I haven't posted in forever.

A couple weeks was out to dinner with some folks from work and a friend, and we were discussing coffee. Somehow we ended up talking about Greek coffee.
"Turkish coffee, you mean."
"No, GREEK coffee."
"Well it sounds a lot like Turkish coffee."
"Where do you think the Turks got it from?" *Angry glare*
"I'm sorry, Nick, please don't ruin my life."

That just made my day.

I spent the 4th of July in Wamego with my buddy Kyle. They have the largest hand-fired fireworks show in the midwest. In addition, we blew up about $120 in fireworks at Kyle's family's house, and burned a whole bunch of jet fuel that I brought with me. Fantastic time.

Have you ever had a friend that you would totally be all up ons if you had the opportunity? Better yet, have you ever had a friend that would be all up on you if she had the opportunity? Its a little strange when a friend acknowledges that in the course of regular conversation.

Thanks to my influence, Efthimios has a rockstar new car: a 2003 Volvo S80-T6. Pearl white with a tan leather interior. Its a sweet ride.

Allwyn and I fixed the screen on the Talon robot's operator control unit. Someone smashed the old one. We were told it would cost $5000 to replace, but Allwyn managed to find the exact part for $230 and we installed it ourselves. We then proceeded to have a victory drive all over the Lawrence Airport, during which we blew a tread off about a half mile away from where we were controlling it. Oh well. Allwyn put it back on and I drove it back.

So an old friend that [I suppose] decided I was too much temptation to continue talking to moved away without ever saying goodbye. Good riddance to bad rubbish I guess.

Alright, thats enough for this post. Until next time...
