If I saw one Dremel commercial this weekend, I saw a hundred. I get it, the Dremel is a handy tool for the craftsman, it can unscrew a stripped screw, Blah, Blah, Blah! I kind of want one but I don't really need it.
Friday Morning I rode the bus with the girl again. We may have smiled at each other, I'm not sure. She sat opposite from me, I could have said something but this old fart split the difference and blocked my view. The bus is a hard one. I'm not ashamed to say that I was a little nervous thinking what can I/could I do. Patience Bob, patience.
Later that afternoon I was looking around my site and discovered something shocking. While updating my site I accidentally deleted my diary archives. My heart sank. I called Walter and he found the problem. I cut and pasted over some important code, oops. But that was a close one. If I lost 3 years worth of solid diary gold I would be so pissed. I'd turn into that one guy in everybody's hometown that talks to himself. I only "lost" 5 days in November. I have it on a disc somewhere. Back down to defcon 4, ha ha -- War Games reference.
Friday night I picked up some Mexican food and started working on my Christmas DVD. I made a pretty good version and then I noticed that I forgot something. I didn't save it right so I had to do everything over again. I really didn't mind because I love putting stuff together. Especially stuff that involves me, ha ha.
Saturday I woke up around 9 and got back to it. I had to make a few more tweeks and save it a few more times. The editing part is done. Now I have to figure out, with the help of Walter, how to get it on to a DVD. I see some late nights in my future.
Around 5:00 I was debating on if I should do my laundry. What a debate that was, "Should I do my laundry or continue to sit on my fat ass?" I decided to do my laundry. I went to the laundry mat on the other side of town. I put a ten-dollar bill in the change machine, the red light came on, 'please wait'. It's making noise, then the 'please wait' light changes to the 'out of change' light -- without giving me back my $10! I just put my head down and sighed. I'm like a walking Ziggy cartoon! The lady was cool and gave me my money back.
After laundry I was driving by the new super market and noticed that the parking lot was pretty empty. I turned in and did some shopping. I don't think I like this new store. All of their items are in different places from the A & P. I couldn't find couscous to save my life.
Saturday night I made some dinner and flipped around the tube.
Sunday I woke up at 8:30. I was shaking out the cobwebs and got on AOL. Holy crap, we got Saddam! I couldn't believe it. Amazing! Good for us.
Then I looked out the window and there must have been three inches of snow on the ground. I said to myself, oh hell no. Because my big plan for Sunday was to drive to Best Buy to buy some raw materials for my DVD project. I said screw it, got in the Jeep and hit the roads anyway. They were a little slick but the old girl loves the slop. I picked up what I needed and then realized that this project isn't cheap. DVDs aren't at the CD stage yet, I'm talking about price.
I got back to Hoboken and then drove to the A & P to buy a steak because once I got back home, I knew I wasn't going out again.
Bob's Sunday dinner
I watched my Steelers lose and that was about all she wrote.
Have a great day.
Always,
Bob
