Reality Me

Category: Daily Life

Ramblings, often stream of conscious, journaling the events of my life.

  • Partly Found

    I found the bag but the batteries aren’t in it.

    Lost my mind because I just realized I was supposed to be helping the wife do some planning last night when I fell asleep! Ugh again!

  • Constantly Lost

    I can’t find anything in this house and I’m as much to blame as anyone else. I need the rechargable batteries so that we can take pictures at today’s party. I need to be able to put a charge on the batteries. Ugh!

    A New Day!

    Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

    This Morning

    Slept like a rock last night. This morning I did some dumbbell exercises after getting Noah to bathe.

    Today we are celebrating 4 birthday parties: Noah (8), Sarah (11), Amy (2), and Gabriel (2). There should be honorable mentions to Cathy (?), Jeni (?) and it seems like I am overlooking Carmen (?).

    Noah has the unstopable internal clock. He gets up between 6am and 6:30 whether he needs to or not and has this blank look on his face like “why isn’t everyone else up?”

  • Spent the afternoon cleaning the kitchen and the b…

    Spent the afternoon cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom. Seems that I never get beyond those two rooms but I did a pretty thorough job.

    Relatives came over and we have the unusual pleasure of entertaining guests at our house–I mean people stayed at our house for a lengthy time without being scared away! And we only had 2 carpenter ants show up.

    The afternoon and evening were quite pleasurable.

    I’m still developing an ulcer over lack of income. I’m in the uncomfortable situation of having a potential contract that has to be exclusive but being faced with the possibility that it may fall through so I have to market myself right up to the point that I accept the contract.

    Robotic Sentinels to Protect Water Supplies from Terrorists

    “Not too far off, though, this technology will be able to serve as an early warning system, a network of robotic sentinels, to protect our waterways from terrorist attacks,”

  • Science

    Metal using velcro like properties to bond stronger with other metals

    Like joining two pieces of Velcro, TWI says it can bond a metal to a composite simply by pressing them together. The carbon fibres in the composite wrap tightly around the protrusions, creating a firm bond without any kind of glue.

  • Working?!

    Wahoo! I’ve gotten of my rear – too little too late as usual – and am making phone calls to drive contracts to me.

  • Caught up

    Fantastic! I’ve caught up electronically a bit. That feels good. Now to return to some brief cleaning then I’ll make some phone calls.

  • Take your pictures while you can

    Congress targets cell phone camera peeping Toms Ok. Posting pictures without permission should not be allowed. Good down to earth morals should keep people from taking pictures say in a locker room or bathroom. I should not be prevented from taking calls in a locker room or bathroom. Too much of my life depends on receiving text messages and phone calls. If some urgent matter comes up and I’m taking 30-45 minutes in the locker room to enjoy a shower or steam room or sauna I should still be able to receive my calls despite the little camera on the phone. If someone wants to take pictures in the locker room they darn well will sneak camera in.

    Once again, our fantastic society makes life hellish by threating the symptoms and not the problem.

    Terrorists Attack Cape Fear Museum with 150 Year Old Ordnance

    …a contractor working on the water front brought in a Civil War canon ball as a donation to the museum. A good gesture, but what he didn’t know is that the canon ball had a round of shot with the fuse still intact.

  • UFOs

    Mexican Air Force pilots film unidentified objects

    “This is historic news,” Maussan told reporters. “Hundreds of videos (of UFOs) exist, but none had the backing of the armed forces of any country. … The armed forces don’t perpetuate frauds.”
