Weather Comin

Posted on by

There’s nasty weather coming for sure. I took these two pics this morning and crudely pasted them together. That’s the east on the right and the north on the left. It’s already raining as I type this. Click pic to enlarge

Tomorrow we’re having a party, so I hope it’s not raining tomorrow. Dang it! It can be nice all week and get crappy just in time for the weekend.

Below is a video you just gotta watch. It’s a commercial for an english language school. It is hilarious! It’s only 42 seconds long. WARNING! The song on the video may get stuck in your head. You are warned!

Thursday Thoughts

Posted on by
It’s Thursday. It is a perfect looking day, not a cloud in the sky. Yesterday I finished lesson 3 in my network + course and went to the beach. Today I have an appointment at 11 and may do the same again, (go to the beach, not necessarily complete a lesson).

I haven’t mentioned it here before, but I started my own company. I say I’ve started it, but I feel like I haven’t really started it yet. I think I’m waiting till I am sure I have everything in order before I start publicizing it. But I’m starting to think that I will never have everything in order, so I should just go ahead and go.

I have been doing a few jobs, but not making enough money to pay the bills. But I haven’t done anything to get business yet, no advertising or publicity, so far it’s been all just word of mouth.
I did go around to the local radio stations and passed out a brochure I made, but it was experimental and the brochure was somewhat crude. I have no clue what is good and what is not, salesmanship-wise. I can fix your equipment, I just can’t market my own company.
Today I nave a meeting about a contract. Wish me luck

A Good Idea

Posted on by
I found this pic on the web. It is actually a good idea. It conserves water, and you can start a new way to design bathrooms. Think about it, in every bathroom you’ve ever been in, the toilet is up against the wall. With this design, it doesn’t have to be, and it can me made less obvious that the sink is the toilet tank. You could be standing behind the toilet instead of in front of it

Hi, How Are You

Posted on by

Last night I went to sleep at 8:00 PM. I just couldn’t stay awake any longer. I didn’t hear the wife come to bed.

Now it’s 1:15 and I am awake, dressed and studying. I have finished 2 lessons for my Network + course. Which to me is very little. This course is different than the other courses I have taken, because the questions are essay instead of multiple choice. I have to email the answers in. So far I haven’t received the scores for the tests I’ve sent in, and wonder what is going on. I’ll have to call later today if I don’t hear from them.

I don’t really like posting posts like this. I think this is the kind of post that doesn’t draw comments. I disliked yesterdays post even more. It seemed funny when I posted it and stupid after. Sometimes I post a post and then it really bugs me afterwords. I think I have only deleted one post after it was posted, pretty recently too. Deleting a post bothered me also.

I think I have to ask a question or raise some hairs to get comments. Here, it is cold, the wind is blowing, the humidity is low. The thermometer says 79 but it is still cold. I’m wearing a jacket and long pants.

Later today, the company that installed our kitchen cabinets is coming over to have a look. They are falling down. We kept hearing noises, First we thought there was a frog or gecko on top or inside making noise. Then, after I secretly, deep down decided that I knew the house must be haunted, the wife discovered the inside shelves were slowly coming down. Then I found that one corner was loose and lowering, slowly creaking down. I shored it up with some wood. We’ll see what the cabinet people say.

Have a nice day.

Another Piece Gone

Posted on by
Another little piece of my ocean horizon is being taken away by construction. I used to love to look for hours at that particular spot on the horizon! That was my favorite spot on the horizon, featureless, far far away, yet somehow different than all the other featureless, far far away pieces on the horizon. Alas, you will be missed!

Movie: Inception

Posted on by

Last night we watched the movie ‘Inception’. It was the second time we have seen it. It is a really good movie that must be watched more than once. Very complicated. People go into the same dream, then go to sleep in the dream and all enter another dream. In the second dream they go to sleep again, and everybody enters the dream of a third person. A dream within a dream within a dream. The purpose is to get information or plant an idea.

At one point, they are in a van that is going off a bridge, and the van is in free fall. (The people in the van are really in a airplane, dreaming they are in a van. They’re asleep in the van, dreaming they are in a hotel. They are asleep in the hotel, dreaming they are in Switzerland or somewhere. Some of them even go to sleep in Switzerland and dream deeper) Because the van is in free fall, in the dream the people in the van are having, there is no gravity. during this time, a guy blows up an elevator, and it falls. Well, if there was no gravity, it wouldn’t have fallen. To me, that is the only obvious error in the movie. This movie is definitely worth watching, more than once!
