I’m not entirely sure what this iconography means.

Parkerdays 2009

Did the annual trip, had the annual funnelcakes, received the annual grousing that Mom and Dad didn’t buy enough tickets for the rides (Get a job!), one boy had the annual tummyache and 11pm barfing session.

China Set Acceleration Syndrome

Neither Google nor I have seen this written down elsewhere, so I figured I’d commit it to internet permanence:

The dreaded China Set acceleration syndrome!

We have China Service(s?) in the following amounts:
1 My Grandmother
2 Her Grandmother (partial)
3 My Mom
4 Her Mom
5 Our Christmas Set
6 Our Wedding set

Plus uncounted crystal, Silver, and tea sets. Honestly, I sometimes wish Colorado got earthquakes.

I feel for my future daughters in law, as they’re be dealing with 9-15 sets each. :P

I shall call you: Quasimodo

5 days ago, a box was shipped from Hong Kong. Today, it’s hanging off my Aspire One (well, it might be more accurate to say the Aspire is hanging off the battery) It’s still on it’s first charge, so there’s no real telling what the ultimate battery life is, but it should be a significant improvement from the original 3-cell. It added roughly 1/2 – 3/4 lb. to the weight (from 2 lbs 3 oz to 2 lbs, 12 oz)


Update: Just an FYI. The battery by itself is just shade over 1 lb. (by 1/4 oz) and it’s first full charge lasted roughly 7 hours….3 playing a video, 2.5 playing streaming music and 90 minutes running Cinebench (at which the Aspire blows. :P but I didn’t think it’d be a contender for Pixars Renderfarm)

With the WiFi off and the screen dim, it’s estimated that it’d last over 10.5 hours…that’d be a LONG stint of Great American Novel writing.

Would you kindly indicate your direction of travel

I have an electrical intermittent circuit that I’ve traced down to one of the turn signals. I mis-rememberd it being a sealed item, but a little additional review shows the bits and pieces are easily (and fully) disassemblable. (yes, I’m verbing a verb)
