That Sux !!!! buckle down brutha !!! i should track that myself , cuz it'll only be a day or 2 before it hits me !!! lets hope it winds down by then .

Always such a great feeling to see that first glimpse of white against the side of the cup!

especially after everything i've been through with cloning !!!!

 

[Hammerhead]

I had 2 power outages 1 on sat 3am and one last night at 3am. The only think I was worried about where the clones drying out so I put them all in bowls of ro until the power came back on.

love that show! i must have watched it a dozen times by now...too bad it got cancelled,its rare to have a cast dynamic thats so strong,and especially anything sci-fi which mostly sucks as a genre in film and tv...

I love that show too.. if you ever get to see the 'making of' thing they do on that show.. those people knew there would be no season 2 from the time they put their 3rd episode in the can. You may or may not be aware that they made a movie after the series was over to wrap up the lose ends.. I have not watched the movie yet other than the first few seconds of it.. might do that tonight..

mgk

 

[dansbuds]

I knew about the movie long before i knew about the series . have seen them all now probably 4 times
The marathon is still on & they're savin the whores on this episode

you guys must be talking about Galactica. syfy/Horror/fantasy always has been a fav's of mine. The walking dead is the #1 show on television. there just blowing the doors off of the nielsen ratings from what they're reporting. I would bet more of these types of shows will be coming. I know there are allot already. Vampire diaries, Grimm, Witches of east end, Dracula theres more I just can't remember them all.

 

[dansbuds]

Its the show Firefly OC .... i'm a sci-fi nut myself to an extent , some of it is pretty lame, zombie movies annoy the hell out of me !!!

 

[Treetroit City]

Haven't heard of firefly, is it on a pay channel like hbo or something cause we don't subcribe to any of those.

Well so far so good, still have power. Doesn't sound very nice out there though. Shit be whippin.

had a power anomaly myself. woke up to a dark bloom room. tripped 220 cb's only. 110 were fine. arc faults. wondered what the fuck? finished gardening and on the way to work noticed utility trucks around the power lines down the street.
anyway, puff puff on some outdoor:

and some shitty lights on pics:

Evenion fellaz
Found my ant problem. My host decided to put some plants in the shed. I really didn't think much of it when I first seen them but got to thinking about why the ants would all of the sudden show up in massive numbers So I went back for another look. The ant trail is coming from 1 of his plants, around some obstacles and right up the table leg to my veg tray
c4 you win the prize but my problem is just began. The fucking ants are farming alright, moving the aphids from the yard plant to my GG#4 Gave him and my self a scolding and sent his yard plants packing. He thought he could soak up some free warm light lol Now I gotta treat for the little fucking bugs for the next few months

No ... i've seen it on a few different networks like sci-fi , tnt . right now the marathon is on the science channel .

 

[unclefishstick]

im lucky cause im on the same power block as 2 hospitals and the main fire and police stations so my power hardly ever even burps and when it does go out this is the first block to get power back,sometimes i have power and people less than a mile away dont...

good luck tonight,find your flashlights and candles now before the power goes out!


oc firefly is on hulu and netflix,netflix has the serenity movie as well


spent some time wrenching on the bike,got the handlebars stripped down and in a new configuration....gotta be up to handlebars version 7.0 by now...got the front pannier rack mounted properly,just gonna give up on the notion of this bike ever going fast and get some fenders...that will make it possible to strap stuff on the front panniers so i can do touring trips with no trailer,just carry everything on the bike...im gonna just go ahead and get a pugsly,that will be the mountain bike/exploration bike...to go to those place even the dirt roads dont reach...

 

[Smokin Joe]

Keep your head down brutha 3rd. That looks like a gooden

 

[Treetroit City]

Well through friends on facebook I hear power is out all around us.

Fingers, toes crossed...

 

[unclefishstick]

lol,just think,in another month that would have been a snow storm!

 

[Smokin Joe]

here ya go unc. I know you don't click these links but its a pugsly with a motor http://www.youtube.com/v/kJD9nw2SuPY?autoplay=1&rel=0&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer&version=3

 

[dansbuds]

there was a surly for sale here .... all decked out & It had one of those but i didn't know what it was . the details were on the bike were pretty lame .

 

[unclefishstick]

thats all decked out for touring,likes like a nice rig,funny they crusted all sorts of crap onto the handlebars too...

G i saw an old guy who had a small motor on his bike while i was eating to refuel from my 25 mile ride to go out and eat...kinda made me think....a pugsly with a motor....that just seems like cheating....the whole point of it to me is being able to get back deep in the wilderness without making a bunch of noise,hunters are getting into the fat bike thing now...

 

[Smokin Joe]

It's only cheating when you use it so save it for when your knee needs a brake
Now about them damn root aphids. I know you fellas had a bout with them this year. What do you think did the job best?

Hope the best for everyone in the path of the storms....tornados in the midwest all over the news this evening.
