Good Tuesday Morning to Ya!! Jan 17 2012 this one is.

Gonna get a big ole long soaking shower first thing this morning. So if you're one of the chosen few who view my cameras here. Gonna turn two off till that project is over. :-)  Just warning you so you won't panic .

And about this camera system!! Dang Chinese AH who attempted to translate the instructions into English!! Stand him up against a wall and shoot his ass!!!

All I wanted to do was install a HDD to record movement from three cameras in case of trouble here.  The drive way to get a picture of the car,the  front walk and door for pictures of the bad guys and the one of this whole room where I am 99% of the time.

Think it was easy ? Hell no!!!  AFTER I got all the 8 video cables undone and marked AND the power and audio cables loose.. next  There is  no keyboard and the mouse is less than quality ( I can replace that)  Finally!! got the correct time and date set on it. That was first, then formatting the HDD  ( had an old one from defunct computer )  THEN trying to move from category to category.  GRRRR,,
I ain't changing it now you can bet your Ass on that!!
It does make a good recording though I got to admit.

Anyway , that's done.  Now I'm gonna get all hosed off and beard trimmed before the front moves in later.

BBL as I'm sure I'll think of something witty to amusing and dazzle you with. :-)

8AM, breakfast scramble is cooking as we speak!!  Dang, I feel lighter after that long shower and hair washing. Maybe now Tiny will even come to me :-)

While showering up I got to thinking about my water heater.  ( NO it is NOT a HOT water heater, it's a water heater, you don't need to heat HOT water silly )
Going to do some research on thankless system.  Since it's just one person here, one of them may well save me some energy cost not having to keep that big ole tank full of hot water.  I've heard that the cost are down now. Only thing is I would want to use electric model cause switching it to propane would involve plumbing,and venting that I don't want to fool with.   IF I decide to have an estimate done,I'll let you know.

Also had to edit/update my store list. Dammed Basset tried to get a bird out the bedroom window and broke the mini blind in there.. BITCH!! It's a pretty standard size and I think I got the last ones at Big Lots near here. So I'll check there first .

Enough rambling this morning.. FOOD!!! :-)

And I did have Food!! Pizza while watching The Godfather!! Hey, it's Noon plus some now.

Also been on the phone for ever , first with my bud Jim down in Austin, having him review my camera settings on the Internet ( needed another set of eyes on it) And with bud in Cut and Shot, getting him straight on how to view them. Got that figered out. So, success so far today!! :-)
Since  I'm all set on morning and since the wind is blowing hundredeleventy miles an hour,I may not even bother with the mail today.

3:30PM . I got all ambitious and decided to get the some of the new wires and cable out of the way and off the floor. Well, in the Process I answered the Question.. How to you keep an Old Fart and a Cat occupied?    Dump out the tie wraps  and get them organized.

Then you bundle  them by size and tie  them up.

 Then you have to have them Cat scanned.

And finally QC gets into the picture , "Missed One!!"
