Great. My dog has torn a ligament in her leg.

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

My 2 year old Miniature Schnauzer Sydney has torn a ligament in her leg it seems. She’s been hobbling around it on it for a few weeks now and we just got her diagnosed at the vet this evening.

I’m kinda tore up. You see, this little dog is my world and has brought me joy and satisfaction that I have not experienced other than the day I met my wife.

The vet thinks we are over-reacting a little bit, and we probably are, but as both of us came from broken homes we have a natural paternal instinct to just provide the best care we possibly can to our dogs, we don’t have children, so these are the closest thing to it.

So goes life. I guess I can follow my own advice that I often give people for once:

“Life sometimes throws you curve balls, and you have to have a mitt in order to catch it. If you don’t, it has the potential to hit you in the head”

Life can just really suck sometimes.

Classic gaming on the Wii

I downloaded the original Super Mario Bros and Mega Man, man oh man what great memories!

I remember all the great fun (and time wasted!) I had as a kid with these games, damn I feel old at 33…….

*sigh*

So I bought my wife a new car…..

Boy oh boy. GM must REALLY be hurting. They were offering 0% financing for up to 72 months. My wife has talked about wanting a Saturn VUE for as long as I can remember.

I was looking through the local paper today (yes believe it or not, I DO use old tech from time to time, hard to believe me the web loving news geek that I am) and I saw this big classified for 0% financing.

Well I couldn’t resist and we went down to the dealership after work. We are now proud owners of a 2008 Saturn VUE with some good options to boot! They had to order it, the dealer said they have been selling like hotcakes and I believe it given the fact they are offering 0%, what a deal!

So I took care of my wife, I love you Christy!!!!

New webhost

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Well in my quest to save electricity at home, I have decided to move back to a commercial hosting provider. I am back with Dreamhost (again), I hope they are better this time. I have not found a comparable plan out there yet that offers the level of service they do, so they are hard to beat.

We’ll see how it works out. I’ll be moving my ham radio site over here as well and shutting my webserver down, just makes more sense to me at this point in time.

Back online!

I’m going to let the server “soak” for a few days before I move into it’s final resting location in my new house, I seriously doubt my wife will let me keep it in the living room where it is currently at :P
<strong>EDIT:</strong>After many router troubles that I *STILL* don’t have worked out (GRRRRR) the server was down for a few days. It will be up for now until I can get everything worked out.

Server going down soon….

Well no one reads my blog except me :P lol so I guess this is “redundant” in a sense. My wife and I just bought our first house and as such we will be moving soon.

I serve this site out of my home so until I can get the internet re-established I will have a static “out-of-service” page until then hehe.  Really looking forward to the move, we hope to be out of our current location by the end of April, but I will be taking the server down within the next week or two to get it packed :D

My wife, and her ability to make me smile

It’s getting close to Christmas. We both spent the day out today finishing up our Christmas shopping for the family as well as for each other.

She asked me this evening if I wanted one of my Christmas gifts early, and I figured sure why not! That’s one less I’ll have to snoop!!! lol.

She handed me a CD. It was Rush, The Spirit of Radio, a collection of their greatest hits from 1974-1987. I was ECSTATIC!!!!!

There’s a little history there. I am a huge fan of Rush. Some of you may or may not know that I have played drums on and off over the years, although it’s been many years since I have touched a drumset, I still continue to be interested in the art of drumming to this day.

Neil Peart is the drummer for Rush. He was my INSPIRATION. I absolutely worship this guy. He has a style that is second to none and easily joins the ranks of all time greatest drummers in my opinion.

All in all, sweetheart thank you so much for this CD. It really made my night and I can’t think of a better Christmas gift to receive. It was very personable and I will undoubtedly cherish it for years to come.

Merry Christmas 2007 and I thank god for having the best wife in the world, she is my best friend.

Wow cool! I can broadcast now!!!!

I must be really really lucky……

…. and god must really love me and watch out for me at the same time, which I am certainly thankful for.
I have avoided 2 bad accidents for the last 2 days because some idiot on the road doesn’t know how to drive or is in a big hurry to get nowhere. It started yesterday at lunchtime, I was coming back from Pal’s on Old Gray Station Road and this girl decides she wants to pull out right in front of me causing me to lock my brakes up and leave a nice little skidmark. Needless to say I was very pleasant towards her after that.

Then today I’m heading home to meet my wife for lunch and this jerk decides he wants to be in my lane and dang near hits me head on. I locked up the brakes again and was pretty shook up by it, and he drives by and waves. Yea. Like that made me feel better. I don’t know if he was intoxicated or if it was a simple mistake, but rest assured I made the JCPD aware of it and they can decide…..

Let’s hope I make it home in one piece for the rest of the week….. this really freaked me out!

Someone had a really bad morning

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

So, I’m on my way to work this morning, I get down to the end of my road and notice a few emergency vehicles. Figured it was a wreck, and then I got closer and saw this:

Car crash
DOH!
I don’t think anyone was hurt, as they were all standing outside of their vehicle, but it left me saying WTF!!!!????? It wasn’t even icy out!!!!!
