The Money Pit

The Money Pit strikes again.  This time it was a major water leak.  Oh it wasn't always major, but they never are.  Water is a devious little thing...it drips a little and a little more until you realize you have a terrible problem and wonder how you ever got there.

What began as a minor house repair to fix a leak in the ceiling in our living room has turned into a major re-construction job and my house is now known as The Money Pit.  Take a tip from me kids.  When you see a minor leak....fix it!!!   Oh Crap on a Crutch!

RIP POC PC... Say Hello to My New Friend

All I ever wanted was a decent laptop so I could work, play, read email and write stuff.  I don't think that's asking too much.  In the past 8 or so years I have been through at least 4 maybe even 5 PCs -- I've lost count.  The PC in the below pic is fortunately still under warranty but is experiencing death rattles; hence the new silver beauty above it.  And, yes, the amount of money I've sunk into computers lately certainly has to have made a positive dent in our local economy (to the detriment of my checking account) ...oh crap on a crutch.
