I need my kids to call me!

Much less dissolved gases, and slightly less salts and dissolved solids. The gases get driven off and some of the salts and dissolved solids react at the higher temps and some reaction products precipitate out and some are gases and are driven off and some just taste different.

Perhaps the biggest loss in terms of flavor is oxygen, it gets driven off quickly.

This is why you want to make tea with fresh, cool water, not old boiled water. It tastes better if you heat it up just enough to make the tea.

I talked to my father for an hour on the phone last night. That was cool, we had some good laughs. I need to invite him up here to go fishing soon...

I should clarify the Sac Valley contingent can run the 4 bridges...

I has home made tortellini and spinach soup and fresh crusty bread. For dessert I am having some bread dipped in that orgasmic EVOO I got in Chicago. OMFG that shit is good.

Mrs. yooper is refusing the EVOO dipping. She recently started a new exercise and diet regimen and is in it for the long haul. She has decided to forego her addictive foods, which is basically any bread. Once she starts in on some fresh bread she has a hard time being moderate. Me, I can be moderate with just about anything; I'd rather have a tiny portion of something really good rather than eat something "healthy" but not enjoyable.

A distributed half marathon? We can set a start time and run simultaneously all over the country.

I'll have to figure out a route. Late October you say? I can handle that.

[yooper]

2nd time today. ???

[yooper]

So I should just solder this stuff together like so, stepping down the OD?

Late October...



That gives us around 6 months to train.

The countdown clock precise to milliseconds is pretty cool.

I typically run 3-5 miles. It's about that time I go, "What the hell am I doing this for???"

[Cube Dweller]

Oh, my run this afternoon really sucked. About 2.5 miles into it, I hit the wall. Sometimes that happens if I eat junk food shortly before the run, but that wasn't the case today. Only thing I can think of is that it was the first back to back run I've done in a long time and my legs didn't have enough time to recover from yesterday's run with dottir.

Tomorrow I'm cycling at lunch with some buddies. Weds is intervals day :vomit:

According to an affidavit, “Based on information thus far developed in the investigation, it appears, based on 2007 fourth quarter payroll reports, that approximately 76 percent of the 968 employees of Agriprocessors were using false or fraudulent social security numbers in connection with their employment.”

Yes. I would cut the serrated portion off with tin snips to make the solder job easier. You can grasp the Cu piece to remove to clean the screen if needed.

“Source 1” told federal agents that some employees were running a methamphetamine lab in the plant, and were bringing weapons to work. The supervisor confronted a higher-level manager about the drugs, and shortly after was fired.
