A little fixing up
Monday, 24 November 2003, 1:41 AM ET


   Today (well, Sunday) was a relatively lazy day, but that aside, I am glad to have gotten a few little things out of the way. When I woke up, I was rather sore from the previous day's baseball practice. Therefore, I was not very inclined to get out of bed. So, the first few hours of my day were spent in bed, poking around on the laptop. Finally, I decide to get up and make some lunch. After that, I figured it would be a good time to take my laptop apart for the who knows what time, and fix it once and for all (hopefully). So, I proceed to dismantle it on the livingroom table, while watching TV. This time, I am hoping it will last, because I finally got crazy glue yesterday on my way to practice. Once apart, I glued the piece together, and got a call from Sean S. He wanted me to join him in his Sunday ritual of visiting the local stores and taking advantage of their advertized specials, especially freebies. So, I agreed and drove over there to do so. Afterall, I wasn't going to do much more around the house, as sore as I was. So, we did that, and all I got was a hard drive power Y-cable which I needed (and still have a spare). That took a few hours, and after that, I went to my parents' house. My Dad's work in the kitchen is paying off well, it looks great! But it looks like Thanksgiving dinner is going to be at my house this year. Imagine that, my mother will actually be over again this year! heh.. And Dad was good enough to cook me a good dinner, since he was making a nice dinner for him and Mom also. After I got home, I decided I was going to replace some of the "single outlet" plugs in my house that I wanted to be doubles. Like the outlet for the garage door opener. Now I can plug the buglight in next to it. And the one for the microwave. Now I can utilize that power outlet for the mood lighting. And the one for the washing machine - well, I did not get to that one yet. I was unsure which circuit breaker controled it, since it is upstairs, it was hard to do the "watch for the light to go out" test. So, I will get to that another time. Besides, I do not have anything I need to plug in there right away, but it would be nice to have should I need to use the iron or something. The other outlet in the room is powering the network hub area - firewall, DSL modem, hub, and wireless AP. I was told once there there is entirely too much technology in my house. I would have to agree. But I can't help it! :)
