  1. other than the mess the boots make going into the trailer, its great :)

    If you have a Harbor tool and Freight store - look for one of those "inexpensive" greenhouses they offer. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-ft-x-8-ft-greenhouse-47712.html

    Work that around the door of the trailer as a mud room.

    Some folks up the road from us have been doing a remodel on their house, since that wicked hailstorm in October. They did that with their trailer. But they had to anchor it down because of the high winds that follow in November.

  2. Ugh - I think the longest I have ever been was two days. The first two I just melted snow on the stove top and had a "Vegas bath". The third day I drove to town and used the shower at a local pool. Fourth day the problem was fixed.

    Winteralls for working in the house.

    If you do not have some of those awsome as bright as a nuclear blast work lights - get some. They heat up a room much nicer than a portable radiator and you can see where the drywall needs to be resanded. :P

  3. OK, now I really feel like a dinosaur -- that sentence made no sense to me at all! Well, "NLG safety pin" I understood.

    Don R.

    I'll give it a whirl.

    It was a pre 5.4 software bird, so it did not have defensive systems yet. I know that the crewchief turned the soft panel (the switch that made the software work?) and did not check the NLG safety pin on the hardpanel....

  4. re: question "Peace and love man. All the world needs is peace and love. "

    I have a shirt that says "I am the War Machine"

  5. Wonder what would happen if you showed them you like the poke and grope?

    They don't like that or they just dont have an appreciation for someone trying to make a difficult situation light.

    This comes from a friend who worked for TSA last summer. Her main reason for quitting the job? People are just disgusting in their personal habits and hygiene. Her second reason for quitting the job? Even though she was acting professional (and this gal also grew up a military brat, so she took that serious) it was a good portion of airline passengers that treat the people working in the airport the same way they treat fast food workers. :/

  6. This kind of news seems to get swept under the rug. It is not to often that a video game developer receives some sort of recognition, beyond "corrupting the minds of children".

    Honoring service members from the six branches of the military, Activision pledged to find 1,000 jobs for veterans and gave $1 million to The Call Of Duty Endowment, which helps soldiers transition to civilian life by providing them with job training and placement. Service members were among the first to play "Call Of Duty: Black Ops" and participated in a multiplayer tournament where they raised $1 million for The Call Of Duty Endowment.

    "Call Of Duty is one of the biggest of all entertainment franchises that uniquely pays tribute to the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who defend our nation and our freedom around the world," said Bobby Kotick, CEO, Activision Blizzard. "It is especially popular among service members at home and abroad, which is why we are honored to have this event highlight the critical issue of veterans unemployment and make our own contributions to the cause. A few years ago, after hearing about the magnitude of this problem, I established The Call Of Duty Endowment with the goal of securing thousands of jobs for the men and women who have so ably served our country and protected our freedom."

    A non-profit organization launched in November 2009, The Call Of Duty Endowment seeks to help soldiers transition to civilian careers after their military service. The endowment focuses its resources on assisting organizations that provide job placement and training to veterans, as well as engaging the media and public forums to raise awareness about the issue. Since its inception, The Call Of Duty Endowment has already distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants and scholarships to various organizations and schools across the country addressing the employment challenges of veterans.

    MCPO Maurice Wilson (USN-Ret.), who is an Advisory Board member to The Call Of Duty Endowment, and on hand for the event, expressed his gratitude to Activision for their commitment to helping veterans, "It's clear from the faces on these service members here tonight that there are quite a few people serving in the military who are huge fans of Call Of Duty. To see Activision looking out for them and our veterans, who are struggling to find work, is an extraordinary example of how the private sector can give back to these men and women for their service to our country."

    About The Call Of Duty Endowment: The Call Of Duty Endowment is a non-profit, public benefit corporation created by Activision Blizzard. The organization seeks to help soldiers transitioning to civilian life find work and establish careers and to assist organizations that provide job placement and training.
