Mar 24th, 2011 at 1:59pm Print Post Say, did anyone ever recreate that time machine Louise used in her AfterMath story? Or maybe even a replica of the time turner Hermione used in HP would work. Anyone got an extra? *sigh* It's that time of the year again when I'm scrambling to finish all my projects so I'm ready for the Annual Fashion Show. And I'd much rather be writing! I mean, I love clothes. (Doesn't everybody?) But my sequel is about ready to go on paper, and I want to get to it! And there just isn't enough time! (I hate when this happens!) Anyone got any ideas how I can do it all? The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

Reply #2 - Mar 24th, 2011 at 2:10pm Print Post Yeah, but if it's anything like the UFO my guys captured in the Devilsgate Saga, it's far too tricky to try and work the thing!

No, I just need a few extra hours every day for the next month! Then I'll be fine. Anyone know how to do that? (Other than pulling all-nighters for the next 30 days! I don't want to spend May in the hospital recovering.) The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

I wanted it for what's her name, who filled in for carlin. Sorry to hear about your insect problem, Matt. Try Clark Pest Control. No, Librarian, not that Clark. IP Logged

Long story made short, one of our local police departments has a remote receiver at a fire tower on the second highest hill in the state. They use a microwave link to send the signal back to the hub. I was just sitting down to put Seaview in the soup when the pager goes off. The PD was getting all kinds of nasty static on their radio system. It turns out the the microwave dish at the top of the tower had iced up. Normally that wouldn't cause an issue, unless the antenna was out of alignment, or the transmitter had problems. The tower is about 100 feet high, or about seven flights of old wooden stairs. It was not a fun night! > What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged
