Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'll let you know by Monday iffen I can't find one
Kewl. Ours is a newer model, so it's not amazingly heavy.
AND, FTR, it's too damn cold this morning. 48F is just wrong.
HA!! Pffffft. It's on record as being -7 here, with a "feels like" of -24. I'll bet it's actually more like -14. And no snow to insulate any of it. I mock your 48F. (But with love, and much envy.)

It's like 10 here. I was all excited, thinking, "Finally, it feels like winter for once." Winters in Chicago usually feel too mild to me.
Slide projectors are so 1970s and I can't find one at my school to use and I don't want to buy one.
Heh. I have a standard slide projector (bought in the 70's), so when we found a stack of slide carousels of my grandfather's slides amongst my late aunt's belongings, I took them home to sort through them all. I didn't take the projector, because I already had one. Turns out these carousels are from a time before slide carousels were standardized. None of them fit my projector. I have to pull them all out and transfer them to my old carousel to view them.
My microwave oven just died. It started making funny noises, and I look to see big clouds of smoke coming from the kitchen. So I have the windows open and a fan blowing the smoke outside, despite the cold temperature....
Tommyrot, have you done anything with this?
Generally that symptom means that a piece of food or some other material has gotten inside the small flexible screen over the magnetron inside of your microwave.
If you look in there, you can sometimes take off the screen, clean off the screen by scrubbing the charred stuff off, and put it back in. Then test the microwave briefly with a piece of bread or something else which you would be able to 1. find out if it still smokes or 2. find out if it works.

Our public library lends them out. But then, we're usually about 30 years behind out here in the midwest.

Naw, I was gonna throw it away. The smoke that was comming out had a burnt plastic smell to it. So there must be something going on besides food burning.

So this is all your fault, then. So noted.

Heh. Must be my Finnish blood. Which would also explain my fondness for vodka.
So we got our snow last night, and now it is raining. This bodes ill for locomotion of any kind. I'm hoping it will have stopped this nonsense by tomorrow.
Yes, I'm at work today, and we're in for a half day tomorrow. Then I fly. If the planes are going up and down in a reliable way.
Heh. My Finnish blood is going "It could be warmer." I mean, it's bearable, but I prefer 10 to 15 degrees warmer and snow.
Vodka is hit or miss with me. I love some of it and hate others. Though I haven't done enough testing to know which brands I like.
