I finally found something that needs improvement on my treo. Evidently the phone has been off for most of today and I did not notice until I saw my email was out of sync so I forced a sync with exchange at work. It said the phone was off. There turned out to be 14 text messages, 5 voicemails, and 27 new mail messages.
On the other hand that sort of silent calm was really awesome.
My car isn't on fire. It's not shooting sparks. It is (mostly) working great after I poured just south of a grand into it.
No additional house wiring has decided to try to do the double homicide/suicide thing.
We did a lot this weekend. But it wasn't work. It was a lot of chilling out, and hanging out.
We have a christmas tree, and the beginnings of christmas lights outdoors. Didn't buy enough of them. Oops.
Since we're buying new, all christmas lights we've been buying are LED based. Since everything else in our house is CCFL or LED except for strategically placed incandescents* we don't have to feel like we're wasting tons of electricity doing it. And it's less likely to start a fire. Hooray?
Becky has decided to make pre-prepared delicious breakfasts rather than cereal this week. loaded scrambled eggs and sausage is the breakfast menu this week!
Anyway that's the poop on things.
* I have dimmers in some areas – CCFL plus dimmer usually equals something other than "properly functioning" (and I haven't messed with the dimmable ones yet.
Protected:
Nothing has caused an electrical fire in my house in the last 11 hours, and the cost of repairing my car is still less than $1,000 (for this repair, anyway. The full repair which I have to do before it gets hot out will crank up the price quite a bit).
And none of my homies got killed in south central LA.
So I'd say it was a good day?
West Michigan
I am officially in west michigan. I saw a few bespoke monster trucks already.
Something is wrong with my car. I suspect it has something to do with the smoking hole in my serpetine belt. Hurray!
+1 for my family who is coming from Grand Haven to get me from Grand Rapids, and AAA who is sending a tow truck.
ignignokt has redundant drives yay raid!
