[Thanksgiving threadjack]
spacey, have you already got your motorcycle permit/license? Have it from before? Need one in Utah?
You're obviously off on Friday. Do other people here have to request it off, or is it a given?
It has never been a given for me, I have always had to work the day after Thanksgiving.(health care).
What in the *fudge* is a swamp cooler?

Most businesses with office type environments I've worked for are off. My wife's school is off friday as well. When she was in retail she worked that friday of course. I've never worked the day after Thanksgiving. No *goshdarn* clue what a swamp cooler is though. |

I had a motorcycle endorsement years ago, but I let it lapse, so I have to re-test with the DLD to get another. I'm currently riding on a temporary permit, based on successful completion of the written portion of the exam, until I'm comfortable enough with this big ass bike to go take the skills test. The alternative to taking the skills test on my bike is that I made an agreement with my wife to take a MSF course in the spring, of which successful completion will allow me to wave the skills portion of the endorsement test. I am off friday, but it is not a paid holiday. It will count as a personal day, and I will be paid out of my PTO bank. I didn't have to "request" it off, so much as just schedule it on my calendar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp_cooler |

Evaporative air conditioner. Good for something like 20* of cooling at our altitude and humidity. Useless in a lot of places such as AZ (too hot) and the SE/East Coast (too humid). Often upgraded to modern HVAC units these days.  |

Wow, completely disagree with the Wikipedia notion that a swamp cooler will work in Phoenix. Maybe if you had one per room. They just can't cool to 75* when it's 110* outside. No way.

I agree. I find that ours works fairly effectively within the 70° to 85° range. Much hotter and it just makes the house muggy. This is precisely why we're scrapping it in favor of central air conditioning. |

(yup on the bundle) didnt post about it yet. waited in line at clive's favorite place (walmart) from 10pm till midnight. got it about 12:15 (#12 in line, only 17 units available for x360 ... 16 total lined and sold when i left... only 4 for psuck3 and all sold ) got home about 1245, assembled it by 100, played it till 430 or 500 am.    ps, if you want it, i suggest you start looking now. it will be the 'shortage product' and ebay *trollop* of this holiday season. |

So it's my fault nobody else read the memo?
I don't know, seems like there are too many rules in today's society. Yet I just can't pull off the brooding rebel thing at all. This is how people become alcoholics and cross-dressers IMHO.  "What do you want from me?!" |
