Metal detector

As a kid I got a metal detector one year, and it was a colossal failure. This thing couldn't pick up the signal of metal lying on the ground you could see. It was a total time waste.

So when someone suggested getting my son one for his bday, I was quick to veto. You may as well give him an old golf club and broken radio w/ earpiece.


Speaking of shitty products my HD cable box which is a mere 7 mos old, has shorted out and requires total replacement. So on Saturday I get to swing by the cable office, and exchange it. This means I have to unplug the spider web of chords from the back, and more importantly remember how to put them back.
