Harvard Ignored Warnings About Investments (Just... →
Just got through email. Lots of little treasures hiding in there. Oh, well. At least I’ll be prepped for tomorrow. Make it a great day! :)
Who decided it is now acceptable to wear pajama pants in public? I actually saw a group of shoppers with matching pajamas on Friday. #odd
Packing up the whole family to go haul wood.

Just found out Menards was rationing!! Autumn’s parents got their knock-off snuggies after we were there. That’s a dirty trick!

Looking at clothes today I can see that ugly is definitely back in style.

..And the police are already here.
Line at Menards in Clio wraps around the building into the drive to the yard and back out. No parking left at Menards or Walmart.
$3 Snuggie knock-offs were gone in seconds. Lots of stuff pretty cleaned out after minutes even though they actually had decent quantities.
For some torturous purpose, I am up and shopping with my wife after a mere three hours sleep.

And that’s a wrap. Three dinners and I’m completely stuffed. Left kids at various stops along the way. It’s just me and Autumn tonight. :)
Two down.
One dinner down, two to go.

Autumn: Did someone turn the heat up?
Me: No, I think it warmed up outside.
Autumn: Really? Let's have a barbecue.

Seems like every year I try to get a hair cut Thanksgiving Eve and every year I remember that’s a horrible night to get a hair cut.
TODO: Write twitter app to track #remember and retweet @sender 50 weeks later then annually for when you forget—to make it not happen again
Btw @netpappy how did I end up starting a txt conversation? Crazy, my mind lapsed and reverted back to the pre twitter era
Last day of the work week but busy enough to be the last three.
Yeah I’m not getting anywhere. Try again tomorrow.
Working on school & looking forward to the break.

Almost time for French class. :)
I wonder if I should really drive with this kind of headache.

Try Some Functional Fashion This Winter →
Sitting with Citrix, taking a look at Branch Repeaters, WAN Scalers and Net Scalers.. oh my!
My world is cast in smoky grey this morning; in the foggy illusion lies the fantasy that this is not the world I know.
..And out of the fog—more walkers with fluorescent construction vests. Haha!

MacBook Repair: MacBook Strikes Back
Worked for about 4 minutes then it sounded like a spring breaking loose and something spinning and scratching really bad. Then this happened.
After that nothing from the drive after several reboots. Doesn’t even try to suck in a disc any more. Guess it is #fail after all.

Mac Repair for Computer Science Tonight
This is what we did tonight for computer science. Yeah.. I ripped my (wife’s) MacBook Pro apart with five little spectators. Yes, all five. Sam only got into the screws once. Anyway we all learned about the internals of a MacBook Pro.
This was actually the second time I busted it open. The first time I also took the DVD drive itself apart and attempted to clean it (#fail).
The drive...
Out of gas. Hate that. How are battery powered cars coming along?
