No post today

Therefore, there will be no post today.
Please tune in tomorrow, same time, same webpage!

Time Flies

I don’t know where the week went. Monday I left my computer at work, so I couldn’t post Tuesday, but that’s the only thing I remember.
I replaced our kitchen faucet yesterday. On the old one, half of it came loose, a bolt rusted out. I got a new one with plastic bolts. None of the ones I looked at had metal bolts, except the same one we had, which I found in a store.
Tomorrow is my works Christmas Party, Saturday is The Wifes work Christmas party.

The phone company here sucks. They intermittently send a bill. In six months, I’ve received two bills. It’s a real hassle, because I have to go track them down, call them, find out how much my bill is. And I’ve complained before and have it documented.

Tuesday I received a rare phone bill. Tuesday I paid it. Tuesday I started getting automated calls about my bill being overdue. They suck. We need another phone company.

OK Weekend

It was an Ok Weekend. I ended up not having to work Saturday. Took some holiday pictures.

Thee Chosen Pic (I think)

Bad Little Elf

The Moon this morning.

Did a little concrete work Sunday.
Haven’t been diving in a long time.

Orange Juice

I bought a half gallon of Tropicana 100% Pure Orange Juice. It tastes like candy! It tastes completely artificial. It certainly doesn’t taste like an orange.
I think it’s nasty! It’s all sickly sweet. The manufacturer must load it up with sugar.
I am going to start my own taste test contest and see which I like best.
What kind do you think is best? I think I like the cheap stuff that is in the canned goods aisle. 100 % unsweetened orange juice in a can, no name brand. At least what is in the can is what it says on the label.

Sleepy

It seemed yesterday I was cruising along just fine, all day and into the evening. Then around 8 PM, I was slammed with a sudden exhaustification that I had to go to bed. I went to bed around 8:30 and woke up about midnight. Then back to bed about 2:30 and the alarm was brutal this morning.

Last night The Wife and I had dinner at a diner called Timbuctuu. It was good and not too expensive. We’ve been looking for a restaurant we could go to several times a week and be regulars, one that wouldn’t break the bank, so to speak. It’s a new place that opened up last week.
Maybe the food made me tired!

Repeat! New Phone

I need a new phone. My Treo is biting the dust. I dropped it yesterday, and the memory card won’t stay in.
I almost bought a BlackBerry Javelin, but they were out of stock, and coming home and looking at the features, it sucks. It has nothing.
Palm, with it’s 10 plus year old technology, is still light years ahead of anything else I can find. I am so mad at Palm Inc’s marketing people for letting them fall behind practically killing the company.

They have a superior product and they didn’t sell it, now they are gone as far as I am concerned, there is one new phone, the Palm Pre, but it has Web OS, which isn’t compatible with the Palm OS software, which is what I have.

All I can see that I think I’d like is the iPhone, but they nickle and dime you to death, I’ve heard. Not to mention super expensive, over $1000 for the newest one, unlocked.

SO, what phone do you have, do you like it?
