The fuse blew on the oven when my wife ran the self cleaning cycle.
The door is locked shut.
To unlock the door, I need to hold down one of the buttons on the control panel.
To get the control panel to work, I need to change the fuse.
To change the fuse, I need to open up the control panel.

When I visit Brazil, people think I'm French.
When I was in England during the first part of 2000, I had several people come up to me and start speaking Dutch. I understand German a little, so could parse enough to explain I wasn't Dutch. Though in all cases, they spoke English. According to DNA results, I mostly match German & Dutch.

Hey man, um... you, uh, think you could get me into that club sometime?
Act polite and don't be insane. It's not like you have to actually know any canadian to pass as one in the US...
Don't worry LL, we're just trying to emulate the good stuff and not do anything US like while in disguise.

I remember when traveling abroad, saying "I'm Canadian" would sometimes be helpful to not have to explain some USA insanity. Now, I'm starting to say it in the states.

Package has been found. Was delivered to neighbor. Now just waiting for two more power bits, and find out from the builder why we have the wrong sex plug for input. Hopefully he'll sort that out tomorrow and we'll have our tiny house livable.
And yes, he delayed again. Will be here Saturday. I've worked on vaporware projects with better deliverables.

We finally have our tiny house about seven months later than expected. I don't want to learn towing 10,000 lbs in the winter...
It's also very ironic hearing the builder gripe about how the wood stove supplier was late on delivery. (If he had ordered the damn thing when we cut the check in April, maybe it wouldn't have been so late?)
Couple things still need to be done which the builder is allegedly coming out on Wednesday to do, so we might be able to at least move into it Thursday. Thankful for good friends that have let us stay here since May.
Oh, and cranky bit with Amazon, or at least one shipper. They claim to have dropped off a package at 5:30pm last night. I was working on the house, so would have noticed if a delivery vehicle had come by at that time...

Voted for Terraforce since I think it would be the most fun, second place would be Baddest Blood, though I think super villains being related was incredibly common in our group.

Went thru and switched nearly everything email related to off. And added another user that's a bit more active to test with. I expect success this time.
Greywind, make sure to turn all the email switches to off lower down. There are 19 of them, though I'm leaving a couple of mine on. (I figure if someone messages me here directly, I can respond...)
Ok, since I'm still getting notifications when I login here as expected, but none of those resulted in email, this was definitely the cause for me getting a few emails. So, yay!

House stuff is seven months late, but I might be able to pick the house up next Monday Nov 13. And of course it's now snowing. I really wanted getting used to the trailer during the summer.

Ah, site upgrade might be the cause of something I jut noted.
Hadn't been on here for months, but just recently I started getting email from here telling me of some of the people I follow posting articles or replying.
We'll see if my latest try on not getting emails works. (Hadn't bothered to scroll further down to note more options, my bad.)
p.s. New version looks good.

Not sure if I'm back, just coming around for a quick checkup.
Just hanging out in Portland for another month, though setting up our residency for Oregon so that we have some sort of address. Will be staying in the Seattle area for about a month while the tiny house gets finished, and then hitting the road, probably end of May or in June.

It's been raining non-stop in Portland it seems. (Like usual)

I have a question for Bernie Sanders supporters which is most people here.
Early in the campaign there was talk about the possibility of Sanders winning the popular vote and Clinton using her tight relationship with the super delegates to "steal" the election from him. This was something that many Sander's supporters thought Hillary might attempt to do since she was viewed as being corrupt and amoral.. After tomorrow's primaries even if Sanders has a really good day, he is still going to be at least 200 pledged delegates and 2.5 millions votes shy of Clinton's totals. Despite this, Sanders and his campaign team have been saying that they plan on going to the convention and attempting to get enough super delegates to flip his way in order to overcome his shortage in pledged delegates.
How do you people feel about this?
I would have preferred Sanders, however I'll wind up voting for Clinton because I see her terms to be functionally equivalent to Obama. Everything bad would get rubberstamped by a republican, and some good will happen.
And I don't have my backup plan of having a cross country vehicle capable of fending off hordes of mutants ready yet.

Have now changed location from Southern Utah (Kanab) back up to Portland, Oregon.
Last Monday, got the moving truck and lots of people helped pack it with two expert Tetris masters getting everything in.
Only hiccups was the crate I was packing my computer room stuff into got put on the truck before most of the computers were put in the truck, and some loose parts got put in other boxes and onto the truck. (And then the final packing of the computer room was still to be done.) Wasn't a huge deal then, but made the setting up the computer room smoothly at the destination more difficult.
Tuesday morning, woke up to snow on the ground and bad weather from Kanab to Boise. Truck was heavy enough, that the snow didn't really matter much, but at least in Utah, it seemed if we hit the wrong type of bump, the truck would go into a weird harmonic dance that felt like the truck would tip over. Figured out how to spot the road conditions that caused that and slowed down when needed...
Got into Boise around 9pm, took off early the next morning and drove thru very nice weather arriving in Portland around 2pm. A bit early for the landlord, but his son was able to let us into the apartment. And since most of my friends work, I did most of the unloading. A few showed up and we got the truck done at 8pm.
Thursday was return the truck, run some errands including getting a new phone. (I now have a "smart" phone). Friday, I drove to San Diego for my cousin's wedding on Saturday. Today, I'm having an early dinner with friends, then driving back to Portland part way tonight, and finishing tomorrow.
I think Tuesday will be an all sleep day...

I enjoyed it, but the scenario could have done with more play testing before publishing.
