I’ve been away for awhile. You probably haven’t noticed. I’ve been out of the country performing work for the government which I am not at liberty to discuss.
I find my current status as such: my house is a mess. I am installing hardwood flooring in the living room. All the furniture from the living room is now sitting elsewhere around the house. The carpet and particle board that was underneath the carpet was meticulously pulled up and taken to street. Where it was grabbed by garbage pickers the next day. Work continues on the plywood subfloor. Soon I will be ready to lay the wood. That sounds kinda naughy, I like it. I will be installing oak flooring with a butterscotch stain. It should look quite lovely. I have one more exam to pass in order to achieve my first Microsoft certification. I would expect to take that exam in the next 2 weeks. I’m starting with new projects at work. Should take me though to the end of the year and beyond. I’m am in the midst of trying to sell my car. It’s a 2001 PT Cruiser. I’m looking for something a bit more conventional. Sleek, black, probably at 4 door sedan. The Cruiser has this custom paint job, its almost a one of a kind. Not good for stake outs or remaining inconspicuous. I have it listed at autotrader.com and their magazine. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. Just a cleaning. Hopefully I’ll come away with a clean bill of health (for my teeth). My fantasy football teams are hanging in there. Not at the top of their divisions, but right there in contention for the playoffs. I went and voted today. We in uppity Lorain county got to vote with the new touch screen voting machines. You know, the machines that the losing party will claim are rigged for the other side. I found the device quite easy to use and was able to verify my votes, both on screen and on paper before casting my vote. A seasoned citizen next to me who asked a poll worker a question, was most happy with the machine as well. She remarked that it was very easy to use and she could go back and look at things in case she made a mistake. Its a hoot when new technology and old people mix. I think that’s it. I have to go file some more reports now. The fun never ends.
