I was talking on my ham radio when i heard the news about bin laden being dead......i was kind of surprised..i figured he was long dead already...oh well......i'm sure alot of people thought that as well, and of course...Obama took credit for the whole thing...bastard......Its finally nice warm, very little wind weather! I swear, the wind and cold lasged longer this year than years past......as a funny aside..i forgot my password for this blog! lol!!! it hasnt been THAT long ince ive loggged on..sheesh!!! i'm still going strong with my shed and room and closet spring cleaning......ive thrown away multitudes of old magazines, that, for the life of me, i cant remember or figure out why ive kept them..ive emptied 4 or 5 big bins of magazines, with severl more to go....i'm also tryting to clean off and organize the benchg in my shed to use as my ham radio bench......so far so good, just need to figure out what to do with my commodore pets! i'm still trying to figure out what to do about my room and closet, ive decided to get an entertainment center that will hold all my components and the tv..so i can get rid of the huge component case, so i can make room for a cd/dvd/bluray floor to ceiling shelf...so i'll have a strait, unblocked path to the closet.....ive alaso picked out a couple towers for my amiga......and i bought an s-video cable for my c64, gonna have a retro computer power room when i'm done....probably going to rearrange my little desk so i can put 3 computers on it..hopefully, and i have the adapter to hook all puters to the tv as well! 26" computer monitor anyone?!?!?!? of course, my lcd tv isnt new enough to have a vga port on it..but oh well..so be it.....such is life....i've also decided to start combinng the massive multitudes of small bins in to larger ones...try to incorporate and compact.,.so to speak......i'll need access to my c64 and amiga software and hardweare, buried in the closet eventually =) ive also started reading Robert Jordans, wheel of time series again..its been too long..and the last book will be out late this year or early next year..so i wanted it all to be fresh in my mind when it does..unfortunately Mr. Jordan passed away before he could write the last couple books, so someone else is finishing his epic...and from what ive heard, hes done a pretty good job......if i hadnt mentioned, and i hadnt..its Friday! i have to work tomorrow, and i'm doing my monthly shopping tomorrow after work tomorrow...i had a pices of cake for breakfast today.....breakfast of champions!!! so its started out to be a prety good day so far...we'll see where it goes from there.....until next time....

Sunday strangeness...

Today was a reird day, I was feeling a little under the weather.  I got a headache about mid afternoon today, heard from a buddy of mine, that i was just about to call, I had the phone in my hand heading to his number in my contact list, when the phone rang...weird......I took a nap late this afternoon, and dreamt I worked in a football factory......ev erytime i would finish a football and pick it up..it would deflate in my hands......they alway had a pinhole in thewm somewhere..sounds like the story of my life..hehe......now, checking my facebook and twittter etc..nothing much going on..saw a good movie last night....."howl" about allen ginsberg when he wrote Howl, and the subsequent obsenity trial, which he won of course!!! the movie had quite a bit of homosexual tones and visuals..of course, Allen was homosexual......the animations that went along with his reading of howl were amazing......it was kind of a biography of Allen of a sort....i really liked it, as far as they read the entire poem throughout the movie......all in all a good movie...now, seeing as i'm still about 3 or 4 months behind...i'm going to go read some readers digests......until next time...

saturday evening......

Its Saturday evening right now, and i'm resting after a semi eventful day..it was super windy like it has been for well over a week now...I put up, finally, a new bigger better antenna a ham club friend gave me.  I hope no one else gives me a newer better antenna for awhile, I dont feel like taking that freakin pole down again..hopefully next antenna willbe atop my tower, which currently resides under the house in 4 seactions.....I even did a bit more spring cleaning in the shed today, i threw out abunch of old magazines etc, and broke down some unneeded boxes, the trash bag was so heavy i almsot couldnt lift it!! but thankfully its in the trash bin now...Tomorrow, I will be working on my mountain bike for some of the day, and may a bit more spring cleaning in the shed tomorrow..we'll see how my arm feels tomorrow.....I dont know what I did, but it feels like I massively pulled a muscle in my right arm....its been extremely sore the last week or so, and very stiff......ive had to take aspirin just to get to sleep the last few days....probably wont be able to move it at all tomorrow..oh well!!! and I'll also be finishing laundry tomorrow as well..another full day i guess...until next time...

TGIF..whatever....

Thats right, it is once again friday...big deal.....heh......I'm hoping this weekend will be nice enough weather that I can put up my newest antenna, looks like the old one only fiberglass and bigger..and dual band!!! maybe be able to hit a satellite or two!! anyway......I found out today I'm not getting as big a refund as i thought i was getting from the good old IRS...seems I miscalulated a couple lines on my return....i'll check it out when i get home......we'll see......i'm still getting a refund so i guess its not a total loss......Had a nice breakfast with my ham radio club this morning..and finally got my R.A.C.E.S badge!!!!! I'm official!!!  no real plans this weekend..except the aforementioned new intenna installing......but knowing mom, she'll come upwitha  honey-do list......just my luck.....actually......if i do get my antenna up, i may just continue with spring shed cleaning..and hook up a signal amp and power supply a ham friend gave me......so much for the honey-do list!!!!!! and of course..laundry! weekly ritual it seems!!!! and as some of you have notied..ive all of a subben become active to a degree on youtube......its pretty easy to make vids on my droid and upload them....so maybve i'll make more! until next time......
