Just busy (building things; finally finished SWMBO’s bookcase) and it’s a pain in the butt to get on the Internet from the house. (I’m sitting in the library in Belfair doing this right now.)
Not much else going on. Weather is cooling off (bummer!) and we’re still finding places for our things in the new house.

Around here. Weather is going to be pretty good (for me) today and I am looking forward to that. Our Realtor is stopping by around 1400 to see what we’ve been doing with the place. Lot’s of "straightening up" going on!

SWMBO has gone crazy buying me tools to get my woodshop together and producing. She picked out a set of bookshelves she wants me to build for her room. So I’m trying to fast track my re-education in woodworking. Getting several different types of joints down pat. Cool!

Having fun playing with my Blackberry. Downloaded a video-to-3gp program from DVDVideoSoft (they have some of the best FREE programs to convert things!) and am converting some of my movies/tv shows to .mp4 files and they show great on the Blackberry. Small but watchable if we were out on a trip somewhere (or I was waiting somewhere) and I got bored.

Also put some of my favorite music on it and find myself listening more to my music than I have in the past several years. It’s nice to put the earbuds in and listen to "In-a-godda-da-vida" or "Happy Trails" (Quicksilver Messenger Service) while doing things around the house or in the basement.

Sorry, Folks, there just ain’t much going on.

Oh, bought me a laptop and it should be here in the next few days. Compaq Preserio 2.1Ghz 15.6" screen system that I’ll use to go over to a friends house with high speed Internet and download Smallville & Supernatural & Fringe when the new season starts. Cost only $389.99 (which took forever for me to save up). Oh, it has 3Gig RAM but only a 160G hard drive. I can always get a larger hard drive. I’m trying to figure out if it will replace this POS Intel desktop system I have or not. There is a good possibility of me doing that. I will never knowingly buy another Intel desktop. They’ve been filed in the same POS category as Iomega (who I will Never buy anything from again).

Sure will be glad when they get cable tv out here. Just for the Internet access. Most times I use my phone to download something I get 2-6kb with occasional spikes to 32kb download speeds. That Sucks! Especially when you’re used to way much higher cable speeds. That’s why I’ll be going over to a friends house to download stuff. He’s got like a 2.5MB download speed at his place. Cool!

Anywho, that’s it from around here.

Desert Storm 1990/1

Old post but haven’t been able to post until now. Not much has changed. Still SSDD around here.

New laptop is working out great. Use it to convert our movies and tv shows to avi. Over at a friends house downloading updates and things. Later!

Thank goodness! About time! I have enjoyed this run of hot weather like you wouldn’t believe. Too bad it won’t last… Haven’t seen any thunderstorms yet. Damn, I love this weather!

Other than that nothing much going on. Still working on the temporary book shelves I’m building for the living room. I can been such a dork sometimes! Put the damned thing together half the right way and half the wrong way. Decided to add two more uprights to make the shelves shorter for better support (less bowing from the weight of books) and found that the 3 uprights I already have were an inch longer than the rest of my boards. So I had to take the whole thing apart and cut the 3 uprights to length of the others. WHY don’t I figure these things out BEFORE I put things together?

Put a dvd together for SWMBO where she does a tour of our new house for her folks. Added my video from our Sisters trip and all her pictures from the quilt show. Turned out all right. Sent a copy off to the in-laws and a friend of mine in Pennsylvania. Today I mailed a couple off to Uncles I haven’t seen in years but got back in contact with.

Just not much happening.

Did get out to the property today and pulled up some smaller trees, brought them back to the house and replanted them out back. Want to make a screen of trees just in case whoever owns the land back there decides to chop all their trees down. If this works I’ll get more and plant them all along the front of our property.
