All kinds of win [s]



Jon, Connie, and myself played a couple Settlers matches. We let White Lambda WIN both since it was his bday. He bailed from SoCal (WIN[?]) early because the prospect of being trounced at Axis and Allies cast a grim shadow over his remaining days.



The support structures for the traverse wall came out well with some impromptu assistance from E. The three on the right depict the side that will face the studs, they'll be attached flat against the interior wall because the weld nuts are embedded. They'll never need to be removed, which is good for not turning 2x4s into swiss cheese.

The board on the left is the front side, where hex bolts with fender washers will attach the 1/2" osb such that they can be easily removed and reoriented. I think feature is total WIN.



Rfq and Birdman came over to swim off the chili cookoff gluttony. We broke out the collective equipment (d70 x2, sb800 x2, sb800 hard case, a640 w/ hard case, n80 w/ soft case) and did some pool-entry shots.



The bright, reflective surface was very clutch. We just needed some glowsticks or... well I won't steal Connie's thunder. The spray looks kind of cool lit up against the dark areas, next time we'll need a just-above-water camera with a quicker shutter.



Also seen is the led pool light finally mounted and in full glory.



The turbulance created some cool effects, though it was tough to get recognizable shapes. We'll see how Jes did with the n80. When R gets his arduino flash/camera triggers up and running, we'll have some great possibilities (and warmer water).


I call this one 'Enormous underwater fart'. Chili cookoff, remember?



My citysac came today, WIN. Its four foot diameter perfectly fills the gap between the couch chaises. It is ideal for gaming and movieing, and sits at the convergence of the surround signals.




What the hell New Mexico?

A fine weekend [s]



I tried the other angle and Jon found a football. And then a 2x4. The conflict started with sponges and quickly escalated.







Victors of poker were Jon and Rob.



Quoted:
Floors and beer? I happen to be an expert at one of those. Tune in this weekend to find out which.
I do what I can. And in the least biased manner possible.

Please tell me Renault will bring these to the States.



It's quite eccentric, but from the company that marketed the original mr v6 in a hatch the Megane could be a sharp touring car.

Floors [s]

The flooring has begun. I don't have any shots other than the following:



However, rest assured Jon and Dave have it down to a science. The hallway leading to the master bedroom is done. We'll probably cover a lot of ground tomorrow, so to speak.

Bobby mowed down the remaining junipers, I sealed and tested the shower, and everyone plus Connie finished the fireplace.



And we managed to squeeze in some cards/Chop Stix/boba...



... and a little pool shenanigans.
