00:17 rue_house maude is locked in and she's not happy about it
00:17 Lolly8088 did she try to make a run for it?
00:17 rue_house na
00:19 Lolly8088 why is she locked in?
00:19 rue_house its night
00:19 rue_house I keep them in at night
00:19 Lolly8088 oooh right. the nastys come out at night.
00:20 Lolly8088 is that neighbour cat giving her anymore greif or do you think it was raccoons that caught her ear?
00:20 rue_house on positives, I got a roll of wire I need, took the welding bottle back (here is hoping I dont need it now) and the wheelbarrow tire is fixed
00:20 rue_house not sure
00:21 rue_house I got more sand to the greenhouse for the floor
00:21 Lolly8088 YaY! I got a lot done at the house today, Jess and kids were here all day, she made us dinner and I cleaned and we had a great time together.
00:21 rue_house cool
00:21 Lolly8088 how hard is it to fix the tamper?
00:21 rue_house maybe wan't a good day for me over to work on garden then ?
00:22 Lolly8088 Any day is a good day. :)
00:22 rue_house I have to selelct another motor and put it on, a few hours
00:22 Lolly8088 we were orig going to garden all day together, but we didn't make it out of the house
00:22 rue_house it was mostly a good day to be out
00:23 Lolly8088 so much to do inside, but her kids occupied my kids and she made this amazing tammale pie and we ate the first snips of her baby greens
00:23 Lolly8088 it was
00:23 Lolly8088 AMAZING.
00:23 rue_house :)
00:24 Lolly8088 Oh, and lijah did not take a nap.
00:24 Lolly8088 at all
00:24 rue_house I usd two of the muffins for counterweights on the tamper
00:24 Lolly8088 hh eheh eh Yay for Muffins!
00:24 rue_house :)
00:24 Lolly8088 would you say today was a write off with some good stuff thrown in?
00:25 rue_house yes
00:25 rue_house :)
00:25 Lolly8088 well can I kidnap you tonight?
00:25 rue_house !! I still need to work on robotics! I almost have the arm fully going!
00:25 rue_house :S
00:26 Lolly8088 buUut... today was a writeoff... sooooo...
00:26 Lolly8088 :D
00:26 rue_house I want to show you it dance
00:26 rue_house that board we made runs it better than anything has yet
00:26 Lolly8088 oh good
00:27 Lolly8088 and the code you wrote before, it's still working with what you're writing now
00:27 Lolly8088 ?
00:27 rue_house thats what I have to find out
00:27 rue_house I need to insert the code that runs the board in place of the code that ran them before without a board
00:28 rue_house the computer was doing it direct before
00:28 rue_house it did a terrible job
00:28 Lolly8088 heh
00:30 rue_house its an easy change, I just need to sit down and focus on the two programs for a bit to understand them both at once for just a moment, then write the translation
00:30 Lolly8088 you still have to eat, and shut things down and take the truck to bobs, and get picked up... by the time all that happens and you make a tea and try to sit down and focus... you'll be shot... so you should come here and be shot rather that be there and be shot.
00:31 rue_house this is a good argument
00:31 Lolly8088 I should have been a lawyer.
00:31 rue_house I'm just resettig for a moment
00:31 rue_house right now
00:32 rue_house let me get you a pic of the tamper while I reset
00:32 Lolly8088 Yay!
00:40 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/robots/arm4/p1050041.jpg

00:41 Lolly8088 It's really really hard.
00:44 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/images/tamper.jpg
00:44 Lolly8088 boingy boingy boingy
00:45 rue_house I cant wait to see how it works, I was on my way up to the greenhouse when it started smoking
00:46 rue_house so the neighbours are kinda luckey on that one

00:48 rue_house http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/images/digiclock.jpg

01:05 rue_house damnit damnit
01:05 rue_house mikey just came in, his tail is LIMP he has a few gouges out of him,
01:05 rue_house THIS is why I bring them in
01:05 rue_house ARG
01:06 rue_house I shouldn't ahve let him stay out
01:06 Lolly8088 you can't know these things.
01:10 rue_house I know to bring them in at night when it gets dark
01:10 rue_house I didn't
01:10 rue_house I dont know what the extent of the injuries are, he cant feel his tail at all
01:11 Lolly8088 tail injuries are serious. he needs a vet. there are too many different reasons for it to happen, and most are serious
