My wife bought a protective glass for her new iPad. It is just like what I have on our iPhones, only lots bigger. Anyway this is what is on the back of the package. I highlighted two of them that are my favorite. I am not sure what precisely they mean. Pretty funny. Of course "Anti-smuoge evolution, Clean rpomrtly" is not real clear.

Back when I was first getting into IT we had a couple manuals that had the saying "This page left blank intently!"

We are dry here and Grant county has a burn ban currently. Saturday looking out the back window I saw some black smoke starting to rise so we walked up the hill through the cornfield to see what it was and it was a barn fire that had just started. It was gone before either fire department made it there. a few minutes later.

Got the oil changed in the lawn tractor and the deck cleaned and lubed and the blades sharpened. Need new blades, these are coming apart on the tips for some reason. Battery is charged in the Cobra. Need some oil for it. The place we took the 911 to is a Brad Penn dealer and has 20-50 in stock so I will probably just get it from him next week when we see him. Now I just need tires on it. Probably going with Mickey Thompson for now since I don't think I will make a track day to Road America or Blackhawk Farms with it and I don't think I will exceed 130mph if I get to an AX.

Jim, that stinks.

It would be nice to do "work" on your own schedule.

I highly recommend it. I have lots of projects to keep me busy around the house. I'll tackle one this afternoon and the larger project I'll start tomorrow morning.

Ut-oh, they announced another opt-out at work. $5000 to quit your job.

On a Different note...

We had a baseball team called the Redhawks. Now they are called the Dodgers. Isn't there already a Dodgers?

They've always been a minor league team. When they were called the 89ers, then the Redhawks. Just because they were bought by the Dodger's doesn't mean they have to call them the Dodgers also.

Same Color, same wheels as mine.



Just because it's 5 years newer, has half the miles, and is a TurboS instead of an S it is worth 4 times more?



Think the aluminum trim makes mine look better.

That are called whatever the team that owns them wants.

I just watched the movie Furious 7. It makes the movie Expendables 3 look like documentary from Nova on PBS. They can defy physics at will.

Just keep saying to yourself..."It's only a movie."

Thinks it's kind of funny in movie chase scenes when they go sliding around a corner. You can tell which take made the cut by how many skid marks you see going around the corner. Pretty impressive if it's only one or two.

Yea, it is pretty funny. Lots of digital work. I actually liked the movie. It was orders of magnitude better than the last Mad Max movie.
