A very narrowly avoided whack over the head from the butt of my dart rifle, after knocking it over whilst on the floor cleaning my room, decluttering, and reaching for some CDs that had gotten into a very inaccessible place.

Lestat - Whatever happened about that building you came across with all the good stuff you were going to liberate?  It was going to be remodeled or torn down or some such?  Did you manage to salvage anything?

Torn down now, regrettably before I could salvage the motherload. Although I did go in at night and bag some saleable scrap. Wish I'd got there in time to get those fire extinguishers though, I could really use something other than a dry powder one, specifically, I was hunting for something suitable for dealing with reactive metal fires, although not sure as one would be present in an old bar, save by chance. Metal fires are a royal fuck to deal with. I'd like even a small opportunity to salvage any hypothetical accidents involting plat cat, and for my hoped-for cyclotron and/or LINAC once I get somwhere to PUT one that can house the needed rad shielding, I'll not be able to dispense with a proper metal fire extinguisher, as for preparing uranium-based targets I could make do with the lathe to do the actual physical fabrication of such, as its not the nicest of metals to deal with, for the same reason they use it in preference to tungsten in high density kinetic energy penetrator antitank rounds-its pyrophoric, and turnings or finely divided metal can ignite in the air just like plat cat in a hydrogenation, or raney nickel. And whilst not a particular radiological hazard as uranium 238 (depleted uranium, for what I had in mind for a cyclotron irradiation project, its quite specifically, and indeed, isotopically pure, if I can locate some, depleted uranium I want). Its only weakly radioactive, but its still a chemical toxicant, mainly targeting kidneys.

My boss wanted to send me home, saying I would be completely stiff because of the bruising soon. I replied that that was even more reason to keep my muscles moving. I think it helped a lot indeed.

A colleague was offering me a massage. He's the hugging type.
The other offered to throw me off the stairs to get the right side of my body balanced with the left side.

  Your workplace sounds fun.  Of course, everyone wants to hug the cow!    :redneck:

Hugs and violence. What's there not to like? :P

A lovely book on the theory of conducting a murder trial.  A Christmas present for PA.  (Yes, we ARE weird.)

240V vintage heater that looks really nice, but I'll probably scrap since I have no way to test.
2 lighted deer, with a bunch of spare lights, will see if I can get them working...I need some cheap free outside dec.
1 Shepards hook for the garden.
1 big brass hanging light fixture.
1 rug

  Today I found that I am an attention whore re: my drawings, and they aren't even that good yet.  :tard:

My brother hooks up his 220 machines on construction sites with really big alligator clips directly to the panel it makes me a bit nervous though

No he takes the cover off the panel and hooks up to the bus bars I have seen a lot of people do it but it makes me nervous .  I prefer just bring my generator if I need 220 on a construction site and its not available

She doesn't look fat enough to be American. :nerdy: She's probably a Brit; they rarely speak proper English. :autism:

That's either :arrr: or :facepalm2: of him, depending on whether he starts a fire. I am not :viking: enough to do something like that.

IQ: Do you have any appliances (washer, dryer, refrigerator, etc.) that run on 240 V? Could you hook it to one of those outlets?
