An old friend having troubles
The last month or so my trusted 2010 iMac started rebooting randomly. I couldn't tie it to anything in particular except maybe something to do with syncing with iCloud and that only a gut feeling. This is a machine that has ran 24 hours a day, seven days a week since it was first bought and only ever rebooted when an update required it. I tried ( Read more... ) -
BLFC Final
It's the day after... We arrived home around 16:00 yesterday. The drive was pretty easy considering half the people on the road should not be there. The giant red sofa (Dodge Grand Caravan) we inherited when my Mother could no longer drive is not my favorite choice in large vehicles but it can hold a lot and is very comfortable. We were unpacked ( Read more... ) -
BLFC Day Four
We woke up about the same time as growlcoon wanted to get a good breakfast and to do that you need to get there early. Down to the Grand Cafe we were seated right away. Good to see they can deviate from the menu. Back at the room I was not feeling like cruzing the con so hung out in the room while growl headed down to check out the art show and dealer's ( Read more... ) -
BLFC Day Two
I got up early growlcoon was later. Ultimately we got out of the room close to 10 but the lines of the restaurants were ridiculous. We headed back up to the room and made a breakfast out of snacks we had brought with us. We didn't get into suit until later in the day when they had the group photo and the fiesta. After an hour so I got out of suit so ( Read more... ) -
Day one at BLFC
Well I was up early as usual, editing photos from the previous day and checking out the financial news which has been pretty great investment wise this week. growlcoon was still sleeping. Around 10:00 we went to breakfast which in Reno is different from other gambling cities with the food being pretty expensive. We met rukario71, a good friend who sat with us and ( Read more... ) -
As usual it's been some time
Lots have gone on since my last post. Trip to NFC in Sweden and the best con I have attended yet. We are definitely going back next year. Mother's apartment in what was my theater and office is coming along. Expect it to be move-in ready in about three weeks ( Read more... ) -
Jobs
The other day I was with a friend and a third friend happened by. We sat and talked a bit before heading on our separate ways. Once we were alone again my friend tells me that the friend we just met works as a garbage truck driver. The first thing I thought to myself was my Grandfather telling me that he did that and he thought it was a fantastic ( Read more... ) -
The Con badge shuffle
At FC on a Sunday I was wondering around in suit within the dealers area. I've been watching one particular both as the artwork seemed to fit my character. I finally decided to pull the trigger and commission a con batch. At $60-$65 I thought it a bit steep but it seemed to be the going rate for any decent badge. growlcoon and Nilsyn we're walking around ( Read more... ) -
I'm up, are you?
Yeah, here I am again. It's 03:46 and I have been up for about an hour. The wind is howling and it is raining. More random musings as I have finished the bills, my weekly review of investments and catching up on the social sites I monitor ( Read more... ) -
Local fur event - Bowling
Well at the very last minuet last night we learn of a local fur event here in town. The Central Valley furs had arranged bowling at the McHenry bowling center. We debated and decided to attend.
It was a well organized affair with a dedicated room; registration and payment for everything at one time. I can't remember any of the names but here is a ( Read more... )
