Sunday is it? 1/15/02? And I guess you're waiting for the comics huh?

Ok!! Keep your skivvies on! I'm typing as fast as I can.
For some reason I feel rushed today.  Shouldn't though, got a good nights sleep ( even if I did forget to turn the  heater down to night time temp)

Basset thought I had over slept and came into  the room in her attempt to wake me. She has one door frame she scratches on and yea, it' pretty much ruined , but why change it now? She'll just tear up the new one.

Anywho I'm up. Coffee cup in front of me,  although the coffee could be warmer ( I swear I got to replace that maker!! reads 150 °F . )  And yes! I'm going out for the paper and breakfast here in a minute,  Got to get all that out of the way because a real certified Geek from the Geek Squad is supposed to be here this morning  some time to do the router hook up and program it  and all that assorted BS so I can make my cameras available on line. I've got all the paper work laying here. Cameras are all hooked up and running. New Wireless router just waiting on him.


( BTW, the new Rat Shack  battery for the portable phone charged up over night, so it's all back up and working. )

OFF now for my paper and breakfast,  talk amongst yourselves

Paper glanced at  and was reading about the cruise ship sinking and of course on TV   you’ve heard over and over about the luxury liner Costa Concordia Cruise Ship that sunk. And all the stories of how the passengers had not been through an evacuation drill or instructions.  When we took our cruise on the Pacific Princess north in the Pacific from Bora Bora to Hawaii, it was a much smaller ship of course. The first full day we were on board and all the passengers loaded but still tied at dock. There was a full blown ALL HANDS evacuation drill. Complete with emergency lighting, blocked passage ways and crew members directing us to where we were supposed to go.   Once everyone on board was mustered ( with life jackets on)  and accounted for ( 30 minutes maybe)   The all clear was sounded and we were free to go about out business.  At the time we found it both bothersome and somewhat needless. But on reflection later we realized we knew exactly where to go in case of emergency. The only emergency I experienced on the cruise was my favorite small bar ran out of Jack Daniels:-)

Noon plus one makes it 1PM huh? 

Gotta find me some lunch. Geek just left  after getting everything set up to make the cameras remote viewable. Hell, glad I didn't try it cause HE had to call HIS upper level tech.. But they're  working . Now I'll send a couple of emails to chosen people and have them test it on their end.  So if you don't get an email about it,you know it weren't you I that I ask to be testing them. :-) 
See at ya later.. :-)

7PM  OMG!~!! I made the best pizza I've had in ages!!  Took my regular ole Tombstone deluxe and added my stuff, colored bell peppers, Italian sausage , onions olives etc etc  and then those left over shrimp I had!! SON!!!  Knock  your socks off!!
Think I'll prop my feet up and try to stay awake through a movie.
