Refer to @Xue Sheng 's post regarding his computer not being on.

Well, stay dry man. Good job ditching the beard - it'd just be dripping all over the place the next week or so.

I have a house Inspection tomorrow so I am stuck indoors anyway.

Based on our two house purchases, things to look out for during a house inspection: when your inspector says "Oh my god!" and when your inspector says "What is THAT?!"

Also, when they say, "I didn't charge enough for this job."

I'd like to point out that all three of these were said within a few minutes of each other at the inspection of the first house the Hobbit and I lived in. Yes, we bought it, in spite of that. Interesting times.

That was a fun house... Remember the orange power cable?

Looked at a home, just before we purchased the one we now lived in. Mrs Xue liked it so I was going along with it, but my gut kept telling me this was a bad idea. During inspection the inspector pulled the electrical panel and said..."uh oh" to which I said "why uh oh?" apparently they had aluminum wires going to copper connections and this is a bad thing. Then he tool a look at the cantilever foundation at the back of the house and said "Interesting" and then went to the basement and said, "The joist are wet". I thoroughly enjoyed telling their real estate agent that we were not buying the house due to the failure of the inspection....I really did not like their real estate agent

We did not buy that house.... and I was so very happy

My current house the same inspector took pictures of the electrical box to show his class as to how it should be done

It just started snowing at my office.....it was snowing at my house when I left for work this morning.......I'm guessing I have more snow at home than they have at my office

At the office, you don't have to clear the driveway....
but i sense a theme.

Last night I had to go to the store.
The whole county was there, no milk or bread to be had (good, I don't need any)
Today, not even a snowflake!
It barely froze.
I mean, it IS cold, but not 'Arctic Blast' cold.

I have a weak spot on my back, causing a pinched nerve from time to time.
Normally it's the right side. I am used to that, annoying, but no bigger bother.

Today it's the left, I can barely move!

The effects of the Polar Vortex are supposed to be here by morning...when I will be out in my driveway at 5:00 am with the snow blower, clearing it so Mrs Xue can go to work. Lord knows she will not stay home

Don't over do it, take it easy

Found this on the internet and just had to share

Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet?

So, has it? I'm too lazy to read.

Palm sized flakes coming down a bit ago here... watching flashibg traffic lights to see if their malfunction equals a problem.

OUCH! That does not sound like fun. Take care of yourself!

At that house, when the inspector pulled the panel, that's when we heard, "What is that?" We ended up rewiring the house for a multitude of reasons.
