UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. “Oh, *that* kind of grave robbing? Lead on, Chuck!” 😈

  2. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    What? I say “What”?

  3. Heh, this is going to be fun. Tradition says you need to drink at least one bottle of MD 20/20 before going to the graveyard.

  4. At first I was thinking of something like a potato battery … nope!

  5. If you take a dead “D” cell battery, take out the carbon rod from the center, cut a strip of galvanized sheet metal about an inch (2.7 centimeters), take a small jar for canning, suspend the rod in the center and the strip on the side, pour in drain cleaner, you’ll get 1.2 to 1.4 volts DC. 10 of those connected to an inverter will give you 120 VAC at 0.5 amps. Do NOT keep them in the same area you live in however, the fumes will burn your lungs. Just something I learned in chem class in high school. You’d have to top-up the jars every few days, however. Any type of acid will work, even salt water. I think the teacher was a survivalist…

  6. Scheffler, Hovland and Conners Share the Lead at P.G.A. Championship
    Jordan Spieth, who needs a victory at Oak Hill to complete the career Grand Slam, and Justin Thomas, who won last year’s tournament, just made the cut at five over.

Sick? Oh, it’ll show me sick…

Now, yours truly suffers from a shopping list of chronic ailments, not the least of which is being allergic to varying degrees to just about everything in the plant kingdom. You can imagine how I’ve been doing in the wake of the recent rains in California. Yes, it rained enough that most of the state is finally out of the years-long drought we were in, which is great! And the hills are green and the poppy fields are a-bloomin’, and… oy, that’s a nightmare for my sinuses. But hey, then along comes a real virus and it does the whole “hold my beer” thing as it goes to frickin’ town on your mind and body. That was me this whole past week, including having to go work WonderCon in the middle of it… normally something I’d consider a working vacation, but this time around it was more just work and feeling like warmed-over crap at the times I wasn’t working. It’s Tuesday now and I’m glad Dawn and I still decided to take our scheduled post-Con break even though we had to beg off last week with the unscheduled one. Thank heavens for you folks being a supportive and patient audience, especially considering the cliff hangers that sometimes result. I’ve returned to my day job but I’m still a coughing and occasionally dizzy mess. But better. Better than last week at least when I felt so awful that this blog was reduced to a single metaphor and a goat video. Dang if this hasn’t put my allergies in perspective, though. I’m honestly a little amazed I managed 3 days of driving, load-in/load-out, and working that convention floor, though Dawn kept making me go back to the hotel to rest. Ever try to find a simple bowl of chicken soup in a hotel complex? Mental note for next time to bring my own. But anyhow here we are, communicating and still planning to get back on track for next week. I should be finally on the tail end of this nasty little viral freight train, so see you then!
