More on Global Warming
This is primarily for Mike, since I seriously doubt anyone (other than Demel) that reads my blog cares about it. I found a post with some good links against GW.
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23411799-7583,00.html
The summary of this one is that recent data from the Aqua satellite indicates that the effects of CO2 are not even close to effecting warming as that idiot Al Gore and his army of grunts says.
A good clip:

Oh, and if you can't tell, I have pretty much now ruled out GW as being anything be fraud.
I cannot deny that CO2 gases are up, HOWEVER, is it not true that during the reign of the dinos that levels were 10x or so what they are today? The earth did just fine then. There was enough plant life to support way more creatures, and way larger creatures than there is today, so with the population of the planet WAY out of control, BRING IT ON!
Other than CO2, which apparently isn't having an effect, they are just a bunch of pot smokers looking for something to do.

The summary of this one is that recent data from the Aqua satellite indicates that the effects of CO2 are not even close to effecting warming as that idiot Al Gore and his army of grunts says.
A good clip:
Duffy: "From what you're saying, it sounds like the implications of this could beconsiderable ..."
Marohasy: "That's right, very much so. The policy implications are enormous. The meteorological community at the moment is really just coming to terms with the output from this NASA Aqua satellite and (climate scientist) Roy Spencer's interpretation of them. His work is published, his work is accepted, but I think people are still in shock at this point."
If Marohasy is anywhere near right about the impending collapse of the global warming paradigm, life will suddenly become a whole lot more interesting.
A great many founts of authority, from the Royal Society to the UN, most heads of government along with countless captains of industry, learned professors, commentators and journalists will be profoundly embarrassed. Let us hope it is a prolonged and chastening experience.
With catastrophe off the agenda, for most people the fog of millennial gloom will lift, at least until attention turns to the prospect of the next ice age. Among the better educated, the sceptical cast of mind that is the basis of empiricism will once again be back in fashion. The delusion that by recycling and catching public transport we can help save the planet will quickly come to be seen for the childish nonsense it was all along.
The poorest Indians and Chinese will be left in peace to work their way towards prosperity, without being badgered about the size of their carbon footprint, a concept that for most of us will soon be one with Nineveh and Tyre, clean forgotten in six months.
The scores of town planners in Australia building empires out of regulating what can and can't be built on low-lying shorelines will have to come to terms with the fact inundation no longer impends and find something more plausible to do. The same is true of the bureaucrats planning to accommodate "climate refugees".
Penny Wong's climate mega-portfolio will suddenly be as ephemeral as the ministries for the year 2000 that state governments used to entrust to junior ministers. Malcolm Turnbull will have to reinvent himself at vast speed as a climate change sceptic and the Prime Minister will have to kiss goodbye what he likes to call the great moral issue and policy challenge of our times.
It will all be vastly entertaining to watch.

This one is more of a good stab at GW with fire. Partially backed with facts, but this is more of a reality check for the GW DS's.
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/2352
This one is pretty good. I think it summarizes many known facts debunking Al Gores brain as being anything but silly-putty. this line sums it up.
The roughly 50 computer experts and scientists who form the core advisory group for the IPCC’s stance must have realized for several years now that the game was up. There is indeed copious evidence that climate is changing, as it always has; and that natural biological and physico-chemical systems - again as always - are changing in response. But as to human causation – the evidential cupboard is bare.
http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/climate_change/001320pachauri_on_recent_c.html
This guy is a middle man, but he quotes the "messiah" of the GW religeon (Al Gore is the prophet). This is one of the funniest things because this is EXACTLY the argument that the opposition has been saying for years, and he has been ignoring. That is so stinking ironic it is unbelievable.
Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the U.N. Panel that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, said he would look into the apparent temperature plateau so far this century.
"One would really have to see on the basis of some analysis what this really represents," he told Reuters, adding "are there natural factors compensating?" for increases in greenhouse gases from human activities.
He added that sceptics about a human role in climate change delighted in hints that temperatures might not be rising. "There are some people who would want to find every single excuse to say that this is all hogwash," he said.
http://www.fel.duke.edu/~scafetta/pdf/opinion0308.pdf
I like this quote:
The IPCC report1 concludes
that the contribution of solar
variability to global warming is negligible,
to a certainty of 95%. It is reported
that the “majority” believes the average
warming observed since the beginning
of the industrial era is due to the increase
in anthropogenic greenhouse gas
concentrations in the atmosphere.
Ok, so... are you high? Are you retarded? Are you a complete fool? What?!? The sun has no impact on warming of the earth? OH....MY....GOLLLLY! That is like me saying that the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki had no impact on the deaths from that day through the next several decades, with a 95% certainty, and it was from natural causes.
The point of the article is to show what data is NOT taken into account by the Al Gores of the world. The truth is that Al Gore is WAY too stupid to understand this stuff.http://heartland.temp.siteexecutive.com/pdf/22835.pdf
I have yet to finish this as I post, but hey, how can you ignore this stuff?
So, ok Mike, stuff this one down your "Al Gore wannabe" friend's throat. If he bites, then he is an infected zombie of this cult movement.
Oh, and if you can't tell, I have pretty much now ruled out GW as being anything be fraud.
I cannot deny that CO2 gases are up, HOWEVER, is it not true that during the reign of the dinos that levels were 10x or so what they are today? The earth did just fine then.

Dear Secret Admirer
The rain dance worked goober boy. We got around 10 inches in about 10 days. Not to mention that I produce enough methane to power a medium sized commercial building for a day thanks to the stress you cause me. At 99 cents a blow, you will make me RICH RICH RICH, so keep it up toad lover.
Pictures? The pictures you would want are not allowed on this website. Keep dreaming, or wait till you come to visit. I will give you pictures that with fulfill all your medieval fantasies, and give you nightmares for the rest of your life.
If we were barbecuing brains, yours wouldn't be enough to feed a small family of amoebas. I have boogers that are smarter than you.
(for those of you that don't know this, I love Demel, and this is all in fun)
Boy George Sucks
Had to blog on this article:
Call it tit for tat: Fresh off of the U.K.'s denial of entry to Martha Stewart, the U.S. has banned Boy George from its shores.
Somehow, it doesn't quite feel like a fair trade.
The "Karma Chameleon" purveyor has been refused a visa for the U.S. leg of his summer tour, which was to include a special performance for his former colleagues at New York's Department of Sanitation, over complications arising from the singer's criminal past and pending his London trial this November.

Bouncing Baby Brendan is Born
Ok, so many have heard, but Brendan was a BIG HUGE MONSTER. His exit was pretty easy, but it the door frame broke. Yikes. 10lbs 2oz. 22in. Ok, so the whole thing was pretty good for me over all two. It was a bit gross at times, however I made it Ok. Anyone for some wine reduction sauce over roast placenta? Yum! How about some pan fried umbilical links?
He has slept very well! I really can't believe it. Katrina has to wake him up about every 3 hours to feed him most of the time. Pretty amazing. We all feel pretty well rested. Gramma graves was up and was very helpful through all this, especially taking care of Ian. I was also able to work quite a bit last week thanks to her. Since I needed about 20 days of vacation this year, but only have 15, I just bought back 3 days. Yea!

Global Warming... again
I had to comment about Mike's "liberal friend's" comment. Ok, so lets analyze this bias thing. Stating that Al Gore's "mythical consensus" is not true is not true. Confused? Sure, I say that this is a fact. It is NOT true that there is a huge vast consensus among all the worlds scientists about global warming, in fact quite the contrary. I challenge anyone to find a published article that has "unbiased" polling of all related scientists, or anyone that has any relevancy to the field that say there is a consensus.
Also, where as there may be some people who are touting that there is no global warming for the sake of money, but also the opposite is true. There are A LOT of researchers who's funds depend on global warming. There is a lot of people around the worlds that would be out of a job if it was just a myth.
The fact remains that we simply do not understand the world we live in from a long term geo-historical perspective enough to really say for sure. I don't think we should just blow all global warming as a myth until it is proven so. To do so would be folly. At the same time, I don't think that we should get rid of all our gas engines and shut down all the factories either. I personally like the world we live in to at least some degree and prefer not to revert back to the stone ages as the Al Gores of the world would have us. Also, your buddy Al Gore probably consumes 10x more goods and energy as any of us combine. This is just is little platform to have something to do. I would wager he doesn't give a rats rectum about global warming other than it makes him a lot of money.

Best Global Warming Article Ever!
Ok all you mugs, lets throw the best "anti-global warming" bomb I have seen to date. Obviously this doesn't necessarily "prove" that global warming is a farce, but I think it sure as hack makes Al Gore and his buddies look like morons, which actually they do a pretty good job of on their own.
I think if there is a modern day calamity of huge proportions, it is something like this. Please discuss.

Posted 2/7/2008
Climate Change: Not every scientist is part of Al Gore's mythical "consensus." Scientists worried about a new ice age seek funding to better observe something bigger than your SUV — the sun.
Related Topics: Global Warming
Back in 1991, before Al Gore first shouted that the Earth was in the balance, the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study using data that went back centuries that showed that global temperatures closely tracked solar cycles.
To many, those data were convincing. Now, Canadian scientists are seeking additional funding for more and better "eyes" with which to observe our sun, which has a bigger impact on Earth's climate than all the tailpipes and smokestacks on our planet combined.
And they're worried about global cooling, not warming.
Kenneth Tapping, a solar researcher and project director for Canada's National Research Council, is among those looking at the sun for evidence of an increase in sunspot activity.
Solar activity fluctuates in an 11-year cycle. But so far in this cycle, the sun has been disturbingly quiet. The lack of increased activity could signal the beginning of what is known as a Maunder Minimum, an event which occurs every couple of centuries and can last as long as a century.
Such an event occurred in the 17th century. The observation of sunspots showed extraordinarily low levels of magnetism on the sun, with little or no 11-year cycle.
This solar hibernation corresponded with a period of bitter cold that began around 1650 and lasted, with intermittent spikes of warming, until 1715. Frigid winters and cold summers during that period led to massive crop failures, famine and death in Northern Europe.
Tapping reports no change in the sun's magnetic field so far this cycle and warns that if the sun remains quiet for another year or two, it may indicate a repeat of that period of drastic cooling of the Earth, bringing massive snowfall and severe weather to the Northern Hemisphere.
Tapping oversees the operation of a 60-year-old radio telescope that he calls a "stethoscope for the sun." But he and his colleagues need better equipment.
In Canada, where radio-telescopic monitoring of the sun has been conducted since the end of World War II, a new instrument, the next-generation solar flux monitor, could measure the sun's emissions more rapidly and accurately.
As we have noted many times, perhaps the biggest impact on the Earth's climate over time has been the sun.
For instance, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar Research in Germany report the sun has been burning more brightly over the last 60 years, accounting for the 1 degree Celsius increase in Earth's temperature over the last 100 years.
R. Timothy Patterson, professor of geology and director of the Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Center of Canada's Carleton University, says that "CO2 variations show little correlation with our planet's climate on long, medium and even short time scales."
Rather, he says, "I and the first-class scientists I work with are consistently finding excellent correlations between the regular fluctuations of the sun and earthly climate. This is not surprising. The sun and the stars are the ultimate source of energy on this planet."
Patterson, sharing Tapping's concern, says: "Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth."
"Solar activity has overpowered any effect that CO2 has had before, and it most likely will again," Patterson says. "If we were to have even a medium-sized solar minimum, we could be looking at a lot more bad effects than 'global warming' would have had."
In 2005, Russian astronomer Khabibullo Abdusamatov made some waves — and not a few enemies in the global warming "community" — by predicting that the sun would reach a peak of activity about three years from now, to be accompanied by "dramatic changes" in temperatures.
A Hoover Institution Study a few years back examined historical data and came to a similar conclusion.
"The effects of solar activity and volcanoes are impossible to miss. Temperatures fluctuated exactly as expected, and the pattern was so clear that, statistically, the odds of the correlation existing by chance were one in 100," according to Hoover fellow Bruce Berkowitz.
The study says that "try as we might, we simply could not find any relationship between industrial activity, energy consumption and changes in global temperatures."
The study concludes that if you shut down all the world's power plants and factories, "there would not be much effect on temperatures."
But if the sun shuts down, we've got a problem. It is the sun, not the Earth, that's hanging in the balance.

I am alive!
Ok, so I haven’t posted in a while. Not that I have any fans begging for more or anything, and much of what many of you would want to hear you know already, or you can get on K’s site. Today I have 10 minutes left in the day, and I am just simply done. I can’t stomach anymore concentration.
Anyway, it has been a good fall mostly. With new kid Brendan on the way, things are looking busy for the spring. We are looking at Mini-vans, and amazingly, I am not opposed to getting one. I know some people won’t get one, but hey, they are more accommodating for families than an SUV. How many of you really go driving around off-road anyway, so what is the point of an SUV? Have you still got this high-school, I wanna be cool thing going on? Give it up. You are a parent. That means you are no longer cool, so don’t fight it!
We are going to Indiana to be with my family this Thanksgiving. We will go Wednesday and come back on Saturday. It should be a great time. Ian is to the stage now where he travels pretty well (besides pulling out his hair on one entire side of his head while he sits there bored) and does very well away from home. He sleeps well regardless of where he is, and doesn’t get particularly upset about a new location or not being home.
Sunday we put up or Christmas tree and decorations. We have not really done much with that in the last many years, but now that Ian is around and loves lights and stuff, we will do more. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to the Christmas tree this year. I will also get out my Lego train for him to watch go around the tree. Since the dog is now confined to the kitchen and living room, and the tree takes up a pretty fair chunk of the living room, her space will now be reduced to less.
I think it is time to take the dog out hunting with only me returning. Of course Katrina loves that dog, which means I have to put up with poop, pee, fur EVERYWHERE, MASSIVE STINK EVERYWHERE, shredded garbage, walking, getting in my way, feeding, watering, ruining floors and other things, dirty everything anywhere she goes (our futon needs a bath), and so on and so on and so on… Dogs suck. If you like dogs, more power to ya. You can have mine too. I am hoping it kicks it as I write. I only tolerate it because it is Katrina’s dog, and she loves it, so by default I have to begrudgingly tolerate it, and force myself to like it. It will be time to fumigate and spend the 10 gazillion dollars and 10 gazillion hours it will take to recover from this stinky beast. I will NEVER... EVER... have a dog again. Well, if somebody gave me a million dollars to adopt a dog, I probably would. In fact I would do it for 100k, but probably no less.
Wo… where did that come from?

The results...
As many of you already know, we are expecting again. I am not sure if there is anyone who actually reads my blog that doesn’t know. Many of you already know that last week, we didn’t hear a heartbeat at our 11 week appt. The Dr. said this is common, and it shouldn’t worry us. Well, it really didn’t worry me. Why worry when there is nothing to worry about? Well, of course that doesn’t appease pregnant women. Katrina has been pretty much a nervous wreck this week with worry. Understandable of course. I was a little concerned, probably because Katrina was. She felt that "something was wrong" since then, and of course this amplified the paranoia several orders of magnitude higher. Well, today we had the ultra sound. Within about 3 seconds of putting the little probie on her stomach, we saw the little booger moving around, and heart beating. It was obviously a relief to both of us, especially Katrina. She was on cloud 11 I think. It was pretty funny though. The little baby was doing flip-flops all over the place like a little gymnast. Literally, it jumped up in the air and flipped all the way over like a back flip a few times. Crazy stuff for a 12 week old. Anyway, we are pleased that the baby is developing to be what appears to be normal. We saw 2 arms and 2 legs, hands and feet. We are blessed!

Global Warming
Ok, hot debate topic: Global Warming. I am pretty sick of hearing about it. It is interesting indeed to study both sides of the issue and see what they have to say. My position is essentially that global warming is real. However, what we do not know is what the effects on climate, sea levels, and the environment are. We don't know if temperatures will rise, or eventually fall. It could cause an ice age, or melt a lot of the ice on the planet. We just don't know. It could create a Utopian environment for all we know.
The main fact is that carbon dioxide levels are at an extremely high level, and based on the available information (like Arctic core ice samples) it has never been this high. Given the crap that humans are belching out of their factories, cars, and airplanes, it is not surprising. Until somebody can pin-point another major source of CO2, I am going to believe this is a human caused event. The temperature is only up slightly above historical trends. If this CO2 really had that much of a drastic effect on temperature, I think we would see it.
So, what about all the Al Gore crap? Well, Gore is a complete dork. This is his little way into the folds of fat on people, scratching and clawing your skin to make you listen to him. He needs a political stance, and some way to make money. This is it for him. He can kiss my fanny. There is not much scientific, historically based fact in what he says. More hurricanes? How do you know? We didn't track them before 100 years ago, so it may be a trend. Rising ocean levels? That is purely based on temperature. We haven't seen enough of this to know why, or what is next. Famine? Please... read the Bible and watch Sally Struthers as she has been working with famine kids for 250 years. Climate change? Whatever dude, the climate on this planet changes constantly. Many scientists believe that more that 6000 years ago that north Africa was a wet paradise. Signs of continual change are everywhere. Anyway, that just wets the surface.
So, where I don't believe we should just shut down our refineries and oil plants world wide plunging us back to the stone ages (like Gore the environmental hippy whore), I do believe we should put more effort into studies and put in reasonable efforts at decreasing emissions, finding new clean energy sources, and whatever else we can do. That just makes sense. Everyone knows that we are damaging our environment with emissions, cutting down rain forests, and polluting chemicals, etc. Lets focus on that sort of stuff first without bankrupting the planet in the process. We have bigger things to worry about, like food and water shortages looming on the horizon, or like a government that seems to screw everything up by doing anything. They should just keep doing nothing like they usually do, which seems to work quite well.
The bottom line is that over-reacting is foolish, but so is not acting at all is also.

The Battle of the Minds...
A battle of minds is being waged in my household. Myself vs. Ian. We are in a struggle like a game of chess. Ian on the side of getting into things, and Eric on the side of keeping him out. Of course this first started when Ian started walking a while back.
Ian's first move was grabbing my remote controls from the coffee table. At first, my counter move was wasn't particularly difficult or challenging for me as I just moved them to the back of the table. Ians next move was to bite the fireplace. Of course that was pretty irritating to us as it simply is not pleasant to bite bricks, or even watch somebody bite bricks, so this got us pretty good. We had some padding on the bricks, which helped some, but eventually we resorted to putting a blockade of stuff round it to keep him away.
Next was him crawling behind the couch and playing with the electrical wires. I actually think this was in the crawling stage. To check him, I had to build a large wooden badger... er, I mean a custom fence that I mounted to the wall resting up against the back of the couch. Quite effective really. This was a check mate on that activity. His next move wasn't quite as creative as he started reaching for the power cords behind the TV. I promptly built another wall mounted screen to block is way.
Next, the clever little guy learned to put stuff in front of the couch to climb up on it. He was using tools. There wasn't much we could do about this if we want to have a couch in the family room. Checkmate Ian! Fortunately he didn't do this too often.
Next, he decided to grow some more so he could reach my remote on the back of the coffee table. About the same time he started pulling the pillow out that blocked his way behind the couch between teh coffee table and couch. Of course this meant war... We moved his toy box in front of the coffee table. Of course it wasn't long until he started to move the toy box. I managed to pin it in place, so he just leared to crawl in it. From inside the toy box, he could crawl on the coffee table. Meanwhile, he was also moving the plastic storage bin blocking his access to the fireplace. I mounted a hook on the bricks and used a bunge cord around the bin for a while, but once he started the toy box thing, I had to take drastic measures. I got too old wood baby-gates and tied them from the edge of the couch all the way past the fireplace. "This will keep the little booger out for good!", me thoughts. Well, I was right, he has no direct access to the fireplace or coffee table now. However, within a few minutes he figured out he could step on the grids of the gate to climb up on the couch. Easy access to the coffee table. Bummer. So, the next day I countered by mounting a piece of paneling on the gate preventing his little feet access to the grid. Well, within a few hours the little cuss learned to climb on the couch unassisted. Check mate Ian again... Great Scott what do we do now???
Well, I am not a big fan of having to punish a 16 month old, however, the game was over, and the beatings begin... well, not really, but he does periodically get a little tap on the back of the leg. We decided immediately that he is allowed on the couch, however no standing because standing always leads to trying to climb up on the back of the couch. Since we would really rather him not fall into the kitchen, this is unacceptable behavior. He also crawls onto the coffee table, which we would rather not allow. So punishment consists of lots of "no", lots of putting him down, and a few swats. If nearly always responds, but he always does it again after a few minutes. So, he gets to spend a little time in his jail (play-pen), which really isn't so much of a punishment. Katrina's time is being highly monopolized by our little monster of a son. We love him so dearly, and other than this, he is such a good little man. We love to play together, read books, and I get to feed him regularly now. He is definitely one of the few great joys of my life.

About the same time he started pulling the pillow out that blocked his way behind the couch between teh coffee table and couch. Of course this meant war... We moved his toy box in front of the coffee table. Of course it wasn't long until he started to move the toy box. I managed to pin it in place, so he just leared to crawl in it. From inside the toy box, he could crawl on the coffee table. Meanwhile, he was also moving the plastic storage bin blocking his access to the fireplace. I mounted a hook on the bricks and used a bunge cord around the bin for a while, but once he started the toy box thing, I had to take drastic measures. I got too old wood baby-gates and tied them from the edge of the couch all the way past the fireplace. "This will keep the little booger out for good!", me thoughts. Well, I was right, he has no direct access to the fireplace or coffee table now. However, within a few minutes he figured out he could step on the grids of the gate to climb up on the couch. Easy access to the coffee table. Bummer. So, the next day I countered by mounting a piece of paneling on the gate preventing his little feet access to the grid. Well, within a few hours the little cuss learned to climb on the couch unassisted. Check mate Ian again... Great Scott what do we do now???
Well, I am not a big fan of having to punish a 16 month old, however, the game was over, and the beatings begin... well, not really, but he does periodically get a little tap on the back of the leg. We decided immediately that he is allowed on the couch, however no standing because standing always leads to trying to climb up on the back of the couch. Since we would really rather him not fall into the kitchen, this is unacceptable behavior. He also crawls onto the coffee table, which we would rather not allow. So punishment consists of lots of "no", lots of putting him down, and a few swats. If nearly always responds, but he always does it again after a few minutes. So, he gets to spend a little time in his jail (play-pen), which really isn't so much of a punishment. Katrina's time is being highly monopolized by our little monster of a son. We love him so dearly, and other than this, he is such a good little man. We love to play together, read books, and I get to feed him regularly now. He is definitely one of the few great joys of my life.

Whoopin up a bathroom
Today I am struggling with a start-up glitch on a microprocessor pin, and it is ticking me off. So, I will blog for a few minutes before returning to head banging. The bathroom is nearly complete (pics on K's blog). I cut the the tile Saturday, installed it on Sunday, and grouted last night. On Sunday, we put in the counter and all the accessories, and Katrina painted on Saturday. Tonight, I install the toilet, and hook-up the sink. Hopefully I have everything I need, or I will be running back to the hardware store for the millionth time this month. Plumbing is a pain since there are so many different gizmos required just to hook up something.
The only things left to do are seal the floor grout, make all the wood-work and hang it and install the door. Have a bowl of Scrotie-O's on me!
So, after this I will chill for about 6 months and do little projects here and there. Then, who knows. Football season is just around the corner!

Bathroom Revisited
So, let me tell you, it is pretty tough trying to maintain a schedule on this bathroom, and work full time and try to at least spend a few minutes a day with the fam and even relaxing for an hour before bed. I've been coming home at 4 every day, and putting in 2 to 4 hours of work, depending on the goal for that day. Then 12 hour days on the weekends only stopping to eat.
Tonight I put the grout on the shower tiles. Fortunately I believe I can do that in one evening. I have lots of mudding still to do, and I need to cut the floor tiles and have them ready to go by the time the mudding/sanding and first coat of primer is on the walls and ceiling.
Then there is the vanity fiasco. We bought a maple vanity finished in natural wood color on deep clearance. I figured we could sand it and stain it. Well, that has been quite a challenge, let me tell you. We will see if we don't give up and go buy another... yikes.

Bathroom Update
This weekend was tiling weekend. It is quite challenging to line everything up to start since all sides of the tub were slightly sloping, so the first row needed to be cut to fit. The top was the same. Fortunately the walls themselves were very straight so all edges were the same size with one minor exception It took all of Saturday and Sunday just to get the tiles up, and I have yet to do the outer edge with the bullnose tiles (done tonight). The next step is grouting, which will take much less time and should be done in the following two evenings. See Katrina's blog for some pics. I am still working on mudding, which is such a pain. The plan is to have that done this weekend in conjunction with the floor tile, which I should be doing on Saturday. The floor will be much easier than the tub.

Remodeling the Bathroom
Well, the bathroom project is going well. Pictures are available on Katrina's blog (see to the left for a link). The demo took me about 11 hours total which isn't too bad really. Removing the drywall was effort, but relatively easy. Taking out the tub was not to bad either, just some pipe cutting, and the fact that it was about 300lbs were the only difficulties.
The first phase in starting was the electric. I wired up a GFCI circuit with two outlets, and a shower fan and shower light. The fan and light are on one switch. Then there are two over-head can lights, and two wall sconses, each on a dimmer switch. I spent about 3 hours in the attic with itchy fiberglass insulation which is never fun. Total of about 12 hours doing all that. The lighting is terrific.
For the next phase, the tub went in. It wasn't too bad really, just had to put down some more flooring and shim it to the walls and screw it in. The backer board for the tub was pretty easy too. I used a new product called DensShield which is better than Durock. I did the joints with mortor and mesh tape. Next was the drywall. Since there was a lot of stuff to work around, it took me probably 20 hours to get all that in. I did the first coat of mud yesterday, which
is not fun, but it is the hardest coat. I will sand it tonight. Over the next week or so, I will do 3 more coats then it is finished. I won't take any shortcuts with it as I want it to look really nice of course.
So that is where I am at now...
Next I will be tiling the tub, hopefully on Saturday. If all goes as planned, I will lay the tile and be done Saturday, then do the grout on Sunday. Of course I may over-run that time. After that, I will put in the new vanity, which will be stained to match the woodwork. We have a really nice granite top for it, a nice bronze fixture, and also bronze everything else including shower fixtures, door handles, toilet handle, etc.
After that I will tile the floor, which should be easier than the tub. I should have that done the following weekend, then get the new toilet in a day after the grout dries on the floor. Before we put the counter back-splash in, we will paint. We are doing a 3-color fo-paint job, which should be beautiful. The last job, which may drag out for a while is the wood-work, which I am making myself. That will consist of door trim, all-around floor trim, and then crown molding. I figure I can get that done at my leisure. I have spent about 80 hours so far, and figure I have about 60 more to go (and probably 30 more for the woodwork). I figure I will have saved about $10,000 in costs by doing it all myself. I think at the end, it will be a nice wow-factor for the house.
The next project is TBD. I plan on pretty much doing small tasks for the rest of the summer, and probably through football season. If we have the budget for it next year, I might work on the small bathroom. I really want to do our kitchen, but we won't have the budget for that for several years at least. Bummer...

Shhhhh... Dad doesn't know I am posting here!
Hi, I'm Ian! I'm posting on my dad's blog cuz I have some observations which I have made that I want to write about. So, I have been going to church for a year now, and that is a very long time! My whole life! The biggest question I have is, why do we only sing hims and not hers? This week, I figured out why we call them pews... because people sit on them with their stinky butts! I have been putting "in the bathtub" after every him, and let me tell you, that is funny! My favorite now is "Be Ready to Go In the Bathtub" because I certainly am! My cousin pooped in the bathtub once and Grandma caught it. My uncle Demel peed on his head once too. That's all pretty gross! So when they pass the money around, I am just waiting for the right moment to grab it and run! I probably won't get very far, but if I do I am going to give it to my Grandpa so he can buy some new hair. I am always wondering why people have so many questions during the music. They should wait to put their hands up after we sing, the sillies. Then there is our friend Heather. She must have a really important question! Is it just me, or are we singing to a large wooden cross on the wall? Why can't they just put a baby Einstein video on that big screen? That way I would probably stop trying to pull the fat lady's hair in front of me and watch. My favorite time is when everyone bows their heads and the guy up front rambles for a while. That is when I like to talk, sing, and generally make as much noise as possible. Then mommy or daddy will take me for a nice walk around the building. Lately I have to go to the nursery. There I can see other little peeps and play with toys I don't have at home. I keep looking for that door to be open so I can run! Well, that is all I have to say right now, but I will post again when I can sneak onto the computer again.

Music by the Decade
This is my personal synopsis of music by the era:
50's-- Music wasn't invented until the 60's, contrary to popular belief amongst the senile elderly who have delusions that anything before the Beetles was anything more than noise with a few exceptions (I ack Motown as a valid form of music, and Elvis is at least to be respected, and granted a few other rare artists like Mozart, Beethoven, etc did their thing).
60's-- Beetles, Stones, The Who, the Doors, and a slew of other pioneers did their thing. You may not like it, but they invented it. Radios and recording still sound like clock radios do today.
70's-- Early 70's-- I think the bulk of the best classic rock came from this era, including the last years of the great 60's artists... except the rolling stones who are still playing, and are now the the Rolling Geriatrics. Late 70's-- Disco... well, not much good to say about disco. We all like a few songs, but over all the era was really bad. Only a few greats emerged here. Sound quality from recordings and gear in this decade advances to being about as good as it is going to get. Dark Side of the Moon has an unbelievable quality for 1973. The cassette tape enters the picture as the primary medium. Everyone burns their albums.
80's-- Remember the 80's? Neither to I. Really there were several good things going on here, but over all, this has to be the greatest collection of garbage of all time (personal opinion, but a very very popular one). Somehow this seems to be making a resurgence, which to me was about as bad of an idea as bringing back bell-bottoms, or making at 30th anniversary model of the "great" fiery Ford Pinto.
90's-- I think you have to say the 90's was another great decade for music. Grunge came and went, and it is now "classic rock" and still played often on those stations. Country music flourished, and even though I despise it, those who don't tell me that it rose from Box Car Willie to outselling much of the pop world. Can you say Garth Brooks? I won't... Boy bands rise; gag me with a chain saw instead please. Rap music unfortunately rises to stardom as well. R&B flourishes rising out of the ashes of Disco. Techno music is now regarded as a real genre. Thrash metal becomes popular, and rapidly rots away into trash metal. CD's evolve to the primary medium in the early 90's. Everyone throws their tapes away.
00's-- And here was are now. I think there is so much different stuff out there to listen to today, that it is hard to break it down. Also, I am quite out of the popular loop. However what is worth talking about is how the medium has change in this decade, not the music itself. MP3 players, internet downloads, internet radio, satellite radio, Computers are now powerful enough to be your primary medium, and the proliferation control that the big corporate record industry sharks had on what gets played on the radio and released on "record" looses its grip. This results in a huge wave of new artists. My main source of music now is internet radio. www.pandora.com is an amazing way to listen to and discover new music. Basically you can customize your "station" by telling it an artist(s) or song(s) that you want your station to center around. Then the station will play those, and other things like it. You can control what is played, but not when it is played (RIAA requirements). If you don't like something, you "thumbs down" it and it won't get played again. If you like, you "thumbs up" and it will be played again. As you keep doing this, over time it will keep evolving to your tastes. I've been working on a station for about 8 months now, and I love it. I am always hearing new stuff I've never heard or heard of, some good, some bad, but over all it is what I want to hear, and it is always new. Awesome stuff. So, lets put away the crap we have been listening to for years, and embrace this new world at our fingers. What good are CD's anymore?
10's-- For the sake of pure speculation, I can't see music evolving much more. Sure, other forms will come, but they are all too much of a variation on a familiar theme. What hasn't been done? I challenge you to point out something "very" original today. Like good ideas, it has all been done before. The medium however will continue to evolve. In this decade we will move to solid state "hard drives" that are so tiny, you will barely know you have it. You will be able to fit the entire collection of music of all time in your wrist watch. Maybe we will have implants that allow you to listen to music without using our ears by exciting the part of the brain that hears. You will be able to listen (or watch for that matter) anything you want, anywhere you want. It has become more interesting to watch technology evolve than music now. However, the technology will also be the end of us... maybe. That is another post.

Mothers are always your best friend...
Of course that depends on the definition of friend...
This definition implies one who is always there for you, and more specifically, one that is always in your corner on everything, regardless of the facts. Facts or maybe more of a personal interpretation of the subject.
Lets look at a few examples: "Son, you are the most handsome boy in the world". This one is pretty obvious. I am NOT the most handsome boy in the world. Another would be "mom, does this huge bleeding puss leaking zit on the tip of my nose look bad?", "no son, it makes you look more handsome than ever". So, mothers always see their children as being much more than they are. This is ok of course, at least to some degree. Kids need encouragement, and this is a great way to build them up.
This has a side effect as well in that kids will not necessarily always believe anything a mother says in those regards if it is over used. When my mother tells me I am handsome, I completely disregard the statement since I know she would say that if I looked more like a pile of camel dung than I already do.
Continuing with that thought, that begs the question of whether some more honesty might be a better method or not. Maybe a mother should say, "no son, you look like a pile of camel dung", if a child looks like a pile of camel dung. This might better prepare a child for the world in that the child will not have the false pretense that they don't look like a pile of camel dung when they really do. This could set them up for a pretty big let down when they find out.
Regardless, we appreciate our mothers, honest or not. And again, they are being honest, because they really believe it, at least most of the time. They put on the mothers filters, and never take them off. At the end of the day, it is nice to always have that one person that can see you as something other than looking like a pile of camel dung.
What was my point? Not really sure I guess...
TG4 Mothers!

Humans often misinterpret words...
It is so frequent that we say or write one thing, but people see or hear it another way. It is very difficult to use the English language to effectively communicate what we mean due to the language having so much word usage implying many things. However much of our interpretation is actually faulty due to our poor language skills. Even the more proficient people often read/hear things incorrectly, even though the it was written/spoken correctly, and vice versa.
For example, my last post was explaining why I don't have anything to write because to you the reader, it would be boring. My dear Mother interpreted that as my saying I am bored. I am not bored, but reciting my life in a blog post would bore most people. Maybe not my mother, but that is different. I want to tell you that I climbed Mt. Everest and lost 3 arms to the cold, however the closest I can come is telling you about the strawberry pot stand I built. One is exciting, and the other boring... or how about the fact that my nice little sister-in-law likes my Bah-Mee-Hank? Is that exciting? No! Boring! How about this... I am working on a project at work to network figherfighters together. Exciting? NO! BORING!
I have several pics I want to blog about, just need to take the time to surf through the hard drive of photos and get them... more coming soon!

Alright, alright, post-schmost!
For some odd reason, I have nothing to say. When I have nothing to say, I am probably just going to ramble on about nothing for a while. What good does that do? It just wastes your time with nonsensical gibberish about the liberation of bat guano in the northern Swaziland highlands. Speaking of which, the bat guano has been under an imperialistic dictatorship of gag-mites for years, and fighting to over-throw the useless and cruel mites.
So, what has been going on? Well, I am happy to report that I have a wife, a son, I have a job, I have a roof over my head. What else is there? Specifics? Well, I took a shower today, came to work, will go home and play with Ian, play with Katrina, then go to bed. What else is there? NOTHING! Thats it. You all happy now? You want to hear that life is mundane and boring? Do I have to spell it out for you???
Oh, I did think of something, but Katrina already posted that on her blog. What is the point of repeating it?
Wait... scratch all that. XXXX

Where are the pictures. I wanted to see you cooking up some yummy placenta, with a side of links.
p.s you're hot. I like your cool aztec pants you wore on Katrina's blog. Did you just do a rain dance?
