I feel like (e:hodown) would enjoy this style furniture.

Of course, at like 9:30PM on my vacation day yesterday the main db server's hard disk array crashed and required some manual assistance that no one else could help with. Had to go to the data center because the system was totally offline. Don't have access so I had to wait for public safety. A truly annoying night that went till like 1am moving data and sorting out the issue. In the end, everything was fine except for me relaxing on vacation.

These were so freaking delicious. Some peanut and sesame oil combined in a frying pan and heated to frying temp. Then add sliced brussel sprouts. Cook till they slightly carmelize and stir around. Put a lid on for a few minutes so that the heat steams them till they are thr desired crunchiness. Then scoop them into a bowl and add sone parmesaen cheese over the top.

The parade was so fun this year. Maybe it was the bottle of absinthe. I bought last month in anticipation of the green holiday.

At one point (e:libertad,57390) rode around on my shoulders for a bit.

In no particular order. What did (e:yesthatcasey) say to (e:heidi) in this first photo.



What's up with the big police tower this year in the gas station parking lot.


(e:dianne,57391) bought so many yummy breakfast treats. This was only a fraction of em, thanks.


(e:terry) looks so happy in this photo.


Maybe its whatever he is making the naughty face for here



(e:flacidness) and (e:robert) and me.



It was so packed dispite the cold temperature. At least it was sunny compared to today.



Iron workers - always my favorite.





This picture is not of (e:robert). From the back it kind of looks like him minus one hell of a lot of fur. This guy kept falling down until his pants pretty much fell off.

We just got him a new replacement phone and he accidentally humped this one down the chimney 40 ft to its death on St. Patrick's day. Of course it went in the one chimney hole that doesn't come out anywhere. We spent hours creating a contraption made of PVC pipes ducted taped together in order to retrieve it.

The weather was so torturous up on the roof today. Once that was all done there was a server hardware failure crisis at work. Nothing like this vacation I am supposed on.

Hump, hump, hump


Phone falls to its death, no one notices. Then spend a day looking for the phone, at the last minute tried on the roof and looked down the chimney after I saw the photo above.


Long day trying to save baby jessica from the well not knowing if she had survived or not.


She was dead anyways.


Even though we have insurance through AT&T, its $199 for a replacement. But strangely enough Discover card had a purchase protection plan that covers it, at least I think so - will know more tomorrow.
