change?/spring? is in the air, same ole same ole/and new....etc...

Is the title of this blog confusing enough? good! because i have not yet begun to confuse...First off, i keep mentioning change is in the air, well, i still feel it, but i no longer know from which direction its coming, or from which source.  I thought my job situation was about to go through a major change, as in new job,or at least job search, now, that doesnt seem to be the case now.  As shoultz used to say " I KNOW NOTHING!!!!" like the song says "the more i see the less i know" aint that the truth...oh well..so be it..such is life... and speaking of life, i still dont have one...i've resigned myself to the fact that i wont have a life until mom and dad are gone...if something happens to dad, mom can no longer live alone......and her health isnt going to get any better, so i really cant find work outside the area..and theres really no jobs in the immediate area..so again, i dont know, i just dont know, like my grandma used to say...  I had a good St Pattys day for a change, mom and dad were gone for a couple days, pattys day included to i threw a corned beef brisket in the crock pot and some carrots, taters, and a head of cabbage and ate very well that evening...i put it in early morning before i left for my radio club meeting and tendedit all day....its almost impossible to find corned beef in this area so it was a nice treat! so was all the snow we got that evening and the next day..around 8 to 10 inches! It wasnt coldenough to hard freeze thankfully so it was mostly gone the next day...and i could get my car out of the driveway to get to work monday! heh...and speaking of nice treats, i got a couple free puter towers.  One was an old win98 machine, 256 megs of ram, 40 gig hd, the only reason i took that one is for the 40 gig hd! the other tower however, is quite an older powerhouse, its got a pentium 4/3.4 gig processor, 2 gigs of ram, and the best video card ive ever seen in my life, an ati radeon with dual dvi-d outputs, hi-def baby! i bought a dvi-d to hdmi cable and it works great on my tv! can you say 42 inch hi def monitor? hehehehehe......it also has tons of fans in it, 5 total including the power supply fan, which is a 500 watt monster, 2 of the fans are led backlit, really cool electric blue! and theres led's on all 4 corners of the front of the thing, all blue, not including the hd activity and power lights! and the side of this thing is see through!! it has a plastic window in it with a lock! no key unfortunately, or i should say fortunately, it wasnt locked or i would have to do some drilling =) i also got a cordless logitech keyboad with it, no receiver unfort, but i found one on ebay, havent tried it yet tho... I'm trying to get caught up on my magazine reading, ive got mountains of mags going back a year or more! i started reading qst's last nihgt, the magazine for ham radio nuts like myself...i actually read march 2011 issue last night, thats how far behind i am! i'm trying to make room so i can finally get my old trusty amiga 1200 out of mothballs, or at least out of the closet, the tower i chose for it is short enough to sit on the left side of the desk under the shelf i put onthe wall......sao ive got alot of rearranging to do.....and i will probably put my ac in the window this year, its promising to be a miserable summer again like last year, hopefully no major fires like last year...heres to hoping!  i may or may not do a garden this year..if i do, there will be 1 ONE, and i do mean ONE! tomato plant, maybe one ONE 1, and i do mean 1! zucchini...maybe no zucchini since i still have zucchinis in the fdreezer from last year, probably have to toss em......and i dont know what else..i tried lettuce last year and it didnt do well, maybe fresh herbs? or herb? hehe, no, no herb i'm afraid! be fun to try tho! so, we'll see....havent decided yet if, or what, i will plant....I did see asparagus roots at walmart, might try it once..see what happens, supposed to grow 2 years! thatd be cool! as i said, we'll see =) lets see, what else is going on? oh ya! the store, my place of  employemnt got broken into and robbed a few sundays ago, they took alot, and dropped alot..oddly enough, so we spent the day inventorying and cleaning up..and other businesses have been hit since, and a few houses from what ive heard...so much for safe small town..lol! oh well, not much more to say, not that i can think of, i'm expecting a cordless trackball today, in our store order, a logitech, for tower i got a couple weeks ago...i forgot, i put fedora 16, the free version of redhat on that tower and it seems to work very well! i also downloaded some linux stuff to put on it, firefox, openoffice, cd/dvd burning software etc......i have a wireless router in the shed somewhere i have to dig out..then i shold have internet on it..woo hoo! we'll see.....and as the title says, spring is in the air, well, that means its pine needle raking weather! yay!!!....nleh... oh well, its gotta be done! maybe start today, maybe walk the dog, maybe both! i dont know yet!!!.......until next time....
