8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 9

[captaincrash]

Lisa - OMG - your even better than me - you might be on track to catch Capt Crash's daily shot quota!

I'm so far behind! The story of my life!

ONE GB a day is a lot! Of course... you may be shooting larger files then me too. Shooting say 10MB with a RAW+JPEG pairing would take up a lot of space per shot. I don't shoot RAW yet.... as my computers are not very high powered and just opening a RAW image takes significantly longer for me.

On average for the last cruise I shot about 300-800 frames a day - depending on what we did that day.

My Chevron station has been robbed 7 times in 2 years all at gun point. Everyone of them were caught and prosecuted except there is still 1 out there. We didn't get a good pic of him. Had a big hoody on and something covering his face. I hate thieves.

I was at Pizza Hut twice in NO when we were robbed...once was a joke but we were ready to break the window to get out of the dining room. They were robbed again on a day I was suppose to cover for someone but they said they didn't need me. That time they were locked in the walkin.

HEE HEE HEE -

Want to see what I caught my diva doing?

I came out of the bathroom after taking my shower and this is what I found her doing......

on DH's side of the bed of course!

She knows better than to try it on my side!

This is a laugh riot!! Talk about your pampered pouch..........I have not doubt that is exactly what our dog looks like the second we leave for work

She's a Sophomore. Let's see....school dance team, 6:00 am to 7:15 when school starts, three mornings a week. Troupe at the studio 3 nights a week, teaching two nights a week and another dance class at a different studio one night a week. Perform at the school ball games mostly on Friday nights, competitions on Saturdays and Sundays.
She doesn't have her license yet, so that means either me or Dad drive her. Once in a while she goes with a friend.
It really gets bad when DS is also playing a sport.

You, too, will soon learn the fine art of being in two or three places at the same time.

WOW!!! that is crazy!!! Right now I allow them to do soccer...on the same team with one practice during the week and a saturday am game. Baseball is too late & too many practices during the week. I would let DD take one class of dance if she wanted to & DS to do swim team if he loses his nerves but that is it for right now. They need to be in their rooms unwinding at 7:30.

Funny, I never figured you for a chick flick kinda guy. Sure, I'll send you some cake....and some tissues too

I'm married. Sometimes, in order to get what I want, I must play the game and watch what she wants.

 

[magiroux]

I am sooooo excited I was able to get Genesis tickets for their show 9/27 at Giants Stadium WOOHOO!!!

WOOOHOOO. That will be a great show

 

[lbgraves]

Okay...now someone has something to use against me for blackmail. DO NOT tell my DH that I might be able to have a professional help me buy jewelry! Awesome! Not that I need the help...I'm one of those who tends to zero in automatically on the most expensive item in the case, without even realizing it.

LOL! You could be dangerous! I tend to zero in on the deals...even my wedding dress turned out to be on sale. I hadn't looked at the prices...just picked out what I liked. It was the second dress I tried on. I was afraid to see the tag then saw that it was on sale. Of course that still took up half of our budget. That budget was quickly realized to be unrealistic. We went over 1K slightly.

 

[O'BWV]

Ok, I have a little time to ketchup on the fluff since I last checked in, so good evening, everyone.

PERFECT!!

I actually got Jimmy to watch it. He liked it (although he would never publicly admit it)

 

[yargrnhoj]

when my company did that, UAL honored the status of all of the road warriers and transfered the exec platinum and did double miles..

They did match my status, but not the upgrades / miles in my AA account. And I had just re-upped my Admiral's Club membership and now have to fly United and that's in a different terminal at O'Hare.

 

[yargrnhoj]

Literally... LOL!

I am glad there was someone who got the binary geek joke.

 

[magiroux]

Duck tours.. we have one of those in Wis..

but a chocolate meet.. I am so there.. have chocolate.. I'll travel..

The Boston one is pretty cool....like a mini history lesson, with lots of quack quacks thrown in

 

[magiroux]

Brendan and I decided we are going to go to DL and area for a few days before the cruise! Actually I should say he ahs decided and I am happily agreeing! I'm off in Summer..he is not....so it was really his choice! Yippeee!!! I get to go to Disneyland!!!


Chrissie

Yippee . I have summers off too, so we wil be heading out early

 

[yargrnhoj]

OK I hardly ever pull for Dook but I did tonight then they go and lose to State.

Why would ANYONE cheer for Dook -- in any sport? Do you hate NC State THAT much? Of course, I hate all the Carolina schools...

 

[magiroux]

Duck Tours - sounds like fun, but how can you undestand what they're saying???? Seriously - either going to RFC or doing the FiRE & iCE/Duck Tour thing is fine with me. Never been to either. I'll take the Amtrak eek down to North Station and grab the subway from there to anywhere. Course, chocolate is ALWAYS good. No need to ask about that, ok?

I don't think I've ever had trouble hearing them. I will look into it (for a summer meet?) and send out PM's to New England DISers, and anyone else who is interested with info and get feedback .

Daryl Hannah and Julia Roberts are easy on the eyes, so that helps.

The Viterbi algorithm. Walsh codes. Markov chains. Make it stop. I come to the DIS to FORGET about my day job. Not to hear four-letter words like C-D-M-A.

But did you know actress Hedy Lamarr was co-inventor of spread spectrum communications which is a key part of modern wireless communications?

And the frequency hopping technology she invented was deployed in Navy torpedoes.

 

[dahuffy]

All I see is math blah, blah, blah

You could be speaking Slobovian and I'd understand about as much

 

[lbgraves]

Have you priced spices lately? I think nutmeg is more expensive than LSD.

So are you saying that we should put nutmeg on our Cartegena shopping list?

 

[lbgraves]

My company encourages us to wear logowear. Probably for the same reason.

DON'T DO THAT!!!​
