Cutting out at 2pm instead of 3pm. Sometimes an hour makes all the difference.

7 minutes to freedom!
Okay, today hit both. About 20F this morning. Currently 68F. This is ridiculous!

You want maddening. Spend the afternoon building an image for an old PC, on an old PC, only to discover, when you are almost done, that the PC supplied to you, is a piece of crap that when it gets to hot, reboots. Had to go find an old, unissued PC and start all over again.
But I got even.... I DBANed that PC.... that showed it

I can imagine. The Countryman is supposed to be good in snow, per advertising.Lol. So guys. Mini Cooper s. Not a great snow car. Just saying.
We've been threatening that for the last few years, Steve. If I could've afforded it, we'd definitely have done so. If I get this job I'm looking at, we'll definitely have one before next year, as this is the first year (in the 6 we've been here) that we didn't have an outage that lasted 2 full days.
I love watching that. My favorite is when someone brings something in just to find out the story behind it, the expert starts saying things like, "And you can see here this has been repaired. It would be worth more if it had been left damaged." Then after a bit more information, they casually tell them the piece is highly desirable and worth about $18,000 at auction. I love the confused pleasure on their faces, like, "Wait...but you said...."

Second to last day in my grade 6 title. I start the grade 13 on Thursday, although I won't see that pay rate until March 8.

There are a few common types. There are the guys who think they have something really valuable, and are disappointed when it's only worth a small fortune. A guy had a 1928 team signed Yankees ball. 22 signatures including babe Ruth. It was "only" with about $35,000. He was disappointed because he thought it could be worth 4 times that.
There was another guy on who had an eagle sculpture he paid $1200 for, and it is worth about $200. I feel bad for those guys.
And then, there are those who are blown away. A lady had a deco lighter worth like $4000.
Yeah, I feel sorry for the folks who over-spend, too. Though I actually feel worse, for some reason, for those who think they have an old family heirloom from their great-great-great-uncle, and find out it can't be more than 100 years old.

The reason I prefer one of those pawn shop shows over Antique Roadshow is that on the pawn shows, the customers get mad, and amusing fights can ensue. On AR, people are more classy. If there is one thing I have learned, it's a simple math equation:
classy = boring
classy = boring

Oh, yeah. That doesn't happen too often, though. Thankfully.
