Appreciations of the day

[Brian]

We went to the beach!  There was fire, and spitting of flammables.  There was merriment, and hot-dogs, and smores.  There was a moonlit midnight cliff-climb.

It was awesome.

[Brian]

My faithful friend and companion for almost 14 years is now ready to retire.  I'm appreciative to have a 16 year old's birthday gift of a first real, leather, wallet, have lasted this long.  But it's been in a bad way for some time, and now I replace it.

New wallet!  Awesome value from old wallet!

Now ... what kind of wallet do I get?  RFID blocking?  Solid steel?  Duct-tape?  Or maybe, something from Fossil....

Go simple and leather. You can't go wrong with the classics.

[Brian]

Sounds reasonable!  Now, the Apex, or the Torque?

Hmm.....  I like the Apex, but Torque's got more of that 'real leather' action.

Your link is broken. Here are working links.

I vote for the Torque.

[Brian]

Ironically, those links didn't work for me. :p

I ended up going with Mercer!

Wacky, now they don't work for me either. Fossil's site is teh wack.

[Brian]

I have vanquished the demon of debt.


Edit: ...I say, moments before the collections people call again.  But this is a good thing.  I now have Just Cause to bitch them out.  And so I have!

[Dracos]

VICTOLY!

[Dracos]

Home again, Home again, ziggidy zig.

[Brian]

Lebowskifest was awesome.  Photos maybe to come later, depending on how they turned out.

[Anastasia]

We're back up. Yay!

[KLSymph]

The Java chat thingy doesn't work. Though that's been like that since before the forum disappeared.

[Dracos]

Oh?  I wasn't aware of that.  I'll check into it.

And yes, huge victory on being back up.  Apparently both our DNS servers went down, blacking us  out to the world gradually.

[Dracos]

Fixed now.  Thanks Odin.

KL: We just weren't aware. :)  Easily fixed.
