Wanna feel old?
If Back To The Future were made today, and Marty travelled back the same number of years he did in the original. he would travel back to 1993.

Just got back from the ER an hour ago. Turns out I broke my left patella in half and either tore or strained all the ligaments and tendons attached to it. Not sure what happens next. Maybe nothing, maybe a stay at a short term nursing care facility. I'll know more tomorrow.I'm DONE with today. Cei-U! Basta es basta!

I just got this in reverse. I've started an X-Files rewatch and saw "Squeeze" today. Mulder said that if they didn't catch Tooms before he got his fifth liver, his next thirty-year hibernation would end in 2023.
Subsequent events should have made that a non-issue, but maybe board up those vents just to be sure.
Also, sympathy, Cei-U!. Hope the good karma you're building up rewards you ASAP.

Good news. My knee feels so much better today that it's clear I didn't tear any ligaments. My knee aches and that's no fun but there's no nursing home in my immediate future.
Cei-U! I'll take it!

It was zero days ago that I realized the New Jersey Devils were named after the legend of the Jersey devil.
My embarrassment runs deep.

Well, that was fun!
Today is my day off (nothing related to Father's day or Sunday, just not scheduled to work). Because we are a person short, I went in at Noon, to take care of the paperwork and bank deposit from the previous day's business, then deliver an order that was due tomorrow morning. No big deal, planned that on Friday. Got to the store and they were having issues with our large scale printer, which wouldn't pass our color verification checks. The system prints out a color chart and you use a little device that optically reads the color and compares it against the correct color value. Problem was, one of the squares wasn't printed in the correct color; not banding, where it prints unevenly, but an entirely incorrect shade. Supposed to be orange, but we had a light yellow. Tried to run calibration and it kept giving me a hardware error. Shut the printer down for a bit and then restarted it and tried to run a head cleaning. Would complete the cleaning then give the hardware error. Restarted the printer again and ran calibration, but it couldn't complete the calibration. Meanwhile, we have two orders for poster prints that we cannot complete, at present, by the due times. Contacted customers and both said they couldn't wait and canceled their orders. Ran another head cleaning cycle and it completed properly. Ran calibration again and this time I saw the orange segments printed, instead of a blank line. Printer finished calibration fine, for the first out of 4 times I ran it. Ran the color verification procedure again and it passed, printing the correct squares at the correct color values. Contacted the customers and left messages that our printer is operable and to let us know if they still wanted us to print their items or fully cancel the order. Left instructions with my people in case the customers call back to say go ahead, then left the store, 3 hours later. I expected to be gone no more than an hour.
I decided the heck with this and stopped in a restaurant to have a steak and some shrimp and unwind a bit. Then came home and gave the poor kitties treats for leaving them alone for so long.
I swear, if my parents hadn't instilled a strong work ethic, my life would be a lot quieter and more relaxing! Curse them and their Midwestern Values!

Reminds me that I first read of the Jersey Devil legend thanks to the unforgettable work of Gardner Fox, Julius Schwartz, Mike Sekowsky and Sid Greene in Justice League of America #53

I'm happy to hear the universe has decided to stop shitting on Kurt for a while. I hope that trend continues.

If someone told me I'd be wearing a big straw hat and relaxing in a very large garden 20 years ago, I'd swear you were insane and yet here I am.
Of course I turned it into making some cash too, we sold 805 avocado in 2 days and have around 1500+ more that should be ready before I take another trip....that's essentially been funded by what I grow.
The only difference this year, because of family protests, I don't climb any further than 30 feet. I used to go up 60 feet or more.
