Yes, kiddies, you read that right. It's 3:00 AM and the 'Bear is updating his journal. Yippee fucking skippee.

Oh, I wanna clarify a point here. When I said that my part of the bet, if I lost was to give my wife oral sex every morning and evening, I didn't mean it like it was a bad thing. I love doing that, it's the getting up earlier than normal that's a pain in the ass. Oh well, the lengths we men will go to to keep our women pleased. We'll have to come up with more shit to bet on...heeee.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I had to tell you about this. You've got to check this contraption out. I'm sure Anenigma would love to have it for her next camping trip, or Uncle Bob would like to have it handy for his next barbecue. Anyway, here it is!

Yes, I know what you're saying. "It's a blender." But it's not just any blender. Click on the pic and take a look at the larger image, then come back here. See anything odd? If you said, that it's powered by a chainsaw motor, you'd be right. Some crafty person took a chainsaw apart and hooked up a blender mechanism to it. The handle on the left has the trigger on it to adjust the speed. Sadly, it only has one setting, but it makes great margaritas. One of the writers for AVweb, Dr. Brent Blue, had his 50th birthday party yesterday (actually, Tuesday) and they were using it to make margaritas. Handy little contraption. No need to look for outlets or worry about extension cords. A must for any alcoholic.

Well, today's been ok. I got through most of my work faster than I did last night. Still have a problem with the photo gallery, though. I can come up with goofy or humorous captions to the photos, but we've had requests that, on the larger versions, we tell what the photo is of. For example if it's a picture of a P-51 Mustang, we say so and maybe give a bit more info on that specific plane. Well, my problem is that I know shit about all these planes. Sure, I'm a pilot, sure I can fly the Katana or a Cessna 150, and I know the regs and shit, but this is tough. It's like walking through a car show that has cars that were made back in the early 1930's to models that are produced today and knowing everything about them. Believe it or not, a lot of the AVweb staff can do that, but with planes, not cars. Anyway, it's annoying and it slows me down. Gonna have to study my airplanes a bit more.

Well, I'm finished with my work and I'm starting to wear down so I'm going to finish here. I'll see about doing another update later tonight if I have a break or something. Take care all of you and remember....the 'Bear loves ya. Really I do.
