Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[Adam]

I tried, but got distracted by the boob and "kitty cat" and something reminiscent of meatspin dot com.

I see that you are channeling your namesake.

 

[Alex2507]

I got some food in me. That means it's time for drugs ... and more laying down. Yeah, being in the union sucks.

I hope that the surgery went well, Alex. How's the knee doing?

Huh?! Surgery? Everything ok?

 

[Alex2507]

Arthroscopy on the left knee. Yeah, it good for the first 24. No pain, no swelling, lots of laying about and eating ... it's funny how not taking perks is giving me the munchies. This is all I ever wanted back when I was in high school. I must be a fool to be so easily amused. Oh yeah, and the girl has to get me whatever I want. I'm like Jabba the Hut.

Please tell me that there's a gold bikini.

And that you aren't the one wearing it...

 

[Alex2507]

As it turns out I have very nice skin on my leg where the nurse shaved the hair off.

It's soft too.

Soft as scrotum skin as they say. Not sure who they are, or where they reside, but that's what they say.

Anybody notice how I left that toe poking out for Greg?

I thought that was for me. I'm still going to pretend that it was.

How could we not? It's the only thing in focus. Like you were trying to get us to look at it. Subtle

In other boring news I signed up for an account on custommade.com. Added a project, ie speaker cabinets, for the new kit I got. I only asked for basically someone to cut me a kit and put the appropriate cutouts and recesses in and a quote. Curious to see if I get any responses and what prices they would come with.

They need a creepy ewww emoticon to cover that.

No kidding. I just got a quote back from one of the people who responded to my ad. One wants me to call to discuss in more detail. The other, after a little back and forth about specifics, came back with $625 + Shipping. Granted he's doing the cutouts, recesses, shallow dadoes, and some other small stuff to make assembly as easy as quick as possible. Not sold on the price, but having trouble finding an alternative.

The large cuts are easy and I can get those done. It's the driver cutouts and recesses that I'm having trouble figuring out how to get done without someone else doing them for me.

I may have missed it, but why can't you use your school's wood shop?

Well, there are a few reasons why I hesitate to use the wood shop at school right now. That tech area is geared more towards carpentry rather that cabinet building so they might be missing some stuff like a router with circle guide that I would need for the driver cutouts. I also don't know if I'd even be allowed to use the equipment without taking a basic safety course first.

Most importantly and probably the point I should have brought up first is that one of the other tech area teachers committed suicide over spring break. The two guys were fairly close, having taught in rooms right next to each other for the past 13 or so years. I feel a little awkward asking for a favor when the funeral was on Friday.

I think I'd rather be out a few hundred than be "that" guy. I'm not really sure how to handle the situation and if asking would be too soon, or something welcome to kinda take his mind off things. This being my first year, I don't know anyone well enough to make that kind of a call.

 

[Alex2507]

F^%&in' hell bro. Sorry to hear that.

 

[Alex2507]

I turned all my black socks right side out and paired them up. Then I figured out what was wrong with my drawers. Now it's time to elevate my knee. Bye.

I noticed immediately...

Getting old sucks....I have been having steroid injections in my spine and a lot of PT the past 4 months. Bike racing starts next Saturday...boy that's gonna hurt.

Get that knee better and play it out as long as possible.
