Bring the Man a Sandwich

Getting Stronger Every Year

A couple of old men were hanging out at the bar, talking about whatever old men talk about. 

"You know," said John, "When I was 30 and got an erection, I couldn't bend it if my life depended on me.  When I hit 40, I was able to bend it about 10 degrees if I really put some muscle to it.  Then at 50, I was able to bend it 20 degrees without breaking a sweat and now that I'm going to be 60, I can almost bend it in half with just one hand."

"So what," say Jack.  "What are you getting at?"

"Well," says John.  "I was just wondering how much stronger I'm gonna get!"

Where's the Yard Sale?

Hey there.  I'm fortunate enough that I work close to my mother in law's place that I can just drive over there for lunch and have a home cooked meal instead of eating at the office or eating out.  Today, I decided that I would walk to the corner store to get some ice cream for everyone.  Then, I stumbled upon this gem.

"So what?  It's just an upside down sign, Metallman.", you say?  WRONG!  It turns out my mother in law was having a yard sale.  THE Yard sale that the sign is supposed to draw potential buyers too.  The funny part is....  It's pointing the RIGHT WAY!!!  lol  Later.

Dealing with Stupidity

Hey there. I need to hang one of these on my office door.

Going to our First Dodger Game

Hey there. I'm not very big on baseball. Don't get me wrong, if someone were to come along and say, let's play baseball, I'd probably say sure and go hang out with the guys. But watching the sport is a completely different issue. I just find it a little slow. There's not much in movement from the players and, in my opinion, there's too much time in between pitches.

Now, 2 days ago, I was awarded 3 tickets to a Los Angeles Dodger game. My brother and I were talking about taking my son to a game and this seemed to be perfect for that occasion, because really... who gives out 3 tickets? That's an odd number if you ask me. Anyways, he's up for it and my boy is excited about going so we'll be heading out to that later this evening.

I'm hoping that a live experience is different than the one sitting in front of the TV. My brother claims that it's better, but then again, he's a fan. I just figure that's it would be some great bonding time with my son and bro. The 3 of us out to see a game. And just because I don't like something doesn't mean my boy won't like it. We try not to shield them of stuff we don't like. If they wanna listen to certain music, so be it. If they want to watch certain sports, so be it. As parents we support and we expose the kids to our style of stuff and if they like it, great, if not, that's great too. As long as they get to have the experiences that they enjoy, I'm all for it. Later!

I Need to Attach a Front Panel to a Computer

Hey there. I like to fix computers as a hobby and I've been fortunate to hve been able to fix any machine that has been brought to my attention. The other night, a friend needed 3 machines to be fixed. 2 laptops and a desktop computer. The laptops will be fine, once I am done with them... Its the desktop that I'm a little concerned about.

The desktop looks a little odd. It's missing a front panel and when I opened it to see what's going on, someone cut the front panel wires and rigged it with a completely different set of wires (different colored ones too) and I was surprised to see something so half assed. I have an extra computer that I keep for spare parts and since the desktop needs new wiring, I'm glad I have the spare computer to take them from. The mission now is not only to get the machine on, but also to attach a whole new front panel to it. I've never done that before so this will be m first with this issue. I don't want to say, "I couldn't fix it" so I'm gonna do by best to get it going. Wish me luck! Later!
