I was riding home to meet the window guy so he could measure all the windows. I crossed the Cayuga intersection and then a door was open in front of me. I think I tried to swerve some, but I hit it and went down. I think I hit my left side first and then […]

After the long-hours work week cleaning for the weekend started. Then came the wedding and spending the weekend with Nicole’s family. When they all left errands were run followed by mental collapse. Late Sunday night as I was re-visiting my mail box I saw again that this is the time for Liana and Peter and […]

Back when I worked at Agile, a co-worker went to Germany for vacation and brought a pen for everyone in the office. They were cheap pens that said Beer on them and have some logo. At first it just sat on my desk but one day I needed a pen and it was closest so […]

Work intensified this week and promises to get worse next week. Our CEO wants a demo of our software running on his phone so he can play with it a few days. We aren’t running on any phones yet! Dan got it building for Palm this morning around 1:30AM though. Yay! So last night after […]

…or somebody like him. I woke up at 3 this morning so I could go to work so I could come home at 7:30 to feed the dogs and wait for the plumber to arrive between 8:30 and 9. It’s almost 8:30 and I’m ready. Waiting, waiting, waiting… Hopefully the plumber will be able to […]

The RV’s gray water tank is full. This is the tank that showers and sinks go to, nothing to icky. I think it filled up quickly from the shower problem and then a lot of testing of the shower. And some washing of dishes too. I’m going to drain it into the front tree area […]

Drove it over the hill, got there and they said: “We didn’t expect you until 4PM.” “Huh,” I say? “The guy said come over any time.” “He told us 4PM.” “Well he didn’t tell that to me.” They said we migh thave to wait an hour before they looked at it since they weren’t scheduled […]

Yesterday in trying to get ready for Julie’s graduation Nicole was goign to use the RV shower. This is the first time using the shower in the RV so we didn’t really know what to expect. The hot water heater was on for the 30 minutes it needed to warm up. Nicole got in, turned […]
