Red Ring Tupperware Party, Autumnal Equinoctal Edition (24)

We're in a bit of a cool down today. It's only 72 degrees right now.

If schools would print the year on those cards, abusing the system would be harder.

I was annoyed to see that my college started printing expiry dates on the student cards. My last card expired 2/25/2011, but I was 29 years old so I still look the same. Not only do students get discounts at so many places, but Photoshop is 80% off for students! While I was in school that last time I doubled the RAM in my laptop, upgraded to 64 bit, bought Windows 7 and CS5. At the time, FutureShop had CS5 priced at $1000. I paid $200 for it at the school's tech shop. The manager of the shop said that he often sees people sign up for a night class just to get the student card and all the discounts. That's something I would do. The local college offers evening classes for all kinds of stuff.

Yep I just graduated in May so I don't feel too bad about it. My current year subscription to Adobe CC was a little over half off which was nice since I didn't have work paying for it then. I also got win 7 profesional for a very nice discount back when I built my current system. Our computer store didn't sell components so I didn't get a break there, should have bought another external HD or two though they had amazing deals on those.

I want snow!!!

All we keep getting is warm days, above freezing, and all our snow has melted away. March is historically the heaviest snow month, but I want more now.

Harm, Sorry but you can have that snow trench! We went out hiking again this morning up the northern side of the mountain. 64F and sunny with a little bit of haze.

Wow, that looks nice. I forget what anything but brown looks like.

The 4-6 inches of rain we had last week helped keep things green. By July the grass will be mostly yellow.

Crazy weather - I can't believe it's the middle of February.

Dad and I started shoveling the snow off the deck. We're not concerned about the deck in anyway, but it sure makes a nice big pile of snow to build a slide on! My goal is to have a pile big enough to reach the top of the railing on the top level (about 7' from the ground).

You're aware that's a treatable condition, right?

It is only treatable by moving somewhere with more snow, otherwise I suffer.

Lasagna is ready.

Be there shortly.

Better beat the boys, it won't last long!

Lasagna is one of my all time fave foods. Has to be made right though, none of that no-meat-all-veggie nonsense.
