Yo, Saturday night, waddup lounge lizards.
What are you up to this evening.
Say whatever is on your mind. Movies, what you're eating, whatevs.
I'm chillin' after a busy week. Some friends came by and gave me a bottle of wine. They were just traveling in India. She's an artist and I let her ship a package of her art to me here while she was away. He's a filmmaker and showed me some stuff he shot there. It was fun hanging with them for a while. Now I'm home alone the rest of the evening.

Par-TAY! 
It's really scary. 
but the lightning has been horrendous in this storm. Already lost power once, and I don't have a UPS for my desktop (Uninterrupted Power Supply.)
I do get to listen to the steady waterfall off of the flat roof, and the occasional chirp of frogs now that things are settling down 
How do you determine the wattage size for your needs?
Even though it's rare for the power to go out here (I live right next to a high-power right of way) it will still dip, which can be worse for some things, like motors.
Hope you enjoy yours to the point of forgetting you have it!
in the frequently asked questions section. I ordered the one that was listed as number one bestseller. In the comments sections there's some descriptions of what people are running. For me, I didn't want to pay more that fifty bucks. Some comments suggest just running computer and monitor off it. It only runs for a few minutes after the stoppage. But what it does, what I wanted, is it lets you know via beeps to shut your computer down. And it protects your power box and computer from short circuiting. So, that should fulfill my immediate needs for a small price. Thanks. And I hope you find a good solution as well.
I should be writing an OP on one of them, but I'm wiped out. And my event photos were pretty bad, so there's that, too. 
That is some amazing photography, humanizing that man and his son. So cool that you know him. I can't thank you often enough for your work with veterans. I won't stop, man. I will keep thanking you. Doooood! 
And I'm happy to share the view from here.
For any event or occasion, no matter how many news articles there are, it always seems to mean more to hear from one of our own DUers on the scene. I certainly enjoy that and find it meaningful, so I try to share my perspective on local events whenever possible. Preferably telling the story with personal photos--if they come out halfway decent.
We had this strange weather last month and I am still dealing with a stupid compression bandage on my leg so I only today got my little bag-ofwater-on-some-sticks (intex wallyworld) pool opened up. found a condom for my leg and got in to do the vacuuming and even did some laps!
We are going to cook some burgers on the grill and I may have a beer, but I bet I crash by 8.
edit - 
yes I am tired. it is now Sunday.
I decided to back off asking for votes because, sheesh, this thing could go on for weeks! And I don't want to annoy anybody. Besides, other people here have lots more critical needs for which to ask help. I may pick back up with it just to give everybody an update. ACIDIC is STILL holding its own in the Top Ten - Five weeks running by now! Mighty proud of them!
Thank you again, lovemydog!
