Dinner tonight....

Salad

Grilled Chicken with a random "Garlic Italian" marinade I made up

Fresh Grilled Corn wrapped in foil with tony's and butter

Fresh Asparagus cooked in olive oil on the stove

You don't need foil for corn, for god's sakes you live in Tx. It comes in a perfect grilling wrapper, just remove the hairs, soak the whole husk in water and plop them whole on the grill. When done you can unwind the leaves and you have a free handle.

Since you are grilling, grill the Asparagus too. Roll it in Olive oil first and either salt/pepper or Cajun season it and grill as well. It only takes a few minutes and a little blackness on it is good eats.

ANY woman who would cheat on her man, ESPECIALLY if he is a soldier is a fucking low down dirty snake of a human being.

Just did asparagus like that on Monday. Made a dijon sauce to top it off with, heaven.

Niki,

I think you missed a bit of the point of Matt's comment...either that or I did. I took it as when he met someone who has returned from service that is a douchebag that he would then return the favor by telling him he'd lose his girl.

All of us here have a lot of respect for Jordan, Rich and even people we don't know who are serving our country in the Middle East; however, the respect can of course be altered when the person you are respecting doesn't prove worthy of the respect and does everything the opposite of how it should be done.

And indeed Kudos to the infantry, they all have more balls than I do

Oh, and to SSA!

I took it similarly to Niki here man............And thats that Matt would be the one "tending to" or "being chased by" the guys woman...........Now me personally I see where Niki is coming from man. and I agree with her. ANY woman who would cheat on her man, ESPECIALLY if he is a soldier is a fucking low down dirty snake of a human being.

And Sean, I do see ur point of respect. That it IS a 2 way street, and u gotta keep the respect u get and earn more as you go.

I just know that after 15 mths of the bs over there, and everything else if ANYONE has a reason to act like a douche from time to time it is a soldier returning from over seas. Thats just my opinion tho.

I'll answer for Matt.

His point was only geared towards douchebags. Not someone who acts like anyone occasionally as we will all agree that in particular when you return you definitely get some "be a douche free cards" as only you and a higher power actually know what you went through, but nonetheless there are some that return and constantly and consistently act like douche bags. I have actually met a few myself. Matt's comment was 100% geared towards treating them like they are treating the world and that is to incite them in a direct and personal manner. ie, eff you when your gone I'll bang your ho. Obviously it works. His goal wasn't to do it, but to return the favor of captain dipshit right to him.

We all also agree that if a woman wants to cheat...well Niki nailed it. As the Afro's sang it, "you gotta let a ho be a ho".

I see the whole back and forth as you and Niki reading that Matt wants to treat all soldiers that way and his intention was completely to only be a dick to those who deserve it.

Again, I have nothing but respect for the part of your life you gave for us and don't see how anyone could feel differently. Enough so that if you needed to piss on a few people including myself it is okay and understandable, but like everything in life at some people take that way too far and those are the only people that were being discussed.

Didn't know you were in Lethbridge, how's the wind?

P.S. Next June, the girl & I plan on driving through that way on our way to Victoria.

I hate the wind. I really, really hate the wind The town itself is alright - I have a good position at the University so I can't complain and won't be going anywhere for at least three years.

Next June ... I should be here unless I am away for vacation/conference/research. Are you staying on Highway 3 all the way through into BC or going North after Lethbridge? I might pop up in Saskatoon for a conference at some point in the future.

Plan is to take the south way all the way to Hongcouver.

Dijon sauce is good I am a big sucker for a Hollandaise type sauce on Aspergrass, but regularly will plop some raw mustard in it when I do that as well.

Dinner for me involves homemade pizzas and some Stanley Cup action. The dough is rising rather slow though and I am getting teh hungries.

[///M5 2,833]

Amusingly, I made aspargus last night, but I did it Texas style (ie on the smoker instead of the grill). It was fired up from the rack of ribs I had on for 5 hours.

Who else doesn't bother to get by the first post of a build log thread when you notice it is a mini-van??

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

does anybody know why my shoulder hurts a lot? It's like a nagging thing, not a sharp pain but dull and irritating and zaps all my motivation. It's kinda right in the middle of my shoulder. Not up top on that muscle connecting to the neck, but just under it. I've felt it or some lesser version of it for the last few months. I'm wondering if it's because my right arm is propped up on the computer desk all day at work now, since I've started working full time at this place in January.

Stop jerking it so much? :hay:

he he yeah, I kinda got the corn with that intention then changed lol. For the asparagus though I semi-prefer the control and eveness of the stove for cooking. Its also a good change from everything "tasting" grilled.

By the way everything turned out delicious. Corn ate perfect, asparagus was a good "soft/crunchy" and the Chicken was still good and tender (something I usually don't pull off when grilling meat)

Chemistry???

What's your scientifical explanation to why every object has a gravitational attraction to one another?

[audio-neon 34]

So......the lesson of the day is that 30% HCl stings a little.

LOL... 110% HCL doesn't sting. Depends on molarity.

Have you ever driven out that way?

If I am heading back around that time we'll caravan.

And yes don't worry there will be pictures from this weekend. Picture wh0res.

Well I appriciate ur sentiments Sean, as I am sure Niki does too. I now understand what Matt was trying to convey a little bit more.

Personally I try not to be a douche. Does it happen from time to time? Yes unfortunatly it does, but I give it my all to keep that to a minimum.

Now if I have been more of a douche at times especially since coming home, I opologise to those who have recieved that treatment. (and I didn't take anything implied to say that I have been).

All i know is right now for me the hardest 2 things for me are:

A) Not being able to live wherever i want and move at my desire

B) The lack of money this job pays. Yes SOME of the perks are nice, but there just are not enough of them to keep a person in decent $$$ or a comfortable life when home.
