Another Taste of Winter…
Middle of March and tomorrow it’s going to be a high of 38 and a low of 28, that’s not what we’re used to seeing in the middle of March. Sandy is taking off for the Springs tomorrow, I’m not sure that’s going to work because as crumby as it will be here it’ll be…

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…

Sunday Project
I got a new antenna post and put it up, it’s 16’9″ long and light as all get out. But with the extra height, it crumpled the supports I had mounted for the use of the PVC mast. They don’t sell anything locally so I had to go on Amazon and get them, it’s a…

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…

Eye Appoinment Aquired
I made an appointment to get my eyes checked, my eyes are actually getting better but the problem with that is my prescription is changing and it’s hard to keep up with. So now I’m wearing my contacts but I can see the monitor screens without having reading glasses on which makes it impossible to…

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…
