Under "Things in Australia that will kill you", I found this:


I think you mite have the wrong mite there Bick.... although most Aussies would probably agree that Marmite is poison, most foreigners generally regard this one as toxic..

I have heard (Ung can likely verify truth or fiction) that overall Koalas are pretty ill as a group.
Depends where in Australia you are JM.   In the promiscuous States of NSW and QLD Koala populations have been seriously affected by chlamydia.  Yet here in VIC our koalas have apparently been pacticing safe sex and so remain disease free.

Commissioning a control system, there's somewhere around 15000 I/O points on this mutha. So far, fail rate is around 90%, Fack me, can't supposed "tradesmen" read a simple circuit diagram? (Rhetorical question by the way, I know the answer sadly enough.)
1 outta 10 ain't bad  [laugh]

redoing an entire system now, existing controllers remaining but everything up from that is changing
that one is somewhere only around 1000 or so IO but 4 or 5 times the that in non-physical points
Next one up after that is at or about the IO count you mention.

Going to an Alumna event tonight. It is over in Redmond, near the old work. A woman from the Mills class of 1988 is co-owner of Black Raven Brewery. Drinks are on her! I am driving, so none for me  :'(

Going to socialize.

I get angry about the plumber because it's all about me. :P

I understand that he's dealing with heating issues for people that are actually living in the houses he services.

The drywall hangers will be fine.

I'm pretty sure the heat will be running when mud happens.  ;)

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

NooNing.

Customer just sent me photos of a design I worked a couple weeks ago all installed.  He did the gates, I did the black jack inset.  His customer won 1.8M at the black jack table.





This is some of the more interesting (fun) things I get to design. 

Working on some other pieces for the same customer that should be done soon.  One of those I'm real excited about to see finished.





Amazing!

Excellent work, Diva!
