Eeeeek a mouse - 23′F

My wife thought she had a mouse around her desk a few days ago. Then on Wednesday morning, she saw the mouse on the fireplace. I got out of bed and tried to knock the mouse down for Snowball to chase, which I did, and which he did until the kids scared the cat, at [...]

Not much - 50′F -

Not much happening. Only 2 more days then I am done with the stress and headaches of my current job position, YEA!!!! I will be in town on Wednesday. Was a nice day outside today, but supposed to really change in the next 24 hours. Winter is still here. “M” can now tie her shoes, [...]

Checkin’ in - 47.1′F

Just checking in. Not a whole lot happening, C’s science bowl team didn’t fare so well, but they gave it a good shot. According to him, he answered most of the questions. Sounds like his date turned out well for Snow Ball. My main concern was that his car is working good now. Let’s hope [...]

Breakfast at Perkins - 24.8′F / wc 15.3′F

We are up and ready to go to Perkins for breakfast then across the street to Meineke to hopefully pickup C’s car. It was not quite done last night, but they said it should be done first thing this morning, so I figure by 10am it should be done. And since we have to go [...]

Kid Car Problems, Again! - 26.2′F

C’s car’s alternator was bad, so installed new alternator and new serpentine belt, and charged up the battery. Tried starting it, and cranked it over a few times and then heard a grinding noise that did not sound good at all. Crawled underneath and looked at the starter and the dang nose cone on the [...]

Brrrrr - -2.2′F

It is cold! Right now it is -2.2′F outside my window. It is supposed to be down to -10′F tonight, with a windchill down to -30′F. That is just too darned cold.
“C” skirted by with a 1.50 GPA for the semester. He needs to get his head in gear. Enough said on that point, [...]

Death by Chocolate

I think I have all of my stuff located to the new site at www.dmcia.com. For some reason, the old site at www.mepotelco.net/web/mepoinc/index.html is down. As soon as it ever gets up and I can access it, it will automatically redirect everyone to this new site. I have this site until May of 2009, at [...]

Got my bid

I got my bid for Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. Not sure when I will move, but I am glad. The days off, kinda suck, but the stress will be a lot less, not to mention a lot less management hassle. Turning off a lot colder. I was watching Channel 8 news tonight and they said [...]

Good Night

Went to C’s Eagle Scout District Dinner. It was okay, but it was long, and sitting on those hard metal chairs made my butt hurt. I want to thank mom and dad for watching the girls and keeping one. I found a neat site called wishbook web that has a lot of old catalog pictures [...]

Quick Note

Just a quick note. The videos from now on will be 320 x 240 instead of the larger 640 x 480. By using the smaller video the file sizes are a lot smaller. You can still view it at the 640 x 480 size by simply right clicking on the video in Windows Media Player [...]
