Injury
They say you should not drink to hide the pain. Is it ok for a puncture wound? The last fish I caught today was a catfish and it’s side fin spine punctured my hand into the knuckle of my pointing finger and hand. It hurts. When the people next to you go “Oh my god, are you alright?” and you go “No, I’m going into shock. I should be ok in a few minutes” Yes, I got shocky. The blood was running down my hand onto the ground. Let’s give a big cheer for Safety Kleen and first aid training. Direct pressure and a napkin took care of the bleeding. And the Boy Scouts. I’m drunk now. I’ve been banging back a pint of Jim Beam. I’m a light weight. The hand hurts and there is some swelling but The feeling came back into the forefinger and I really don’t care about the pain right now. I’m in bed so no problems with me driving. Oh, speaking of driving. There was a cop on the way home waiting for speeders. I wasn’t going too fast 3-5 mph over limit. At the time I could not move my hand to get my wallet. I almost missed a great chance. Offficer “where is the emergency”. Me: “right here sir” Hot water took the bulk of the pain away. I’m drinking so I can sleep. If anything looks really bad tomorrow, I’ll seek medical attention. Boobies make me smile. I an really drunk now. | | Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | | 6:57 pm |
New story idea
The book to called Time Stranded or THe stranded. Premise. Niven said that time travel is impossible because we would muck up time until the device could not be made. The book would be a collections of short stories that prove it. The travels get stuck. 1. The hippy movement lasted longer and got some extra recoginition. The US is not caught up in consumerism but the economy is stagnated. A bunch of students invent a time machine and go back to woodstock. They interfere with someone who is planning a similar concert in California. That guy doesn't help in the concert and the Stones hire Hell's Angels for Altamont. The time travel guys then go back and try to fix it. They give up and we end up in the world we have now. b. It's 1992 Women have full equal rights and discrimination is down. Why Pope John IV decreed in 1947 that the world fufilled the Lord's command to be fruitful and multiply and conquer the earth. To help the women, the pill gets devolped early. One woman has the ability to project her mind into the past. She tries to convince an earlier pope to make a decree. He either dies or does not beleiver her or whatever and screws up history so we are back here. iii. The final story. Intellegent dinosaurs go back in time to witness the deflection of the asteroid. They screw it up and mammals evolve. | | Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 | | 12:34 am |
Weird dream
I had a weird dream last night. It was a post apocalyliptic world and 200 years after the Fall. I was breaking into a sealed room in Washington DC. All there was in the room was shelves of Congressional minutes and a PC. I told the people I was working for that we (the technocrats) would buy the PC but that the minutes were worthless. My question is that true? Would there be anything in Congressional minutes that would be worthwhile to read not including historical research? Discuss. | | Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 | | 6:11 pm |

Miswired brain
I need to buy a 12mm Cone Wrench. All I can think is 12 mm Cone Rifle. Do enough people get the reference or should I 'splain. Current Music: Bare naked Ladies. | | Thursday, March 19th, 2009 | | 4:53 pm |
Pandora: It sucks
I know at least one of you use Pandora for music. Either I'm doing something wrong or Pandora seems to be a piece of shit. It asks me for a song or band to use for a channel. I get the band for the first song, then I keep getting things it thinks I would like. I tell it no and it keep coming up with the most obscure bands I never hear of that sound nothing like what I wanted. So then for the three or four bands I can tolerate, it picks the same song over and over again. I can't tell it not to play that song otherwise it stops picking the band. Does it not have a full library and a band like Rush is not represented? Any help or should I just abandon this project? Current Mood:  annoyedCurrent Music: see above | | Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 | | 9:30 pm |
AHHH
I had hoped to update more but I forgot I hate to write. That's why you guys get phone calls instead of emails. Quick note: I was walking past the school, saw a cute girl with her books walking home, she was a bit top heavy (c cup or so). Then I remembered that this was the intermediate school. Either she got left back a lot or something is going on around here. I do not remember the girls looking like that when I was in 6-8th grades. Second note on breasts: Boobies make me smile. Third note: Got sent to an internet porn site today. I miskeyed thank you. They were advertising big titted housewives. Since I was already there I figured I'd take a look. All the girls were C-D cup ranges. Looking back I can see how some people may consider that big, but I've been spoiled in life where a regular D is on the plus side of average. (you know who you are). Now on to our regularly sheduled program: Work: Is going ok. I m out of exile being lab manager and back to being the instrument guy and overall manager. We (I) am training up a new employee to be the instrument monkey and I'll most likely be the manager/troubleshooter/sales guy. She is also from Tech but graduated with a Masters in 2006. (I'm old) Home: The boy is acting up and I need to find some way to get it through his head that the punishment will get more severe if he doesn't behave. He is actively disobeying. This will stop, one way or the other. The wife is studiing and preparing for the work force, so I'm going to take over household tasks. The reason I didn't before was because I was working and she was home, and the boy is in school. Now I'm going to have to do my share. Projects: Lots of them and no time to do them. I'm going to have to put an org chart up to track things. Only problem is I'm lazy so I'm going to have to build in slack time. Gaming: The Star Wars game has failed to start for the fourth time. There is always something that happens. I may never get this off the ground. Later. | | Saturday, February 14th, 2009 | | 8:12 am |

short story idea
I will most likely not write it so if some else wants to, feel free. Just buy me a beer if it sells.
Premis - humans actally find out everything. one of the science things is that we keep finding a layer below what we think we understand. this time there isn't one. we can now fully decribe everything.
End tag line. There was a loud strange clapping noise. "Well done, it only took 10,000 years this time. Lets see if I can cut that down to 8,000 the next time..." End
------------------------------------------------------ Warmed up here in MN, about 40 these days. Study is going well. Mass Spec is difficult but the instrument is actually simple in design. diagnosis and repair are rough. Later

Star Wars: ReOcurring bad guy
General Freiler of the Imperial Army. Not sure what unit he's in charge of yet. Any ideas? I got the name from a list of the only three Generals that ever pulled off a certain maneuver (the other two were Patton and MacArthur I think) Anyone got a problem with this? | | Monday, January 5th, 2009 | | 11:30 pm |

Ok, I got the bug and need to GM again. I decided on Star Wars. I'll be using the WEG d6 system 'cause as well all know d20 sucks. The time is 10 years after episode 3. The place, the planet Telur. A place so far from any action that Tatooine gets a McDonalds first. So a brief history of the planet. -300,000 years: First Human Expansion STL probes and Biopackages -200,000 years: Genetic engineering advances and human immortality -175,000 years: War of the Gods, Advanced forced evolution for infantry, Use of hardware discouraged, Midichlorines developed to try to create a galactic hive mind. -125,000 years: End of the war, Many planets devastated, Most immortals pass on but some still remain. Dark ages, Space flight lost -75,000 years: Lost bioprobe hits Telur. Fast evolution but no midichlorines -25,000 years: Telur habitable -10,000 years: First human colonization. Colony Fails -2,000 years: Telur recolonized Telur: Shallow seas <300m, mostly islands. Two large continents are on the poles. Most life is amphibious. Top predator is a 200’ centipedes called Worms. All speeders are fitted with subsonic sirens to scare Worms. Works well except it annoys and enrages mating Worms. Worms breed in the same area all the time (due to temp). Very loyal to eggs but when hatched the parents leave. Then another pair move into the territory. Young Worm provide important nutrition to humans on Telur. It is a status symbol not to have to take supplements but eat young worm. Telur very independent. No council seat. Currently in a Feudal system but not calcified. Mostly rivals are economic and status not combat. No standard hierarchy, so counts, earls, etc all together. Planet self sufficient, large asteroid belt provides metals. Almost no export 1-2 ships/year. They trade exotics for otherworld tech.. | | Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 | | 9:30 am |
Remain calm, all is well.
Power is back. There is not serious damage, just lost some perishables. Things back to 80 % normal. | | Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 | | 11:27 pm |
Hi
Long time, no post. I keep hoping to get more stuff here but very busy. For one thing, I found my candidate for president. Like many others, I'm going with one topic to choose. I don't want to loose my personal freedom under a Republican religious rule. I certainly do no want to be jailed and burned at the stake for disagreeing with mommy under a Democrat rule. So I'm going with Bob Barr. Current Mood: accomplishedCurrent Music: not today thank you | | Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 | | 8:42 pm |
Earth day, Save the Planet Collect all Eight
Thanks guys, I forgot about my yearly earth day rant. Fuck the earth. I go green when it saves me money. I bought a car with the best gas efficiency that does the job I need it to not because it’ll save the planet (It won’t) but because I have more green backs to buy plastic miniatures. That goes for my appliances too. Fuck global warming. I think that we’d have to try a lot harder to impact fucking up the global climate than natural cyclic events do. Fuck recycling as slavery. I do not recycle, I worked for a company that made money recycling and I refuse to pay extra for a garbage company to pick up an extra bin that I am forced to clean and separate by my government. That is why we have criminals. When things run out, companies will be bidding to mine the garbage dumps. Good, let them make a few bucks. You want to help conserve, stop consumption. Kill someone. Then eat them. Or at lease bury them in the veggie garden. Thank you and see you next year. | | 8:24 pm |
Something acutally went my way
But only as a postscript,
The car's sparkplugs and wiring was arcing. $400 to fix. On the way over, I must have run over a few nails. I took the car to a tire place and they fixed it for free. Why? Because all their tire repairs are free. Good idea, I will but tires from them next time.
Work, The three hats.
Hat 1 - ISG (Instrument Service Guy). After training, I have to do an inventory so I can do some service next week. I have to do this after normal hours because.
Hat 2 - Auxiliary chemist - I am filling in for a coworker who is on vacation. I'm training two new techs on the stuff I learn the day before. But it is going well. But this is interfering with.
Hat 3 - Lab Services Manager - The job that has the title that is on my business card. Lots of stuff to do and not much time to do it.
We are hiring. Anyone want to come to Houston?
Not work, Slow, tired, not getting much done.
Gaming, Good, played fun games last week. Got an RPG this week, I am getting bored with it so it is time to not sit back and watch the flailing of others and advance the plot. Kinna side thinking about the games I wish to design for Blood and Cardstock. Got some good ideas but need to find some quiet time and get them on paper. The boy, is doing well. As is the wife. Oh, I sent an email to Bill O’Reilly tonight. On the show they were denouncing some videos and pictures that were on the web. Then showed them. I guess they couldn’t have been that bad. 1CMF Happy Birthday Surprisingly, nothing else is bothering me today.

This is part on Sprockets where we blog
Hi, I'm tired. No, more tired than that. Nope, more than that even. I'm at stream of consciousness tired.
First off.
Me wife, she smells like haggis.
The Wife has a barley bag that she heats up and applies for sinus headaches.
Next Today's topic is Music. Because we are a band now.
Not really but I had music on my mind since my iPod went tits up.
As we all know music brings forth memories.
Here is some.
The Cars - Surprisingly I think about a car. 1cmf's vette. With the optional nuclear Rand-McNally map
loud Queen, loud ELP - media_junkie during her grumpy times
Rush : Signals - 8th grade Ethan Frome book report
Other Rush - nothing (surprising)
Queen not loud: The wife for many reasons
CSN Suite: Judy Blue Eye : The wife for other reasons
Next topic: politics
Stop complaining about what a politician says it's going to do while it's campaigning. They all lie. No one ever does anything it ever said it would (and no one ever did anything on 1)
enough for now. I'm going to try and post on a regular basis but I wouldn't bet on it.

Rain and my commute
Let's go to Seattle I say. No says the Wife it's too wet there. There has been rain in houston for over 50 days straight. Not straight rain but hour long downpours every day. Yesterday was so bad that the roads flooded before the water could be drained away. It more than doubled my commute time home as I diverted around the flooded areas. It took me OVER 20 MINUTES to get home. Can you believe that, I got so screwed by the weather. Of course, it stopped raining when I was home so I went into the 88 deg F pool to wind down from the commute. In other news, the dish was installed but I'm not going to relay the tale. not worth the effort. Lets just say I was less than my normal pleasent self and made a bunch of people feel stupid as they could not answer my questions. Tonight I run Paranoia for my new group. This will be the start of weekly gaming I'm going to do. http://prtl.uhcl.edu/portal/page?_pageid=565,588774&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTALPI am doing Paranoia as a campaign so less deaths. I'm shooting for about 25% fatality per session. As compared to 300-500% for Con games. To train the players, tonight will be a standard con type game. Go find the mutant and kill him. BUT, this is going to be like the Matrix. After the adventure, they will be pulled out of the simulation and debriefed on what went wrong and why and what they will do to correct the problem. Next week will be Macho Women with Guns most likely. I'm going to do System of the Month for a while. Try out my shelf of RPGs and pare down to a reasonable number.
