      I have to say, it's a bad thing. It wreaks all kinds of havoc on the old bod.

      I had to quit all caffeine so I could sleep again… It took 2 weeks of raging headaches to get the caffeine out of my system, but I sleep better now. I have heard they say it helps to turn the lights down, computer & TV off about an hour before bed time…

  2. Outta the blue, my neighbor just called and says that she and "several" other riders want saddle scabbards....so apparently, I'm now in the Western gear business.

      I hate how I can't se the whole window when writing a comment. Any help on this? I ment PEX

      Write it in a word document and then paste it into the window - or stretch the main window way out until you can see all of it. You know, take your pointer and put it in the top right corner of the main window and slide it almost all the way over to the left and then put the pointer in the lower right corner and open the window all the way to the right... then you can see all of this window. Then just put everything back where it belongs when you are done... :)

      I have tried the window drag, but the window stays small on the right. As to the piping, mine sprung another leak. Vacuumed up about 100 gallons, and have fans running to dry the basement out. luckily it is close to 100 now, so it is drying fast.Had other plans for the weekend than fixing plumbing.

  4. Going to work with a tropical storm inbound...weeeeeeee!

      Well,the whole thing shifted west a bit....nwo we're only getting the outer bands with a TS warning...sheesh, I've seen moonlight that was harsher than this. Yet, everyone else seems to have gone insane.

      Good, glad you are safe and hopefully won't see the worst of the storm.

  5. Just a reminder folks...we decided that since there are so many places on the internet for the discussion of politics... LW.net shouldn't be one of them. This may be a downside to linking the updates with Facebook..we're sidestepping our own rules when 'updates' auto-post from an external source.

      At least you can click on the X on the right side of "Recent Facebook Activity" and that will close up the list so you can't see it :) That's cool!

      I had to take mine in to the factory to get it back to stitching correctly. Ben got it going in about 45 minutes. I'm not sure anyone else does that kind of factory service.

      May God bless,

      No no, Just integrate over the the area of interest. Then use the modified Hamiltonian to find the new energy value. Compare it to the previous one and determine if you have achieved self consistency.
