, Dave. I hope your day went well, and I'll bet it did.
We went to the Wineries here in Temecula and bought a couple of cases.
My Daughter did the same, so we're wined up for a day or so... :')
The BBQ at my Daughters home was great! Carne asada with all the usual
stuffings, a couple of bottles of wine, laughing and wrestling on the
sofa, kissing and hugging, then back to our home.
Holidays are just too short, especially Fathers Day.

Ever new day is a bonus Eagle!

Especially when one can spend it with one's offspring!

It sounds as if you had a great time. I don't think Aardy is into
"kissing and hugging" but I think it would do him and all in his family
the world of good if he experimented with it! Might you have a view on
that?

I had to Google to discover what you meant regarding Carne Asada - found
this delicious sounding recipe!

Sounds fantastic - hope yours was as good!

Na, Aardy has His own way of expressing himself. We all know He is full

Fuck, it can really put some sto0pid self-pitying thoughts into one's
head, can't it. How do they fit them all into one cask with all that
liquid? I used to drink a lot of Paul Masson wine (Californian). That and
Chianti and Valpolicella turned me on to red wine. I really like any
California red. Or anything alcoholic, come to think of it. :-)

Yea, I'm discovering limitations in my newsclient as a result of the very

Today, I took a break and went for a drive to see a friend. He has an HP
laptop with a busted power connector (yea, the solder points broke right
off the mainboard); took about.. 30-45 minutes or so to tear it down,
heat the soldering pencil, resolder it and do a continuity check. All is
good now.
So whats everyone else been doing today?

I've been busy getting drunk. Honestly. I'm worried about standing up in
case I fall over.

You're more prone to heat stroke than some others Jenn. If you keep

I try to stay cool and drink lots of water... I feel like I'm fine and then
3 hours after I've been outside I get this killer of a headache.. makes me
want to rip my head off it hurts so bad, but if I take some ibuprofen when I
feel it coming on, it goes away. Sometimes, I'll wake up in the middle of
the night with it and have to stumble into the other room hunting down some
ibuprofen.. take that.. then put a pillow over my head and squeeze til it
stops hurting.

The headache doesn't make sense because I don't get it while I'm actually
out in the heat. I get it hours later.

Never having removed a LT mobo, I speak from inexperience. I would
think that the board components themselves would be wave soldered -- so
one could not go very 'far' with LT mobo repairs.

But since the power connxn is way out yonder on the edge (does that mean
past the wave work?) then it might be more straightforward.

Here's someone re-doing a bad Dell solder joint/point for a power

My cable router/wireless access point (owned by Time Warner Cable) died
yesterday. So I got on my motorcycle and went down to trade it in for a
good one. Today, after work, I set it up. I have two laptops (wireless)
and a network storage device (wired) on my LAN.

Today was my first day back to work after a badly needed vacation - just
happens that my vacation coincided with "Motorcycle Week" an annual
event here in New Hampshire. In addition to having motorcyclists from
all over converging on Weirs Beach, many folks shine up their antique
and/or classic automobiles - everywhere you go, it's like an auto show.

"Boarder Jumpers" - good times - met some very interesting characters.

It's a real eye-opener when you discover that just about everybody has a
computer, and just about nobody knows how to properly secure it. Most
don't even know that connections can be made from 'out there'.

gameboy the year it came out. hehe, the original grey shade lcd screen
with no backlight and battery hunger from hell.)

Hmmm, I grew up mostly in the "pinball with flippers" era.

When in California, I participated in a "Yuma Run" and ended up at
"Boarder Jumpers" - good times - met some very interesting
characters.

What sort of bike do you ride?

Now, it's a Suzuki

Used to ride a Yamaha 650 (had several of them) before that a Kawasaki
750 mach iv (triple - dangerously kick-ass two stroker) and a Suzuki 250
twin (dangerously under powered two stroke 3-cycle, I got it going 80
mph one time). Oh a Husqvarna 250 one lunger dirt bike too.
