Basra The Sulcata Hunts FurballCategory: pets
I did not speed this up but when I copied it to youtube it was on superspeed. You can't tell me sulcata tortoises are not hunters. We never feed him any meat as he is supposed to be vegetarian but he seems to think otherwise. His usual diet consists of lots of hay and dandelions.
Yet he killed and ate one of our parakeets when it escaped and once I found him with a squirrel paw in the backyard. Then one day matt had the hamster in the tortoise pen and he chased it all over. He enjoyed chasing it so much I decided to make him a fake one out of fun fur to protect the hamster.
I pretty much spent my entire birthday sitting in his warm room and chatting with my friend yvonne on facebook.

Repairing the imacCategory: hardware

Long Night and Long DayCategory: work
So we bought a new car, fixed the imac by replacing the hard drive, got a replacement part for the furnace and today the oven and television repair guys are coming. What is next?
-- Well, the oven repair guy just came. Of course, when he got here the oven is no longer locking itself and and making the F43 locked door shriek. He is ordering us a new controller and lock that should come in 10 days.
The television guy is yet to come. Eventually, this will all be done. I can't wait, then again I seriously worked till like 4am. Luckily, I enjoyed what I was doing to some degree.
This morning National Grid called because the tenants downstairs at Nonna's never transferred the electricity over to their name and they want me to let them in to shut down the power today - friday.
How can the tenants be so dumb to let this happen. They will have no heat. Tony told me they have known about this for months. He also said National Grid threatened to turn it off at the pole which I can't understand. Wouldn't that shut off electricity to the whole house?
Tonight at midnight is my birthday and I still have no plans/ideas. There was honestly nothing I wanted or wanted to do. I hope 34 doesn't suck.

Happy birthday!!! Hmmm... 34 was an intensely crazy life-altering year for me. I hope yours is much more tranquil.

it totally sucks that things always seem to break at the same time. it doesn't rain, it pours. the positive side to that is once it is all done, it is back to sunny skies.
good luck with it all, Paul.
And, an early Happy Birthday!! :O)

Traveling to lockportCategory: food
It was totally worth the trip back and forth to Lockport. First of all because the furnace is now fixed but secondly because I tot to order 24 smoked chicken wings from One-eyed Jack's on the way home. Even (e:terry) liked em and he does not even eat wings.

Figures. He lost his other eye slaving over these wings.

Sorry to Assume that isn't a common name I have only known two in my lifetime.... The thing that is both good and scary about facebook is how everything it linked to it... For example this new computer at my mothers has windows what ever is the newest and with windows live you can down load pictures then sign in and upload them to facebook I guess there is a way to set it up (Not sure how) where it like remembers you are signed in. So yes you can put up pictures of say the bandits game or what ever but (yes they would get pulled down at some time) but you could also put up pictures of some chick blowing you or a you and a buddy getting high and one could argue one could ruin their life in under 20 minutes.... Or some else and it links to so many sites. Not sure how it links with yahoo but it does some how... The Face recognition software for pictures is amazing but again kinda scary and creepy at the same time.........
In Terms of Basra maybe someone should put a warning sign on his door.... Don't want anyone passing out in there and waking up missing a foot, HA.....
It wasn't (e:imk2). It was someone I knew from when I lived in Germany. She isn't only Facebook friend and I don't write anything there. I originally signed up so I could get a developer account. Then I lost interest.
As for Basra, I bet he would eat me if I passed out in his room.
1. Yvonne is Awesome
2. Don't forget to feed him or you may become his Dinner some day
3. A very Late Happy Birthday
4. YOU USED FACEBOOK!!!!!!!! Is the world coming to and End, Kidding
There are worse ways to spend a birthday - like taking an 8 hour final exam. :-)
