Still, Still, Still, STILL SSDD!

Just more of the same.

Had an older friend (yes, older than I) come over about 0930 for me to straighten up a few things on his laptop. Something re-associated his document files with MS Word (which he doesn’t have on his laptop anymore) so all I had to do was re-associate them with LibreOffice. He couldn’t recreate a couple of other problems he claims he’d been having, but they weren’t anything really important anyway.

The couple that came over last night to look at the piano called a couple of times today. They’re having problems finding anyone to transport the thing to their place. Say they won’t be able to pick it up until Friday a week from now. I don’t care. Things gone; it just hasn’t left the building.

Not much else going on. Have a meeting of NMARES at 1900 (about 1.5 hours from now) down at the QFC in town. That outta be fun! Only thing I have going there is having to show one of the “new” Technicians how to use his handheld radio. Damned thing has been tough for me to learn the basics so I’m not sure what I’ll be able to teach him. We’ll see.

It’s 2130 now and I’m back from the NMARES meeting. Went well. Had a whole 8 people show up! Getting better. Next maybe I’ll be able to talk them into actually doing something. Naw. That ain’t gonna happen.

Think I’ll go bug SWMBO for awhile.

Nope. Haven’t Posted Lately…

Cause it’s just been SSDD around here. Doing my usual daily routine plus picking SWMBO up at the Ferry Terminal in the evenings. Been missing my usual Chat Nets because of it but it’s important to me to support her efforts in keeping us solvent.

How Can Anyone Believe We're The Only Life To Exist?

Speaking of that: I left here at 1800 last night so I could make a run to Staples to get her some document protectors, figuring it would take some time. It didn’t. Got done with that by 1830 (hardly any traffic at all!) so made a run to the Vape Shop in Bremerton and was still 45 minutes early to pick SWMBO up. So I “flew” in X-Plane on my Nexus and listened to my handheld radio. Quiet Time!

Placed an ad on Craig’s List giving away that old upright piano we’ve had for 5 years or so and that we never touch except to store things on the flat surfaces. Man! Got 20 responses in just under 2 hours! So, to be fair, I started with the earliest e-mail I got and will work my way to the latest until someone takes it. Disappointing for some but it can’t be helped. I took the ad down to curtail any further responses/inquiries.

This Could Be Your Grandma!

Also put up ads for the Nexus 7 I got SWMBO, the Pool Table, and my Kindle reader. So far only one person has asked about the Pool Table. Oh, one person wanted to know if the Nexus 7 is the newest version (2?); nope. Those are going for $260+ online. For the asking price of $170 I’d expect it to be the “older” model. But that’s me.

Not much else going on. Waiting for the first people to come over and look at the piano. Getting dinner ready. (Baked BBQ Chops, Cheesy Taters, and Peas from our garden. The peas; not the other stuff.)

Well, people came and looked at the piano and decided they want it. Now they have to figure out how to get it to their house; they don’t have a truck. MAYBE I’ll load it into the back of my truck and get it to their place if they’ll pay me for gas. Maybe. Seemed like nice folks but it’s not as if I’m looking for a new home for a dog or cat.
