6 CommentsI ordered a full Dewalt drill bit set off of Amazon.com on Friday for 40 dollars.
I happened to RE-check the item this morning to find that it was now being offered for 30 dollars.
one quick e-mail later, and I’m getting a $10 credit to my account.

Authored by: mike d.This past weekend was great. I got plenty of guitar practicing time in and saw a handful of people that I haven’t seen in awhile. Including Kate from Ohio.
Ohio is a slippery state. Only recently have I really understood where Ohio is. It’s common knowledge that New England residents have a view of the United states that is kind of like this:
well, it turns out Ohio is right about in the middle of WEST-ish. if you’re curious. it’s highlighted in Pink here.
Anyway, a great idea was spawned this weekend. The ON-DECK car.
I’m going to begin looking for a new car to have as a backup for when the acclaim dies. I would continue to drive the acclaim, and then if anything ever happened to her I would have car #2 to save my butt. This is great for all sorts of reasons. Mainly, I’d be able to put some serious research and hunting into my quest for a new car and would never have to buy out of necessity. Also, having a back up car would allow me time to work and improve the acclaim when something went arry… perhaps resulting in many extra months or years of operation.
Remember when Andy broke down on the side of the road, walked to a dealership and immediately bought a new car? That’s what i’d like to avoid. So if you know of any great car deals, let me know!

Authored by: mike d.Yesterday we cooked the 18lb turkey.
In fact, we made an entire dinner. Kate from Ohio was visiting and JonAbad and I have had a hampering for a giant cook-off, so it only seemed natural for us to assault the turkey that had quietly been taking residence in our freezer for the past four months.
Our fatal flaw came with the gravy.
I didn’t want to follow Fanny Farmer’s advice (in retrospect… this was exceptionally stupid) so instead we just used the fat and juices that came off the turkey… added some cream and flour and poured it on top of our dinners.
it was terrible. Fatty burned residue that is still able to foil my mouth with unfortunate tastes after two teeth brushings, flossings, and flourides.
Thankfully, the rest of the dinner came out great. Including two pumpkin pies, greenbeans up the wazoo, stuffing, biscuits, mashed potatos (curtosy of the Kitchen aid), and of course tons of meat.
So, if you’re in the area and find yourself aching for some turkey, stop on by the House of Rock.
