Well thats good. Finger collections are never complete without the pinky, gotta have something to stick out while drinking tea from a cup! [LOL]

So was it a bad bug bite or a spider bite or no clue?

Spider bite of some type. Apparently I have a flavor that the wildlife appreciates. I wish they would stop, really.










(They don't even have the common courtesy to give me a reach-around!)

[BuffCyclist]

My dog got in a fight with a fence and the fence won. She had a gash that was 3 inches long and had opened about 1 inch wide. 10 stitches later and we had a fussy baby anf a drugged up dog to focus on. Baby was 4 days old.

Meh. We lost heat in our house in the middle of the night when HB Jr was 6 days old... Woke up at 4 am and it was 51* in his bedroom. Then a few weeks later, we were put on pre-evac notice for the Black Forest Fire and we could see the flames coming over the hill toward our house. Most things don't phase me anymore.

Also, perhaps the Badge knows something about this, but people have been having trouble getting 3D EagleViews in the Colorado Springs area for months now. Apparently this is due to ISIS and restrictions on what kind of data can be had from satellites. Just what I heard.

Sorry, I don't know what 3D EagleView is... Google search shows something about mapping golf courses? Is that right?

Maps roof dimensions, including the slopes, so you don't have to manually measure everything. Like this:

61z_tShO-KY

[HoneyBadger]

Looks nifty. Probably uses SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) or something similar.

Either way, from their own brochure, they don't use satellites, they use aerial platforms (planes)

As far as Colorado Springs goes... there are 4 Air Force bases and 1 giant Army base in town. It's a nearly perfect target for terrorists in that regard, but I'm not sure why roof estimator imagery would be restricted.

[Irving]

Well, if you think about it, the general public places insurance adjusters just under terrorists, so it makes sense.

I haven't been told I'm doing it wrong, just a steep learning curve. Take today for example. Forgot to measure something, but the claim was over an hour away. Can't really call the guy to ask if he can hang around for another two hours so I can come back. Fortunately something like that isn't a deal breaker and things can/will still be done correctly in the end. Just frustrating in the very beginning taking four to five times longer to do stuff while I nail down my own personal work flow. It'll come soon enough. Hey Scott.

I quit smoking sometime in May this year. Cold Turkey. I thought about my 3yr old son and how I wanted to be with him for as long as I can and that was enough motivation for me. I picked up some good habits since then like finishing projects and organizing the house more. I guess I've been lucky as I've never had the temptation to smoke and I actually feel sick if I smell cigarette smoke. That's my story anyway.

Now that's an idea i could work with. It's not a labor camp, we have no one under 18 on site. Plus everyone speaks english.

Bonus.

I quit smoking sometime in May this year. Cold Turkey. I thought about my 3yr old son and how I wanted to be with him for as long as I can and that was enough motivation for me. I picked up some good habits since then like finishing projects and organizing the house more. I guess I've been lucky as I've never had the temptation to smoke and I actually feel sick if I smell cigarette smoke. That's my story anyway.

Awesome KS...fantastic reason to get off the smokes for sure.

I'm going strong on day 3....have a patch on, but haven't used any gum today. Going strong I'm tellin' ya...and proud of myself for doing so.

[OtterbatHellcat]

My poor little baby girl is teething and has diaper rash because of it. She's in pretty rough shape but still has a great attitude.

She's gonna be tough like her daddy... :)

[OtterbatHellcat]

Going with Smothered Burritos for choice of lunch this week, got all kinds of goodies to spice those suckers up and make 'em real delicious and stuff. Hell yeah.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Keep it up.

If you need a pep talk, call me.

I'm telling you, I got stories related to my quitting that will give you extra willpower.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Brutal, I believe it for sure, Brother. I'm gonna take you up on that. Thank you, btw....

Some of my friends have told me that now is a bad time for me to quit smoking or reeling in the drinking because of the divorce and financial stuff going on......I would add that if I have the the balls to still command my willpower during extremely stressful times, with lots of triggers happening....... then I am showing superior control over the particular addiction that I'm trying to fight right now.

I'm standing tall, and feeling powerful regarding diss to Marlboro. Fuck those rich execs and the rest of the TEAM making bonuses off my wallet and former addiction. I DID end up chewing a piece of nicorette a few hours ago, but not one since then.

It really is a good feeling, freedom type of feeling.....that is helping me through this. Today was easier than the first two for sure.

[TheBelly]

*waves to Didi*

Didi now has a little brother.

[TheBelly]

His name is Ritter. He's a whopping 12 weeks old and weighs just under 3 pounds.

He is also a miniature dachshund.

Are not your friends when you're trying to quit, any habit. A friend helps you move forward, not hold you back.

[Irving]

Did that email come through OBC?

Shit...messed that up somehow.


Awesome about Ritter.. :D

Kazoo, you and my Friends HERE, are helpful.....that's true stuff.

Irving, I got it, Brother, I sent one back to ya. Hope you got that alright.



"Vacancy" is on SYFY tonight, it's already half way over with, but what a great movie to chill and enjoy my burritos to. It's creepy, but I've always kinda dug the scary movie vibe.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yo, Lobo.

Movie back on, and dinner still being consumed.

[Irving]

Did not receive email.

The windows are closed, you just pissed the ol lady off. She spent 1.5 hrs cleaning them friday. We use to put sewing needles in the spit balls, shoot them at jocks.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey.....

Breakfast next weekend maybe?

[Great-Kazoo]

Hey.....

Breakfast next weekend maybe?

No maybe, let's. Ring my communication device in the after noon.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I dunno Man, the last time I did, at the end of the cal you said "hey, never call me again, okay?".

lol

I'll get with ya man.. :)

Gonna head to bed, I'm SO EXCITED to start a new WORK WEEK. Piss on it, why go to bed, I should just drive to work right now and show my loyalty by being there 6 hours early.

Somehow, I know that I wouldn't be able to leave six hours early though.

Goodnight trollops.

:D

Congrats on the cute new pup, Belly!

[TheBelly]

Congrats on the cute new pup, Belly!


He is quite the handful!

He has all the markings of a double dapple, which the breeder assures us he is not. Having two different color eyes is a big hint. When we had him checked by the vet, they said no problems..... I'm still worried that they may develop over the next year or so.

[Irving]

Nice little rain storm we're being pounded with right now.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yep, rained like a bastard here a few times tonight already, Sabine said it'd be on and off through the night until midnight or some such.

I'm currently faced...challenged really, with a HUGE trigger...dealing with the wife/ex whatever......very frustrating and emotional call/ situation that makes me want to drown myself in alcohol and buy a carton of smokes and say "fuck it...who gives a shit anyways?"

Well, I do, I know you guys do, my buddies at work do, wife/ex does.....if I EVER had a reason to blow this quit, trust me, it's right fucking now.....but I ain't gonna do it, man.

And I ain't gonna get hammered either, fuck it....ain't worth it. I'm making better decisions on a regular basis and sticking with them regardless.



Howdy fellers.

[OtterbatHellcat]

...and sheeit.

[Irving]

Roll the ambulance over one foot until morning, so you can't reach the drinks or smokes.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heya Irving.. :)

That is an excellent idea btw....lol

Extremely effective, I would think.

[Great-Kazoo]

Heya Irving.. :)

That is an excellent idea btw....lol

Extremely effective, I would think.

Only if you can't reach the keys, or cell phone.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey Kazoo...

I think one foot under any tire of the ambulance, I would be pretty much hosed, keys or not. It's all good though, I'm the master of my domain on smoking at this time. (Seinfeld skit which is about something entirely different, and quite funny though)

[OtterbatHellcat]

I have "frozen shit in a box" for dinner, almost done in the microwave. Eat that crap and try and do some lesson material for a while I suppose.

[bogie]

Hiya fellas

[buffalobo]

Stay tough man. Grab a glass of ice water and go on a ten page run. Been a long time since somebody owned a page. [mop]

[buffalobo]

Hiya fellas

Good to see ya bogie, been a while. [AR15][Wave]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Holy shit, it's Bogie.......howdy Brother, how ya doing man?

Howdy Lobo, yeah, nobody has owned a page since BC did it many months back...long time.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Boston Market should have called this meal, Potato-ish Mush and Dog Shit Medallions.

[bogie]

Thanks guys. Good hearing from you both too. Glad you're alive 'n stuff.

[bogie]

Got some big shit done at home, at work, etc. hopefully I'll be getting some free time on my hands.

[bogie]

Also, I tried dr hyman's (go ahead....) 10 day detox. Got me feeling pretty spry and such.

Working into something very difficult here.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey....none of us should bust your balls for doing something healthy for yourself..........but the Breakthrough thing really was pretty damn funny.

Good to see ya 'round Bogie. I hope all is going well with you and the Fam, Man !! We need to go shooting again.. :D

[OtterbatHellcat]

Goodnight fellers.

Here's to a good Tuesday I hope.

For some, others like me had spotty results.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Morning ho's.

[TheBelly]

I just read the entire 'how to know when to put your dog down' thread.

I think I got some dust in my allergies or something.

[TheBelly]

flu shot time.... I got the mist in the nose, rather than the shot in the arm. I really hate needles.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Only ever got a flu shot once, like more than 20 years ago...didn't like it and never bothered with it again. I hardly ever get sick anyways besides a common cold once in a while.

[thvigil11]

Every time I've gotten a flu shot, I got sick as a dog. I'm not talking a little cough and sniffle here. It puts me down for 2 weeks with a high fever. After the 4th time, I quit getting the vaccine. Like you said, I get a cold every now and then, but no flu.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Howdy Vigil.

[thvigil11]

How's the tobacco free going Otterbatcat?

[thvigil11]

Leaving the office and pager goes off. Shit! Gotta go make the donuts.

[mcantar18c]

Evenin gents. What's everybody up to tonight?

[OtterbatHellcat]

How's the tobacco free going Otterbatcat?

I'm good, Man ! Thanks for asking.

[buffalobo]

Hoverines!

[buffalobo]

No flu shot for me.

Wife gets one every year though and still seems to have at least one ugly bout with the flu.

[mcantar18c]

The army forced the flu shot on us every year. I always felt like crap for a few days afterward. I don't plan on getting it ever again

[buffalobo]

Gonna have to pull front tires and see what is causing odd popping sound in brake system on the hoopty.

[buffalobo]

Maybe stop at the old man's house on the way home. That way if need parts he can run me to parts house. Wife is dog sitting in town and truck has trailer attached , both loaded with firewood.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hope you get your truck fixed up without it being spendy, Lobo

I don't get them either, so my next comment is somewhat hypocritical.

"They" say the flu vaccine is a dead vaccine - neutered - so if you get sick, you're not getting THAT flu bug.

IMHO, it lowers your defenses and the others ATTACK!

I think if you're high risk for the one they think is going to be the nasty one, and everyone gets lucky, you're better off getting the vaccine.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yo, Brutal.

[brutal]

yo

[Irving]

Never had a flu shot. Walked home in the soaking cold rain last night. That was a chilly 17 minutes. Going for a run now. Catch everyone later.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Happy running, Irving.

It's cool you do that. Maybe I can tackle you at next years Zombie Run... lol. I'll let ya know when it's scheduled.

;)

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Shitty last 30 minutes dealing with my shit head little nephew in Kansas. 2 1/2 hours of jiu jitsu ahead. Someone's gonna feel a little pain tonight. Sorry in advance.

[ray1970]

Running? Jui Jitsu? Sheesh. Doesn't anyone just drink beer and watch TV anymore?

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Yeah. Sunday.

[HoneyBadger]

I'd rather get the dead virus in the arm than the live virus up the nose! Live virus always actually makes me sick. Dead virus usually makes me a little tired for a day.

Honestly, I haven't messed about much with picasa since google took it and fawked it up.

Get some, HC.

I consider it "anger management".

My phone shows me as on even when I'm not. Just got done with panicked young firefighters, an old lady and a chimney clogged with a dead bird. Fun times and a smoke ejector.

Oh you tall drink o water. You finally balance life and single income out?

[Irving]

That's great idea HB. You have any other good ideas? I'm TERRIBLE at doing sweet things for my wife. I can use all the help I can get.

OBC, the run was pretty good. Shorter than I like, but a better pace than usual. Also, it was the longest I've done with the dog. She couldn't keep up after a while and I had to lift her into the car when we were done. Hell, it was only 2.3 miles.

[HoneyBadger]

Still working on that, but just about breaking even. Next spring I'll have some old low-interest debt paid off and that will free up almost $1000/mo
