I just received notice today that my construction loan for my home remodel has been fully funded!  I've still got a long road ahead but have the loan money available takes a huge weight off my shoulders.

Awesome. Now blow it all on IH gear

[Clint_D]

Ha!  I don't think the bank would be too happy about that.  I'm just hoping I can get through this without any major cost overruns.  I'll be happy if I can get through this without having to unload any of my IH gear.

How long is the drive, Finn?

So every year, thousands of drunk idiots from around the world come to Pamplona, Spain to run with the bulls.  Every year there are injuries ranging from bruises to massive wounds from being gored by the horns.  Almost all of the victims are visiting from the US, UK, Ireland or Australia.

The typical Spanish newspaper rates the danger of a morning run based upon the cumulative centimeters of wounds suffered by the runners.  I don't think the length of the wound is really the issue with this one:

A 35-year-old American man from Cleveland, Ohio, who was gored by a bull Saturday was recovering "favorably" from a "rectal perforation" that affected his abdomen and a kidney, said a Navarra Hospital statement.

I'm guessing he forgot the lube…

well i had to drive to customs which is like 45minutes in the other direction, so all in all i think it's gonna take like 4.5-5h today…still driving, well standing in a traffic jam is more what I'm doing now
then another 35min. until I am on site...gonna be a long ass day today!

happy to know though, that i now have two new pairs of boots that are going to cheer me up at the end of the day

I wish this would happen to every single one of those imbeciles.
