Richard & Misti's Blog

Tried the new Sam’s Choice First Harvest Cherry Limeade yesterday. Mmmmm, quite delicious. Found the following three caches today:
Snake TunL (sic)Betsy’s BridgeIt’s a BIG…..HOOUUSE! (sic)
Someone generously purchased two DVD videos (“Charlotte’s Web 2: Wilbur’s Great Adventure” and “Sesame Street: 123 Count With Me”) for the kids from our Amazon wishlist. Thank you! [...]

Misti made a wonderful fish dish last night: “Fish Fillets with Crumb Topping” (Great American Recipes, Group 4, Card 42). Mmmmm. Well, I found out the hard way that Freecorder will only record 30 minute MP3’s, which I didn’t know before. Our last podcast was nearly 33 minutes, so that’s why I [...]

We found the ‘Duck Poop (updated!)‘ cache on Saturday while visting the park with Twyla and her kids. I’ve been enjoying some Aquafina Raspberry Flavor Splash water recently. Mmmmm. I think the “flu” we had might’ve actually been Norovirus instead (based on the symptoms).
As mentioned in our latest podcast (a two-part piece [...]

It’s nice to be reminded sometimes that all software has security flaws, not just M&M products (Mozilla and Microsoft). Thus, it’s interesting to note the recent RealPlayer security flaw that just made headlines which affected Windows, Macintosh, and Linux versions of the app.
It’s been a long time in coming, but the new USDA food [...]

Well, the podcast obviously didn’t come to fruition this past weekend. We were all just too sick to make it happen. Jared seems to be over his flu now; he started last Thursday night being sick, and was feeling better by Tuesday. Becky started feeling sick on Sunday night, and is [...]

Becky’s sick today. It’s like a puke-fest over here this weekend; a veritable barf-o-rama. We spent some time at Lake Park and Rancho San Rafael Park yesterday, and found the following two caches, along with the “Jessica’s Scooby-Doo” travel bug:
Spongy MatterTreasures of the 5th grade
Updated my copy of Firefox to 1.0.3 today. [...]

Lots of Mytob.AQ and Tooso.F viruses going around in the past couple of days. We finally finished The Book of Psalms (took forever!) two nights ago, and now we’re happily in Proverbs. Misti made around $40.00 at Ronda’s garage sale this morning by unloading some old stuff we no longer use. We’re [...]

Watched the 007 flick “Thunderball” (1965; Sean Connery) two nights ago on letter-box VHS. It was like watching Austin Powers all over again. I’ve also been enjoying some Crystal Light Pink Lemonade recently. Very tasty.
Last night, Misti made some very good “Devilled Skillet Chicken Breasts” (Great American Recipes, Group 5, Card 40). [...]

Drank a tasty combination of Jumex Peach Nectar and Kerns Apricot Nectar yesterday. Mmmmm. Did everyone but me already know that petrolatum and petroleum jelly are the same thing?

Did you know that garlic is also known as the ‘stinky rose‘? Brad and Emilie now have a shoutbox, so go yell at them! We watched both “13 Going on 30” (2004; Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Kathy Baker, Kiersten Warren) and “Star Wars Trilogy: Bonus Features” (2004) on DVD last night.
The Wendy’s Chili [...]

Blogger has a great new feature now: “recover post“. If you forget to make a backup copy of your post before clicking “publish” (which I’m guilty of sometimes if I’m in a hurry) and therefore lose a post because of your browser locking up (Firefox does this periodically) or your Internet connection flakes out [...]

I enjoyed a new Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Banana Fruit Smoothie last night, along with some new Strawberry Country Crock spread. I also upgraded to Adobe Reader 7.0.1 yesterday. Twyla and her kids came over to visit, but Becca scraped her knees on the asphalt at Oxbow. I’m trying out some Right Guard [...]

Google Maps has gotten 200% better with the latest inclusion of satellite imaging. We stopped by the ‘Laundrette’ laundromat tonight to dry a few loads of laundry since our dryer ceased functioning correctly this afternoon, and popped into the Godfather’s Pizza next door to enable Becca to enjoy her first game of air hockey. [...]

Another Firefox vulnerability discovered today, one of five that remain unpatched ranging back to last August.   =(
I like Gaim 1.2.0 (the IM client, for Windows). I’ve also installed the Off-The-Record Messaging plugin, which offers free IM encryption without needing digital signatures or bothersome certificates.
Watched “Logan’s Run” (1976; Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Michael York, [...]

We watched “Raise Your Voice” (2004; Hilary Duff, John Corbett, Rebecca De Mornay, David Keith, Oliver James, Rita Wilson) last night on widescreen DVD. I tried some new Ocean Spray Light Cran·Grape juice featuring Splenda last night. Very tasty.
I tried some Altoids Cherry Sour Chewing Gum today, and we were the first to [...]

Tried some new Trolli Road Kill gummi candy. The candies are shaped like little snakes, chickens, and squirrels – each squished and sporting a tire tread through their midsection. Hilarious.
Well, NaNoEdMo 2005 is now over – and we failed miserably on our collective novel editing Wiki project. Oh, well – it’s kind [...]
