Seriously? How many pairs of shoes do you need to keep by the front door?

These all belong to one roommate!

2 pairs of boots
1 pair of birkenstocks
1 pair of sneakers
1 pair of snowboard boots, and even the snowboard itself

although that is my old crockpot in the back… but it is on it’s way out!

How is this for a great parking job?

While I think anyone who parks this way with a really nice car is still a dink, I can at least understand WHY they do it.

This person though, Hello?!?! that’s a Chevy Cavalier that is at least 5 or 6 years old, it’s not exactly “nice” enough to even warrant that type of parking, and taking up 2(possibly 3) spots where voters are supposed to be parking?!?

These are workbenches they built at work for our small workshop room. They are pretty sweet benches, and those pegboards on the back are a million times better than the stuff you buy at Home Depot. They are a hard tempered plastic instead of particle board.

Coat Rack a la Ned

Originally uploaded by Nedster78

I needed a place to hang coats, and such that wasn’t my hall closet. It just doesn’t work well for everyday stuff since it is so full of coats that people don’t wear that often.

I was going to buy a coat tree for next to the front door, but those are ridiculously expensive, so I decided to buld this instead.

it holds up to 12 things easy, and a couple more if I really load it up.

I attached it directly to the studs in the wall, so it ain’t coming down anytime soon.

Shopping


1/16/2010

Yikes, this looks like the shopping trip for a family of 5 instead of that of a single guy.

Although, at least most of it was healthy stuff, and the only reason it ended up being so much was because I bought a whole bunch of stuff I normally only buy once a month or every couple weeks. It all sorta got lumped into one shopping trip. Things like olive oil, vegetable oil, peanut oil, poland spring sparkling water, a bunch of frozen lean cuisine meals and snacks.

PLC

Originally uploaded by Nedster78

This is a programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller, it is a digital computer used for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or lighting fixtures. PLCs are used in many industries and machines. Unlike general-purpose computers, the PLC is designed for multiple inputs and output arrangements, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are typically stored in battery-backed or non-volatile memory. A PLC is an example of a real time system since output results must be produced in response to input conditions within a bounded time, otherwise unintended operation will result.(1)

1- From Wikipedia since I didn’t feel like typing out a description.

We use these at work for the Panels we build for our customers. Some pretty cool stuff, I can’t program them now, but maybe at some point I will learn, they are super cool with the stuff they can do.

Fried Chicken, Ain't nuffin wrong with that


1/12/2010

Originally uploaded by Nedster78

Made me some fried chicken, tasted pretty good, not exactly healthy, but so so so good!

I used panko for the crust, double dipped a couple of them.

I couldn’t get them cooked completely by frying it, so I browned it decently and then put it into the toaster oven and let it finish cooking while wrapped up in foil.

Came out real good in the end, and when paired with some sweet cream and asiago mashed potatoes, it makes a nice and tasty meal, one thigh and one drumstick.

This is what happens when your roommate pulls up too close and crushes the Rubbermaid container to collect the water so it doesn’t flow down the driveway causing an ice slick.

And not only does it crush the Rubbermaid container, it also puts a nice dent in the gutter drainpipe…

awesome…

I wish I lived alone… fortunately, true to it’s reputation, after being out in the sun and medium warmth temperatures today, the Rubbermaid container did return to it’s regular shape.

Steak Grinder

Originally uploaded by Nedster78

I finally finished this grinder… only took a year, but I finally used every little bit of it!! It really is pretty tasty to put on steak for a quick dry rub before you cook it, it adds a little flavor without being too overwhelming.
