I find that boxing in a fight only lasts maybe a minute at tops before it becomes a wrestling match.

I need new glasses though.

The hangover was worse than bruises and knots I had the next morning.

"Hello, Mister computer."

Next two days off, but dentist appointment tomorrow.

"Does it hurt?"

"You're scraping a steel pick across my gums!!?!"

I didn't say anything about "boxing," I have very little experience with boxing. One does tend to anticipate the bigger hits coming from his own left, though.

First academic research conference presentation in a few hours. Two different papers at two different conferences. Ought to be interesitng.

Well, you probably mean non-destructive failure but it's still a good excuse to watch a fun clip!

yeah, it's not gonna explode out the roof of the house... and damn i love that clip.

Fortunately it was caught relatively early. Internal leaking that was spilling out the top. It's been shut down properly. I toweled up the standing water and have a fan on the floor to dry it.

woah ha ha, Watch it again!

I watched it several times. and it looks like we'll be getting a new water heater, hopefully this week.

New water heater in, and contacted a counselor for a session hopefully next week. Cross your fingers?

My bro-in-law's neuroma is re-growing. He won't say how much or how fast, but... MRI results came in last week and he's already scheduled for radiation today. This was a predictable result - when the initial surgery was done, he had the option of having it "debulked" while preserving the auditory nerve and avoiding irreparable facial paralysis with the idea that radiation may be necessary down the road; or removing it completely at the cost of the auditory nerve and all left-side facial mobility above the mandible. He chose the former, because if the auditory nerve was saved there is always the possibility of a future cochlear implant to restore hearing.

Sorry to hear of you bro-in-laws troubles Mikey, best wishes.

Anyway, all the hours I spent playing "The Oregon Trail" paid off, I had to drive through a river that'd burst it's banks.

Hmm. Over in the States, we build roads and bridges.
