Sunday, Sunday. SSDD.

And I do mean SSDD! There just ain’t much going on. Well, not if you count the every-day things as just every-day things, that is. So I guess I ought to give you the most boring blow-by-blow anyway. Let’s see. Last entry was, Holy Shit, the 13th. Daymn! Last:

Sunday: Nice warm day. Which I spent at home. Got dishes done. Rearranged the storage room and our internet electronics. Fixed the back sliding door. Some laundry. Played with a few of my video editing programs. Dirty Jobs Marathon.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o />

Monday: Damne Fine Day! Half of which I spent out at the property just laying in the sun and reading.

Tuesday: Damn Fine Day! (Which means sunny & warm to me. Sunny & "Damn it’s HOT!" for real Wasrhingtonians.) Half of which I spent out at the property just laying in the sun and reading. Took SWMBO to Q-Doba’s for dinner as she really likes their food and a new one has opened up at the COSTCO shopping area. Had a chicken taco salad. Wasn’t too bad. It’s kind of "foo-foo Mexican."

Wednesday: Fairly nice weatherwise. But kinda cloudy/hazy. Warm though. Stayed home as my truck was in the shop getting a new alternator. $425! Phew. Meanwhile, I cleaned the woodstove and did some other stuff around the house. See, SSDD!

Thursday: Got up EARLY and got out to the property with Phil & Matt EARLY to meet the driver picking up my logs. Had a whole load! Cool!Then Phil & Matt & I cut some wood and brought it back to Phil’s house. Been scanning SWMBO’s pile of papers she asked me to run through the scanner. Thank Goodness for the Sheet Feeder!

And, of course, it was the season 8 premiere of Smallville! Too cool. Noticed during the credits that Kristen’s name was missing so it really looks like the Lana Angst is over. Great! But I don’t know about Chloe giving up on Clark to marry Jimmy. Still think they should get together for a couple of weeks anyway! :grin:

However, Michael Rosenbaum was also missing from the credits so it looks like they’ve moved Lex on to other things. Which is good as it follows the Superman legend closer to what it’s supposed to be. They’d do great to have Lex come back every so often to menace Clark anew. And they did take Lex just about as far down the path to evil as they could. Still, I’m going to miss Michael’s portrayal of Lex.

And speaking of moving on: I’m glad they finally have Clark moving away from the farm and working at the Daily Planet. I hope you guys know that I hope the show goes on for another few years! :-P I don’t like the new character as the acting CEO of Luthorcorp though…

Friday: I had a headache all day.Took SWMBO to breakfast at FHP. Took a load to the dump. $15 for a truck full of stuff. Got the final (maybe) plans from the Architect to go over this weekend and if there are no changes then he’ll send them to the Engineer Monday. Engineer usually takes a couple of weeks for his part. Then it’s off to Mason County… (But I wouldn’t bet on it being Monday. SWMBO still has to go over the plans and she just cannot not change something!:grin:)

Saturday: It rained most of the day so I stayed home and goofed off. Well, except for driving to Sears in Silverdale and picking up my new tool box and bringing it home. Big thing! Then I spent a couple of hours putting it together and trying to get all my tools in one place. THAT job ought to take a month of Sunday’s!

Today was a SSDD Sunday. Did the first session at church (one of the sister’s told me I had a nice singing voice) and then drove out to the property and spent an hour making sure my drainage was working right. Mostly it was. Put in a couple of small trenches to catch more runoff and direct if off the road. Than came on home and have been backing up some of the stuff I’ve ripped to DVD (as .avi files). I’m doing that cause I’d hate to have to re-rip all that stuff if I ever lost the hard drives in the Media Server. Made baked Ham and steamed green beans and SWMBO made candied yams for dinner. Was yummy!

And that’s about it. Are you bored to tears yet?

Just Had To Pass This On…

Now the fucking Senate is working for the RIAA Nazis:

"A U.S. Senate panel on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a bill backed by the recording industry that would give federal prosecutors the power to file civil lawsuits against peer-to-peer users who violate copyright laws… Groups such as the American Library Association and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are opposed to portions, including the Justice Department pursuing taxpayer-funded lawsuits on behalf of private parties."

Wonder how much it cost to buy that Senate Panel? You all (Y’all) realize that you let this POS RIAA get as powerful as it has by your inaction, right? Quit buying cd’s/music for a month to let the Artists know that we don’t appreciate their police department nor the RIAA’s tactics. Oh, you’re too weak to do without buying a cd for a month? Figures.

Life Goes On! And It’s Busy!

At least, I’ve been busy. Mostly. To be honest though, I haven’t posted in so long partially from laziness also. It’s not like I have anything new to pass on most of the time. Let’s see, the last time I did this was the 3rd. So…

Thursday: Mostly sunny & Warm; which I like. Spent most of the day at the property. Made meatloaf for dinner.

Friday: SWMBO took me to Red Lobster for endless shrimp. Was good. Walked around Sears afterwards looking for a weedwacker mower but wound up buying me a tool box. Then we went to COSTCO and bought some stuff and came on home. I made a trip to Home Depot for some things…

Got Season 7 of Smallville in! Cool!
vlcsnap-00848

Saturday: Warm afternoon. At the property.

Sunday: Nice warm day. At the property. (Anyone else see a pattern here?)

Monday: Nice WARM day. Which I, again, spent at the property. Laid out in the sun and read for awhile. Moved some dirt. Loaded some wood into the back of the truck. Laid out and read some more. Came home. Was NICE!

Tuesday: Cloudy. Sunny. Warm. Which I spent at home today. Cool! Stayed in bed WAY too long this morning though. Got the woodshed ready for more wood and all the junk out. Cool!

Wednesday: Took Phillip & Matthew (friends of ours) out to the property to cut up some wood. Could bring only a truck full back. Phillip was so, uh, ungainly with the chainsaw that I did most of the cutting cause I was afraid he’d cut his leg off.

Thursday: Nice Hot Day. So I went out to the property and laid out in the sun and read for awhile. Brought a load of Phillips wood back with me. Made scetti for dinner

Friday: Had a 1000 meeting with Matt from Manke Lumber at the property so he could look at the pile of logs I have for sale. He was very effusive (is that the word I’m looking for?) in his compliments on my decision to cut the logs at the 40’ mark. Said he’d send me the handout of log rices and such (which I still haven’t seen) and maybe set up a pickup time for next Monday. Still haven’t heard from him. But that has shot my plans to rent a splitter Monday and split that pile of wood I have outside. After the meeting I came on back home and picked up SWMBO and we went to breakfast at FHP in Port Orchard. Then to COSTCO where we spent way too much money on "stuff." $153! Phew!

Today was another HOT day. I love it! And as usual I spent most of the day at the property moving rocks and dirt around. Added another log to the pile of logs for Manke. Laid out and read for awhile. When I came back I brought the last of the wood Phillip & I cut the other day and dropped it off at his house. Just been lounging around the house. Well, after making dinner. Folding some laundry. Burning some dvd’s.

And that’s it. Ain’t my life exciting!?! Hopefully, a thousand years from now some anthropologist will stumble on these old blogs (Blogs? What the hell’s a Blog?) and decipher them and publish them under the heading of "21st Century Man. It’s A Wonder He Didn’t Commit Suicide His Life Was So NORMAL." and make a zillion of their bucks and spend the rest of his/her life just ’chillin’.

Catch Up Time? Again?

Which would be great if I could remember what the hell I’ve been doing. It all kind of runs together…

Saturday: SWMBO took me to dinner at Taco Bell and to see “The Mummy: Emperor’s Tomb”. Movie was about an hour too long… The Gig Harbor theater is SO much better than the theater in Port Orchard. “The Mummy: Emperor’s Tomb” almost sucked. I thought that if they couldn’t use Rachel for her part then they should have killed her off or said she was busy somewhere else.

Sunday: First session of church. Stayed home as it was kind of cool. Finally cleaned my truck out. There had to be a half inch of dust in the thing. I can see the speedometer again! And there’s this little green light thingie that comes on when I press the cruise control button. Cool!

Monday: Labor Day. Mostly stayed home. Did get by Staples to see what they had “on sale.” Came home with a couple of 100 packs of blank DVD’s. Wasted a lot of the day watching/listening to the Dirty Job’s Marathon. You Go For It, Mike!

Tuesday: Spent a large part of the day out at the property cutting wood. I think I cut almost a couple of cords. Brought a load of it back home.

Today: SWMBO is off to her office as usual for a Wednesday. Architect dropped by to review the plans and we drove out to the property for a look-around. I stayed and moved dirt. Brought home a truck full of wood. Hurt my left leg somehow. Probably just getting old…

And that’s it. I think I’m caught up. Damn! It’s bedtime…

I don’t know who’s in charge of the programming at the Sci Fi Channel; but they suck. I volunteer to do a better job for them for half the bucks. They’ve canceled several good shows to put on some more of those terrible ’made for sci-fi channel’ movies. And how in the hell can they give us half a season of Battlestar Galactica and make us wait until sometime in 2009 for the rest? Think I’ll wait for the DVD.

ONLY 14 MORE DAYS UNTIL SEASON 8 OF SMALLVILLE! Y’all (All Y’all actually) need to update your calendars!
