So I'm sitting waiting for my truck to be inspected. I don't expect it to go well. It's been sitting for two years pretty much. I figured if I get it all fixed up Brandt could drive it once on a while. I'm pretty sure if the tires pass, they will just barely pass. That's another $500. Anyway, I sit and i wait. Just me and my thoughts. This can't be good!
Don't know why, but I want...
So I'm getting ready to go play poker tonight. I'm looking at it like practice for next week on Vegas. Taking a couple of days vacation after I get back. I need a break. :-)
You have to watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. It's awesome. I know you've always wondered what it would be like if Neil Patrick Harris was a superhero. Now you know.
How long does it take to transmit 29KB over a 1Gb network? Roughly .0002 of a sec if my math is correct. Someone check that for me.
So last night I'm setting in the living room watching Oceans 13. It got to a quite spot in the movie and I heard this horrible noise. It sounded like one of my aluminum baking pans banging around. When I got to the living room I noticed it wasn't coming from the kitchen at all. It sounded like it was coming from the A/C unit outside my window.
Now there were only two possibilities of what could be happening. One, the A/C had decided to to munch itself and self destruct. Two, someone was out there right now stealing my A/C unit. So I ran to the office to get my flashlight. On the way to the office, somehow I managed to get toe caught in the edge of the carpet. Well this caused it to basically bend under and I managed to step on my own toe. I, at the time, ignored the loud crack of my toe.
Well I limped and hobbled my way outside with my Barny Fife flashlight. As I rounded the corner I realized that there was a third possibility as to what could be causing this noise. How about a big ass snake sticking half out of the top of my A/C unit with his head and half his body beating against the fan with a loud clank.
So this morning the termite guys are here. I needed to clean out under the sinks and stuff to allow them access to treat under there. When I was cleaning under the kitchen sink I noticed some sort of liquid under there. I thought some of my cleaners or something was leaking. No such luck. It's my disposal. I ran about ten minutes of water through everything with no leaks. When I ran the water and turned on the disposal it wasn't just leaking out, it was pouring out. What's a couple hundred more dollars, right?
So I was told about five times today that today is my last day being thirtysomething. You'd think that something like that might weird me out. Not so much I've come to find out. Maybe it'll hit me sometimes later bit I really don't have a problem turning 40. Maybe cuz I act 20 but still.
So today I learned a very valuable lesson, Termites are expensive. Very expensive to be exact. All it takes is one termite and that'll cost ya right around $1800. That's a damn expensive termite don't ya think.
So last night I was up until nearly 1am working to get their damn firewall working. Then this morning I get a call they want me to come in and babysit the a/c guys while they pit in a new unit. Who scheduled this and can I get some of what ever they are smoking. I guess I'll just take some time off next week. Maybe half the week.
Btw. This is my first post using the iPhone wordpress app. So far so good.

Got my first speed test from my fiber. 10Mb up and down. Imagine how fast I can surf porn now. Gotta love it.
Just in case you were wondering, tonight I had Salmon, Brocolli, Mashed Potatos and Grape Kool-aid for dinner. And I know you were wondering....
I've been so depressed since Lynda and my breakup. Pretty much ever night since Brandt has left I've been under the influance of something. Anyway, I know I'll live, but I'll just be glad when I'm over her. I don't want to get over her, but I know I need to. Anyway...
Here's what's scary. If google maps has this kind of resolution image what all they have picture of?
Here is my spam filter stats over the last year or so. If you do the math on the total received vs the total allowed it's pretty impressive. Out of nearly 3.9 million emails received it allowed just over 2.5% of all email through. That's over 97% of all inbound email is spam. And that's with it not cranked down as tight as it could be. I'm sure I could get over 98% out of it if needed. Yes, I'm know I'm a geek...
This is between my son and myself.
Me: "I can't believe you left and didn't eat all the cookies."
Brandt: "FACT: I was planning on eating them."
Me: "QUESTION: Who would win in a fight, Me or an Oreo"
Brandt: "FACT: An Oreo"
Now you see how I rate with my son...
So on Saturday night I had my own little cookout. I grilled chicken on the patio. Well before I grilled it I defrosted it in the microwave. Well I through away the packaging that it came in after I was finished defrosting it. While it was grilling I took out the trash so it wouldn't start to stink, which you know it will do. Well last night I noticed something smelling really bad. I couldn't tell where it was coming from. I thought it might be the trash so I took it out again, even though I knew I took it out just two nights before. Then after some serious searching I found it. Even tough I had previously cleaned out the microwave, when I defrosted the chicken somehow some, or actually quite a lot, of the chicken juice had leaked. It didn't just leak into the microwave, but it leaked down into the little thing that turns the table. I never clean down in there. Nothing ever gets in there. Well this time it did, and it was disgusting. Anyway, just wanted you to know.
