snap-lwas re: snow pusher15:30
rick_h_that pusher + http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A28780/ref=wms_ohs_product for the edges15:30
rick_h_you don't want to be picking up the pusher, you're just clearing to the sides, then clean up the sides with the snow shovel for tag team bliss15:30
snap-lI'll pick it up next week when the Paypal account replenishes.15:31
snap-lI have a nice fiberglass shovel that has a nice scoop on it, but I think the pusher would compliment it15:32
snap-lWonder if Meijer carries them. They're workng on clearing out their winter stuff.15:33
snap-lHmm.15:33
brouschYou guys crack me up15:35

shakes808snap-l: No refunds sorry18:45

greg-gsnap-l: are you on att?18:46
snap-lwide open west18:46
greg-gI get that when our net connection flickers and the router repalces every request with a "your net is down, so sorry" with att favicon18:46
snap-lI'll be right upset if AT&T is in the mix since I have Wide Open West18:47

rick_h_I believe you see it, but nothing here to do it. The ico is showing correct. The browser/network you're on are playing games with you18:50
snap-lProbably when I was browsing at B&N last night18:51
snap-lsince they have that stupid redirect shit18:52
rick_h_ah, true18:52
snap-lThat would explain it18:52
rick_h_and chrome will cache things to no end18:52
snap-lGah, now I have to wait for that shit to expire.18:52
snap-lDAMN YOU CHROME18:52
rick_h_must be a setting somewhere to clear all that?18:52
snap-lConsidering it's migrated from my laptop to my desktop, I'm not so sure. :)18:53

snap-lSeriously, my laptop was where I browsed on B&N network, but my desktop is where i'm seeing the icon change.18:54
brouschfavicon works for me18:54
snap-lbrousch: Yeah, it's just CHrome being stupid.18:54
rick_h_well, part B&N18:54
rick_h_:P18:54
brouschJust your Chrome18:54
