  1. I’m pulling a Cuban and buying one of those Ryobi 18V inverters today. I have several of those batteries, and that could seriously come in handy in a jam, much less camping, etc.
  2. That would be less than a lateral move with all the extra travel.
  3. That’s a total code brown moment. Fuselage strain damage, I’m guessing?
  4. Looks like Brisket has competition for #1 fanboy for attractive femaile world leaders. No competition for Susanna Hoffs, however...
  5. Alternatively... Wife was 12 days past due date. Started pitocin, baby's heart rate would spike any time she laid on her left side, so that was banned. Epidural maybe 7 or 8 hours later couldn't give full coverage because she could lay on that side. 12 hours in, she was only at 4cm so they decided to go C-section (FYI - C-section with a hot spot is apparently not pleasant). turns out the cord was around his neck. The got him over to the side table, no cry. Team member had an ET tube in his hand when he finally cried out. Probably wasn't 10 seconds, but felt like an hour. First APGAR was low single digits. It probably didn't help that the fucker was 9 pounds 15 ounces. Healthy as a horse! Lifted his head up off my shoulder and looked my direction the first night! My point is every time is different. Buckle up, enjoy the moments you can and treat Momma like the queen she is today!
  6. One of these things is not like the other. Almost looks like one of them had a cousin in from out of town and she tagged along.
  7. Don't jinx them, they are inducing this morning! Best wishes!
  8. I dread opening this thread every time it gets updated. I'm gruntled to see it for more celebration of good news. Carry on, and keep kicking it's ass, Bruin!
  9. Seconded. This guy is every bit as entertaining as the semi-toothless yelling weather dude after your teams beats UTn. It's must watch.
  10. Looks bad, but that orange county indicates 30% of households. So, like seven houses.
  11. Can't bite the hand that feeds him, especially before he gets the F-16's.
  12. This should be the image that shames every Western country into taking the handcuffs off for any military target in Russia. I've got no problem with the US saying you can't retaliate by hitting one of their children's hospitals, but for a viable strategic target you may fire at will.
  13. Cut the Vawls some slack. They don't get that many opportunities to gloat. So what if there is a degree or two of separation. I think they know this may be the last time the get to gloat at the "other" UT for a long, long time.
  14. Is he/she pointing here, or did you just catch him/her mid-stride?
  15. This is 1000% correct. it explains a lot of their reactions.

    Getting old sucks

    Sounds like you were an appropriate candidate for back surgery. Best wishes. Those that thought they were in agony, only to wake up in ACTUAL agony, they are screwed.
  17. This being the first response is the most Surly thing ever. Shut it down.
  18. My 17 year old daughter is busy being a 17 year old daughter. Pour me another one, please! (In all fairness, it could be tons worse. She's a fantastic kid, but you know, girls gotta girl every once in a while! And when they do, Old Fashioneds for everybody!)
  19. This thread has SERIOUS potential.
  20. There is absolutely no logical reason for this thread to be one of my favorites on Surly, but here we are. Keep up the good work. We are all counting on you.

    Getting old sucks

    62 = early stage old. Spoken as a 55 year old. Shit just keeps getting worse.
