ppc 6700

So i think i decided on the phone/PDA i'm going to get. Not sure how great it will really work as a phone without using a bluetooth headset, but i'm still excited about it. Yes i realize most people wouldn't think this is worth it and don't get it, but remember I'm a comp sci guy. It has tons of features and if half of them work i'll be happy with it. Well i suppose there are some that i kinda need to work, but there are a lot that would just be fun.

Ok feel free to leave the comments saying i'm a loser!

Cell phones

I'm about out of contract with my cell phone so i've been looking around for the best options for me. If anyone has suggestions or knows someone in the business feel free to let me know. Other then that, not too much excitement lately. Last night I took a nap in the evening and woke up about 12 hours later for work. Not very productive, but i guess i needed it to catch up after the guard weekend and the pager weekend before that. I was pretty tired cuz apparently my bro asked me somethings a few times and i definitely don't remember anything like that.

Don't forget to turn your clocks back this weekend.

Guitar

I finally got around to picking up my guitar again. Since i haven't played in a while my fingers are too a little sore, but they'll toughen up if i keep playin. I hope that i'll actually get to where i can play a few songs this time. I still have a few house projects, but with the colder weather i'm sure i'll be more apt to stay in and play once in a while.

Tomorrow is a big day. I have guard where i'll have the physical for my Officer position. I might also have a fitness test afterwards. Then after guard i am going to a friends wedding in Lancaster. That should be lots of fun! It's weird i'll have to change too many times. Camo for the morning, maybe PT gear for the fitness test then a suit for the evening.

I plan on taking the eclipse to guard this weekend as there are people there that probably don't believe i even own it anymore.

Garage roof

I finally finished the garage roof tonight. Just in time for the rain tomorrow. One of the guys from work offered to help tonight and we just managed to get it all done with a few snags as is to be expected. That of course made it take until just after it got dark, but it is all done now. Good work to be doing while i'm on call since i could have made it to the house pretty easily. Fortunately so far it's been ok. I had some things going on while i was at work though.

Guess i'll be using the furnace by the end of the week with the weather coming up. Hopefully oil prices will stay low. I just ordered it and it was actually cheaper now than the time i filled up at the end of last year!

New Computer...again

Well it's a new motherboard, CPU and DVD-RW (dual mode, dual layer capable). All three of those things only totaled about $115. After all the hassle i've been through i am glad to have this now. I suppose i may still have some issues, but hopefully the random lockup won't happen anymore. Wow it's a friday night and i'm sitting here writing about the computer i just put together. I'm a loser...

NHRA drags

Well i made it to the drag races on Saturday. I ended up going by myself since my boss couldn't make the rescheduled date, and i didn't have much time to find someone to give his ticket to. It was still fun though I got to see a car run a 4.40 second 328MPH pass. They are really fast and loud, it shakes the stands! I also got to tour the trailer and look at the LRS car up close since they are the ones that gave the tickets away. I didn't even have to talk about work stuff since the salesman wasn't there, he wouldn't have known me anyway though. Unfortunately the LRS car kinda blew up at the end of it's race. The driver was ok and the time was good enough to qualify though. They'll have it put back together and running today i suppose for the race even. Pretty impressive stuff. 8000hp makes my dyno chart seem insignificant, but the eclipse sure doesn't feel that way on the street.
