Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Good morning Gnexers!

It's Friday! :D
It's raining! No need to go out and water the plants! :D
It's PAYDAY! The Eagle pooped for me! :D :D
It's June! Let summer begin! Well, for some people anyway :rolleyes:

It's a great day to unlock & root my phone!

I found an online, step-by-step tutorial for Wug's Root Toolkit. I'm offloading the last of my data, then I'll use it to install drivers & the SDK, then backup my app data, then UNLOCK, root, install CWM, and flash AOKP & Gapps.

Hopefully I'll see you on the other side - and if you see a post with "HELP!" in big, bold letters, you'll know something has run amiss (which I do not expect to happen).

:)

Goooooooooood morning all and Happy Friday!

For the past year I have been taking a free bus provided by the NY Waterway and then taking the train from the ferry station to work. Its the easiest and most convenient way for me to get to work. This morning I am told because I am taking the train from the ferry terminal and not the ferry itself that I cannot take the bus anymore. I asked him to just let me take it today and he would never see me again, but he wasn't having any of it. He mumbled something nasty in Spanish to his friend and that set me off. I swore at him (which I don't usually do) and stormed off the bus and told him that I've been taking it for a year and never had this problem. Just wanted to let him know that I've been doing it for a year and now they're finally saying something. It felt pretty awesome to tell someone off first thing on a Friday morning - just really frustrating me. So for the next month I have to walk down this horribly steep hill to get to the other bus that ends up at the ferry terminal - just glad my train monthly pass allows for one "zone" on the bus. I understand it was probably not the right thing to do, but a bunch of people did it and I granted since I am not taking their ferry, technically, I am not entitled to the bus - before anyone calls me out on that part.

Anyway, on to some Instagram pictures. Enjoyed this last night - a growler of a Saison from Harpoon, never bottled only brewed/served at the brewery. AND a picture of NYC this morning.

No more work weekends for at least 3 and half months! Damn right today is a good day! Nephew is staying with me this weekend. Hopefully the rain allows an Altoona Curve(Pirates affiliate) game tonight. Tomorrow, probably Indian Cavrans and some hiking. And at some point, maybe MiB 3?

Installed 4.0.4 myself. Everything seems fine. Screen is eating up around 50% of power though.

Well, I got my adb and fastboot drivers installed, and did the app + data backup. Next step is the unlock: and I am at a standstill. Not because I'm scared, mind you... it's because the technologically-impaired but financially paranoid Darling Bride wants me to make sure that both vehicles are topped off before I wipe Google Wallet. And one of them is due out of the shop this morning. :rolleyes:

I do not expect to lose the money that's on it after I root & ROM (AOKP 37 is my poison of choice for a first ROM), but she just wants to make sure we've spent what we can before the wipe.

Wanting to keep wifey happy, I will comply and wait for the call from the mechanic...

Morning Chief, a little wet here in Tennessee this morning, :)

It was earlier, but the rain has blown out of my area, and a cool autumn breeze has followed it! It would normally be about 88 degrees this time of day... but it's barely 71! Feels AWESOME!

What are you doing in TN and where are you? :)

Passing through on 40, don't worry, hubby is driving :} on our way to Dallas for my nieces graduation. Just drove out of torrential rain, coming up on Monterrey, sun is trying to pop out.
