You're close. I get 20% off. Plus whatever the tag special is that day (there are different coloured tags).

(sighing) Fair enough.

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

It's good to have one of those. In the back of the property at work there's a small retention pond. Sit there alone everyday and stare at it. Great inspirations have come from that pond. I call it the pond of brilliant ideas. :laugh:

Nice! The Epiphanous Pond. Those aren't fish swimming around...those are ideas:nerdy:

I was actually surprised at how peaceful this garden was. Theres also this old stone Catholic church next door that I sat in to meditate one day. It was very quiet and peaceful, and smelled of wooden pews and candles. Unfortunately its not always open when I have my break.

This was yesterday but a Galileo thermometer was donated to the store and I scored it for $8. I love the look of it.

Well...today I was looking for meditation spots. I visited a Cathedral near me, and you know what? It was huge and fancy, and had a section for prayer- away from tours etc - but it just didn't feel conducive to meditation. I left with some reservation...I might return. The other place is this garden near me, and craft center--- they had no places to lock a bike, and it was filled with activities...not wanting to lug my bike around and find who I am meant to speak to (to ask if its okay if i visit the garden), I simply left.. I may still visit later this evening by walking. If no one is there, i'll just settle by the river somewhere.

Anyone know anything about satellite radio?

I've never had one, my MIL does, but it came with her new car.

I found an old Stargate 2 receiver awhile back and decided to test it before listing it on Ebay. It's active...like all 900+ channels active.

I'm assuming it was either a lifetime, which I guess they had prior to 2007?...or they never send the kill code to it when someone upgraded their receiver.

Yep, me neither. Pulled up a few more "lifetime subscription" that were sold on Ebay...same model or one year up (around $200). I just mounted the antenna better and secured it. We'll see what happens.

Okay went out again tonight, although I wasn't going to.

Found this mess of poles...pending further evaluation tomorrow.



...and 3 random boxes that turned out to be mostly paperwork trash, seashells for the garden, and some half melted candles...with one exception. An old super 8 film reel labeled for adults only in the bottom of the last box.

The projectors seems to be in great shape. An excellent find.
