bummer

So the house on El Paso has some minor/could be major issues. Roof repairs in 5 to 10 years, floor joist repairs in 5 to 15 years, safety issues with the neighbors trees... It's a 1919 house. Will put it on the back burner. I really like it but...
The house on Spencer is more reasonable, all the pipes are inside the house. The back roof is flat and needs to be tarred and graveled, the closet floor is mushy and the deck is mushy in places.
Going to see about making an offer on couple... We'll see how it goes...
Film at 11, in maybe a week or so...

Changes

So the piano moved away to a new home on the 7th. Looks great in their living room and I am handling it by considering it as permanent storage. If I miss it, I know where it is and it is in a better environment than my garage. It is also being played almost daily, so it should be happy.
This particular musical instrument will most likely be haunted for them, har har, as it has been in my family since 1913. I think they will enjoy it tho.

Next on the list is a house. I have 3 I will be looking at for the 2nd time this weekend, hopefully, and will make an offer on one of them, maybe. I would really like the one on E. Fountain place, but they want too much, it has a huge yard, front and back, and what do I need with 3 bedrooms... The one on El Paso makes more sense, it has no yard, has a shed, and no garage. But then a garage is a luxury in Manitou and I don't want to pay an extra $30,000 just so I can have one. So, we'll see what the fam has to say about all 3, then I'll pick one... or not... OOOOOOoooooooo Scary move.....

It's July

So, I'm house hunting. There's some interesting floor plans in Manitou...
Been hiking alot
Been bored at work
It's raining
Need to move my piano out, and the radio, and whatever else I can manage...
Time to finish up the photos and move them out...

today was a good day - i think

So, I grew some nads today... as the kid says.
That's a good thing.
Now if I can just get this gum off my shoe...

A little NPD are we?

So where does the anger and "get the hell away from me!!!" come from?
Failed rescue attempts? I think so.
My own NPD quirks; my way for my acolades...
Ummmm, wow do not like that being there...

Good and Bad

So, Friday I got 5 medals. Moved up in one category from Beginner to Novice, but have no idea which one... too excited about getting medals to write it down :))
Will get the Feis results in a week or so and find out. (oh, and no residuals from the magnesium fairy LOL)

This week has been the pits. Tuesday morning my Vaxes all go haywire and stop talking to each other and decide to hose up and crash ( these are machines that were installed back in 1985ish, (that's what, 25 years or so?)are still humming along nicely and are about as big as a standard sized refrigerator). These machines run so well and are never down, that when they hose up, we all sit around for about 20 minutes and try to remember how to trouble shoot them and where to look for problems. LOL. My disk farm and a bunch of windows servers (we have about 140 of them) start upchucking too. The users are screaming and it's all pandamonium...

So I go ask the network guys what gives on with VLAN1 (the subnet that all these machines are on) and they say, oh nothing. So, it takes about an hour to convince them that their gear is hosed. Sure enough, after about 3 hours of stewing and spewing, they decide to turn one router (that was not doing anything but spewing) off and reboot some other ones. Everything comes back up just peachy and working fine. All but one VAX which has a blown network card. So, parts have to be flown in from the warehouse, overnighted from Caliprunia... the land of the fruits and nuts. Wednesday, everything gets repaired a day late and a dollar short.
And Thursday, funny, but most the network slowness has disappeared and my disk farm is talking better than it has in quite some time... ummmmmmmm maybe they should reboot the cisco switches once in awhile.

ya think !!!

Nahhhh I ain't a computer geek, just sound like one. Actually I think we should all go back to finger dialing phones with wires to the wall, paper and pencil, talking face to face... stuff like 'dat!!

Geeeeeeeeeeez, glad it's friday...

Funny Story

Want to hear a funny story...

So, I have a competition this evening. Today is Friday.

Last friday, saturday and monday, we had dance practice. So my legs are killing me by tuesday, bad bad shin splints. So, I'm thinking I used to take cal/mag tablets for my muscles and they worked pretty good. I was out and had not taken any since maybe Thanksgiving. So I stop at the store and the Calcium Citrate blend only had 80 mg of magnesium so I get a straight 500mg magnesium suppliment to go with the Calcium Citrate blend.

I get home and not even thinking... I down FOUR mag tablets and 1 cal/mag. So that is 2080 mg of magnesium.

The next morning, I have cramps and diareha so bad I can hardly walk, and it lasts until... you got it... last night. Today I feel okay --- THANK GOD, AS HELLLLLLLLLLO I HAVE A COMPETITION TONIGHT !!!!.

Now, how DUMBBBBBB was that. The bloating was the worst, I didn't even fit in my pants it was so bad...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you have to laugh, it was soooooooooo stupid...

So, all week I been wondering why I was sabotaging myself... I knew too much magnesium gives one the back door trots and cramps... Just stage fright I'm thinking...
