Soon it will be the weekend and thank god, we have a new application we have to use on our current contract and people are freaking the fuck out for some unknown reason. It is just a bunch of tabs for Christ sakes and it is a hundred times easier to use than any of the others we have had to use in the past.

Soon it will be Halloween and I will have to work so no big deal to me but I guess as you get older some of the mystic has rubbed of most of the holidays anyway. Except Christmas I think that one I enjoy.

I think we may have a winner in our house hunt expedition but time will tell if I just winged him or did I really bring him down. Seriously it is a nice old home with a Victorian build or décor to it or whatever the hell the real terminology is, and to think the whole time I was just calling these types of house OLD gasp the humanity! Anyway I have to go I just got home from work and I mind is a bit muddled so I got to head to work talk to you all later have a good one everybody!

Take some time out of your busy day to remember the poor unfortunate balloon spiders that are being discriminated against even as we speak, and if you want to voice you opinion on the plight of these beloved creatures leave a comment at:

Super Steve

Thank you this has been a public service announcement.

I read this on the CNN web site this morning and I thought it was amusing………
An Oregon man discovered earlier this month that his year-old Toshiba Corporation flat-screen TV was emitting an international distress signal picked up by a satellite, leading a search and rescue operation to his apartment in Corvallis, Oregon, 70 miles south of Portland.
The signal from Chris van Rossmann's TV was routed by satellite to the Air Force Rescue Center at Langley Air Base in Virginia.
On October 2, the 20 year-old college student was visited at his apartment in the small university town by a contingent of local police, civil air patrol and search and rescue personnel.
"They'd never seen signal come that strong from a home appliance," said van Rossmann. "They were quite surprised. I think we all were."
Authorities had expected to find a boat or small plane with a malfunctioning transponder, the usual culprit in such incidents, emitting the 121.5 MHz frequency of the distress signal used internationally.
Van Rossmann said he was told to keep his TV off to avoid paying a $10,000 fine for "willingly broadcasting a false distress signal."Toshiba contacted Rossmann and offered to provide him with a replacement set for free, he said.

I cannot believe they voted against Sunday shopping in this province! Then again I cannot believe they had to vote on it in general. I do believe Nova Scotia is the only place where you cannot go to the mall on a Sunday. Talk about behind the times, I think the people who live here do not want to be dragged kicking and screaming into modern times I guess. Even in Newfoundland you can shop on Sundays and we did not have to vote on it.

Anyway I am reading another book called KOKO by Peter Straub anybody out there read that one before? I am reaching the halfway point and I enjoy it so far. Hope it is not a let down when I reach the end because there is nothing worse that investing your time reading a book that has a shitty ending. Anyway got to go talk to you all later have a good one.

I woke up this morning and low and behold both the internet and the cable TV was not working! What a bummer! Since then it has been coming on and off in sporadic bursts that are annoying to the tenth degree. So long story short I found my self bored and I tried to find something constructive to do but I to no avail I guess TV has robbed me of my imagination when it comes to amusing myself. Plus I have read every book in my home at least once so I did not bother down that avenue. So what did I do fired up some steel panthers!



Nothing like a war game to get the blood pumping in the morning and to get the brain kicked started! I am playing a mega campaign that came with my game I play as the German army in combat against Russia



. If you like strategy games then this is a good one to give a try. Anyway got to go and get ready to head to work talk to you all later.

Well this is going to be a quick note because I am in a hurry to get back to my book. Trifle bit geeky I know but I can’t put it down I am hooked for sure like a junkie I guess. The last couple of books in the gunslinger series have been good but this one is driving me nuts because Roland is almost at the dark tower and I am curious to see what happens.

Other than that everything is good, work is okay I guess slow as hell and makes for a boring shift but that will change soon enough. We are house hunting and what people are trying to pawn off on you for a home is appalling to say the least. I should be back on the weekend with something more interesting until then have a good one everybody, I got to get back to reading. Hile gunslinger!
