The pool is almost open. Yes it is March and the water will not be ready for months, but why not. The cover was off, it is turning green, so I might as well. Most of the plumbing is now back on, all I need to do is install the light/water outlet. Will also need to purchase a butt load of pool shock.
This also lets me it is time to put the backyard camera back in the.......backyard. Not that we really need a pan,tilt,zoom camera in the laundry room/wife's office/beer vault room.
I guess for now, I am going to leave all the cameras running. I can't do much about my sad bloggin' powers. Or lack of them, but I will keep the site for a while longer. Guess to much work has went into it. Besides, will be on vacation this summer and would love to keep an eye on the house...
Now, what to blog about in the future....

Is this site still worth the problems?
I have yet to figure out why I put this site on the web. Not sure what reasons I had to do it. It started as a little security type camera site for me. I traveled and wanted to drop in on my family from time to time. That what I tell myself anyway. I am not even sure if that is what started it or not. I found sites with cameras, and thought it was cool. Is that the reason? I am not sure. All I know is that I wanted to do it. It took a year or more to get that first camera up and running. It was out the old house, looking at my little above ground pool. Had a little blog and some pictures. That site (server ?) went down. No back -ups, no saved blogs, photos, etc. Once it went back online, we moved. Once I hit this house I moved a little faster. Cameras went up, computers added, getting yelled at by the wife..... She still don't like the cameras..... Anyway, I have always wanted to add even more cameras. But I still don't know why... I am not a good looking man, I don't even look in the mirror after a shower. So why would I believe anyone else would want to look at me? The wife hates the cameras, so she is very careful when near any of them. So are people looking to see her? I don't think so. So that leaves the kids. Are sick people hitting my cameras to see them? I hope to the F.S.M they are not. I would hate to kill again.....
But as I watch the computers, people are not really hitting this site anyway. Am I shocked? Well, no. Like I said, nothing goes on here. Nothing to really see. I have three computers running eight cameras at all hours of the day. That takes a good bit of juice. My cable TV and internet runs at $168. a month. Wife hates the cams, I have very few people checking in any more, and I am getting sick of resetting cameras every morning. Why should I keep adding cameras or pounding out these sad little blogs? Hell, I can even spell!! My over use of the ,,,,,,,, even bothers me now!!!
Don't get me wrong. I still love doing this. I would have 3 or 4 more cameras up and running. Wouldn't bother me to have them in the bedroom. Wouldn't see anything in that room either, but it is cool to check on my house from work...
It is late, and as always I just come here and write to hear myself talk. I 4 years ago or so when I started this, I wrote about the 4 or 5 people that came to my site. I wrote because I knew I had those few people. Site crashed for a while, and I think I lost them. Now? I really have no idea how many people drop in. I can see a little counter on my computer that gives me an idea on the number of views, and it is never really showing anyone. Once in a while, might be a person on one computer or the other. But I am just wondering if I will keep this going.
I have read others sites. Some have had a camera or two up for more years then me, and they are dropping like flies. The person who made this site work in the first place,(and has tried to help me learn about web design) Travis doesn't have the time to keep up with his site either.
So if anyone is reading this, let me know what you think. If I get NO comments, I guess that tells me what I need to know.

Work
It is late. Thought I would post again just to talk to my self. Lots going on at work so thats what I will spew about today.
Lots of painting done, LOTS more to do. Been putting up wall paper here and there and still have a lot more of that to do also. We found about 8 pictures online and picked up the frames here in town for them. So, I really need to get the paper and paint done. I am not at work as much as I need to be, and the only time I can really get things done is after hours. Guess I better go in Friday night and paper my ass off. Place is old and looks like hell, so the little I have done looks great so far.
It is late, I guess I should force myself to go to sleep. I drop my boy off at school at 9am and pick him up at 12 on Fridays. Not much reason to even go to work. And I forgot to pick up school snacks so I will need to run to the store. Hell by the time I go to work I would need to leave anyway....

Spring....?
Man, the weather was great today. Talk about spring fever.. I hear the park was full today, but didn't get the chance to go down. I can't wait for summer. It will be nice to fill our planters up with flowers again. It looks bad out front. But then again, I still have Christmas lights up.... Not lit of coarse, but they are still up. Lazy I guess.
I picked up a new computer today, had it built by a small business owner here in town. I could have done it myself, but it will be going in at work as a server. Better that a pro build it then me. The numbers on this thing are great and only for $500. Five years ago this would have ran into the thousands of dollars.I wanted to start working on it here before I take it to work, but I am short a monitor, mouse and keyboard. I guess I could shut down one of my desk tops and use the things I need, but every time I shut down one of these three computers it is never the same. Not sure how I want to handle this yet, but I will tell you I can't run out and get a new monitor! Once I do get this machine running, I will switch out the servers and rebuild the infected machine. Will be a nice back-up. God knows I might be hurt if I set up a fourth desk top here in the house...Let alone more cameras. I am thinking about getting rid of the kitchen and dinning room cameras. No one seems to watch these camera much anyway. I can only figure it is because I spend a good amount of time in the kitchen.... Looks like people are getting sick of my pregnant looking ass! That didn't sound right, after all, I have a great ass, it is the front of me that looks pregnant....And that would be fine if I was a girl.....
Man, I am running on tonight....Sad thing is I haven't been drinking... Oh well.
It is still very early, but I am going to try to go to bed early. I always stay up far to late, so why not see what will happen with extra sleep..
And DAMN, this house is hot..............
I hate to sleep when it is hot...

Lazzy Thursday
Not a lot going on now, we did spend most of the morning on the girls room. Took the top bunk bed off and moved it to the third floor. Moved everything around the way she wanted it. She will be surprised when she gets out of school.
The boy was only in preschool for an hour when he hit his head on something. Had to go pick him up. Has a massive pop knot on his head now. It might look worse by the morning. He seems to be doing good now.
Weather is finally getting nice, cant wait for sun shine again. Will be nice to open the pool. Give the kids something to do.
Not that anyone reads this blog, but I am going to post my next beer recipe here. I will misplace the damn thing so I might as well put it in writing...
