More danger!

Why do I need a girlfriend (or a cat) when my iPods all get all huffy if I don’t pay attention to them every single day? There’s no way I’m getting through a shuffle of 580 songs because if it sits for too long (longer than a day) it just resets itself.


So, nobody asked, but here’s the story with yesterday’s picture. My friend Greg cut down a lot of his trees to put in a pasture for horses. I think horses are stupid and stay away from them, but his daughter likes them. So far, he’s cut down five acres of trees, put up a $60,000 barn (or something like that) and it was time to seed the pasture. Anyone with any sense would rent, borrow, or buy a seed broadcaster. But not us. The picture shows what we did. We tied his leaf blower to the back of his pickup truck, drilled a hole in the blower tube, and taped a funnel to it. I stood in the back of the pickup with four 25lb bags of seeds, pouring the seeds into the funnel with a cup as he drove around in circles. Luckily, I didn’t fall out.

Besides mowing the lawn and finishing my parent’s taxes, today I tried to see if I could start an electrical fire. I finished a PIC programmer and it requires 18V at probably around 70mA. I found a power supply that puts out 18V at 7A. That’s 100 times more than required. It also means that if I had screwed up the wiring somehow, I’d have some nice sparks to watch. You’ll also notice that the power supply is open has wires with “DANGER” labels on them.

Oh, and I also got a call to try speed dating on Tuesday. My sister thinks I’ll probably piss every one of the women off, and probably some of the men as well. I told her I’d see, since a certain unnamed person is still talking to me, I thought I’d lost my touch. She thinks that a certain unnamed person is a female white version of me, so that’s why we seem to get along. HAH.

Well, we’ll see if I can still make women’s eyes glaze over in under a minute. I used to be good at that.
