I'm still working on it, but it is up and running. It has been fun deciding how I wanted it to look and getting it set up. Work, yes, but fun also.
Thanks to everyone that helped, you know who you are.

2's Day

Its raining, so nice to wake up to. And cool, I like that.

Accidents Grrrrr....

I have a different car. I didn't want a different car but I stopped for a red light and the car behind me didn't. This really looks a lot like my old car. But not quite as nice and it has a few more miles on it.
Funny thing is if you get rear ended and you are hurt the insurance company is willing to pay out some big money but if you don't get hurt they don't even have to give you enough to actually replace your car. Just "book value", and believe me that won't do it.
Oh well, I really didn't get hurt, and that is the good part of all this.

Okay, Ive been away, hiding some place in the back of my mind. It's pleasant there, sometimes it's much to pleasant, and I get lost in the memories and random thoughts. But now its time to get to work on a new year. I must set some goals and find some new interest's to pursue. Or not...

Its really time to find a new tactic when looking for a job.
I need to tackle things that I don't like first.
Working on the strength in my hands and wrists would be a good thing.
This year I would like to perfect the art of making a really good flour tortilla.
I think that it is very difficult to get my family together for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and the like. therefore maybe we should try to gather at or near the change of each season and celebrate everything that has happened or is about to happen in our lives. (something to think about.)

And thats my random mutterings for this day.
