Smile: After some gaming fun this weekend, my buddy and I went and purchased 2 more expansions for the Talisman board game. Hobie are you going to come back over for some more talisman fun?

Did the new editions put any cgi on Max? I liked his jerky long puppet nose, and could see Lucas wanting to "fix" it.
I dont know what you are talking about. There is no new edition...

Two more corners? Yeah, that was fun I'll certainly play again.

Frown: I can't get it near where I live.

Ticked - had a performance review in the middle of the day with no warning
Smiled - Aced the review and ended up with a broken 7 inch digital picture frame. It has a bad backlight, so I plan on gutting it and using it for a video project. Just gotta open the frame and remount the screen in some plexy with a low heat light source.

Looks good. I'm wondering if anyone has tips for making a good steak/cheese sandwich at home? I buy the shaved steak in the meat dept but it just doesn't taste at good.

I still remember those Steak-Umms sandwiches from my childhood. Uggh, those are nasty.

What cut of meat are you using?

The most cost efficient way to go is to buy a chuck roast (ask your butcher for a cut near the chuck end) and have them shave paper thin slices.

The best meat to use however is ribeye (again, cut near the chuck end) shaved thin.

Smiled - finished off a project last night and started a new one.
Finished project - freed from its mount and cut off the filters from a projectors prism - still need to get a mount for it, but that might just be rubberbands.
Started project - took apart the photoframe and have a great idea of what to do with it.

Why was the projector prism a project. Well it does things like this with small frame cameras - ie my cellphones camera.

That are flowers ahead of me, with the red lens pointing upward at the light coming through the trees and the blue lens pointed at some monkey grass. I mean aliens, definitely aliens. I have one that is for a 35mm camera that I took out of a huge old projector - but my little brother uses it for a really unique take on photo shoots.

The pictureframe, well it will gain a new life doing something awesome...
