Well, it's a rainy day today. (So I guess that means that Nixon and the girls aren't sunning out by the pool today.

I'm trying to brainstorm something fun to do today although I've still got so much to do around here perhaps I should just stay in and organize things.

Well, at least the DSL is repaired.

Well, I bought a digital piano at Goodwill on Thurs. (Yes, I am a thrift store junkie.) It's a really nice one, too. It's a Roland FP-8 with weighted keys and it sounds great. It didn't have a power cord with it, so after looking all day Saturday searching in vain for the proper cable, it occurred to me to just swap the connector out...

Well, I got a chance to hang out with little Laura this week. I went over to visit her and I brought all the stuff to color easter eggs. It depresses me to no end that her dad never does any of the holiday things with her.

I LOVE THAT LITTLE 6 YEAR OLD SO MUCH. She's a great kid. It's a shame that her...

Well, I finally made some beer yesterday.

It's just made up of leftover ingredients, but I still think that it will be good.


Few things smell as good as beer boiling on the stove.

(well maybe pussy smells a little better.)

Well, I'm still in computer hell.

I am making progress.

My $9 router proved to be intermittent, so I went out and got a better one. I still can't get it to work on the main machine, but just now I hooked the second machine into it and got it to work.

You know computer stuff, you just end up wasting a big portion of...

Well, keep your fingers crossed. I've got the DSL running and the router installed and it is working.

It's not that I'm afraid of computers; it's just that my computers are old and cranky and I'm too cheap to upgrade.

Everything else is pretty quiet. A big lighting project was delayed until next week, so that's a lot of stress removed.

Time to enjoy the...

Well, I got my DSL stuff in the mail. The account should be activated during the next few days and it will probably be a little while until everything is switched over.

Hopefully I won't be off line for too long.(if at all.)

Very tired today. Haven't slept well the last few nights. It's a combination of the heat wave, stress and being naughty. (Staying up too late, eating too late, drinking too much wine. You know, stress avoidance shit.)

I've also been a slug about being on line. I'm supposed to have the DSL activated this week, so that should make it better.

I also need to...

Well, it seems that we've lost our manager at work. He was transferred to Project development for 6 months to help another manager, Ken, who was dropping the ball., It also turns out that a couple of days after our manager was transferred, Ken was laid off so this may be a permanent shift. The cool thing about our manager, Jeff, was that he was...

Well, I finally admitted defeat and reformatted my hard drive yesterday. I've got my browser working again and now begins the task of reloading my programs and data.

At least, I resisted the temptation to spend money on more computer stuff! It was very tempting to shitcan the whole thing and just purchase a new system. But I held my ground against the dreaded credit...
