Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. A new Spec’s opened near us, so we decided to check it out today. Man, it’s a lush’s paradise! It’s huge – for you Austinites, it’s where Acadamy Sports used to be down on Lamar and 290. Anyway, wow. Acres of beer, booze, and wine, plus lots of cheese, chocolate, and other fancy junk food. My kinda place. I’ve figured out that yes, I really do like beer, and so I’ve been picking up all sorts of different interesting beers. For example, right now I’m drinking an Arrogant Bastard…

Here’s an “after” picture: Half of that stuff on the left is for the theoretical garage sale we’ll have after we get through at least some of the junk room. Hopefully. More pictures on how we spent a four-day Memorial day weekend after the cut!

That doesn’t look good.
Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. I mean, I know we haven’t been able to actually get to the water heater in… well, let’s just say far too long and leave it at that, ok? But I’m not really liking the look of the bottom of the water heater at all. Gas heating/cooking makes me nervous, though it’s certainly cheaper, and better for cooking too. Still… <shudder> Need to replace that asap. Hmm. Should we get a tankless? And maybe put a water softener/filter in as well.

I’d really love to see what he’d do in a foot of snow, but that ain’t happening here. It’s still falling, and sticking pretty good, but if we get a whole inch of actual snow, I’d be surprised. EDIT: Yeah, it’s more rain than snow right now, and what snow there is is slushifying. Yes, that is a word. I swear it is. Anyway, the icicles are melting off the roof. But, my outdoor temp gauge says 31, and…

Well, consistency eludes me so far. Again. Oh well. :) It appears that Gallery is still working for me. Hopefully, that will continue. I have no idea why it broke before. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the database, but other than that I haven't the foggiest. Anyhow, I'm working on getting my albums back up properly. Here's a few recent samples: I made myself a quite serviceable BPAL box! I cut some styrofoam to fit tightly in a former chocolate box: Today, I had the urge to make cookies. They turned out fabulous! Not to toot…
