Fun Fun -- Chris @ 11:43pm
I gotta wake up early tomorrow (to help), return the "hog" that was used for the fence and some other stuff that we used to speed the process up. Good lord, I am not doing that again, I am not going to work without eating anything first. I am going to mess myself up real well doing that day after day.
1. Wake up
2. Computer for a few minutes to check stuff (email atc.)
3. Get dressed
4. Out the door with the 80 pound hog
5. Get home
6. Eat something, anything
7. Back to work
Like I said, "Fun Fun". Doesn't it sound fun? I am thankfull for the "hog" (A really big drill, BTW) or I would still be out there dead beat digging all 30+ posts holes by hand. Some of the specs of the 80 pound, hand bustin', back twisting hog:
Horse Power: 5.5
Weight: 80+ pounds (with bit)
Engine Size: 163 cubic centimeters
Weight of each bit: 15 pounds
Size of each bit: 2 and a half to 3 feet high and 6 inches in diameter
Power: Can spin two 150+ pound people with ease
As you can see, that is no toy. You not ready for the thing to hit a rock and spin you, it will throw you - and I am not kidding either. It does not seem to like roots as well, they wil also cause the bit to stop and the top to still move. Again, that is not something good.
Man, I have got to spend sometime doing halfway "real" news around here sometimes.
Shadda Up -- Chris @ 11:11pm
Enough is enough already with this crap. Yes, we know that it is not something good when someone just goes missing for no reason and cannot be found. It is a sad thing for her parents.
However, keep this in mind; in the U.S. during one year there are thousands of people that go missing for days, weeks, months, and sometimes they are found - dead. There is only one reason why this one is to the top of the list, since she was in Washington, and was an Intern (we all remember what happened with Clinton) but still, this is something that we all should be too shocked of. So think about this, about two or more people per day in the United States of America go missing every day of the year.
Keep in mind that someone that you may have seen this very day could go missing the very next day, as so this happens in many cases in the U.S.
I do wish that they would find Mrs. Levy, for it is not something good when someone is not seen for about 80 days (I think that is how long) and nothing else is heard from that person.
Still, I have heard too much of it, and too much of anything cannot be a good thing. Folks, time to take that remote, press the power button, and walk away from the TV for a little break now.
People These Days -- Chris @ 6:35pm
Some people these days just simply do not use their brains anymore.
Ok, the whole fence thing is still going up, I know that. But at a break my brother decides to burn a CD with some "new" music that he just got so he could check it out in his car. So with two ten inch subs you have got to turn it up to get the full effect. He pops the hatch as well. Got 'em really going, and I barely hear the lady down the street yelling "Turn that down please!"
If it was not for me, my brother would have not known that she said that, for the reason that it was loud. Seriously, that is a "Duh" right there. I mean, if you hear it down the block and you say what she said, we would not hear it.
At least she said "please" and not "Shut that darn thing off!" Credit is given there. And I would not be shocked if one of my neighbors tries to get an edge on me by reading this every day, so I may as well get some of the mad, but what the heck! It can be a whole "fude" type thing...
On to the fence, that thing is a pain in the butt. Even with the "hog" today, it still took a lot of effort to get all of the holes made. And even some of the holes are not deep enough since damn roots and rocks would stop the bit. When you would hit a rock you would get jerked in the other direction without warning. Within another... week that project should be all done.
As for my *ahem* "stupid" news of the day, that would be that Starbucks is starting to move into my area, and in full gear. As of right now in the last month there are two new ones. What's next? They are going to start to put Starbucks into existing Starbucks? That would just be wrong.
Enough is enough already with this crap. Yes, we know that it is not something good when someone just goes missing for no reason and cannot be found. It is a sad thing for her parents.
