Oh, all right, here i am.

Just got back from a week in Franklin NC (rented a cabin with some friends). Did the typical tourist stuff, gem mined, photographed waterfalls, and ate too much.

You know you're old when...
[this was right on debs - every one applies]

I agree, dining tables are meant to be used for other purposes, like assembling PCs.
Yikes, it seems i built this here PC back in 2010 (not on the kitchen table since it's buried under the grand kids books).
I just may have to think about getting around to building another, since it's now 5 generations out of date.
Ah, always something else to do.

ok curious here.. i know that mythbusters proved helium in footballs doesn't make them go as far..

i am expecting that partially deflating a ball would make it fly worse and have less mass so would not have the same energy so deflation of footballs would make them go shorter distance.

I won't be seeing you guys for a while. I'm going to be shutting down for the summer due to the heat forcing my A/C to cycle more often.

Have a safe, healthy, and fun summer!

Here's a couple of 'moaners' for the road:
