  1. Did anyone else hear this on the news this morning? Something about a jet having engine trouble and made an emergency landing. Leonardo DiCaprio happened to be on the plane and all the focus was centered on HIM! A reporter said something like Leonardo DiCaprio went above and beyond the call by signing autographs for the flight crew and passangers. Is this crazy? The media is so screwed up in this country. How about a little focus the the people that were actually FLYING the plane. Does anyone else find this absurd?


  2. Tearing out carpet is hot...

    ...and tiring work!

    Congratulations on ten years!

    I thought it was going to be easy. I thought wrong. I think it was about 4:30am when I finished. You wouldn't believe the dirt that was under the carpet and carprt pad. We try to keep a pretty clean house but the dirt under this was almost unbelievable and it not even a "busy" room. It's my 5 year old's bedroom.


  3. Looks like there's a few of us that got married on the same weekend. Polina and I are having our tenth today. It seems to have gone by so fast. My mom is watching the little one tonight so we can go for a nice dinner, then when we come home, uh... I better finish that on the next post.

  4. Nasty. Several years ago I had to walk off a job I had just started because of the amount of spiders. Big ones, little ones, they were everywhere. I told her to give me a call once she got rid of them. She never called back... maybe the spiders got her.


  5. The engines will run for a very long time in serviced correctly. My oldest is about 17 years and still runs fine. When looking for a used (or new) washer pay close attention to the pump, that's the weak link in the system. I don't think many weekend warriors give a second thought about overheating the pumps, not changing the pump oil, or not using the correct oil in the pump (there is a difference in oils). Hope that helps.


  6. Great idea Adrian, nice work.

    It's too bad we have to do this in our country, collecting food for people that have none. One thing that gets me angry is the amount of waste we have in our cities. What really burns me is a radio ad I hear every summer that says something like "For just 50 dollars you can feed a child for the summer while school is out and the children have nothing to eat." For the most part it's a bunch of BS. If the people could see the trays of untouched free lunchs dumped in the trash while the child says "I aint eatin' that crap" Then they pull out a 5 or 10 dollar bill and buy chips or icecream.

    There was a restaurant near my apartment in Osaka that was an "all you could eat" type of place. The owner would charge you extra if you had too much food left over on your plate when you were finished with your dinner. I always thought that was a great idea.
