It only took 4 1/2 hours......

That's right, I set a new world's record for cutting our lawn. The mower only vapor locked twice and I came up with a solution to that problem-I just spray it with a garden hose until it cools off. Probably looks a little stupid to the neighbors, but it works.

I wasn't planning on it taking quite so long for yardwork and as a result, I missed a rail trail ice cream ride with some friends. Kinda bummed by that, but I lost track of time and didn't realize how late it was.

Our daughter had a relaxing weekend at home, I was surprised that she didn't go out with friends at all, she just hung out with us and chilled out. It was really nice to have her around. Seems like she has met her soulmate at college, Nick sounds like a super nice guy and they both want to be friends for awhile before they seriously "date".

Whatever, I think she has met the guy she will marry someday. She talked about him the whole way home from school on Friday.......I can just tell he's the guy. I talked about my wife the same way when I met her...........

My buddy Doug worked on some more web site templates, I gotta say he's really good at turning my ideas into concepts........I wanted something simple to read and easy to look at and he has really come up with the goods. So far I think we are going with "Mcnally Home Computer Specialists" for a name, I have to thank my wife for that one- it's simple and conveys what I will be doing.

Now all I have to do is come up with a tagline and a URL for the website.....

Spent some time fooling around with my old computer trying to install some type of Linux on it, no joy so far. Looks like I will need to install some more memory in it-the 64 megs of RAM in there now isn't enough for Ubuntu or Knoppix. I did score a really nice 17 inch monitor at the Salvation Army store on Saturday- it cost me a staggering...........3 dollars.

Too bad this wouldn't work with my job. I work by myself, so if something doesn't get done.....my boss knows who to blame. Actually, he's pretty happy with me, most shops our size- there are two people doing what I do by myself.

What to eat on your communion wafer.

I like tuna and Spaghetti-O's mixed together, never had a tuna milkshake. A few of the recipes don't sound half-bad.

Food porn.

This soldier has a point of view I happen to agree with.

Till later.
