and the best deal ever was 3 550 rnd boxes of federal .22lr for $5 a box and 8 boxes of AA 12ga 7.5 shot for $3 a box and 4 boxes of federal eagle .308 ammo for $3 a box

Dude! That's AWESOME! See, now you got me wanting to go garage sale'ing but I can't for all the pain I'm in and the drugs I'm on.... Booooooo on you too!

Dude, I don't wanna hear it. You're going to get a normal check-up and sent on your way with a script.

Tomorrow, I go get drugged up, then they stick something IN ME to pull out my kidney stone!

Just imagine how your wife felt! Got something stuck in her and next thing she knows they're pulling out a WHOLE FREAKING PERSON!



But srsly, I hope both you two get to feelin better soon.

I would like to remind everyone that a tube of super glue in a first aid kit is a good idea...

Went for a nice bike ride this afternoon. Now that my degree is done, it's time to start in earnest to get in shape for the Marines. Since I haven't been working out much, I decided to start out kinda easy today (thus the bike ride instead of a run).

I used an iPhone app called Runtastic to track my ride, and the stats are here if you wanna check it out.

That's a pretty cool app. Is it available for the iTouch? My son has one and he does a lot of walking.

Weird... it showed up in understandable units the first time I opened it, but now it keeps coming up in metric. Who the freak knows how far a stinkin km is?! I know, I know, with my engineering background, I *should* prefer metric now.. but dangit, this is AMERICA! I like inches, feet, yards, miles, gallons, and pounds, thankyouverymuch.

Yeah, it can be purchased for the iPod touch too, but I'm not positive how well it'll work without a persistent data connection. I'm not sure if the GPS needs to have a cellular connection, too, to work right.

Here's a link to the free version on iTunes (I use the free version).
runtastic for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store

Since it's free, it can't hurt to get it and try it out.

 

[jclark]

Thanks guys!

Yea, the OP didn't hit me at all. It was the two hangers on...I guess he has groupies now.

Oh well. There's always the ignore button, but I really don't want to use that, everyone has something to say and I enjoy reading it.
