Oh what the hey…it’s only money…

Monday, November 24th, 2008

What are we that we always strive? Why is it that we dream? Why do we try…even when we know we could fail?
One week left…lots to do.
More later.
CUAgain,

My friends just felt a chill…

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Around 3pm this yesterday, I’d expect that my friends…ya know…the ones that owe me favors or just seem to always be there to help…all looked up at the same time, shivered, and said something along the lines of, “I’ve felt a great disturbance in the force…”
See, I’ve a project in mind…and I expect I’ll need [...]

Lessons

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

So, I helped friends get their electric heat system wired up to full power yesterday.
They had a new ac/heat system put in last year and there wasn’t enough power (cable size/breaker) for the electric heat. The installer just flipped off the switch for half the heating elements so there was enough power to run the [...]

Anybody need some certified hepas?

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

So, more air-conditioner work.
Ya’ll might recall late last year we had a bunch of air-condtioner work done. “A bunch” as in, “They ripped the entire mess out and installed everything from new.” I was happy, as the old system had basically announced that it needed to be torn out when it tried to burn [...]

Economics…

Monday, October 13th, 2008

So, money’s tight…at least, that’s what the media and the prospective presidential candidates are striving to convince us of.
Many folks, including us, are tightening our belts a bit and doing our best to cut down. The news is downright scary. The stock market is down a bunch. Folks…GOOD folks, are getting laid off. 401 K’s [...]

My wife…the gadget freak.

Monday, October 6th, 2008

It dawned on me today that my wife is a gadget freak. It shouldn’t have surprised me, after all, I’m one myself. I love gadgets.
For Christmas last year, my Dad gave me a little electronic thermometer…it has a battery operated indoor display and a little battery operated remote sensor that mounts outside and transmits the [...]

Good news…Bad news.

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Interesting dealings are afoot…muhahahahaha! Yeah, that’s the good news. I’ll tell you about it later.
The bad news…I’ve got friends from the coast with homes that are damaged or destroyed. Some are minor…trees down and some lost shingles, some are more serious…missing roof and destroyed interior…some…well, some are just plain missing. One text message from [...]

Going back…

Friday, September 5th, 2008

About Saturday’s post…Yep, we’re going back to take another look.

Not sure why we torture ourselves so…
After all, if we weren’t looking, and didn’t find anything we liked in an (barely) achievable price range…then we wouldn’t be agonizing over decisions.
Hopefully, looking at it again will clinch things…one way or another.
I shouldn’t sweat the risk…after all, life [...]

Reach. Grasp. Fall?

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Must my reach always exceed my grasp? Must my dreams always push me beyond my current capabilities? Finiancial, equipment, time, market, employment…always, something is just not quite there.
Yeah, a dream is available. Yep, I could probably swing it for the purchase. It’s a small, friendlier town…off the mains…the perfect place to carry out my writing [...]
