Booked

July 15th, 2009

So I took the plunge and joined Facebook.com. I typically steer away from social networking sites like this. Heck, I never even thought of opening a MySpace account. It just feels dirty and wrong, the way people can just look you up and see all the wrong things you do with your life. I’ve even read articles about how people have been denied employment, or even fired over content on these types of sites. With that in mind I did it anyway. Making sure to become friends with people I work with to ensure a hasty firing. So far the experience has been good. I have a very modest friends list that I really don’t care if it grows. On my list are people that I haven’t talked to in many years. Most of them are people that I do miss having in my life. But others, well it’s nice to see that people did maintain their course in life and became successful at what they wanted to do.

I think our A/C unit is craping out. I believe it’s the motor that pulls the air thru the coils in the condencer/compressor unit. What ever the thing is that sits outside the house. The other night I was sitting in front of the computer when I hear this metalic scretch come from out side. At first I thought it was next door. The house is up for rent so I thought it was coming from there. You know, krack head that steal alluminum to sell for more krack. But it kept going so I lifted my lazy ass from my chair and investigated the noise. Sure enough, it was from the A/C unit. It would slow down and then speed up. Only when it slowed down did it make a noise.  So after taking the lid off and checking the extreamly rusty motor that sits atop of everything I deduced that this is what was making the noise. Figuring the bearings were jaming and thus screaming in bearing pain. I ordered a new motor. But now that I have the new motor the noise and problem has gone away. So now I have a motor, and i’m waiting for our A/C units motor to crap out.  Oh, the joys of being a home owner.

Weathering the storm

Today is my fourth wedding anniversary. The Wife and I were married in the formal gardens on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. It was a freaking hot day that day. If my memory serves me correct it was pushing one hundred degrees. I was in a suit (not a tux – her choice) she’s in her dress and everyone was sweating there asses off. Man, was it hot that day. I looked like I came from a shower my hair was so wet from sweating. She, I’m sure had a beautiful make-up job on and hair that Paul Mitchell would be envious of. But it was all for not the moment she stepped out of her mothers car and walked down that path with her father.

If I had mind powers

As the temperature rises outside. So does my level of laziness. Cutting the grass is such a chore to me. I love doing it in the spring with the weather is cooler and there’s a nice breeze. But when the outside temp gets to be around 88 or higher I totally wimp out and want to sit on my ass. I have even tried to motivate my self by “rewarding” my self both before and after. You know, smoke it before you mow it. Now that don’t even work out. What’s a boy to do?

I just had a call about rubber feet on one of the accessories of the product i support. Apparently it has two that came off. Now these feet are stuck on with super adhesive. They don’t fall off. It’s not a question of when. They just don’t fall off. But, since the customer is always right I had to offer him a replacement. A replacement because of rubber feet. Rubber feet that his customer no doubt peeled off to take apart the unit and found they don’t stick back quite as nice.

It’s shit like this that everyone should be thankful that i don’t have mind powers. ‘Cause if i did. I would have so blew up this guys head with my thoughts. And since i have mind powers now. I guess I could mow the grass from the comfort of my bed.

Will the seeds grow in my belly?

Who new my postie plugin was broken? Not me. Not untill I went to post a picture I took while I was putting FROTE down for bed. But never fail, the older version still works. I’ll keep an eye out for an update.

Travis discovered watermelon. You can’t really see it in the picture below. But his shirt is soaked with watermelon juice.

The Boys

The kids we’re crazy today. They went to bed crying, woke up crying and they came home crying. Talk about a grrr moment. Thankfully, The Boy, has a local friend that comes over and puts enough distraction in the house that everyone calms down. He’s a nice kid. Not a brat to us anyway. So its cool with me. The Wife was a little off while he was here. But i think she was more agitated because his slightly older sister came with him. She’s a little nosey and The Wife does not like this.
