The finance guy dropped some paperwork by that the builder needs to fill out. He says that the people he’s talking to about a loan has basically given him first approval. Cool! I’d sure like to at least get the money in the bank! Even if the weather is starting to get really crappy.

Never Give Up. Never Surrender!

I hated to see the end of the Battlestar Galactica series last March; and really hated that it wouldn’t be restarting until Jan 08, but now I see the commercial for the next season and it says it won’t be starting until MARCH 08. You Bastards! Waiting nine months was bad enough but now you put it off until March. You Bastards!

Battlestar Galactica: Razor was most excellent! It was a gas to see the old cylons and their fighters. And Admiral Kane lip locking her own number 6. Cool! I still think this is the best series on TV. Gritty. Realistic. Believable. Cool!

Catching up: Thanksgiving was pretty nice. Our son, Brian, came over for dinner (well, I picked him up and took him home) and my brother-in-law Robert was aboard for awhile. (Don’t get me started!)

Friday noon I took SWMBO for a late breakfast at the Family Pancake House in Port Orchard. It’s always nice being out with her! Then at 1600 I had a Doctor’s appointment to drain this bursitis on my right elbow. He did pretty good. Got about 30 cc of fluid out of the thing. They also did a throat culture for my sore throat (negative) and generally checked me out. I have some form of pharyngitis and should take my antihistamine and keep my mouth shut for awhile. Okay.

Mostly sat around today. Not feeling well. Took my antihistamine and felt rotten all day. Damn, that stuff isn’t supposed to cause drowsiness! Did manage to start up my digger and run it awhile to keep the battery charged and things lubricated. Stocked wood in the house for tonight (supposed to get cold!). Accidently threw a rock through our front window playing with the dog so I have to fix that. Damn! I sure can be klutzy at times. What a dork.

So I got off my ass and (finally!) power washed the walk in front of the house and got all that moss off it. Now maybe I won’t feel like I’m walking on ice when I walk on it. Also picked up that pile of bark that was left over from splitting wood and got it into the back of my truck. Maybe tomorrow me and Poop Dog will take it up to the property and burn it. Made spaghetti for dinner. Yummy!

Was playing with Music Maker last night (and early this am). Made a couple of great sounding loops but having problems with my sound. About half way through it’s like the sound forgets where it is and starts squealing and jumping around. It sucks! If I hit pause when it starts and then play it works okay for the rest of the loop. I’ve tried unloading everything I can and keep Windows running but hat hasn’t helped. Thought it might have been this utility NV puts in their boards to control the ’sound’ of your sound. Like Concert Hall or Live or Rock Band. Stopping that utility REALLY messed up the sound. Even movies couldn’t get decent amplitude. Took forever to get the sound back to normal. I’d hate to think that with 1 Gig of RAM I don’t have enough memory. Hmmm…. Maybe it I defragged the drive?…

This is the telescope I have. Well, it’s not really the telescope I have. It’s a PICTURE of the telescope I have. Wait, that’s not true either. It’s a picture of the model of the telescope I have. It’s really some other telescope that someone took a picture of but it looks like the one I have. The telescope; not the picture. I don’t have a picture of my telescope. Where were we?

Went to Subway for our Friday ’date’. Got in line behind a Hockey Team and had quite a wait! After eating we went and renewed our Costco membership then spent a couple of hours walking the aisles. Not counting the $50 for membership we only spent $40. Cool! Saw lots of neat things though! Almost picked up one of the 500 Gig drives for $150.

Saturday was a pretty normal winter day. SWMBO did her usual at the Genealogy library and I just straightened up around the house. Started the digger up and let it run awhile. Made sure the generator was working for the next wind storm. Took Poop Dog out to the property and ran him around awhile. Cold and breezy but nice.

Really normal Sunday today. First session of church then home. Ripped and converted the 3 X-Men movies to a dvd. Now I can put it in and watch all three without a break if I want to. Doing the Terminator movies now. Looking forward to the third Bourne movie to come out so I can do that with them.

Told Ya!
