OMG THAT HURT!!!

Posted on by

Woke up yesterday morning already into a full-blown migraine headache that hung on all day. Worst I’ve had in many years. It actually hurt to think. Let me say that again: It Hurt To Think!. (No, really. It did.)

Needless to say (but I will anyway cause it’s MY blog) I was pretty much totally useless all day. Tried freezing my brain; didn’t work. Tried heating my brain; didn’t work. Took way too much ibuprofen and aspirin. Didn’t work. So I didn’t get much “work” done as I wanted to. Didn’t trust myself to drive either so I didn’t even check mail.

Damned Beautiful But So Much The Loser When She Doesn't NEED You.

I tried sleeping after my normal bedtime but it was off and on. Was looking at the clock at 0202 when, in the space of a second (as the clock switched over from 0202 to 0203), the pain was completely gone. Nada. Zilch. Like I’d never had a headache in my life. WTF? So I got some quality sleep until 0515 this morning.

Been moving the Renters “stuff” into storage  uphill out of Belfair. Having to pack it all, load it into the truck, take it up, unload it, repeat. Man, she has a lot of stuff! Texted her today that I’m doing that and that I’ve reported her two remaining cars as abandoned and gathering all her “outside” stuff into a pile. Haven’t heard back from her. Yet. Not really looking forward to it either.

She does have a nice underwear drawer though. Cat-O-Nine-Tails. That sort of stuff. Nice.

So, I’m about 3/4 the way to getting the MILA empty. Then I have to go after the stuff outside. Multiple Subaru engines, butt-ton of tires and springs and just parts laying all over the place. I’ve only got to keep all her stuff until 30 May and then I can do with it what I want. OR she can come claim (and remove) it anytime until then. It could go either way right now…

No Idea What They Did To Make The Floor Pucker Like That.

Whole place needs to be cleaned and repainted. We’re going to replace all the lights presently in there with LED lights like we just put in SWMBO’s sewing room. Several of the smaller, round, led lights in the kitchen and hallway (I’m thinking). Try to make it feel less like a dungeon or basement. All the blinds need to be replaced. At least half the floor in the master bed room needs to be replaced.

Anywho, that’s probably enough bitching. Looks like my days will be busy for awhile. Which could be a good thing when you’re my age and “retired.”

Vitamin B12 Deficiency?

Posted on by

Of the list of symptoms, I have or have had:

  • Weakness and fatigue
  • Light-headedness and dizziness
  • Palpitations and rapid heartbeat
  • Shortness of breath
  • Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet
  • Difficulty walking
  • Muscle weakness
  • Irritability (but don’t get me started!)

GPNG-006No way to tell if the Depression is any worse than normal since I’m a diagnosed Depression freak. Doesn’t really feel any worse but I use a lot of “self-talk” in my day anyway.

So, SWMBO bought me some B12 tablets at COSTCO yesterday and I’m going to take one a day “just in case.” Nothing I can find about overdosing on B12 seems to be really dangerous so I’m not really worried about it. And if it makes me feel better then any danger from an overdose is worth it.

Not a whole lot else going on since it’s off and on raining and cold out. Me and the Dog been on a couple of walks way bundled up and mostly waterproof. Mostly staying in side though.

Hooked my old laser disc player up to that monitor I put together for SWMBO and have been playing “War of the Worlds” on it just to see if it all still works. Works. Picture doesn’t seem to be as sharp as I remember it; but tthat may be the monitor I’m using. Although it’s a newer monitor. Hmmm…

Started setting the new pi 3 up for radio stuff. Nothing seemed to be working until I remembered to hook up the various interfaces so things like the Signalink would work! Duh! Got to feeling really tired though so I still have things to do later.

Anywho, think I’ll go lay down and read a bit.

Rainy Friday. So We Burned Trash.

Posted on by

So, thinking of buying a MikroTik RB2011UiAS-RM Routerboard Rackmount 5xLAN 5xGbit LAN 1xSFP for my office because I really need more ethernet connections. Every time I turn around I’m adding something that needs the Internet or Network. The 4-port router I have now just ain’t cuttin’ the mustard.

Faster Internet would be a real boon too. This DSL is fine; but wish we had something faster out here in the boonies.

Added another Raspberry Pi3 with working wi-fi and bluetooth (but haven’t gotten the bluetooth to work yet). Still trying to find the MAC to add it to the list of devices that can access the Network. Until then I’m unplugging something from the network and plugging this in. Pain in the ass!

Setting up the radio Pi to be a print/scanner server and it ain’t turning out to be an easy thing to do. Lots of things to manually install and set up. I’ll get it; it just ain’t gonna be quick. Would be nice to get rid of the Windows XP computer sitting there though. Hang the Pi on the wall and free up some counter top space.

Got my 857d back! Woo Woo! It seems to be working just fine and I already have it set up to scan 10,20,40,80,160 meters and letting it run for awhile. Got to get completely set up for Field Day before Field Day. Still deciding between the laptop or the new Pi3 since I’ll be doing psk31/digital modes.

Like the headline says: it rained pretty much all danged day so we burned the burnables. Only made half our walks cause neither of us really wanted to stay out in the rain. Yesterday was so nice! Supposed to be the possibility of Thunder storms tomorrow. Sure. Pigs fly too.

Just Not Feeling Like Posting Often Lately

And I don’t know why. Other than being extraordinairly boring, that is.

Dog and I did think we found a “tripwire” in the woods at the head of Mow Lane yesterday! I notified the Sheriff and they checked it out and let me know that someone was just stringing fishing line out there. He asked me if I checked it out to see if it was connected to anything. Way above my paygrade!

Started raining again today and everything is soaked. Really soaked. No real downpours just steady all damned day.

Had a meteorite blow up over Western WaRshington last night. Lots of people saw the flash since it lit up the horizon. Shook some folks around too. Glad it blew up in the air and not on impact! Cool!

Started fixing up the book cases in the library. One of them anyway. Feels nice to get off my ass.
