Morning

Comment by BobR on 11/24/2014 14:35:26
Nothing like having the cat wake you up at 6:30 AM Sunday chasing a mouse around the bedroom that she caught outside and brought in to place with.

And no - I don't mean she caught the bedroom outside, so you grammar police just settle down.

Breaking news:
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is stepping down under pressure, the first cabinet-level casualty of the collapse of President Obama’s Democratic majority in the Senate and a beleaguered national security team that has struggled to stay ahead of an onslaught of global crises.

The president, who is expected to announce Mr. Hagel’s resignation in a Rose Garden appearance on Monday, made the decision to ask his defense secretary — the sole Republican on his national security team — to step down last Friday after a series of meetings over the past two weeks, senior administration officials said.

Lone Republican? I thought Ray LaHood was his Secretary of Transportation?

Hey I read your post on Saturday. Addiction is really overwhelming to deal with. I personally know at least three people (including the love of my life) who are dealing with the hook of the opiates and it's just life-consuming for everyone involved.

That was pretty much the only think anyone talked about on local media.

Since the Senate will have to confirm HAgel's replacement, I think we can safely say he will be there indefinitely….

Hey, I wasn't grammar policing the bit Bob was worried about. I was policing the glaring typo. Because, I am smart-ass and rose to the challenge that was dropped in my lap.

6:30? If my cats tried to wake me at 6:30, they'd have a big problem because I'd be in my car. Come to think of it, that would be a BIG problem, wouldn't it.

I usually have something like this

at 4:15. Of course, cats have no concept of "weekend". Neither does Mrs. Rabbit, for that matter.

Damn I miss that cat.

So really my weekend was spent getting the microphone I won at the TUTN Halloween drawing up and running. I had ordered a small mixing console that could power the mic (the mic needs 48V phantom power), as an extra added bonus I can use it to digitize my old cassette tapes rather than going to the crappy sound card. Multiple trips to Radio Shack because I made the mistake of listening to the sales person, oh well, Mrs Rabbit likes rides.

There's a big enough difference in background noise between the mixer and the sound card that I might re-digitize the tapes I had previously done.

She placed it alright - placed it on the floor in the bedroom where it was squeaking up a storm while she played with it.

WE NEED THIS FOR THE BLOG
http://digital.hammacher.com/Items/12225/12225_1000x1000.jpg


The Pedal Pubâ„¢.
This is the vehicle that accommodates up to 17 people who pedal, serve, drive, and imbibe as it travels. Invented in the Netherlands as a way to promote a local tavern, its high-grade steel chassis provides a reliable, safe, and open deck ideal for socializing. With five pedal seats per side, 10 pedalers propel the vehicle up to 5 mph on flat surfaces with grades up to 6%. A bench in the rear and two additional seats provide seating for five passengers. The final spots are taken up by a driver who sits in front at the wheel and a bartender who serves revelers while standing on a low interior deck that runs the length of the vehicle. An empty wine barrel accommodates a keg of your preferred brew; it connects to a tap and overflow tray at the bar (linkage required), which has cup holders to secure beverages. The included sound system places four speakers in the bar's overhead storage racks beneath its wooden roof, allowing you to play music from an integrated AM/FM radio that supports MP3 connectivity (required). Supports pedalers up to 300 lbs. each. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply. 20' L x 8' W x 10' H. (2,300 lbs.)

I used to scream at the tv every time Cheney was on for him to have a heart attack and die, just so I could see it with my own eyes. I may start doing the same for the gentleman from Arizona.

I'd point to him before Boner or McConnell as "The Problem" in kongruss. Everything he says or does is classic 'not helping'.
