  • Hump Day

    We made it halfway through the week. Work is beginning to pick up and it looks like it will be that way through the rest of the 2nd quarter. This is primarily because other companies are dropping support for the ATS, but any news is good news.

  • Funeral for a Friend

    A guy I worked with at PDS passed away about a week ago. I can’t say I knew Olin Oliver well, he worked in the financial department and he got in super early as did I so we talked occasionally in those early morning hours. We didn’t see eye to eye politically and I had…

  • Cold Spell

    Haven’t posted in a bit, I’ll work on that. But I’ve been keeping busy. There’s a cold spell in these parts, we’ll be freezing in the overnights until Monday. Right now it’s wanting to rain and then freeze tonight, so not fun. Winter in Texas is painful for the simple fact we just don’t have…

  • Whoo Hoo

    Yes, it’s been a week since I posted but what a week. The new server is up and running I’m happy to say. There’s part of me that’s lamenting that I just didn’t get a new server, they have Amazon reconditioned that are like $1200 with a kick-ass processer and dual power supply and not…

  • Love me some Friday

    I’m happy today, things went well at work, I got the new fiberglass extending antenna pole and managed to get it mounted, much less sway than with the PVC it replaced. And it added another 6 feet or so. No new channels though but I’m hoping it will stabilize some of the wavy channels. Also…

  • Xterra Inspected/Registered

    The Xterra is due for inspection/registration by the end of the month so I headed up to the corner inspection station, it’s always hit or miss there, sometimes you just drive right in but they always seem to have a bunch of cars there like there’s a wait so I’m never quite sure. It costs…

  • Casual Sunday

    It wasn’t a bad Sunday at all. Had the test for a course at 11:30 this morning, gave me time to cram a bit before the test. I was sure I failed, I passed. To celebrate we went to Olive Garden, they were kind of busy for 3:30 in the afternoon but there wasn’t a…

  • The Melt Begins

    It crept above the freezing mark today. It was Friday but I didn’t feel like doing anything, I need to get hours in for last month and I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I can’t seem to get anything done. Hopefully, this too shall pass. Sandy had a fun day seeing what Cali…

  • Ick, Snow

    Not too much of it but any seems a bit too much. But at least they know to shut everything down instead of making the idiots get on the road. So it’s been a nice isolation period. We were worried about Cali but last night I peeked out to make sure the heating pad was…

  • It’s Getting Cold Out

    Well we were in shorts for Christmas but nature would appear to be back with a bit of a complaint, not really a vengeance. We’re getting a lot of rain but it’s now beginning to freeze and we’ll be under 32 for a couple of days and as low as 15 so they’re saying. We…
