July 05, 2003This is the time of the year that I love but I dread it for two reasons...well really one and its associated partner-Thuderstorms and power outages.
Upstate NY really isn't known for rolling brownouts or anything like that. Tonight I'm playing EQ trying to catch up with Fran. The power blinked...usually not a big issue. I have 2 Belkin and 1 APC Power supply. Well Suz's computer had time left for me to shut it down properly. Mine-died..twice. So I come back up in the BIOS-not good.
A quick powercycle on all worked but WTF is up with the Belkin's??? They're 4 years old-I think a replacement is due. I just shelled out $1300 for my AMEX bill (mostly wedding stuff)-time to load up 1 new $300+ UPS this month and another next...(sigh).
In other news, Friday's party at my brother's house rocked...trampoline...swimming...fireworks..food..beer. All in all a good time-especially watching Suz riding on a 4 wheel ATV chasing my niece and her friend on their ATV's. Not really too sore now but waking up I was.
I'm also putting a bunch more stuff on Ebay tmrw. An old neighbor from growing up asked me to sell some pewter animal figurines (old Franklin Mint stuff) but she is such a old batty bitch this will be it. She probably won't even get what she wants and will be pissy with me but I'll take a loss if I have to.
A woman from a nearby town is driving in to drop off a box of Disney collectibles-including a Leather Bomber with Disney characters on it..going to do the little stuff first tho. Establish some trust here.
Been a good weekend overall...
