I Was Gonna Post Last Night, But

SWMBO came to me and said “I haven’t seen Ant Man yet. Why don’t we sit down and watch it together?” Well, who (in their right minds) could dismiss an invite like that? Not I, that’s for sure.

So, we sat and watched Ant Man. By the time that was over it was well past my bed time. Was nice just sitting and watching a movie with her though. I do enjoy her company.

All My Antenna Wires Are Hanging LOW!

Woke up to several inches of snow this morning. Cool! Still had to get SWMBO to the ferry landing in time for her ferry though. Not cool. But, we left about 10 minutes earlier than we usually do and just made it in time. That was good. On the way home I saw about 6-8 cars that had slid off the road. Probably driving too fast for the conditions. The whole round trip took 1.5 hours cause it was actively snowing the whole time. Really slowed most people down.

BWBlond014Still, it was kinda fun. Not snowing now and I see on the Wx map that rain is coming in so most of this should be gone by afternoon. We’ll see. I hate rain now. Would rather it snowed.

Filling out a “adoption form” for a dog at a rescue site near here. Wow. One would think I was applying for immigration to Australia or something. Welfare would be easier to get! All I want is a young dog to take me for walks a couple times a day and be a member of the family. References? References? How would I discipline my dog for unwanted behaviors? Visit my house?

Too much. I’m about to tell them to shove their paperwork (intrusive paperwork) and wait until spring when people are giving away puppies at Safeway.

Just got back from picking SWMBO up. Roads are wet but not icy. If it rains tonight most of this snow will be gone by morning. Just hope the roads aren’t slickery in the morning.

Map Say Snow. Map Lied. Bad Map.

But I don’t see any when I step outside. I been looking too.

Other than waiting for the “snow storm” to move in, and all the local tv News programs are damned near calling for the Heaven’s to fall, just nothing is going on. All the usual chores. Really started getting rid of “stuff” in my shack. Stuff that’s been laying around for years. Books I’m never going to use. Piles of paper I’ve been meaning to scan. Got rid of a lot of it.

BWBlond004Made a run to Safeway for some distilled water for my cpap and thought I might as well get a breakfast burrito while I was there. It wasn’t that good.

Still getting DM780 to work on the new computer. It’s locked up only once today! Maybe I’m getting there.

Swapped my keyboard and mouse for a wireless keyboard and mouse. I hate wires. I know I’m in the wrong hobbies to hate wires; but I do. Hate wires.

I get to take SWMBO to the ferry landing every morning for the next week or two. And pick her up in the evenings. It’ll be fun. She won’t like it cause I insist that we don’t leave at the last possible minute, but, she’ll get used to it.

Finally saw some (pityful) snow about 1840. Really pityful. Barely snowing. I guess it is just enough to technically claim it snowed. Unless it really really dumps we aren’t going to get near the 7+” the News was claiming was on the way for the Hood Canal region. (Later note: finally starting to look like real snow. About .23” out there now.)

And SWMBO is home so I’m gonna go spend some time with her tonight. Maybe we should snuggle in …

We Had Some Snow Today

Which ain’t news for some parts of the country. Kind of rare here though. And, of course, it was all mostly gone by afternoon. Still, was nice to have some anyway.

My Poor Antenna Wire!

Fr40SWMBO had to drive in to work (in Seattle) this morning cause they cancelled two ferries this morning. Sucks. And it cost her only $28 to park all day someplace! She let me know that she got there safe if not exactly on time.

Other than that, just not a whole heck of a lot going on around here. Been doing “things” around the house and finishing up the laundry. Getting rid of a lot of computer “stuff” that I’ll probably never use again. Outdated. Obsolete. The recycle place is gonna love me!

SWMBO got home safe and about 15 minutes earlier then usual. Too bad she left her office at 1630 and was on the road that whole time! It’s a bitch when then cancel a Ferry or two from Bremerton. She’s okay and in doing her homework. (I’m still sleeping with a COED!)

Damn Dolphin file manager locks up the computer every time I right click to do something. Sick of it. Have completely uninstalled, purged, rebooted, and reinstalled and it still does it. ???

And that’s about it. I’m gonna go lay down and read a bit.
