Mobile Crunch
Category: life
I have been so freakin busy that I haven't had a chance to post. It's the kind of busy where my hands are to dirty to touch the phone. No, not the kind of busy you are thinking. I have been cleaning cat hair for days but I think I am generally not alergic to the house anymore. Well at least not floor one and two.

Here are some random pics from mobile living.

There is a bees nest in my closet.
image

Charlotee has been missing since the rain.
image

This Chinese money is as worthless as monopoly money, should I just throw it out?
image

My Office is great.
image

The squirrels love to eat the pears, I should make pear jelly for humans.
image

image

(e:terry) hates birds but this one got his attention.
image

When I was at the pet store the other day in the rain, there was a man with sorts on and a rain coat. From the back he looked like a flasher. It was hard to get a good pic.
image

I left the hot tub open and the worms found it. It was gross

I am kinda fond of Charlotte; I hope she is ok! The link that Uncut provided states that those spiders have babies and then die.

Now, for those bees.. I so did not see those!eek!

i stongly feel that the person who wants it more should have it. i have some chinese money left over from my trip, so it doesnt mean that much to me, so if you'd really like it peter you can have it, i bet ladycroft would like it too. maybe you guys can split it?
metalpeter - 08/15/06 20:22
Since She Asked for it first it is hers. I was going to ask for it because I collect all kinds of things. It isn't worthless if you or anyone you know goes to china. I admit I have no idea how much it translates into as american money but there may be some Chinesse stores around here who might take it. Or I'm sure you could take it to an exchange place or save it untill the next time you or someone goes to Canada and exchange it there.
imk2 - 08/15/06 20:07
i want that chinese money!
jenks - 08/15/06 18:57
I'm not especially scared of spiders- but that one looks like it's about 6" long. Please tell me it isn't.
uncutsaniflush - 08/15/06 17:36
I think Charlotte is a black and yellow garden spider

More House
Category: housing
We worked on the house so much more last night. (e:leetee) and (e:theecarey) helped us out a bunch with dusting. My mother cleaned the refrigerator. It looks like it is new. I actually took out a toilet, repaired it and put it back. It turns out it wa sthe toilet that was leaking onto the floor and causing the daage in the bathroom. I never thought I would do able to do it, but luckily my phone and the internet gave me some on the spot tips that made it all work.

Yesterday was the night of the strange bugs. (e:theecarey) and I found a preying mantis at home depot and brought it home. They are the coolest bugs. I think she got a pic of it on her phone. Then when we got home there was this crazy huge spider. A type of which I had never seen before.

We met our new neighbors and hung out with them for the evening. Their house is fancetastic and they see like pretty cool people. On the other side of them are some gay republicans. Weird.
metalpeter - 08/13/06 10:58
It is weird no matter where carey goes spiders seem to follow her, kidding of course but that is one cool looking spider. In some cultures they belive spiders are good luck.
jason - 08/12/06 18:29
Ha - thats right Paul - you three are going to be Log Cabin Republicans sooner or later! Well, maybe not.
paul - 08/12/06 12:12
Yup, an you know what the new ones are poop color brown. The old one that was in there was white with shit stains all over it. At one point I was wiping the toilettes butt with toilette paper. I thought it was pretty funny.
kookcity2000 - 08/12/06 11:54
Paul did you put a new wax gasket on the toilet?

Curing Cancer One Pixel at a Time
Category: programming
I was working on an adjustable web meaurement tool for a little bit today. I have decided to move onto flash now that javascript is boring me again. First drag the ends of the red line to what you consider one unit, of whatever you measurement standard is, then hit tare. Fro then on whereever you drag the red line to it give you that distance in the nuber of units you tared to. One unit is represented by the yellow line.

Sadly, no one ever used this at Roswell. Sometimes, I really wish I could work more with the science end of things.
tinypliny - 10/11/08 20:12
Wow, this is the coolest measurement tool I have seen in a while!! I wish I had like 1/millionth of the programming skills you have. I could write plugins for my reference manager :::link::: then. :D

Working on 24 Linwood
Category: housing
It has already been a long journey working on the house We have accomplished so much this week. Unfortunately, finish my thesis was not one of the things, which leaves me with this weekend. Also the weekend I have to move during.

Here I am cleaning the chamber under the stairs. The furnace cleaners wanted to charge me $400 to clean that chamber but luckily I fit in the vent so I went down there myself and lceaned it.

image

I tore up the bathroom floor which was tacky lineloeum that was molding underneath. It was super moldy and disgusting. Thank god I tore it up before it got worse.

image

image

image

image

It was huge process. I had only a crobar, a scredriver and an axe. A full size axe. I must have lookied really scary with a full size qaxe and my gas mask.

image

image

image

image

Under it was the original wood floor that the rest of the central hall ( notice I said central hall instead of foyer, (e:matthew) ) has.

image

image

I love this doorknob but had a hard itme getting a good picture because my hands were shaking from axing and ripping up the bathroom floor.

image

image

image

Here is on of the fireplaces

ladycroft - 08/14/06 14:21
we have that exact doorknob on our front door!
robin - 08/12/06 02:22
I wish y'alled pay me 15 bucks an hour to help you fix up your new house. It's a hell of a lot nicer than the one I'm working on in astoria.
olemanrunin - 08/11/06 21:11
pretty funny...

remodeling is challenging, fun -
i find the tools make the job...
the right tool for the task makes the work sooo much easier...
tools are cool, using them is even better

good luck
metalpeter - 08/11/06 19:02
Nice pictures. Not sure if it the lighting or that it is all wood or that you mentioned an axe with a gas mask but the place looks like it would be a great place to film a Horor movie. I completely mean that in a positive way. To bad you didn't get a picture with the axe and Mask the would be verry cool, nice fire place.
