Did the SSS after watching the Sports Reporters, The Reporters and Sports Center. Off now to work and shopping for grocery/personal grooming items. May go look at comp stuff at my two favorite comp stores.

Woke up at noon with a headache and an attitude. Decided I should spend the better part of the day alone with a book until one or both of those things changes.

Just got back into town. Been at Ft. Polk for the last 2 weeks. God Awful Place. Im afraid if i die and go to hell, im going there!

Turned a year older!!!

Woke up in a great attitude. Did the dishes and mowed the lawn before the rain came. Now I get to spend the day with my wife and kids, couldn't ask for more (well and that I don't work tonight).

Decided that $200 to have my resume professionally written is a good investment. After my dad's sickness in the beginning of the year and mom's treatment for cancer for the past six weeks I've realized that to be myself again I need to change employers. The fact that our current CEO is running us into the ground is just icing on the cake.

Been there!! When I was in sales it was the same deal. It was get out and get back to what I enjoy and am good at or lose more than just my mind.

Good luck!!!

Got up early (for us, 11:45am). Dropped my SO off at work, returned an omygod amount of bottles from his apartment, then ran him cigarettes and gum so he could get through his day. Came home, threw in a load of laundry, called unemployment (I get a big check in two days thank gods...I made jack working a whole 16 hours in the last two weeks), popped a ham in the oven, and cleaned the bathroom.

Later I may nap.

I am off to my first day of my EMT class. I feel so damn young...I am a college student again!!

Same as yesterday - on vacation.

My major accomplishment was flasing a Links WRT54G with the DD-WRT firmware and turning it into a client bridge.

Now we can has whur-lus innerneht in the cellar!

I made it though my first class. I think the only difficulty of this will be the lost sleep.

I'm sure you won't, but if you have any questions about that, let me know. I've been using flashed 54Gs for years. LOVE DD-wrt!!!

Went to work at a local university setting up their fieldhouse for freshman orientation. T'was also "move in day" on campus, so traffic was an extra special treat. Went immediately from there to a meeting, then home to eat for the first time at 7pm. Collapsed in my chair until my SO called, then hopped in the shower (feeling MUCH more human now) and am ready to head over to his house for a couple of days.

Went to work another boring day.

Got the title and license plate for the RT and paid for a year of State Farm insurance. Repaired a cup holder with epoxy and replaced the combo deep marine/starting battery with a brand new one. Old one didn't start this morning. Headed to stereo center in a bit to replace the old outdated am/fm/cassette with a cd unit. Perhaps I'll get remote control too. Tried to repair the vent range fan but the new motor I bought didn't work either. I guess that means the switch is bad because power going to that motor should have been there. ( The light was working). Got a haircut. Meeting at 6 p.m. uggg.

spent the morning at the neurologist and the afternoon at the VA getting fitted for a new prosthetic leg.

Invested in a resume writing service. Let's hope it pays dividends!

Finally got around to restoring my BX. It had a lsass.exe error. Pain in the freaking ass. I had to do a complete system wipe, but i was able to get my pictures off before hand so its all good!

Well....woke at 2 this afternoon to my pager looking for weather spotters and then looked out the window at one hell of a storm. Some say tornado, some say striaghtline winds. I spent the next several hours clearing roads and cutting trees. A house 2 doors down got demolished by a tree that uprooted, spun and dropped on the house. One of the cart sheds was lifted and thrown over the other one. The gasoline tank was knocked down and we got to clean that up. 28 trees down on one side of the lake, several more on the other. The golf course is a mess of limbs, trees and leaves. Our house is plastered with twigs and leaves. Thankfully, no damage to our house. Even more thankfully, nobody was injured.

When they say you will hear what sounds like a freight train...wow!! Temp dropped 10-15 degrees and damn what a wind.

We went and stayed with my mom and I called home a bit ago and we have power again!!!

Checking out a pile snail-mail/e-mail upon return from trip-a little at a time.

Went and saw Superbad. F***ing outstanding!!!!!!! NOT FOR KIDS Then went to walmart with a buddy and he bought the ps3.

WOOT post 1400!

Spent the day picking up branches and limbs from the storm.

Did store shopping-food, and spent some time working with friends-finding stuff in my garage so they could work!

watching me little 4 year old cousin then heading out run....

Had to reset the fiber optic system box and TV, after automatic ugrade from company. Hmmm, many options on two operating systems!

trying out me new DSP 550's...

love this headset

500 miles on the KLR without a hitch. Breakin period? What's that? She got dirty within 100 miles of getting back on the road, and had seen the rev limiter far before that.

Emailed the sign shop my friend's wife runs for the 5th time in a month-- I need a reflective rim stripe kit for this bike. I believe they're getting deluged with requests.. might just better take a trip out to Norcross GA and show up on her doorstep with $20 and make her print them out right then and there.

Did some pre-work before work some what better going in with some aspects of job organized. Long day today should return later tonight-just in time for a cold one!

Had to dodge the guy who came to re-attach the tiles in my SO's shower today FINALLY after four months of putting notice in to the office that they'd fallen off. Unfortunately, he chose to show up 45 minutes before we both had to be at work. Luckily, we both took showers last night so it wasn't a huge deal, but still...I hate going to work without a shower. At least he got into the tub to do it so we could use the sink to get ready.

Worked for two hours. Stopped by his work to say hi, now I'm home making dinner. Which I will run to him later.

Just this second came to the realization that we're still co-dependent.

Woot got the jeep repainted! Now time to get it dirty!!!!

Woke to an empty house...ahhhh the sound of quiet.

Came home from work-discovered an empty and quite house too ... went to sleep, and it was great!

We lost the first softball game 16-1. Got called after 5 innings so we didn't get further embarrassed. BOy do we need a lot of practice. Later today I hit the batting cage. Too bad I had asthma as a child and never got to play Little league. I think it hurt me . Oh well , maybe tonight we will do a little better. However we were winning 1-0 after the top half of the first inning. Then it went south.

Doing some pre-work before work again-nice to have a printer that can scan, print, and e-mail! Hope you all have a great labor day week-end! Myself, putting second coat of wood preservative on red wood deck, and should be dry on Sunday-move chairs and tables back, put food and cold ones out there, and then just kick back time with friends-yes!

Just the final prep for camping!! 5 days of drinking and fireworks! See everyone Monday

Got discharged from PT.

Congratulation bull-nice move!

our annual, airsoft tournament and was I holding up a POW and a insurgent came from behind me and but I retaliated by doing a cool move, by throwing my gun under my arm and pulling out my sidearm to keep the POW under control, and shot the insurgent in the chin just behind where his mask ended...I'm talking muzzle to skin close. He don't like me right now....needless to say I kept that prisoner till the game was over. Go me...

Thanks. I feel they did a good job getting me to a point where I can deal with the pain and keep it to a dull roar. I can live with that.

Took the kids to the Hog Days carnival for a short bit. They get to bring friends with them on Monday.

Always fun?

Went to store, and bought series 4 of Foyle's war! Helped a friend repair an oar-fun, but then went in and finished all paper work for next week-just have to read the stuff now. Going to cool it tonight-a few cold ones and Foyle's War.

Way to go Snuffy. Keep up the good work, bud.

Doing laundry, fed cat, make bed. Probably wash the truck and maybe even work today even though it is the Labour Day long weekend. Going to have steak and eggs for breakfast. Broil the steak and fry/steam the eggs. Hot diggity dog.

I should receive my professionally written resume tomorrow.

And I already have a few leads where to submit it!

played in Photoshop
my handy work...

found out a good friend had a get off while doing a 100CCC

( a 100 CCC is a ride on one bike by one rider, done within 100 hours, Coast-to-Coast-to-coaast. Sanctioned by the IIBA "International Iron Butt Asssociation", a long-distance motorcycling group).

She was on her outward leg, from Jacksonville FL to San Diego CA. Making amazing time- something like 18 hours from JAX to Tuscon AZ when she had her accident.

Don't know what happened-- she experienced a blackout, likely due to a helmet strike- but she ended up with a broken right clavicle and a burst T11 spinal injury. She is in a great deal of pain, but otherwise ok. They're not going to operate but will instead be putting her in a turtleshell brace and monitoring the injury so it heals well. Apparently it is not as bad as it could have been, thank the gods.

She was doing this ride to raise money for the Make-A-Wish foundation. The group she was riding with had previously set a record of $5000 for fundraising. She's so far doubled that- $10,000 and high change. Donations are still coming in.

First thing she said when she talked to her man- -"I'm done with motorcycling." Well, we hope not, because she has such a passion for it- but it's understandable if so, as she's wadded up two bikes in two months. But this is a lady that was runing about 70,000 miles/year, and did a solo run from the SC upstate to Alaska last year. She really is QUITE an amazing lady, and all who meet her know this.

Personally-- went for my first dirt ride on the KLR today, with two friends with KLRs. Actually, more of a mud ride. TONS of fun, lots of water crossings, and I dropped the bike 5 times. Owing to the bars I put on it (damn near a full rollcage- Paris-Dakar rally sorta stuff) all I did was laugh and go again.

Spent the day at my Mom's house. Did a bday party for my nephew and basically hung out.

Back went South and I went North .... did ice today-seems to work-Ouch!

Slept in since we didn't participate in the parade this year (our trailer got stolen two weeks ago and no one had time to do anything about it). Went to the park and worked the Union Label booth during the picnic, then got roped into going onstage to draw the raffle winners' names (we gave away 3 Carhart coats and a pair of Carhart jeans). Came home, cleaned the house, took out the trash, ran through the shower, and am now killing time until I'm supposed to pick the boy up. We're going on a date! Our second one ever! Not bad for just shy of a year of being together.

Took the kids and their friends to the carnival. Hot and crowded!!!
