Took my auto mechanics exam and are very satisfied with how it went.

Told ya so, Ian.

OK - what did I do today...

I troubleshot and repaired 2 new install classrooms, tested a tape drive for the DLT Library on the 'other' server rack, and helped my coworker do some work that Norm was supposed to already have done many months ago... but apparently didn't.

Also scored an idea on what to get the Mrs for V-Day, and got the ball rolling on that.

Was inspired by LL and a few sales so I went and bought some new cloths.

I got awfull damn drunk.... and that is all i have to add...

Boy, you we'rnt the only one!

Lemme see; got up, finished up putting the new dining table and chairs together, cut up the old ones so they'll fit in the bin, swept the garden, cleaned both cars. Off out tonight too.

Woke up with hangover... gawd i feel old.

Attempting at throwing out old stuff and realise that there is so much of those to throw out so partly gave up for time being.....

Attempted to get of couch, was rewarded with spinning scenery, made it to PC... returning to couch and cold glass of water.

Sounds like me this morning... Now, I'm trying to talk myself into doing some more packing... only got a week left 'til the move... I am sooo not ready for this...

Finally got my 4x4 club's domain name registered and working on my webserver. I also am now much smarter on how to host multiple sites on my machine and I think it will work, except that I'll need to restructure my webroot directory at some point in the future. Hopefully, when they finally release the domain name I want (I foolishly registered it last year without knowing what the Hell I was doing), I'll get things squared away and happy on my end.

Meanwhile, the new 4x4 club website is: http://www.concho4wheelers.org They wanted '.com' but they're also simple enough that they don't realize that there are many extensions for domain names.

The club's webpages are also undergoing a major rebuild, so if something's under construction, it won't be that way for long.

Tested a few guitars, in preperation of a purchase next week, drank half a bottle of fine italian red wine and had a frickin huge T bone steak for dinner.


Sorted!:)

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe, thats my plan for Sunday Ace.

Done some shopping, went to footie, and then saw The Australian Pink Floyd show at Salisbury. What a show, stunning!!!

Been on the beer all day really, getting a bit tired...

zzzzzzz.....

Sweet-assed next to nothing. Being vertical still giving me the whillies, going to watch "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" and then get some Zs.

Went to a hockey game, saw my team win 11-1.

Like we said,"Piece of Cake"

Finished rebuilding a 3rd computer from odd's and end's, Going to take it to Dad's house, to try to get his stuff organized.

Woke up and now getting ready to head to the gym for a bit.

Went to my 'local' church (somewhat about 7 miles down the road to be local!!) to steward the meeting.....

Then I am off to see my Mother.....Brain Dead Mode...<Check> Donning Dark Glasses...<Check> Doc Marten Shoe....<check check> Key......<oh Sugar! Searching mode on......>

Going to do dishes, vacuum and generally finish clean up that I started yesterday.

Just had brekkie... now intend to drive family mad with 90 minute clean-up regimen.

Taskmaster Wd strikes again. lol.

Get ta cleanin'!!!!!!!!

SFA!

Good on you, ya slacker. Enjoy your day.
Gots to get to work here, or someone will be hoofing me arse later

So far I've achieved nothing today. Going to plan so far.....

Straightened up my Comp room, made dinner and read some of my book.

My friend made me run Baal runs in Diablo 2 and I hit level 41 which was nice. Now I just need level 46 to use a +3 traps amulet. Baal runs get really boring though.

With a hangover???? you are the man wd

Went to work and realise it's a Monday so decide not to do any work in attempt to lessen the risk of the Sod's Law from occuring....

Saturday: ripped apart an 87 Wagoneer- took out the powerpack, axles, springs, driveshafts, everything not attached to the body. Took home the axles, driveshafts, springs, wheels and tires, and steerage. All of my parts for the Blazer SAS are now in hand. Now I get to learn how to do Ring and Pinion work! While I'm at it, going to go ahead and put an Aussie Locker in the rear and some sort of selectable locker up front

Sunday: not much- went wheeling, found out I need to do some major hacking of the fenderwells as I was stuffing my tires into the fenders front and rear to the extent they jammed still. Found out why my brakes suck-- the rears weren't working. Somehow, the emergency brake was assembled backwards by the previous owner, as well.

Monday: found out I'm supposed to be in Iceland. Wish someone had told me....

Bored out of ma skull!

what MB said.

well been busy so far, mainly with a damn laptop that keeps freezing for no reason whatsoever, no messages in the Event viewer, nothing, zip!

the only thing left is a reinstall methinks

Cleared out all the useless and outdated files from my new office... took ALL day.

Nobody wants to know what I did all day, trust me...

Guest appearance, bk?? Nice to see you.

Nah- just been busy.

Turns out I am going to Alaska on the 17th February-2nd March. Just in time for the COLD season. Yay.

Took a note from everyone that suggested proper cold weather gear and scored a $300 arctic parka from Cabellas, unused, on Ebay for $60. It ROCKS, if I do say so myself... and I do. Will pick up boots and a snow bib when I get on site as I figure they'll be a heck of a lot cheaper there in WalMart and the like, than I can get them over the web and shipped to SC. Got lots of fleece <I love Ebay>, including this swank headsock that coverts 4 or 5 different ways. I don't plan on getting cold.

I'm basically as ready as I will ever be to freeze my dangly bits solid. I might have to adapt to the situation and wear more substantial undergarments, as I fully plan to be out in it while I'm up there if I'm not actively at work.

My latest interest other than the standard vehicle modifications: Mini Speedwing . All up from ground zero to put into the air it was just under $150 <not including battery and charger, which I already had>. It's EPP foam, so it'll take more than it's share of lawn-darting before it's unflyable. Truth to tell, I don't think I can break it bad enough to make it unflyable- and if I did, it's $30 for another airframe. Foam and packing tape- what a great construction medium- nothing a little 5 minute epoxy can't fix. I'm pretty hardcore into flying now, since I don't have to keep fixing my balsa ships <truth to tell, I've even started repairing my built-up balsa handlaunch gliders>. I'm working on a way to take the MSW with me that won't freak TSA right the hell out. Maybe if I keep the transmitter in a case with my HAM license and AMA license <Aviation Modelers of America> it'll console them a bit <even though the HAM license is completely unneeded for RC>. I've seen folks in the airport with a plane strapped to their luggage, so I might be onto something there...

-now for real kicks, I ought to figure out a way to transport built-up wings to and fro so I can build planes while I'm on the road.... I've got a 10-kit backlog of airframes I need to build, just sitting in the attic.....

Only problem- my kid wants to fly, and at 3 years old there's just NO way I'm giving him the sticks yet. Maybe I'll score a spare TX off of Ebay with a trainer cord and let him play around with it once in a while at altitude so I can switch over and take command as needed. He has enough trouble holding the transmitter for ground-based RCs... and has already driven my T-Maxx full out a few times.

Oh... did I mention I'm a geek??

If you don't stop doing that, you'll go BLIND!

Actually he crawled underneath his trailer in the detritus of buggered sewer pipes. I got the PM. Not as fun as that to which you are referring.

Oi! I didn't want to read that!!

Poor Devil, bet he'd spend sometime in the shower afterward......

Squick!!

Man- hope he had the sense to wear full rubbers. That can be a haven for all sorts of biological nastiness, to say the least.

Nope, not as fun- nor as relaxing......

I'm sure he was adequately protected and since he works at a sewage treatment plant, his immune system must be up to scratch, so to speak. lol.

Moved into my new office...

Accomplished SFA today and I am ashamed of it.

Helped my boy install DSL, but couldn't stay long enough to see if it worked right. It seemed to me to be slow. His wife came home and spoiled the fun.

Went to work and log on the 4peeps......and decide what I am going to work on today!

Perhaps forgo all the repairs job and browse the net to find some information about Canada....or perhaps not......oh boy ordered another Sony CPD-200ES.

Woke up at 5AM due to phone call from HK's job - they're closed because of snow, woke again at 6AM due to phone call from school - they're closed because of snow. Came downstairs to find6" of snow and no plowing of our street, time to go to work... *sigh*

Cleared the car of about 5 inches of loverly white snow.

drove very very very carefuly to work.


Done sfa.
