I moved from Typepad on Oct. 16th 2009. You don’t have enough time for me to go through the myriad reasons for this. Suffice to say that Typepad is real tacky even after I left.
Here is a current screen shot of the old URL the headlemur.typepad.com
Basically they are sucking every bit of google juice they can. They are also spying on everybody who lands there with a Quantcast cookie as well. You can view source in your browser over there and see for yourself. Using the 1pixel gif dodge.

Before I called the tow company, I borrowed the ex's car, and had the battery checked. It had bad cells and a short under load. Like putting it in gear. Because of that, the sensors went nuts, the check engine light, and the check gauge light lit. The weirdest thing in this whole episode is the battery is usually the last thing to break, because battery technology has advanced to the point that bad cells and shorts are very unusual.
Topped off the fluids, took it for a test drive and am now returning to life as I know it.
My son has a fish thing. He didn't get it from me. I built him a stand a couple of months ago for his 55 gal tank. He just moved north and needed another one.
This is a 30 gal. number. 36 1/2'' wide x16'' deep by 12'' high(16'' with the base)
Simple butt joints with 1 5/8'' deck screws holding it together. Zar wood filler for the screw holes, and three coats of Cabot Satin Poly. using my favorite brush
Inside at the back are two stretchers so he can attach it to the wall. He has number one grandson and number one grandaughter there, both of them exhibiting an inordinate amount of energy. Trust me, tipping over an aquarium never ends well.
It is a plain simple box. I am not ashamed to show my plies. Construction Details: one sheet of Arauco plywood 2 16'' rips cut one top 36 1/2'' x 16'' and 2 10 3/4'' sides out of one rip cut one bottom 36 1/2'' x 16'' and 2 10 3/4'' insides out of one rip rip the remainder into 4'' strips for the base cut 2 @ 36 1/2'', cut 3 10 1/2 pieces for the sides and center. cut 2 stretchers for the back(size depends on how you divide the space)
You get all the pieces out of the two 8' rips with little scrap, and have a piece around 15'' wide left over. Not a 1 sheet wonder like the 55 gal tank, but I will find something to use it for.
Glue, clamp, countersink, and screw together. Fill in holes, Sand, and finish.
TypePad has been a interesting experience in the same way as the chinese curse.”may you have an interesting life. They recently came out with a new version, with all sort of scripty things.
It is not an improvement. Preview is especially bad in Rich Text mode. It gets confused.
TypePad is turning into Microsoft’s Front Page. This is not a good thing.
For those of you that are looking for a blogging tool, look elsewhere. This is not worth the money.
The Guest Bath is painted and ready for tile, fixtures and trim.
The shower area is not primed or painted by direction of the tiler. The tiles are 6×6” in Kohler white which will go from tub to ceiling. The window opening is a little less than 6” so that at the most the tiles will only need a light trim.
The towel shelf is complete, but the plastic is staying until the tile work is finished.
The door was sticking originally. Once I installed shims (there weren’t any) and re squared the opening, the door didn’t stick. I had to replace the entire trim set as the original molding was no longer available.
One of the things that I have discovered is that I work better in a room devoted to my business. I have also discovered that working from home has it’s advantages. Low Rent, Short Commute, and the ability to hang out with my dogs.
This physical/psychological separation helps me to stay on task. The previous world headquarters was completed about 6 months prior to selling that house. Having been in that house for 14 years, time moved a bit differently.
With the damage caused by the storm here a few weeks ago, requiring the replacement of half of the ceilings in casa lemurzone, knowing I would be building a new office, there is no time like the present to do this at the same time.
So I will be enclosing the carport, extending the heating and air conditioning to the new space, adding a subpanel with an isolated ground circuit for power and the computers. A trip to the local York distributor confirmed that my heating/ac unit is large enough to handle the additional load.
My house is currently 850 square feet livable, and the enclosure will add 300 square feet to that. The exterior walls and the ceilings will be 5/8″ drywall, as the joists are at 24″ on center and the additional stiffness as well as the improved 1 hour fire rating will be a plus. The exterior walls currently 3.5″ deep will be expanded to allow for 6″ R 19 fiberglass insulation not only reducing the HVAC load, but also as sound insulation, which is a plus living under one of the landing zones for Sky Harbor Airport.
I will also be adding a roofed awning to the front and the west side of the building which will further help with reducing the heat gain and loss with this addition.
Ya I know that I said that I was too old for this shit, but this will probably my last house and remodeling project. Besides a friend of mine will be on the other end of the drywall.
