Spent the afternoon cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom. Seems that I never get beyond those two rooms but I did a pretty thorough job.

Relatives came over and we have the unusual pleasure of entertaining guests at our house–I mean people stayed at our house for a lengthy time without being scared away! And we only had 2 carpenter ants show up.

The afternoon and evening were quite pleasurable.

I’m still developing an ulcer over lack of income. I’m in the uncomfortable situation of having a potential contract that has to be exclusive but being faced with the possibility that it may fall through so I have to market myself right up to the point that I accept the contract.

Metal using velcro like properties to bond stronger with other metals

Like joining two pieces of Velcro, TWI says it can bond a metal to a composite simply by pressing them together. The carbon fibres in the composite wrap tightly around the protrusions, creating a firm bond without any kind of glue.
Cool picture

Wahoo! I’ve gotten of my rear - too little too late as usual - and am making phone calls to drive contracts to me.

Fantastic! I’ve caught up electronically a bit. That feels good. Now to return to some brief cleaning then I’ll make some phone calls.

Take your pictures while you can May 14, 2004 9:43 am

Congress targets cell phone camera peeping Toms Ok. Posting pictures without permission should not be allowed. Good down to earth morals should keep people from taking pictures say in a locker room or bathroom. I should not be prevented from taking calls in a locker room or bathroom. Too much of my life depends on receiving text messages and phone calls. If some urgent matter comes up and I’m taking 30-45 minutes in the locker room to enjoy a shower or steam room or sauna I should still be able to receive my calls despite the little camera on the phone. If someone wants to take pictures in the locker room they darn well will sneak camera in.

Once again, our fantastic society makes life hellish by threating the symptoms and not the problem.

Terrorists Attack Cape Fear Museum with 150 Year Old Ordnance

…a contractor working on the water front brought in a Civil War canon ball as a donation to the museum. A good gesture, but what he didn’t know is that the canon ball had a round of shot with the fuse still intact.

Mexican Air Force pilots film unidentified objects

“This is historic news,” Maussan told reporters. “Hundreds of videos (of UFOs) exist, but none had the backing of the armed forces of any country. … The armed forces don’t perpetuate frauds.”
In other news, Mexican Airforce Makes Decision to Disallow Pilots From Taking that ‘Relaxing Shot of Tequillia’ Just Before Take-off Due to ‘Abuse Issues’ and Non-regulation of ‘Shot Size’ as well as ‘Finding Empty Bottles in Fighter Jets’.

Steak and BJ Day - March 14th I stumbled across this and realized we’d missed an important holiday this year. So ladies, and guys, mark your calendars for March 14th 2005 so you don’t miss it next year.

This link not safe for work. Contains sexual content.

Video games get raunchy May 14, 2004 9:15 am

Animated sex? Naked women? Streakers? They’re all in this year’s crop of upcoming titles.

You know.. Even when games were nothing more than text they were riddled with sex. And if they weren’t, I recall being able to construe them into being sexual. Hormonal teens will make it happen one way or another. Today’s games are just better quality sex!

The father-in-law dropped by and we took apart one of his phones to try to get a working one again. A coke got spilled on the mother-in-law’s phone and it fizzled. That phone was from Verizon (the crappiest phone company on the planet. Do NOT use Verizon!). They have an identical phone from Sprint (no longer have Spring service). Model numbers are identical! Anyhow, Verizon won’t flash the Sprint phone and those phones don’t use sim cards so they are stuck with a working phone but cannot get the service.

They are going to end up buying a new phone and I bet their contract gets extended to at least 2006. Phone companies are getting to be about as crooked as credit card companies.

Amy is a riot. She goes to a chair and slaps the seat with her hand and says “Sit Daddi Sit”

Later she comes to me and I think she is say ‘look dada a ball’ then she drops from her hand a blank ant and says “Look dada a bug!” She is quite proud of herself but I jump and scare her. Oops. I told her “good job” and we high fived.
