so I am like only 9 days from flying out to CO. I have my fishing gear on the dining table, trying to figure out what to take. I finally got the travel rod, but I am not sure I can take it onboard, so… I will go to TSA web site to check. if not, well, that is OK. Jupst hope my luggage does not get lost along the way. I expect to have to pay for the damned bag, so it better get there. I have mapped out some fishing to do on Th. and then Fri on my way to meet up with chris. Not sure where we’ll camp but looking like Rifle Gap or Rifle Falls SP. Most of the national forest camps close on labor day. boo hisss.

I have utters set up to chronicle audio, trying to get it to post here, but not having success, yet. If not, I can jott here I think. so… and videos, have lots of avenues for videos. I’m going to rent two movies I think, on to laptop and watch then in camp. we’ll see. going to do everything on the cheap, cuz the money ain’t exactly flowing right now.

and with that, I am off to get some new teva sandals

and blogging using my axim, from bed. hardcore and just not tired. I just don’t seem to want to go sleep. One of those nites.

hot
humid
the other day I finally heard the cicada song. This afternoon again. yup, it’s birthday weather. hazy hot and humid. I went outside around 1, and it looked like there was a fog. but it was haze. humidity. and probably real poor air quality. I did a little in the yard, and in the garage. sweat started dripping and stung my eyes. so I retreated back to the house. been going in and out all afternoon, cuz it’s summer and I am supposed to be outside. nature girl.

but happy happy. dumbass put in new plugs and wires and car runs again. I am about to head to the store to do some grocery shopping. so, we will see.

and, well. hell, I need to do some work tonight so I don’t do any tomorrow. but i will.

my trip in September. finally starting to get me ramped up. I want to do sooooo much. I wish it was two weeks. that would be spectacular if it was. but no, can’t afford that. Maybe next year.

ok so:

heheheh

When I used to do more radio stuff, one of the DJs on the oldies station had a thing that when he knew I was listening (to go live via phone) or dropping by, he would always play my most hated song. well, one of them. Sugar Sugar by the Archies.
I got a birthday card today from my parents. One of those musical cards. and yes. you guessed right. In all it’s mp3 glory.
I think I will go play some loud grateful dead now

Just had a storm roll through. I saw it coming, those dark dark clouds, so I finished up what I was doing, and sat under the porch to watch. Got up, lightning flashed, and immediate boom. Scared the crap out of me. It was dropping those HUGE BIG raindrops. Not many, but dropping. A few more boomers, so I went inside to check on things. Then I was hearing the patter on those fucking stupid metal trim on the windows that was installed with the new siding, so I went out on the front porch. What greeted me was first the sticky notice from UPS, so I brought that back in. I looked out the back door, and hail was bouncing down. Just about the size of dimes. A few, a few more. Wind picked up, and hail was not stopping. Went to front porch, and at times the street looked like it was winter. Hail, not letting up. Thunder, lightning. hail. Ebb and flow, but the wind really started up. It had been in the mid 80’s so the hail ain’t lasting. I got a few shots of it on the porch. Then it seemed to let up as the storm passed, then I went back to the back porch. Quarters started falling. well, maybe nickels. I have not see a hailstorm like that since I was in Wyoming up on one of the passes at 10,000ft. It was awesome, and scary.

Literally 5 minutes later the sun came out.

And global warming is a fucking dream of some liberal tree-hugger? what does all this fucked weather tell you? Jerkoff neos.

a post?
nah must be my eyes playin tricks on you.

So been busy being depressed about no money and too many bills. stupid clients not paying, and a general lack of new clients. so… learning things and trying to get done what little I have on tap here. Doing alot of social media, and trying to learn at least CMSMS. Or joomla. just did an install of MAMP on the mac. worked. so I have the joomla book and I can play at making a template here and see.

keeping above the water, there are many who are worse off.

This here 10.3 is just not cutting it. I can’t use twhirl for my tweets, I can’t get the latest version of Java so I ca run woopra, and it is big and clunky. I am lusting after a nice 24″ iMac, but I do so much want a laptop. But do not want a big expensive MBP. Unless I use it as my main computer. That will take a bit for me to wrap my head around. I think that this weekend I am going to go to the Apple store in WH and take a look. The MB is probably all I need, and it is light and the cheapest. Well I cold get a mini huh? nah that is like kissing your cousin, yucky.

and where will I get the money for it? I have no idea other than the bill me later option. That will raise my monthly out lay and that is not something I can do in this economy. decisions decisons. Wait? I want to use a Mac all the time, it just feels better. uggh
