Tuesday Tribulations

Posted on by

Tuesday, Of course no one showed up to repair our internet. LIME, our internet provider, accomplishes nothing unless someone is stepping on their neck, forcing them to do what they are paid to do.

I listened to the radio for 45 minutes this morning, trying to hear the weather prediction. What crap. I’m spoiled rotten I guess, I expect to have news and weather and anything else I want at my fingertips whenever I want it.

I don’t even know who won the football game last night…

Above are some random photos for your viewing pleasure. Like I say, pics make the post!

Internet, like Water and Food

Posted on by

Un F- Believably, our internet went down Saturday night. Called the provider, went through the phone rigamarole, they gotta come over. Of course. Didn’t I just go through this? Don’t I have a new modem?

When the internet went down, I was checking out the Facebook buttons I added, and was working on Twitter. I was waiting for a page to load, when The Wife said, “Is the internet down?” Sho nuff, twas. I don’t know how long it woulda taken me to notice. It must have just gone down seconds before she started using her computer.

So anyway Sunday with no internet was kinda noticeable.  No internet, no NFL football. We went to the brother and sister in laws for part of the day, but still missed the internet while at home. It’s kid of a constant thing, phone, tablet, computer, TV, all hooked up to the internet.. It’s become a must-have item. The title of this post post mentions food and water, but internet access is more like air, something I need whenever I want it.

I could go on and on, but I’m posting this from work, a habit I DO NOT want to get into.

But here’s a photo from work, just outside my door in the afternoon, eerie shadows.

Have a good week!

First Real Post (on the new site)

Posted on by

This is my first real post on MarkD60.COM. I’m kind of still getting used to it.

This is a picture I took in September, the full moon setting on the sea early in the morning.

I installed WordPress in a  website folder. I use WordPress to manipulate the blog.  It’s WordPress.org instead of WordPress.com, and WordPress can’t do updates to my software, I have to do it myself. And also I could import my old blog.

So I’m gonna see how it goes.

The Perfect Pillow

My wife got us both new pillows earlier this week. Big ‘ol damn fluffy thing nearly ripped my head off. I said “dammit! I want a brick or a block of wood”. Yesterday she came home with a “yoga block” made out of cork. Perfect! First time in a long time I haven’t woke up with a sore neck, headache, or both. I use it when I’m laying on my side, not my back. When I’m laying on my back it’s a skinny pillow or no pillow. I can’t wait to go to bed tonight! Have a good weekend!

Thursday already November Already

I missed two days posting, Tuesday I went to Cayman Brac and woke up super early. Yesterday I was ironing again.

I’m trying to rig up a way I can swim/snorkel at lunch. I had a crappy old pair of fins and an old mask I found that I could leave on my scooter and no one would probably steal, but the fins broke and I got some new cheapies, but now it looks nice enough for someone to unhook from my scooters bag hook, so I’m still thinking about it….

Above are last weeks and this weeks football wins/picks. Tomorrow is Friday!
