Whatcha doin thread....

Post by **spot** » Mon Jan 17, 2011 8:33 am

I rather virtuously dismantled the elder daughter's desktop PC this morning (a bare-metal Shuttle I built her from second-hand parts at least seven years back), removed the dust, replaced both the fans and all four rubber feet and the thermal compound and put it on a soak test. It's had two new components over the years, the PSU which burned out and a new DVD-RW. Other than that it's survived two house moves and getting married with no problem. And it's now, by the look of it, no longer overheating.

It's wonderful to see you:-6

Never heard of Woodstock bourbon...is it good or does it give you a mega headache?:wah:

Have you read Jean Auel's books about the Earth children? Jean's extensive research has only confirmed, for me, the fact that our Earth has always gone through mega, climatic changes.

Check out her site if you haven't read her books. Sadly, her last book will be coming out this March.

Jean M. Auel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I read your posts on another thread and decided to read theses books to see if I liked them. I'm on The 3rd "The Mammoth Hunters" and do enjoy them. They do have a bit of caveman porn in them don't they? :sneaky:

It is a day off and the weather is truly beautiful in San Diego with summer like temperatures so I'm heading out for a long walk.

Enjoy the walk in the sun! We're waiting for snow and ice.

Im touching my private parts. No not really. Im contemplating if my role in humanity has any real meaning. So far its not looking very good. All the same its fairly important to me.

Decide first if humanity has any meaning, then worry about if you're part of it.

I'm rather content to watch it from a distance like a game of tic tac toe played by monkeys who are likely to get violent.

No school today, so will chip ice away from #2 son's car. Daughter left for work and I didn't hear her, and she fell down the stairs on the ice.

Trying to get through 600 pages of The Mysteries of Udolpho, tediously descriptive.

Spooky though. Atmospheric. A bit of a girlie book.

Oh, that sounds so interesting!

I just was chipping away ice from the porch, it is slowly melting. I will return to the bedroom later to look for the last missing bird, but the room is almost spotless from moving all furniture and cleaning while I'm there. (thank goodness for snow days)

Still piano lessons to give tomorrow and PT for the husband afterwards. That is getting to be very hard-it was tricky gettiing him down the stairs last week on the ice, he fell 3X and I had to catch him and pull him back up to standing position.

Ahhhh Chonsi...I wish I could cyber over and help you. I hope he's feeling better. Remember what I told you. I'd love for you and hub to spend some time at the beach. Just let me know!

That's great Spot! My tech fella did that for me. But, alas, he told me that I must not eat cookies over the laptop while sitting in bed:-1 So, no more cookies, and I have an E-Pad to use.

We're finally melting down here and another storm will fill us with snow again. But, I'd love to have a day off to do some projects, even though we'll have to make it up in June.

Hope it doesn't hit you too hard!

11:30 I'm sitting here waiting on my beloved's return from a girlie's night in in another's girlie's house.

I'll be home at 9pm she says as she waves bye bye happily walking down the garden path.

She'll be at that Gin bottle again, fag hanging out the corner of her mouth, skirt hitched up over her knee, one foot on the coffee table in an effort to steady herself as all the girlie's stretch out on the carpet or chairs or couches telling each other filthy jokes and swigging from their bottles of whatever.

Oooo, I wish I was there :wah:

I feel like that right now. I've been on the phone for the last 2 hours with 2 of my good friends that live in Florida and New York...Haven't spoken to them in ages. We had a great auld chat, we did...gossiped about everyone, cried a lot about how we miss each other, drank some wine, had a wee, sweet cigarello and promised to spend time at my beach house this summer....Life is good:-6

Yesterday, it was 17F (-8C) with high winds.....yuk

Today it is going to be 66F (19C)

Guess where I'm going? To the beach....yea:wah:

Plan to sit there, enjoy the sun, and read the newspaper while smelling the salt air. Then I plan to take a long, long walk and go to my fav Irish pub later on to meet up with friends.

First I need to finish my pot of coffee and lovely breakfast, except for the pudding:wah:

Hi Raven,

Glad you like the thread idea. I love to know what peeps are up to in their daily life. I had planned to spend the day at the beach reading my newspaper as the temp as supposed to be 66F. But alas, it rained and rained.....

~~~sigh~~~ There's always tomorrow!

So glad you've accomplished your goals and hope you have a job very soon. Best wishes to you:-6

The weather is awful today. It's 24F (-4C) with gusty winds of 60 MPR. Jeez, just went for a food order and couldn't open my trunk to get the food out. I have to move it to a less windier place.

My dopey neighbors don't batten down the hatches...never do....

and their grill toppled over, dragging the gas tank along. Their garbage is all over the place. Then they shove it against my new fence. I will go out and move it soon.
