Im taking suggestions on music for christmas in MP.

Im all out of hot cocoa.

No donations necessary, we've been living with this for 13 years.

I'm sorry, but I just find this humorous:

If you want to change that 'possible' to 'I'm certain that..', see what nate silver says.

Hrm, near 100 percent chance of snow. Possible 12" by Saturday. Winter storm warning all day Friday.

As much as I love hot cocoa, I think the wheels might have just come off AO-Fit.

NTO & Merel:

Bridger Bowl is looking for mountain hosts. Thought this might be of interest to you.

yummmm...hot cocoa

New rule: you can have as much hot cocoa as you want provided you dont drink coffee. Days without coffee: 1. Cups of hot cocoa: 3.

Jan Brewer left a message on our answering machine. She should have called sooner, though I'm not sure it would have made a difference. I had no idea Arizona cared so much about Montana's interests.

Home at last. It was an interesting day -- sirens going off at Hobby as I was putting my shoes back on (rather a slow response from the TSA workers to keep everyone in the area). Three hours in Atlanta airport is way too long. It gives the airline time to make four gate changes for your flight. At least the last three were on the same concourse. The flight to Peoria was delayed, but we ended up arriving only about half an hour later than scheduled.
It was a fun week in Houston, good to be home too though.

Hurdle #1: cleared

current snow depth: 0'0"

When a boot sector fails around here, your feet get snow on them.

Bj. First wiki all the terms Nto gave you...

bj - make sure the cables/RAM/etc are seated correctly.

or it's a possible hard drive failure...

Maybe try hooking the hard drive up to a different computer as a "secondary" drive. (Possible the boot sector has failed.) If that works, yank the data you need off the hard drive quick.

Sandy Mom is at the airport likely starting to board her flight. It was an excellent visit, ending with a fun afternoon with Payton's Brownie troop Bayou Bend gardens then watched two super softball games.

Lauren put on a great show for the last softball game I'll see for this season. She even took part in all three outs for one inning.
I got to see Payton play too this afternoon. She's looking good too.

what did i cause a huge pipe to break? or did my brother brake one and i got the blame? hmm...

Calling all computer super agents!

I was receiving a "PXE - E61 : Media Test Failure, Check Cable" error that was stopping my PC from booting. In an obviously futile attempt to be somewhat self-reliant, I went on-line and found instances where ALLEGEDLY disabling the network boot on the BIOS menu had apparently solved this problem for people. So I followed those instructions (at least I think I did) and, from a positive standpoint, I am no longer receiving the PXE error. Unfortunately, I now only have a small blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Additionally at this juncture, I cannot access the BIOS screen upon rebooting to undo what I done did. I tried pulling the battery out of the CMOS and have succeeding in making it 2004 but little else.

Once the problem is resolved, if possible, we will go through a rigorous analysis of the poor choices I've made in this endeavor. Until then, any help is appreciated...

Love thinking about the cinnamon roll dough rising in the kitchen!

I don't know, "they" can spin and lie about anything these
days.

I really don't foresee a clear, healthy complexion ever falling out of favor with the American voting public.

uhhh, that first one may come back to haunt them in any planned or unforeseen presidential runs.

Turns out the 5th graders are doing lock out tag out so nice work V.

I won captain!

also Tracy is a good resource on bear safety. This is a very important topic, I know you will do well.

I really love that Sandy dressed up as a hurricane. How creative! Dylan did not dress up, but he does thoroughly enjoy his new harness and wagon. This weekend we practice pulling stuff.

I only have to give a short speech so no.

Not a year old and already a mop.

we are more on the chapters like: 'Don't ride your bike while eating a snow cone'.

congratulations LO - that is a very important job. Let me know if you need any training on Lock-Out-Tag out, cleared space around panels, fire extinguishers, hoist safety etc. Also, I think Rita may have a presentation on confined space entry. Does any of this help?
