I got a second free can of maple syrup.
Enjoying solitude for a change. And peace. Eating junk food for a change (i do that VERY rarely, if ever, anymore), reading "the flowers of evil", while i am wondering how the bastard coworkers of mine fare in their sh*thole of a lab and a ton of workload flooding them.
15 Orc chieftains asked to join me right at the beginning of Crag Hack's HOMM3 campaign, in The Shadow of Death. And if that's not enough, the witch hut that they were guarding taught me basic logistics! And when I thought things couldn't get any better, 21 wolf raiders also asked to join me immediately after!! Seriously, who needs the diplomacy skill? :D
Each month, my kid's school sends him home with some paper silhouettes for him to decorate for a class bulletin board. This month was raindrops, as in April showers bring May flowers. I had some old copper flashing in the basement, so we cut out some raindrops using tin snips. I thought my son would enjoy hammering different screwdriver heads into the copper to make cool patterns. Then, of course, we'd drop in coke or something else to make them shiny.

Turned out the copper was harder than expected, so he was only able to make quite shallow dents in it. We visited my dad looking for something else to use as a punch, and he instead annealed all our raindrops with a torch. It made them super soft, and now I expect we won't have any problem hammering patterns into them.

How is it that dads know everything, yet I'm a dad and I don't?

Matewis: Crag Hack's HOMM3 campaign
I remember the first Might and Magic manual. One of the characters in the screenshots was CRAG THE HACK. I don't know its significance, but it was nifty to see the name again in your post.

Me too, although Proudspire Manor has some serious bugs. It's still a cool place though, and what a great view! :)

Proudspire Manor (even though more like an estate, really)! Wow, what a great name! I knew it had to be a fancy one and i like it! Seriously though, sometimes, vacation in it is good for anyone, once in a while!

I think he is like the Minsc of the HOMM series :) Weak on power and knowledge, but insane on offense and defense
My pilonidal cyst is finally gone and i didn't need it to be lanced or operated so... at least for a while i don't have to worry about that (and hopping that it doesn't return). Besides that, a band (breaking benjamin) that i use to listen when i was younger is back and i'm actually enjoying the new song, so yey?
I cancelled my The WItcher 3 preorder! Yay! It was too fishy and similar to other services' (pre)sales pattern to keep calm and fandom GoG (as usual), about it. Let's hope this does not become a trend here, after this game is out.

I found out that one of the recent updates to Wine - a little while ago, 1.7.37, was it? current is 1.7.40 - made Origin work again. So I removed my Crossover Origin bottle (Crossover, though fairly decent, is nearly always a bit behind) and made one through PlayOnLinux instead. Then I bought Dragon Age II for about 5€ and used that to confirm that it worked. Now I can successfully download and install those damned games. I've missed Dragon Age: Origins and Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.

Clearing the floor in the kids' room. I mean, even making parts of the carpet visible was an achievement....

And ninja gifting :-P

The sun finally shinning all day long.
On a tight schedule to install a machine. Brought in a colleague to make it go quicker and we work really well together. Customer seems happy with the progress and it looks like we'll be finished Saturday <cross fingers>
and will not have to work Sunday to meet the Monday deadline. If it runs right and training goes well then I hope to be headed back home Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning.
