    Fun-Size 3 Muskateers for the Trick or Treaters (haven't seen one for many years, but would hate to be empty-handed).
    Planters cashews for me. I'm diabetic so the girls behind the counter at Hardees will be happy tomorrow when I give them the leftover candy. :lol:

    ...no candy to give away as my place isn't very visible from the street.

    ...may go "trick or cocktailing" after dinner.

    Fun post holiday party tomorrow with my gaming group.

    Spent a lot on candy...made 130 treat bags...about half of them are still here. :down: At least I buy stuff that I like. But I shouldn't eat that much candy! Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, Nestle Crunch, Hershey bars, little packs of Whoppers, Reece's PB Cups (man they're tiny this year!), KitKats, and Smarties. Three chocolates and two Smarties in each treat bag. The kids that do show up love me! :lol: Sometimes I hear them yell, "Jackpot!" or something similar. :coolsmile:

    I like those, too. But there were none this year. I spent too much already.

    ...looked back through my emails and there was an active coupon at Rendo for 10% off a 10$ minimum purchase so got the Flutteby Drone.

    Now to figure out how to use my PC coupon for this month.

    I'm getting tired of the screw-ups. Got Tavern Dining Hall with my coupon, clicked the download with DIM button, and the DIM says Download Failed! :-/ Try the button on the Product Library page and the same thing. >:( Restarted the DIM each time. One more try...restart the DIM, click on Refresh button, find the files in the regular list, check them off and click on Start Queue. Finally they downloaded and installed. :long:

    Couldn't afford to use the PA coupon, so that is a waste.

    Dana

    I'm going to watch the news and go to bed.

    When did AMD start making quad-core Sempron processors? I never noticed them before. My Sempron runs at 1.8 GHz.

    Complaint: the fan on the Intel i7 laptop is loud when I use Daz Studio 4.

    What a morning... Started pouring just as I was going for my dress sandals so I got my steel toe boots instead. Good thing to as it was torrential as we left the house. Managed to make it to work but not before getting quite wet exiting the truck. And it was so dark that I thought it was nine pm rather than 7:30

    Has turned real dark and cold here as well, big storms going over :)

    Good morning! Dawned bright and cold here, hit close to that 30F mark last night but I was all tucked in with the heater on.

    Woke up, made coffee, and started WRITING! Any story that starts with a zombie knocking on someone's door is a good one! :vampire:

    Don't know if I'll make my 1500 today as I have a benefit to attend at 3PM, but I'mm gonna give it the ol' loachy try. :coolsmile:

    I hope everyone is having a decent weekend! :cheese:

    Some observations about hand-grinding coffee, on my first attempt:

    - Coffee beans are HARD! Grinding them by hand is a workout, my shoulders are actually sore! :bug:
    - The grinder is a breeze to use and it's actually kind of fun to watch the ground coffee fill the holder
    - This grinds enough for 2 cups, which is PERFECT, and both the whole bean and ground coffee holders seal very tight
    - The darn thing vanishes into my suitcase, the handle is removable.. this is the ideal size to move with

    Observations on the hand-ground medium roast from Seattle coffee:

    - The smell, omg, the smell, sent me to Heaven when I opened the grinder
    - The TASTE.. wow.. Starbucks can kiss my fins, this is better!

    VERY happy now! Only thing missing is a fireplace and a cat or two.. ;-)

    I tend to get mostly high roast beans, with the occasional medium roast. In my experience medium roast is harder work than high - probably as the beans are less brittle.

    That makes sense. I also think I have the grinder grinding too fine, no idea if that will make a difference in grinding effort, though. I haven't actually ground my own coffee for well over a decade... :red: :red:

    Next order will be the whole-bean dark roast and we'll give that a go. :coolsmile:

    Still, I feel inordinately proud that I ground my own coffee.. :P

    Complaint: tdlmake.exe runs slowly on the Intel i7-47xx computer. I wonder how much graphics data tdlmake needs to convert to tdl format. I'll take a look later.

    1, 227 words.. and a nice stopping point, so it's wash-up time and prep for the benefit.

    ...Caturday complaints

    --Woke up later than I wanted to
    --Still unable to get glass reflectivity to work in Luxender.
    --Am a bit stuffy and cough is back this morning.

    Non Complaints:

    --Luxender runs cooler on my system than 3Delight
    --Am able to pause and resume rendering and Lux doesn't need the scene Daz to remain open once the process begins.
    --I may finally get my wish for modelling as I learned Silo has been brought back to life with the release of Ver 2.3 which includes 64 bit support (already has it for MacOS and Linux with the Windows update currently in progress). Wonder if that will get Daz Development off their bums to update Hexagon?
