random bits... sliding all over

[jay]

Whee... tonight was a night to turn up the radio, say to Bon Jovi, and kick the V-8 up to 6000 rpm into the freeway... until the rear wheels kicked out sideways across two lanes while entering 101. It was quickly back aligned and I didn't hit anything, so no harm done.

At home... patgreene is having a bad IT security day, first an unintentionally unfiltered LJ post (that I wasn't supposed to see), then she reset her laptop password -- and then forgot it. I had to login as root and reset it for her. A bit like leaving the car unlocked with the keys in it, then locking them inside. At least the blood's off of the kitchen floor, for now.

Otherwise... last night's skating party was a success, we had 16 people, ten of them skating, and the weather cooperated with a clear, crisp night sky...

And I forgot! I am soooo sorry! I am totally kicking myself!

Yep, sorry I missed it. It sounded like it was going to be so much fun, too.

Glad you are ok!

o_O Yeesh. Please be careful, dear.

Tangentially, did you see the guy who was rolling a racing tire up to the the Continental counter when you were checking in for your flight? Just one tire. I suppose it wasn't quite as strange when I saw he was carrying a bag referring to the "Richard Petty Driving Experience", but it was still pretty odd.

Glad to hear the skating party went well, it sounded like fun. I should go try to get in some skating on the Mall before the rink closes for the year.
