And of course, I just bought a new car. A new car! :bighug: :bighug: :bighug: :bighug: :bighug: Yes!!! I'm excited (and terrified)! It should be delivered around 3/11. 2024 Subaru Impreza RS.

It has happened. The place I work for is going to start enforcing/forcing people to go into office at least 3 days a week. They want to set up Technology Hubs where everyone will have a desk, basically. Now comes the questions I have: For Cyber we have a shorter list then the rest of technology: Cha...

Apparently we had two tornado warnings about 430 am this morning. I don't know. I slept through the sirens and the notification on my phone and my roommates phone. She checked the weather radar and news before deciding whether or not to wake me up. She didn't because it was all north of us, closer t...

I took a nap after work. Went to bed a bit after 5. A few flurries were floating around. Woke up about 7ish (yes, I was really tired, woke up at 430 am this morning). Look outside and there is 2-3 inches on top of the garbage and recycle bins I didn't bring in earlier. I'm thinking they can stay out...

Today has been a fun day. I messed up my knee (was just being my usual graceful self) so going up and down the stairs to the laundry room is pretty much a non-started for now. Well, doesn't work too well when you start to run out of clean clothes. So, I decided I would give one of those laundry serv...

Cars, Trucks, and other forms of personal transportation

I believe I have made a decision. Thanks to the company I work for, the Subaru would be at Dealer Invoice. I'm not sure how much of a discount that is, because it varies from dealer to dealer. And if there is any holdback from the manufacturer. It doesn't matter. It isn't MSRP, and I know the stuff ...

So, even though the report came in after the case was sent for judgement, it will still be considered? Not that I don't think that is a wonderful thing, since it has some pertinent information in it, but it's still something submitted after the trial, so to speak. But, IANAL. Can someone explain it ...

Turned out very tasty. I have to work on my rolling technique and I put too much rice in so it all kind of shot out the sides and end, but really tasty. Just doesn't look at pretty as a pro does it. :)

I am embarking on an adventure. I am going to attempt to make my own sushi rolls. I love veggie sushi (cucumber/carrot or Sweet potato) but it is expensive to order it from the local places. Tasty, but can get pricey. So I've been researching. We already had the rice cooker, so good there. I already...

Just checked the weather for my Dad. Without wind chill factored in, it's -25F/-32C. Add in wind chill factor, it feels like -56F/-49C. Here in SW Ohio, it's currently 26F/-3C with a wind chill of 16F/-9C. That is a 51 degree (F) difference! Ok, so it's a 1200 mile difference, but still. That differ...
