Son2 asked for a watch w/ hands.

Son2 asked for a watch "that it takes me a while to look at... you know, with hands."

I had to remove 39mm of expanda-band to fit his wrist.

3D Ear Infection Book

I wish I wasn't at the Ear/Nose/Throat Doc, but this is still a neat book.

Don't leave cans in cars on hot days.

How to say it: "Your kiss is like sunshine!"
How not to say it: "Your lip balm reminds me of sunscreen..."

Should have asked for help w/ the gutters.

Dagnabbit

Never good when the workday includes the need to change pants.

I saw the Jefferson Memorial arrest video and was flabbergasted.  But you know, the Park Service press release seems pretty reasonable.  http://www.nps.gov/news/release.htm?id=1162

CDs

Just packed away every CD I own.  I have jewel cases but no disc for The Cure Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Eddie Coker Wow, and Modest Mouse Good News...  For five years I thought I was missing Paul Anka Rock Swings but he was in the Modest Mouse case.  This means I hadn't opened the MM in 5 years.

I had this project 2/3rds complete about 4 years ago, but that drive crashed.

But honestly, I haven't opened most of my CDs in a long time.  When I do have time to listen to musak, it is via Sirius Radio or Grooveshark or a smattering of MP3s.

Why I feel like an episode of Hoarders

It is a pain to move.  It is a pain to put everything in storage because the new place is smaller than the old place.  It is a pain move bit-by-bit in a Ford Ranger.

But most of all, it is a pain to realize you are just a step away from an episode of Hoarders.

PICTURED: a toy cannon I bought when I was 6, a pewter rattlesnake on an Inner Space Cavern rock, an employee of the month award from Stream/MSN, a Krew of Tucks Friar doll/throw, a wooden yo-yo, a life-sized resin monkey skull, a wind-up Mickey Mouse, an OFFICIAL Lionel Train watch, a dollar-store watch the Cub Scouts gave me to thank me for my time, and TWO souvenir Star Wars watches that probably came in a happy meal.

ozone

Fixed an electric train tonight and now I smell that wonderful smell of oil and ozone.

Solitaire

I should not play solitaire at all.  But when I do play, I use Vegas Scoring - cumulative, so that I can put a dollar amount on the time I have wasted.

Earthquake detectors

Hey, my wife put the bobblehead earthquake detectors back on the bathroom window sill!

TOASTATION

How is this not a challenge to see what it takes to make contents ignite?

Ticks

Saw copies of this sign all over Ft A.P. Hill. I need some for the property in Lowell. After our first exploration, we pulled 8 ticks off family members.

Tribe 93

There seem to be more fraternal orders up here.

Not Vegan Friendly

Found this shirt in a West Virginia Wal-Mart. Couldn't resist.

Super Uncle Sam

Don't tell Homeland Security, but Ranger almost successfully grabbed Uncle Sam's superhero hot pants at the Little Forest Hills July 4th parade.
