  1. RT @evilchili just traded a laptop for barbecue. this is winning.
  2. Minivan emptied, champaign toasted, neighbors greeted, brinner served, park enjoyed, kids crashed, PJs on. Welcome back, @carriekirby
  3. California!
  4. Phil Hartman stars in Kiki's delivery service, in my minivan.
  5. Wireless hotspots only work where there is cell phone coverage. It's more spotty than you might imagine.
  6. Next stop, Yellowstone. For now, chilling with @carriekirby with beers and watching Dog Day Afternoon.
  7. So cold tonight at the badlands KOA, we're huddled in the laundry area next to the dryers using the wifi.
  8. So, it turns out the best Walleye fish fry isn't at the Sunnyside in Kenosha, WI - it's in my sister's backyard in northern MN. #nomnomnom
  9. Ready to admit I am wrong. I could be a minivan owner, as long as it has a leather interior, sun roof, backup camera, dvd player.
  10. If you're a business nice enough to receive a fax for us, please don't turn around and tell us you can't send a fax for us.
  11. At the Ingalls homestead in De Smet, SD today. Seen: a foal, an 1890's pedal organ from Oak Park, and a red van painted up with UW logos.
  12. Toth saw a horse pee and poop today. He was amazed. Life lessons.
  13. Camping, raking coals, stars out, slight breeze. Kids asleep, red wine in hand.
  14. @evilchili lol, maybe you won't be tempted to bring any back with you now? Now you can compare Milwaukee roasting against the highest bar.
  15. Leaving a comment on a github msysgit repo commit? I guess I can try that. Will anyone care? #treefallsintheforest
  16. Time lost repairing my local git. Strawberry perl set TERM=dumb. Please, don't. Also, msysgit: you are using msys term. Please override.
  17. Screw this tech support, I'm going to drink a bevvy and park in front of some SNL with my @carriekirby
  18. Manage to download the bios as an exe, extract it on a mac, get it onto a portable hd I barely found the cable for. Q-flash, you defeat me.
  19. All this fiddling with gigabyte p55 ud2 bios settings, it never uses DVD to boot. Nor disable the HD boot. Cached settings? But where? How?
  20. Win7 says it's corrupt and needs the original windows disc. Found the disc in the wreckage of my home, bios won't boot from dvd. Derp.
