Dead Weekend Thread

Well, I do have things to do this weekend, but I'll contribute, anyway. (sorry if I broke the etiquette of the thread )

Drinking beer now.

Football game and beer tomorrow.

Visit with the in-laws and check out the progress of the house on Sunday.

Too bad Flamethrower isn't here. I just ate 1/3 of a pound of medium cheddar.
And washed it down with a beer. Surprisingly it tastes good.

Somehow I always end up here sometime on the weekends and hardly ever post anything. This weekend however I am going to fulfill the important task of actually finishing Final Fantasy. I just caught up to the point where I quit playing years ago. Sometime in there I will also watch the latest episode of Naruto. Yeah, come the end of football sunday I'll feel like I've accomplished a lot this weekend.

*gasp*

Dr. Hooter expects us to believe that a set of hooters wouldn't cheer him up? Sounds like some kind of malpractice to me.

I had a lady that thought she was really giving me something special, with giving me all her old software since she got a new computer, I ended up throwing it all in the trash, sometimes its hard for people to part with something they paid so much for in the beginning, but today its useless. I kinda felt bad throwing the software in the trash, but she also gave me an old monitor and scanner, that I can give to someone that really needs it, because they're usable. Its a shame all this stuff isn't upgradeable, sometimes I wonder just how much software is in this world, cause you'd be surprised what people start pulling out to give away, when they realize you'll take it, even if it is, for you to make the throw away decision.

It's mean.
But she should have fire insurance.
A good fire can substantially reduce a pile of garbage.

LOL about the software. I have given alot of it away.
Hell I even gave away brand new copy of Win2k still sealed in a shrink wrapped box.
I don't know how many copies of WinME and Works I have given away. Lots of games and utility software too.
The last thing I gave away was a 2.53GHz P4, a CD burner, 350W Antec power supply, floppy drive, and someother stuff I can't remember to a co-worker. I figured the guy would pay for some of it. But I got hosed for it.
Right now I have a printer with parrallel cable and a USB scanner that I will probably toss.
Maybe I should give it to the cheap co-worker!
I've also tossed alot of software books too.

Construction---ironworker--- wresler with my grandkids, alas they usually win though. Been at it quit awhile

The man of steel said that

My dads like that, he's a genuine Pack Rat, won't give anything away, won't let you use anything he owns, keeps everything in his garage like a shrine or something, can't use the garage cause he can't get in the thing. He's probably going to be the first person in history besides the Pharoahs, thats going to need about 8 gravesites to bury all his junk with him, I can picture the hearse pulling the largest Uhaul trailer they've got now.


Now don't take me wrong, I love my Dad, but he is one of a kind, and he is definitely a Pack Rat

Knew some of them , ones connected to computors, but not the other ones or links. You have been helpful, thank you.Went to dinner come back and everythings as dead as a doorknob, CPU,O.C.,memory ect.Reminds me of my sex life--ha ha.Got 2 units at home, his and hers(both mine she just dont know it). Playin with them while temps cool so i can crank them up and play with them,had the P4C 2.6 up to 3.2 with memory in sync and low temps.Thought that was pretty good for me anyway.

Anybody that even dabbles in computers has been hosed a few times. People are so wired about computers for one thing. My attitude is you get back what you give out, sometimes more than repaid. It doesn't always seem like it, but it does happen by & by.

As an example, last week I installed a LinkSys 802. 11g wireless network with a base, a child pc & a child laptop. It took me not long messing with it & I had it completed. This guy is on of them that has to have the very latest or he's not happy. I've built all of his machines both home & office. So anyway I'm getting ready to leave & he says I've got an old routher that if your interested in it, you can have it to sell or whatever. So he goes & gets it. It's a Linksys BEFW11S4 ver 2 wireless access point router with 4 port switches. It's still in the wrapper with the Best Buy tag on it. It's a "b" is all. To old, my foot. Looked at newegg & there going for $59 right now.

Now that offset what happened when I did a favor for my neighbor late month. Her son owns a bowling alley. Her machine was so old that when they loaded the new version of accounting software (I forget exactly what it was now) it locked her down completely. She couldn't even pay the employees until she got a machine. So I over nighted parts & had a brand new machine for her in 36 hours & cheaper than she'd ever gotten them for. Well on the invoice I had another machines parts listed that came as well. So in my haste I added things up wrong for her & shorted myself about $100 on the parts. I didn't figure it out until after I delivered the other machine & realized that I didn't have enough part money to pay the full bill. Well, I didn't charge her anything to build the machine. So when I took it over they tipped me $35 & said have dinner on us. I wasn't going to say a word about it, because it was my dumb mistake. Then my neighbor stopped me & said they loved the machine & was that enough money they had given me. I laughed & said no, that I had really shorted myself on it, being as how they asked. He got real defensive about it. I said well add up the bill I gave you & you'll see. Trouble with that is they don't know what I put in there. So this week he stops me again & says we added up that bill & it adds up exactly what you added it to. So I said fine. I'm not going to open up the dam case & go over it with a pointer or something to prove they're wrong & owe me money. The way things have turned out, he thinks I'm trying to stick him up or something anyway. Forget that I got them a computer to meet there payroll.

Yep, it just goes to show me what my Dad always said is true. "What you make on the apples, you loose on the grapes". Only, I'm optimistic & I say "What you loose on the grapes, you make back on the apples".

Getting back to the original thread, my looser weekend is progressing along right on track. My Daughter in law came down with some kind of meningitis & was admitted to the hospital for at least 48 hours on Fri. My son & granddaughter have came for the duration of his wife's stay in the hospital. My other son & grandson are here most of the time anyway, he's divorced & raising his son on his own.

So I decide to cook a big dinner with everyone here & do a super pot roast with potatoes, gravy & the whole bit. That way there's food for whenever anybody is hungry, plus I love roast beef anyway. Well when I get to cooking, which is everyday (I've always done all the cooking here), I drink a few beers. Today I drank quite a few a stuffed myself like a fat rat. Thus ending up here posting, in the middle of the night with heartburn that's about to kill me, not to mention the 3 bathroom trips to unload some of what I did to myself earlier today.

Things aren't looking much brighter for tomorrow either. I put up a 10 gallon crock of sauerkraut that's been fermenting in the basement for 10 weeks tomorrow. Well we're having fresh homemade kraut tomorrow for dinner. Now there's something that will clean you out & in a hurry. Yep, tomorrow evening the whole family will be farting up a storm around here for sure. Just like the Nutty Professor 2. Well, its at least a bright spot to look for this weekend anyway.

Hope your weekend has picked up for ya!
