Hell I was in the Glider Diner in Scranton, pa if anyone knows it. They kinda have the typical old school diner set up like a train car. I was eyeballing all the stainless and aluminum. Rubbing my hands over it and said to my wife, look at all the money. She promptly said Im psychotic...lmao

That's a great movie.

Freon, its a cartoon set in the 40's about a huge robot...I forget most of the plot but he befriends a little kid (and manages not to crush him LOL) and gets shot at by the army.

I find myself saying the same thing to my wife all the time these days. It's meditation, a reverse puzzle mind-bender, and a seratonin burst all wrapped together. I scrapped an old printer today and I broke it down to almost every piece I could possibly remove, and then reassembled the empty shell. My wife saw me mid-project when she came home, and commented that I might as well be doing yoga given the contortions I was doing to pop this and unscrew that.

I was amazed by the sheer number and variety of metal springs -- big ones, little ones, loose ones, tight ones, ones with loops on the end, and ones with little prongs. I found a couple that were about 1 mM in diameter and I thought to myself: I want to meet the guy who coiled these little things and shake his hand. It was probably a robot/machine, but nevertheless, it's the thought that counts.

Not so much for me. It's mainly just about the "MONEY"!

I find a handful of greenbacks to be the best relaxation of all.
