Sometimes I feel like this guy (potentially offensive)

A New Day!

This Morning

I finally gave up on the dryer about midnight. Woke again at 4am but could motivate myself out of bed beyond cleaning up the dog’s stank. Realized the cat was awol (escaped while I was coming to and fro with the dryer parts) so I spent a few minutes calling her back into the house. The scared thing spent 4 hours on the outside!

I don’t want to go to work today. I want to finish the dryer. I’m very close. All-in-all I’ve learned a whole bunch about dryers and things you can do to maintenance them and extend their lives; however, if I took my standard hourly rate and applied it to this learning lesson I probably could have just had one delivered and installed and foregone the lesson. They would have even hauled off the old one. On the plus side, I can repair the other one with relative easy based on what I have learned and Cathy can have two dryers.

Student: Nobody ever said it would be this hard.

Master: You never asked.

Here;s a “Force Feeback Programming Primer – for PC Gaming Peripherals Supporting I-Force 2.0 and Direct-X 5.0”

Ah! I found the stuff the mice liked!

Whew! 4:30 arrived and the dryer isn’t fixed but the office is cleaner! Blogger still isn’t accepting posts.

I’ve hit 1983!

Sabrina I found your book.

To get the washer back in the house I’ve been forced to clean. I have madly been throwing out magazines and mail most dating back to 1998 although I have found some from 1991 and at least one reference from 1984. An archealogist would have a hayday with this pile of rubbish.

I have gotten good at this and even thrown out college course work and my Cobol manual!

It is refreahing to put some more of my past behind me. It helps to move forward when you aren’t anchored by the past.

Student: Why does the dog bark?

Master: It knows no better way to communicate.

This Morning

I have a week’s worth of work I’d like to do today. My desires are home repair (mine and a friends) and lawn work as well as personal programming and business programming. I recognize this as an evil way to start the day so I am going to focus. My only interest right now is the dryer. If it takes an hour I can do more. If it takes all day so be it!

Took Molly to PetSmart. I now feel like the leaning tower and my left arm is longer than the right. It was a fun trip.

What a day so far! The morning was spent trying to get out for the afternoon. The girl scouts had their first meeting at their new location and to get Amy and Molly to the inlaws I followed Cathy to the location then did some Walmart shopping then dropped Amy and Molly off then Noah and I rushed home to sell popcorn to raise money for the boy scouts.

Today has been like trying to read a book inside a tornado and there is more fun to be had!

This Morning

Crashed hard last night like a plane shot from the sky. Why say some so horrible?! Because I fell asleep while watching The History Channel’s “Conspiracy?: TWA Flight 800” Much needed very deep sleep!

I actually watched the last 30 minutes of the presidential debate. I would have enjoyed seeing the whole thing. These two certainly presented themselves more…presidentially…than their running mates. My favorite part was when Bush made reference to No Child Left Behind and Kerry rebutes that “millions have been left behind.” No Child Left Behind has done nothing!

It giles me that they can stand up there and spout spin and unless you are educated on the issues you have no way to know whether or not they are lying. I was waiting with bated breath for Kerry to reference land in the Great Smoky Mountians National Park that was returned to the Cherokee Indians for schools (which will one day become casios). The reference never came (I can’t find a link..anyone have one?).

Time for a hectic day. We have a neighborhood yardsale going on today (not participating). I wonder how its doing?

Exceptional soccer tonight! Time to chill for a few then get back to work.
