I’m already sick of the damned rain! Been raining several days now; which pretty much keeps me home. This keeps up and I’ll NEED to find a job. Cabin fever is setting in. Guess I’m too used to getting out during the day. But I’ve done about as much as I can do out at the property so there’s no sense in wasting gas going out there and back.

^{So, who knows what movie this picture is from?}

Had a couple of Spammers sign up as subscribers. Assholes! It’s bad enough that they send us all unwanted/unasked for e-mail. But at least they have to take time out of their schedule to sign in and sign up manually!

Not only am I on mine 10 hours a day (making music, ripping my dvd’s, scanning pictures, whatever) but I spent a good 6 hours today building a computer for a friend of mine, installing Linux and getting the damned modem to work. Finally did it. Finally got it over to his house and set up. Finally got the damned thing to connect to Juno (of all places). And he finally got to read his mail.

This week has been pretty much SSDD. Been staying around the house cause of the weather: Rain. Did manage to get out to the property yesterday and put in some more drainage; hopefully my road won’t wash out this year! Our regular "date night" last Friday was later than usual as SWMBO worked the Genealogy Library 1000-1400. Then we drove into Tacoma to return the flooring samples she’d borrowed and ate at a very slow Pizza Hut (next to Timberline Bank) before heading home. Made our usual stop at Albertson’s and spent our usual too much. I hate driving in traffic! I can but I hate it. (I did learn to drive in L.A. a long time ago.) At least with the new bridge the old bridge (coming back this way) is a lot faster.

Not much else going on. Been watching the news and am not encouraged. That $700 Billion "bailout" finalized at around $850 Billion cause buttheads kept adding stuff to the bill. Why in the Hell can’t they pass a Bill for what it was supposed to be ONLY? God forbid they should try to save the Taxpayers some money!

And no one has tried to spam me! Wow! Double Wow! Nine people have lives even more pathetic than mine that they read my blog for some excitement! No, no, I’m just kidding, folks. I appreciate each subscriber and hope y’all check in and leave a comment every once in a while. All are welcome!

Not much going on. It’s Friday and I’m sitting watching Headline News (where everything is talked to death). SWMBO is covering the Genealogy Library (in Bremerton) for someone 1000-1400 today so we won’t be going for our usual breakfast at the FHP in Port Orchard. I think she has plans for us to return some flooring samples to the store in Tacoma this afternoon and find a place to eat over there. Outback Steakhouse sounds good to me!

Weather has turned nasty with rain a greater part of the day yesterday. Cloudy and cool today with more on the way for the week. Guess the time for going out to the property and getting naked is over for the year. Bummer! I hate winter! Went to the Sears warehouse yesterday to pick up SWMBO’s new weed whacker on wheels and it started to downpour just as I pulled in to their parking lot, kept raining as we were loading it into the back of my truck, but stopped just as soon as I pulled out of their parking lot. Go figure!

Been watching all the political stuff on tv and still have absolutely no idea who to vote for. The thing I worry about is some Redneck Asshole with a rifle out there that doesn’t want no "Black SOB A-rab" as POTUS. I hope I’m wrong though. If he were assassinated the riots afterwards would tear the whole country apart.

Anywho, y’all, it’s been a fairly normal week even though going out to the property is going into ’once a week to see how things are holding together’ mode. I think I’ll spend this winter getting some of the things done that I’ve been meaning to do around this house. Some molding and things like that. The computer I was working on for Phillip up the road went TU so I’ll have to work around that. Dog needs a flea bath. DVD’s to rip and convert. Old family pictures to scan and store. Old cruise books from the USS Turner Joy (DD-951) to scan and store. I really ought to get off my ass!
