I really need to get some work done! I am tired of being behind, but my hand will only allow me to work so fast. Tonight we are going to see The Dark Knight at the IMAX tonight. That's about it.

Morning all. Had another 9am meeting today. Thankfully, it didn't last too long. I have a lot of odds and ends to be completed the rest of the week. I made a quick list late yesterday to hopefully finish today. There are several things on it, but some are pretty quick and clean. So, off I go to do them.

Work on.

Morning all.  I didn't sleep too well last night; had a terrible headache that just wouldn't go away..felt like my head was being split apart from the inside.  Once I finally did get to sleep I had some crazy dream about being some kind of a superhero with extremely long dredlocks, and the villians kept grabbing hold of me by 'em and pulling me back to fight them.  I finally escaped by cutting off all my dreds and leaving the villians in a huge flash of blue light which killed them. Good news is my headache was gone when I woke up. 

Anyway I have some last minute stuff to do today before we head up to the cabin tomorrow.  We have a shed up there that I think a black widow spider may have taken up residence in, so I have to go to the lawn/garden store to pick up some bug killer.  I'm wondering if a fogger followed by a dusting powder would work good; I'm going to have to ask them at the store for a recommendation. 

Hope everyone has a good day.

yesterday I left my debit card at the restaurant where I went for lunch. dammit. by the time I discovered it was gone, they were already closed. So as a preventative measure, I had the bank cancel the card. You just never know. I called this morning, and the restaurant does indeed have it. Even tho it is cancelled I'm still going to go get it and cut it up. I need to figure out how much cash I will need in the next week, and go to the bank and get that amount, because the new card takes upto 5-7 business days to arrive.

This is like the 3nd time that I've done this. The other 2 times involved me forgetting it in an ATM machine, before the slide reader became all the rage. Its almost like not "if" it happens, but "when" it happens.   

I hate Thursdays. They are a Friday tease.

Did you get me Darlene?  I think I remember the request coming through, but now I can't remember.

 

I'm glad its thursday. it seems like a wednesday to me, so its like a bonus to be a day closer to the weekend.

Finally back to the shop.

My 9:00am plumber showed up at 10:30.

He did help me load the hutch. They worked for about an hour and had to run to the hardware store so since it was that close to lunch decided to take lunch too. After lunch, the last thing was a leaking drain which turned into a much bigger project.

There is a house for sale just on the edge of town that is only about 5 years old and it's really cool. Its in an estate as the owner passed away about a year ago. The son of the owner called me to see if I'd be interested in buying some wood as his dad has a woodshop there too and he had a good supply of walnut, oak, etc.

I told him I might be interested and mentioned I saw the house was for sale so I asked him how much they were asking.

If I was going to spend this much money (and its a lot of money for us) on a house in this town, this would be the one I would want. Five acres on the top of a hill, 5,000 sq ft, four bedrooms, all brick, shop outbuilding, etc.

I mentioned it to my wife and she was like pfffft, yeah, right. But then started thinking about it. She agreed with me that if we were going to go that deep on a house, this is probably the best "value" we've seen around here in a long time.

5,000 sq ft!!  Wow, now that's a house!!!  And on top of a hill with 5 acres??  That sounds like a really nice place! 

You should BUY it just for fun.

Mrs. Web works in a bank, just have her write an I.O.U and tape it to the vault door. I think as long as they don't see her doing it they have to follow the rules laid down by St. Borrowm`e.

I've been lookin at flyers and stuff in the realter's boxes in my neighborhood when out for walks. I'm shocked at how low (er well, rather non-inflated maybe) the houses are. One is asking $150,000. its beautiful. I bet 3 yrs ago it would have easily have been $225,000 asking.
