Start of a long two weeks
I took the wife to the airport this morning. She’s on her way to Costa Rica.
A perfectly blank mind
I saw a movie years ago. It was about two girls and a guy in Greece. They were having a good time, watching The Three Stooges and laughing like crazy, then one of them left, and the two went back to watch the same movie and didn’t laugh at all. Anybody know what movie that is?
Also I read a book a long time ago, I’d like to find it again, but don’t know the author or title. It was supposed to be written by a crazy person, and there were several pages about why you should never go out with a girl with manicured fingernails. Ever heard of it?
Underwater Blog
Beach or Diving
It was a good weekend. We didn’t dive, but we went to the beach. Our weekend routine seems to bacoming that she wakes up and does her Wii Fitness while I ride my bike to the beach. Then I come back in an hour and we have breakfast and the go to the beach or diving. Sometimes she’ll take me shopping till I don’t have any more money, then we go to the beach or diving.
Above is an BIG iguana that was roadside on the way home yesterday and a Christmas Tree worm picture I took snorkeling the other day
Blog name change??
I’m thinking about changing the name of my blog to MarkD60. I picked First Time because I thought I had to create a blog just to read other blogs. Also I picked First Time because it was temporary and experimental, and after I learned what I was doing, I’d create a REAL blog, with a real name. Now it’s over four years old, and I rekkon I plan on keeping it.
It’s real easy to change, and it doesn’t make any difference either way. Might as well keep it the same, might as well change it.
DInner last night
Last night was a Guy Harvey staff appreciation dinner, my wife works for Guy Harvey, so we went. IT was at Brazilian Churrascaria Steakhouse. It was good. Then we went to Royal Palms. It was OK. The band was too mellow, but when they took a break, it was better. I don’t think the band realized it though.
What a pig
I’m sitting outside on my back porch trying to post and it’s too bright, I can barely see the screen. Also in the light of day I can see that my keyboard is dirty. Hence todays title
Today is the second day there has been a cat laying in the same place in the backyard. If I went out there to feed her, she’d run away. If I left the food there when she was gone, the chickens’d eat it.
Surprise
I thought that yesterdays post would have generated thousands of comments. Hmmm
This morning I woke up, shaved showered and got dressed and and got coffee and then saw the sun peek over the horizon. I remembered that in the winter, I’ll get half way to work before I see the sun come up.
A couple weeks ago, I fixed one of our old laptops. I took it apart and cleaned it and put it back together and it works great now. No more overheating and shutting down. Yesterday i think I fixed one at work. The power seemed intermittent, and it’d shut down without warning and was just weird. I took it apart and saw a crack in the solder joint where the power plugs in. I re-soldered it and it seems Ok too! I formatted the drive and put the original software on and when I finish it today, it should be like new!
Work is fun when I am successful, but when I am banging my head against the wall, it sucks.
The gag gift to end all gag gifts
Swimsuit that dissolves in water!
This might be the gag gift to end all gag gifts. Of course, it could get you punched in the face, but that’s a danger worth taking with this one. We present to you the most awesome “Get Naked Bikini”. This is no ordinary swimsuit.
Whereas most swimsuits are water resistant, this one is water soluble. For all you slackers who failed chemistry, that means it dissolves in water. The Get Naked Bikini looks like a normal two-piece, but it falls apart and disappears within three minutes after contact with water. D’oh!
Yes, the possibilities of this gift make the mind reel. The aptly named Revengeshopcarries the Get Naked Bikini.
