My mind is going about a gazillion miles an hour this morning. Lots to do at work, my basement looks like a cold-war era missile maintenance shop, and I get to go see my dentist again this afternoon.

As I was pulling onto our street the other day, a old and beat up red ford mini-station wagon was coming out. It had those new spinning hubs. A bit of Mookie-wisdom: "Before spending hundreds of dollars tricking out your car, have a car worth more than hundreds of dollars."

This picture made me laugh.

My wife thinks it's unusual that I say things like "I ran out of epoxy". According to her, most people wouldn't use it up before it went bad. I'm waiting for a good moment to tell her that the next time I'm buying epoxy, I'm getting a gallon of resin, a quart of hardener, plus a bunch of extras like microballons and milled fiberglass. And for completeness' sake, I highly recommend this guy for all your adhesive needs.

Superglue. Most folks buy those little tiny containers, the hobby-grade stuff I use comes in 8 ounce bottles. Thick and thin viscosity too.

Since I seem to be stuck on the subject (*owww*), I was digging through my adhesives box, and noticed that I had:

Oldest daughter Robyn went to the hospital in an ambulance the other day. She collapsed at school and the doctors say it was dehrydration. My diagnosis is stupidity so I yelled at her on the phone to take better care of herself and we both felt better. So anyway, she's done at the hospital and gets a ride back to campus, walks into her room, and has this conversation with her roomie:

Roomie: "Were you really taken to the hospital?"

Robyn: "Yeah."

Roomie: "I guess you don't wanna go out partying tonight."

Robyn: "Here's your sign."

1 Do you actually USE all those adhesives..or is this like a man thing where more is better? Perhaps that question should go to your wife?

2 LOL Each has a specific purpose and there's a reason I use certain ones at different times. I might do a post on glues. If you think political flame wars are bad, you should see the epoxy vs. wood glue schism (about as bad as DOS vs Unix).

3 Ted, please don't go around spray-painting spiders. Or if you do, please don't tell us.

4 And for more unsolicited advice: Perhaps you should get daughter Robyn a Camelbak for Christmas. Heh.
