Did a camping weekend. Caledonia state park. Really nice park. beautiful scenery and the best facilities I've seen in the group tenting areas in a long time. then saturday night we went to the races. Dirt racing at Lincoln Speedway. It was the first night of speed week, so the 410 sprint cars were the main attraction. The best racing (I thought) came from the thundercars though. fiercely competitive in their feature race, they came out of the 4th turn on the first lap 4 across. FOUR FUCKING ACROSS. It ended with a spectacular race for first in the last few laps though. The car in second actually pushed the first place car down the back straight on 2 laps, but could never find the route around him in the corners.
One of the port o potties had the greatest warning label inside it I have ever seen. Un fortunately I couldn't get into one that had it with my camera.
"DO NOT DROP WHILE UNLOADING. MUST BE PLACED ON LEVEL SURFACE." Wow. the first one scares me. I can't think of anyone that would think dropping one of these is a good idea. let alone while you're standing inside it to read that warning label. The second worries me too. I just have to wonder about the guy that want to sit one of these over yonder on that bank.
I changed motherboards last week, so now I don't have any picture editing software on my computer at all. I'll install it and post pictures tomorrow.
Yeah, the pictures didn't happen, sue me. I said try.
I was talking with reid earlier, and the discussion was basically about how users fuck up their machines. the reason we started talking about it was because he's putting Tiny Firewall on someone's machine. Tiny is probably the best firewall you can get. I run it on all my machines, and don't bother with anti-virus software. Tiny is so possessive that nothing can be installed without tiny knowing about it, and asking you if it's okay for the program to do it. Anyway it seems that the real problem with most computers anymore is that someone installed kazza on it. which led to this quote
Kazza is like AIDS for your computer. Once it's on, there's no stopping the shit ware from getting on your computer.
...assuming I can find my camera...
oh shit. I have to manually resize all these fucking things.....screw this. check back on monday. I have to be up at 7 for a meeting with a high level administrator at the high school about a teaching job.
Another 2 weeks another post. Still nothing as far as jobs go. looking at some options at air products, maybe I sohuld just take the drywalling job to have something to do, and money to do it.
Gas was $1.889 at Blakeslee corner (PA 940 and PA 115) this weekend going up to camp minsi. there weren't any extra slots for the conclave there, so I was just crashing the party this weekend. The food sucked total ass. I only ate one meal there, then went out to perkins for something worth eating.
Stayed at the lake cabin. I think I need a job just to be able to go up there more often. it really is a nice place, wish i could have spent more time up there. I do need to get a new truck too. although coming home from blakeslee to here I got about 20 MPG. That's high for me on highway driving. but the seat's totally shot, so anything longer than 2 hours is really uncomfortable.
The scout troop finally got it's new computer. 600MHz P3 348 ram, 40gig hdd....I think not. there's no need for that much memory or hard drive for what they do. plus it was a seagate cuda 4. it's now 192 ram and 20 gigs. one stick was a pc100 128 meg stick with 16 chips. meaning it will work in my P2 mobo. >snatch< The downside to windows 2000 is that you can't switch motherboards without totally reinstalling everything.
Not too much else at the moment. nothing exciting ever really happens to me. I'll try to get pictures up before the end of the week.
