Yesterdays post didn’t upload, and when I got to work, the post content was gone. It had a lot of pictures.
The new WordPress app has problems. I can’t get to the tags, till I exit and re enter and then edit.
Anyway, I don’t want to wake up bitching this morning. It’s FRIDAY!!
Have a good weekend!
The last world cup was the first I really got into and followed from beginning to end, and I was amazed how blatantly corrupt it was. All the veteran FIFA football fans were saying things like, “They’ll never let this team win” or “The World Cup will never be held in this particular country, they don’t contribute enough money to FIFA”.
Even the newest, most casual observer could instantly tell FIFA was more like a mafia than a sports organization.
Hang ‘Em High, I say!
We have a new alarm clock, she bangs on the aluminum gutters every morning at 6 AM
It’s quite loud!
It was a very good weekend, had fun, time didn’t go too fast. Friday I went and saw the new Mad Max movie. Saturday beach, Sunday snorkeling. . Here’s a few pics of some squid.
Have a great week!
This morning I made coffee and got in the shower. The toasty aroma greeted me warmly when I came out of the bathroom. I went to get a cup.
CURSES BATMAN! No coffee pot under the strainer basket. Coffee had overflowed and was all over the counter.
i had to go get my bath towel to clean it up.
In my own defense, our coffee maker is very complicated. You have to be a mechanical engineer to disassemble/assemble it to put the filter in. Then program it for how many cups, and how strong, if you’re using the built-in bean grinder. Then enter launch codes, authorization codes, retina scan, fingerprint scan and you’re ready.
It’s very complicated for someone who wakes up as brain-dead as me.
Hopefully I got it now, and I’m done screwing up.
Oh, and I’m glad it’s FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight I’m going to see Mad Max in 3D while the Wife goes to a jazz thingy at some restaurant with a bunch of friends. I abhor jazz. It sounds random to me.
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Live from our back porch!
All morning I’ve been thinking “What am I gonna post on my blog today?” And I haven’t come up with an answer.
Last night we bought our tickets to Canada (going in August) Pretty excited about that.
At work I can’t get anything done because my boss keeps telling me to do stuff. I’m doing what he tells me but I got more important things to do… It’s a real poser.
The Wife made this mornings coffee last night. No problems there. Auto timer.
I rekkon that’ll do it for today. Have a good-un!
This morning coffee went all over the countertop. I’m late from cleaning it up. (and sleeping an extra half hour)
Last night I had a dream a volcano went off. I was with a bunch of people and I looked up the mountain and saw black smoke coming out of the ground in two places. I yelled “LOOK!” and everybody looked and it blew up. We started running and rocks and dirt was landing all around us.
And I dreamed I was sorting coins in alphabetical order.
Have a good day
My Last post was Thursday morning, in Miami. Thursday after school, I went looking for a denim skirt size 6 for The Wife. I was keeping an eye out all week, but Thursday I looked all over and finally found one at Nordstroms for $211.
Got back to the room late, and started packing. It was after 1AM when I went to bed.
I got up Friday morning, finished packing and checked out of the hotel and went to school. I was hoping we’d get out early the last day of class, but no, we stayed late. The instructor printed the certificates. He was handing them out when the guy right before me said his name was spelled wrong. So. everyone (but me) had their certificates, and I had to wait till he re-printed one. It took him an hour to print one sheet. I’ve never seen anyone with an Apple computer do anything easily and without problems. Lately all the Apples I’ve seen have been running Windows. What’s up with that? You’d never see Windows machine running Apple. Windows doesn’t need it. And you know that I don’t even like Windows. Also my phone rang in school, and I couldn’t answer it because I was in school. They left a voice message. I never retrieve voice messages on the road, as our phone company, LIME, is the most incredible ripoffs on the planet. I don’t even know how to get messages when roaming.
So, finally we got our good byes said and I was on the road. My flight was 9:25 PM and I figured I could head to the beach for an hour and then head to the airport, stopping at a cigar store that was very close to the airport on the way.
I left the beach with plenty of time to spare, traffic was atrocious, 5:30 PM on a Friday afternoon, the worst of the rush hours.. The GPS wanted to put me on a toll road. I didn’t go on the tool road. I got lost and was at the southern end of I-95. I canceled the cigar stop and programmed the GPS for the airport. The GPS wanted me to go on the toll road. At this point I didn’t care any more, so I went. Got to the airport (I never had to pay a toll) and checked in the car. Went to the ticket counter and was informed my 9:25 was delayed till 1 AM.
Trapped at the airport, no cigars. I could have spent the whole day differently. I could have stayed at the beach until rush hour was over, gone to the cigar store and done some more shopping. It could have been a wonderful day, had I known about the flight being delayed. If I knew in advance the flight was delayed, I would have been glad.
Got home about 3AM. Went to bed. Got up Saturday morning and checked my voice mail, and the call I missed in school was Cayman Airways, telling me about the delay.
After that, it was a good weekend. Yesterday was a holiday, Discovery Day. And now I’m heading into work this morning.
Overall, it was a great trip, I think it’s the first time I ever spent time in Miami, really. Usually I’m just in transit. I spent a week in Ft Lauderdale once in the early 90’s..
Have a good week!
It’s the next to last day of school. 36 hours from now, I’ll be at the airport, waiting to go home.
Here’s a cool plant that is growing at the building where the school is.
And a thunderstorm when I was flying into Miami on Sunday.
And Travlin’ Tim, on the plane.
Hasta mañana!
