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...

New toy, New Virus

Wife let me pick up a GPS today. A nice little Garmin nuvi 200. It was only $129. at white trash mart. I decided to register it online and up date the software and maps.While trying to update the maps, and I do stress trying, I noticed my McAfee kept kicking on and off. Well, the update crashed after a while and I started running a virus scan. It is still running but it has already found 12 version of a virus. This one is called JV/Eploit-Gimsh. And they are all in the Sun Java folders.
The same program that was running while trying to update the GPS. I hope to hell this goes away. The virus I have at work will not go away. I run McAfee and it will delete 12-15 parts of the virus, but can't touch one wee little bit. Then it just spreads all over again.
I will finish this scan with my fingers crossed. But my luck, I am screwed.Just as I am with my work server.
Wish me luck.

February update

Well, not much to update.
Seems like the auto focus is going on my Backyard camera (that is indoors right now).
I have a few more of these cameras so I might try to replace it soon. My IR cameras still kick out every day and I need to reboot. Getting sick of that.
Anyway, been spending some time at work on paint and wallpaper. Gotta try to make this place look somewhat OK. I sit at home on my laptop and look at numbers, bank accounts, etc. just looking for ways to make this work.
The one thing I look forward to is brewin' beer. I am so close to brewing my first batch of all grain I can taste it. Two years of extract brewing, soon I will be moving on to better beer with even better flavor. Not to mention 10 gallons at a time instead of 5!
I should be go up north soon to pick up 300 LBS. of grain and 2 LBS. of hops. Will be a nice trip away from here, a nice lunch, some good beer, and supplies to start brewing again.
Now, if I could only find a second 15.5 gallon keg............ huuuummmmmmmmmm....

More Snow

Boy the snow is flyin'. I had to get my kids out of school two hours early for no reason, but the snow we were looking for is now here. Looks great of my cameras, but hate what it does to business. Not to mention school closings.
Wife is at a meeting a little to far away. Worried about her getting home in her piece of crap Neon.
Would do anything to get her a new car, but that is a long way off.
Biggest Loser is not on tonight because of some damn Basket Ball game. Funny how I like to watch a show that I should be on.
Going to get the kids in bed soon, might play a little Zelda on the Wii. Makes me forget whats going on and takes me back to my childhood.
Nothing new going on with the website for now. Besides the two cameras that freeze up every 6 to 12 hours, everything seems to be running. Need to add some memory to all my machines.
When it warms up, both PTZ cameras will be going outside. I even have this little idea about an underwater camera for the pool. It would be something different than other websites have, but I am sure the wife would have something to say about that! LOL
Just want to do more with this site, but not sure what yet.
Feel free to send me any ideas. Or money... I could always use money. Oh, or beer! Need some viewers fom Germany, or over sea's to send me some real beer!
Man, I really need to brew some damn beer.

Snow.....

Snow, snow, everywhere. As always it causes more problems then it is worth. Looks purty and all, but the roads are a little bad. It is going to get worse with freezing rain tonight. Wife somehow managed to get to work in her piece of crap car. I would have taken her in the truck, but the kids were in bed and the babysitter couldn't make it off her hill. One employee couldn't make it in because of the snow, one employee is still out due to family health problems, my part time employee has been working far more then she wants too. It is only a matter of time before she gets fed up and quits. And one employee has given me her two weeks notice. That leaves two part time girls that are going to the BIG school here. They are the best, but need to work around schools classes.I need to hire someone really bad. But I am shocked that no matter how bad the world is, or how hard it is to find a job, that NO ONE seems to want to work. Now, I know I don't pay much, but the job isn't hard. People want to sit home and collect a check I guess. And things will be far worse in the coming years as people see they can sit home and get bigger checks and pop out more kids to get even more money...Sad damn world we live in.
Add to that the tax rates, and competition in the tri-state area, and the town I live in, business is BAD. I have made it 3 or 4 months longer then I though, but things are not getting better. I can only hope for cash to start falling from the ski at this point.
Later.
