April Showers

Well it has been some time since my last entry...I could say that I've been way to damn busy, but that would be pure BS! I've not been any more or less busy then usual. Just got a touch of the springtime sick of the whole PC internet, making photos, doing web sites doldurm. In any event I was sipping a cup of coffee and going through some photos I'd taken a month ago up north at the cabin. Had to throw in this one of Einstein...no he's not sleeping sitting up, but just don't like the camera flash in his eyes!

Spring has arrived at last, long last and not a moment to frigging soon I might add! So I pulled the 9mm from my mouth and cleaned off the spittle and set to doing springtime activities...Last weekend went to the cabin and open her up for the 2009 season. Everything wintered fairly well no busted pipes and the water hot and cold is once again flowing. Pretty much just as it was left some hundred years ago or at least since last November!

Got a new vehicle traded in the 2000 Jimmy on a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. I like it got just a little more elbow room than the Jimmy so don't have that Sardine feeling quite as bad. It's got the On-star thing which I don't have. I did get a 3 month 'free' trail to the XM raido however. I hate to admit it but I am liking that, there's a ton of music, talk, comedy what the hell ever your in the mood for at the time to listen to it's out there and commercial free. After the free trial it runs about $13/month. of course your best deal is buying 3 years and then it works out to 9 months free.

Will just have to wait and see when the time comes. If I spent more time in the car driving back and forth to work I'd do it in a heart beat. But I have the tedious minute-and-half drive to work each day?? So the only "real" use would be driving back-n-forth up to the cabin.

Let's see what else is new...I'm not, not smoking any more! Well I'm not smoking like I was but a few cigs here and there and I'm a "cabin smoker" smoked a couple of packs over the weekend up north last weekend. Had to go back to the doc yesterday for an infection and got some 'cillin' ace bandages for the swelling in my legs, a couple of blood tests, chest x-ray, next week is a sonagram thing on my heart, and go to the sleep clinic. Well Zippity-fucking-do-dah! Ain't life just grand, just shove a hose up my ass and I'll be ready to party! I guess as long as I've got the insurance might as well get everything checked out. I have been walking every night after supper Kathy and I have been taking Einstien and Boomer with for a walk each night, paying a little closer attention to eating and what not. Blood Sugar levels are much better and more under control for the past few weeks in any case, and I'm not smoking 3 packs a cigs a day so it's all got to be good!

Well that's about the just of it since I last jotted down a note here a few weeks ago, today is suppose to be fairly nice again, chance of rain tomorrow and Monday but we are in great need of some rain. According to the weather we're 2.5 under normal and things are very dry right now. Burning bans for most counties until we get some rain and things start 'greening' up a bit. In any case I've got to get started on my list of Saturday spring projects to accomplish and they won't get done sitting here...

Here's the new chevy...
