Fern - unintended artistic rendering
March 20, 2010 at 6:46 am
PNice! How did you do this?
March 20, 2010 at 8:14 am
Jim SchremppFound a gif on the web of an ancient fern. Converted to b&w. Used the ShopBot software to generate a vector outline of the image.

The software will then create a tool path (x,y,z moves) for a particular router bit. I specified a 60 degree v-carve bit and a depth of .25 inches. This was the result. Better than expected.

J No lost fingers I hope!
March 19, 2010 at 4:01 pm
P American version:

1) Put the severed fingers on ice
2) Get them to a hospital
3) Discover your HMO doesn't think having 10 fingers is important
4) Resign yourself to life with only 8 fingers.

Canadian version:

1) Put the severed fingers on ice
2) Get them to a hospital
3) Present your provincial health card
4) Have emergency surgery at no cost to you and look forward to continuing life with 10 fully functional fingers.
5) Lose re-attached fingers to frostbite during the next blizzard.
6) Resign yourself to life with only 8 fingers.

February 24, 2010 at 10:56 am
D Jim a great solution to no-kneading is a second hand bread machine. We only allow R2D2 to knead at our house but he does a great job.
February 24, 2010 at 11:22 am
Jim SchremppI have long lusted after those bread machines, but I also am afraid. If we had one I might make a loaf a day, and I don't think I should eat that much bread! Maybe I should just have one running for the smell in the morning.
February 24, 2010 at 7:38 pm
L mmmmm....yea...i don't use mine all the time. but i like the smell of the other in the oven...and even when it is rising...anticipation!!!

D How do I get this "share" button on FB to work?
February 8, 2010 at 10:32 am
Jim Schrempp@Denise, it works for me. Not sure what's up. Here's Paul's recipe for it: http://www.williamsonpsp.com/recipes/breakfast/nest-eggs.html

The one change is that this time he used big muffin tins and didn't have to do all the molding of the cups. We just pressed the egg roll wrappers into the tins.
February 8, 2010 at 10:51 am
D Thanks for the recipe - a good substitution until I can figure out how to get the teleporter function on the "share" button to work. You would think that FB would at least have a scratch-n-sniff app by now.
February 8, 2010 at 5:20 pm
EDenise, Facebook was made for your sense of humor. Scratch-n-sniff? Well, get on it!
February 8, 2010 at 5:40 pm
D I tried, and it just smells like a computer screen. I don't get it.
February 8, 2010 at 5:41 pm

January 15, 2010 at 5:55 pm
J Lokks like the power to the cooling fan to me. The connectors are supposed to line up.
January 16, 2010 at 12:39 am
Jim SchremppI think it was power to the CPU itself. In this condition my server would power up the CPU fan, but that was it. Not even a boot beep. Once this was back in, everything came up fine... and I felt like an alpha geek!
January 16, 2010 at 6:49 am

You don't always know how good your vendor is until years later. They didn't have to spend that extra $0.02 on internal labeling. God bless you eMachines!!! Now if I can just figure out why the thing won't do anything except spin the new fan...

Is it a good idea to gave opened mayo sitting at room temp all day long? In fact, is that even legal? In Denver it seems to be. They must be hearty people.
December 15, 2009 at 7:21 pm
P Obviously, they did not go to the same Safety and Sanitation class I went to at El Centro.
December 15, 2009 at 7:44 pm
J Hmm, is it a good idea to have open ketchup and mustard sitting at room temp all day long? I use the little foil packets (sealed) of mayo at room temp without thinking. I wish we'd adopt the European practice of irradiating these types of products.
December 15, 2009 at 8:02 pm
L Speaking of.....how many weeks after Thanksgiving is the turkey still safe to eat????? The hubby and I had this argument...I say it lasts for a number of days, but not WEEKS!
December 15, 2009 at 11:00 pm
J @Laura: Room temp, refridgerator temp or frozen?
December 15, 2009 at 11:32 pm
L Refrigerator temp...
December 16, 2009 at 7:52 am
S 1 week maximum. I'd be cautious after four days.
December 16, 2009 at 8:02 am
P 4 hours for a the mayonaise!!!
December 16, 2009 at 9:13 am
MWhen we lived in Denver we left our frozen Thanksgiving Turkey in the garage for three days before cooking it.
We didn;t have enough space in the freezer and day time temps were 30 and nightime was in the teens.
At Christmas party's the cold beer would be sitting ontop of a table on the patio, no need for an ice chest.
December 16, 2009 at 12:36 pm
L My hubby grew up in the Bay Area and his parents would leave the leftover turkey out in the garage because they said it was just as cold as the refrigerator.....I'm just not so sure about that! Denver, yes....Fremont, hmmmm...
December 16, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Jim Schrempp@Jon: I think mustard and catchup are ok because of the salt and acid in them. And packages of mayo are sterile. I thought opened mayo at room temp is deadly. But according the Association for Dressing and Sauces, room temp mayo becomes a quality concern, not a safety issue. http://dhs.wisconsin.gov/fsrl/pubs/Handouts/mayo.pdf
December 16, 2009 at 5:41 pm
AI suspect the squeeze mayo isn't really mayo. I think it's the unsweetened version of what's inside a Twinkie, which I believe is commonly used in embalming. Hungry, anyone? (PS I love mayo in moderation.)
December 17, 2009 at 7:38 am

Another reason I can't go to SBucks. When there I feel I should get the oatmeal. But what a load of trash. Good for me; bad for the planet? Better to stick with The Blue Rock Shoot and washable gear.
November 9, 2009 at 7:25 pm
M I know what you mean about the oatmeal...it is nummy but so overpackaged....it does stick to the ribs for a good long while, though.
November 9, 2009 at 7:30 pm
J The paper is a 'renewable' product ergo it must be 'green', right?

Speaking of paper, did you know that America and Canada are the only countries where toilet paper is not made from recycled paper? Apparently we have sensitive 'behinds' so we need soft tissue that can only be made with new paper.

November 11, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Jim SchremppI stop at each table and ask them what there stuff is about. This year one girl had illustrated the story of the shoes her grandmother bought her years ago and how she wore them for years, remembering her grandma.
November 11, 2009 at 6:52 pm

November 11, 2009 at 6:59 pm

November 11, 2009 at 8:54 pm
P Still searching for the needle...
November 12, 2009 at 4:21 am
Jim Schrempp@Jon - she was broke after college. When visiting her Gram she forced a new pair of tennis shoes on her. Her Gram died and she wore the shoes for years. My earlier post was a bit brief.
November 12, 2009 at 4:32 am
Jim Schrempp@Pete - how about a guy who's parents grew up in a kibbutz. Married and moved to the US. He has worked as a gardener for years. He's now old and body broken. Went back to the kibbuutz but, "the kibbutz has no room for those who cannot work." He had nice graphics to illuminate the story.
November 12, 2009 at 4:35 am
P If its well written, I think we've found the needle. Did you actually read his book? I'd be curious about what emotions come across in his writing.
November 12, 2009 at 4:57 am
Jim SchremppI might have led you astray. This was only 20 pages, each with one wood block like print and a sentence. It is more like poetry. The emotion is sadness and dispare over broken dreams. And a bit of you can't go home again.

Good job!! Dave
September 28, 2009 at 8:22 pm
J @Stephanie - Rick is totally correct BUT, as much as I hate to admit it, it was still a damn big crappie. These fish are generally the size of your hand - compare Jim's hand to this fish.

August 25, 2009 at 8:45 am
D What are you doing? Adding another story?
August 25, 2009 at 8:46 am
R Looks like a pretty tricky retrofit. Why is it "almost" in? I think you should leave it there with the external support and build that outdoor dance floor.
August 25, 2009 at 8:47 am
C Wow, the work begins. Between your place and Angela's you guys are in major construction mode this summer.
August 25, 2009 at 9:41 am
P I like the outdoor dance floor idea. Hang some speakers and a disco ball from the ceiling. When the neighbours complain, explain that you have to dance at night because of the asbestos.
August 25, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Jim SchremppNo remodel, unfortunately, just repairs. But this will make the deck safe again, and into the future. Pete, no asbestos here ;-)
