Weekend was very lazy, we really did not do to much. Only had two set backs.
Saturday AM before we went to the Base for groceries with my mom, I had a ocular migraine hit me. And then again Last night I had another one. Two in 48 hours,,,, gerrrrr. I have a call into my Doc to see what I should be doing, and also to set up a appointment, the wife feels very strongly about me getting a checkup.
Cleaned up the house a bit, start writing out the thank you cards from the wedding, WOW what a pain in the back side that is. Now I know why people elope.
Other then when ever I sense I want to pass out, things are back to normal.
Bread...
I made challa bread this weekend, it came out really nice, I used a technique I learned/borrowed/stole from the restaurant in Long wood gardens where you bake the bread in a 2" terracotta flower pot. When its all said and done you get this really nice presentation, and a wonderful texture on the bread from being in direct contact with a stone.
I did changed up the traditional recipe a bit, Challa calls for a egg yok+sugar+water egg wash before it goes into the oven. I changed this out for just a traditional egg wash, were not really sweet bread lovers with the exception to sticky buns, and donuts. HUmmmmmm donut.
The two images were from the web, mine looks much better.

How bad is your driving, Really?
Lemur Autovision is a key fob that records a drivers habits. With the price of gas being what it was, and just a needed over all understanding of some of the ways we can as a culture break our love affair with the automobile. This little fab will allow you to see how you really drive. I'm thinking of a second version that you can't reset so parents know how their children drive. $80
AdminPatch...
So hears the deal, You don't feel pain from a cut until the skin is cut to a certain depth. This depth is know to medical science, is the level where our skin has all its pain receptors.
So, we take a patch, fill it with millions of tiny micronedles that can puncture you skin, and then lace those microneedles with drugs. This will allow the delivering of water-soluble drugs locally or systemically thought the micrpores it makes in the skin, and allows for medication to be delivered continuously while its stuck to you.
Put all of this with, these cuts are so small they collapse quickly when the patch is removed, its simple to use, easy and cheep to manufacture. Not sure of the medical uses for delivering but if it can in some way be used for insulin I know allot of diabetics that will be very excited for this one.
Pet of the day...
One of the best pet costumes I have seen.
Why Helmets don't suck...
A Broken Shami reader send this one in.. I know I'm surprised to, we have readers.
They went down on a club ride, 10mph, f. tire went out on a Rodie, turned side ways and they did a road surface density check with their head.
This is your brain, this is your brain on asphalt with out a helmet, any questions?
