Brent,
What are you writing about that you cannot put 5 - 6 pages together? Is this single-spaced or doublespaced? Does it include illustrations? What's the subject?

Midterms Completed.

Crisis not so much averted as it was ....deflected with minimal damage.

tychoaussie

What if we settled in the middle and pronounced it BIN - oh? sort of like rhymes with pin, followed by oh!

bin-oh!

I always wanted to learn how to breakdance in a fursuit. It's probably mostly a matter of choosing the right fur for your knees, back, shoulders & elbows during construction and then picking the appropriate corrugated cardboard dance mat. You might want to go with kevlar construction on the top...

Meanwhile, Back on topic >^_^<

I just finished grading 150 pieces of homework for my sections, finished setting up next week's courses, and now I'm switching over to working on my OWN studies. Three nice lil' midterm exams worth about 33% of each grade. One is geophysics, calculating heat flow, seismic wave velocities, estimating...

This morning about 7:30 AM I donned my Tycho Aussie fursuit and paraded up & down the street in front of Applebees for a fundraiser charity breakfast to raise money for a 4 year old autistic boy who has just lost his eyesight. So we're raising money to buy him a seeing eye / therapy dog. I spent...

I'm not sure I that I ever said I was a furry - - - just a guy with a fursuit! If you were annoyed at what I said, I do apologies. Oh, I am not annoyed at all - In fact, I posted that with a chuckle - Note the singing dog and his boy :) My son says "I asked my dad for a dog, and this is what h...

Does your son know your a furry(no reason, just curious)? I wonder what he would think. Aaaand getting back on track, my English class starts in a few minutes so I've got THAT to look forward to.

Teaching river ecology class in half an hour, then two hours of office hours, followed by sedimentary stratigraphy class, followed by geophysics until 6:30 PM, then off to wrestling to pick up my son, followed by three hours of homework, then clean up the kitchen, take a shower, and be back at the u...

It was good fun. Check out this lil' guy at the finish line: We crossed at approximately the same time. I either jogged or speed-walked the whole way, so this four year old must've ran full-tilt for 5 kilometers. He had told his dad that all he wanted to do was beat the dog, and he did! I didn't mak...

It's better to prepare/prevent than fixing it later. Do you guys have your own Bug out bag, survival kit, or any thing like that? I've talked about this before somewhere else in this forum but I'm bring this topic up again because I do care of y'all's well being. so let's share what we have in our ...

I found a 1.8 billion year-old chunk of metamorphosed banded iron formation in a mid-Michigan farmer's field. There's so much iron in it that a magnet sticks to it. It's super neat, with its stripes of nearly pure iron ore and it's layers of chert that are folded onto each other. The shape of this r...

Just for fun, Here I am in the River Ridge Polar Bear 5K run, just a few miles outside of Babylon Gardens. Having a ball, hoping more will join us next year for the race https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/210435_10200460645777975_2043470275_o.jpg Pre-race singing and dancing, warming up for...

I'm repairing the hockey table after a rather rowdy and damage inducing game session last weekend.

I really want a fursuit once I have more money. I want to learn to dance in one. I just want to learn how to dance. Then don the fursuit and dance: My dream is to do a two minute techno dance with martial arts jumps, spins, kicks and such. However my knees quit cooperating just as I reached blackbe...

tychoaussie

uhm, no and no! ...wherever I go the event turns into a mini-furry con of one fursuiter anyway... I'm quite frankly intimidated by the thought of bunches of critters running about... I'd lose myself in the shuffle. Besides, no one has been able to tell me the point of a con quite yet. If I go I want...

Slept in today until 10 AM. Then ate & talked with friends until 2 PM, then drove home. I got here at 4 PM, brushed out Tychoaussie costume really well, then logged in and looked up Housepets. Tomorrow I'll check into the campus for a couple hours, then come home and work on my Trans Am. It's ab...

FYI, I just looked it up and according to Cornell University, the caffiene toxicity for cats is between 100 and 300 mg/kg of body mass. My cat, being 8 kg, maximum toxicity is therefore 800 mg - 2400 mg. A coffee bean is estimated at having between 1 and 14 mg of caffiene per bean. Therefore it'd ta...

Isn't that poisonous? Golly, I don't know! All I know is that nine years ago, my kids accidentally filled his food dish with a cup of my choice Kenya AA and didn't notice until I came home from work. I found poor kitten staring at his food dish and sitting there... >munch< >crunch<... "must be...

Merry Christmas! - I got to upgrade my Lenovo T61P to a SSD hard drive, 4GB RAM, and a Windows 8 64-bit operating system upgrade. It's screaming right now. - I bought my family a new computer with 22-inch screen, 8GB ram, 500GB drive and Windows 8. - Sony Bravia 55-inch HDTV from Crutchfield; Looks ...

I find most of the pet treats are rather mealy - sort of like trying to eat field corn versus sweet corn on the cob. The best pet treats I've found are the jerky flavored treats. Those aren't too bad. Crunchy cat food is *okay* for the most part and generally much more palatable than the dog foods. ...

Legendario's list looks sort of like mine, only I'd rather have an F86, and some kind of funding source that pays for the fuel to take it to air shows across the country. oh, and yeah ~ A pilots license and the 1000 hours of flight time necessary to get certified to fly my F86. At $6000 / hour thoug...

Yes, I own a fursuit. No I don't attend cons. I have, however been getting quite a bit of use out of it these past eight months: Quick update. Halloween was tons of fun. The Dog trick or treat fundraiser event went great, and my son & I even ended up on the front page of the newspaper. We've als...

Hey, I've eaten Milkbone for real and I can honestly say it doesn't improve one's breath whatsoever! Brushing one, well y'know, never thought about it, but I suppose it might put just the right aroma onto the brush for a good ol' fashioned hint of freshness & make toothpaste just that much more ...

Considering that Chocolate is toxic to dogs, and that there's so many other things that they munch on that doesn't appear to affect them,

I have to wonder if maybe all this stuff we perceive as nasty is perhaps mostly cultural perception.

Also, tychoaussie, That is a great looking car! You designed it yourself? Who did the building exactly, because that looks like a marvellous piece of engineering! ;) No, I really did it myself! I bought the car in 1990, autocrossed it in SCCA F-stock for six summers, then started modifying in 1996....

:oops: I hope this isn't too many pictures for this thread, but I thought I'd let the pictures do the talking: It's my 1984 Trans Am, which is only 1 notch less fun than twisting the throttle on a CBR900RR. It's a 12.40 @ 114 MPH, 1.21 g skidpad turning kind of car. all design, fabrication & oth...

Even if I could find the time (which I cannot), I wouldn't be able to attend furry conventions either. Sometimes we need to make compromises for the peace & security of our families.

I used to like that show when I could catch it, but then I had a son who cannot bear to watch a movie without talking & commenting through the whole darned thing. Sometimes we're forced to send him out of the room in order to watch our movie during movie night and that's kinda sad. So, I'd expec...

It's tough to beat this one; This kid is dressed in pumpkin guts! Sort of like veggie-zombification, it was very well-constructed and quite classy.

Halloween trick or treat went really well. We ended up on the front page of the Sunday community section of the newspaper in full-color! http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20121020/NEWS01/310200035?fb_action_ids=4818463378764&fb_action_types=og.recommends&fb_ref=artrectop&fb_sour...

One lil' bit of caution. "extracurricular" means "Outside of your primary educational responsibilities". They are awesome stuff but only as long as you don't let them become "Infracurricular", a word I just made up. It means "Instead of your primary educational res...

This just in, I've been invited to be the official mascot for the dog "trick or treat" fundraiser event this next Saturday. It's a big fundraiser to raise money to support the therapy dog / leader dog program in our area. I'll be on-site for the day, me and my boy, doing dog tricks. It'll ...

I also need to round up a couple more singers for the act.

I hope we get to do this over the Christmas holidays, I'm gonna need a break after all this college stuff.
Poor lil' ZL600 has just been sitting around unused for over 18 months due to lack of time and snow.
