Like this. Mostly warmer with a lot of sun and just plain nice out. Would have been a great day to get out on the Digger and do something! Ah well…

Mostly a pretty normal Friday.  SWMBO went to Tacoma for a job interview early. We were waiting around for a couple that was supposed to drop by and look at the MILA; but they decided not to. Butt-heads could have called and let US know!

SWMBO took me out to dinner and to walk the mall for our Friday Date. Dinner was excellent but the company was better!

We walked through (well, moseyed through) Barnes & Noble and I saw the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 for the same price as I got it at Amazon (minus shipping). Heck, I could have had it two days ago; instead of waiting for Amazon to ship it. Which they did today. Estimated arrival tomorrow. Sure!…

And that’s another thing: SWMBO bought three paperback books. I’m pretty hard pressed to buy an actual Book anymore. I’d rather have it (or them) on my Kindle or Nexus 7 and read from there. I can carry a lot more “books” that way. An exception might be a Technical/Instruction book of some sort; nice to have it to look at while doing whatever on the computer. But I hardly ever buy hard copy anymore. Heck, I’m still trying to scan all the paper/records I have into pdf or epub files…

Let’s see: I’m scanning all my papers/records/files to pdf/epub. Ripping all our CD’s to mp3’s. Ripping all our movies/tv shows to .mp4. All for access over our LAN. Yeah, I guess you could say I’m a electronical kind of guy! Hell, even my “Diary” (this blog) is electronic.

Not bad for an OLD Guy!

Let’s see. Wednesday, Nate came over and picked up the Digger. Goodbye, Digger. I’ll miss you! (Six years! I had her six years!)

So, after checking with SWMBO to be sure it was okay, I “consoled” myself by making a run to Wal-Mart to pick up a Nexus 7. Only, Wal-Mart didn’t have any Nexus 7’s. (Even though they had a sign up saying the price.) So I went to Staples. THEY had them for the same price as Wal-Mart. (Thank you, Staples.)

So I got me a Nexus 7. So far I like it. I think I still like reading on the Kindle better; but the Nexus 7 does a whole bunch of things the Kindle can’t. Of course, I sort of enjoy the “setting things up” part more than anything else. Sort of. Spent a couple of hours playing with the Nexus 7 last night…

And I’m not even sure if the Nexus 7 can replace the Digger… I’ll give my review of it at a later date. Once I’ve had a chance to really put it through it’s paces.

Haven’t really done much of anything today except make a trip to my bank. Lots of traffic on the main drag of Belfair today!!! I don’t know where they were coming from or where they were going but there sure was a lot of them.

NMARES meeting at 1900 tonight at the QFC. I kind of expect only 2-3 of us will show up.

And that’s about it for now. I’ll wait to post this until after the meeting.

I’m back! Meeting went as usual except we actually had a new guy show up. Cool!

Now that’s it…

But I really wouldn’t expect it to be otherwise.

MCARC Tuesday 10-meter Chat Net @ 1930 on 28.450 USB.

Ah well. Off to the Post Office.

And stop at Safeway to get some milk. (At least I got out of the house!)

Decided to make sort of a “stir-fry” for dinner. Cubed Pork Chops marinated in soy juice and red wine stuff.  Next I’ll fry it in the sauce then add veggies & cabbage and my “secret” sauce and served with some rice (for SWMBO). I’ll let y’all know how it turned out! (It was fairly good, actually.)

Turned out to be a fairly decent day. Sun didn’t really come out until really late afternoon. But I got out on the Digger and finished the ditch out back. So I’m really done with the Digger now.

And that’s about it from here…
