PC Mechanic

Computer maintenance is annoying because even as a programmer, the people that are trying to mess it up are smarter than me.  I use defrags and virus checkers and even the occassional spam checker and thankfully most of that can be automated.

If you don't want to mess with that there are plenty of sites like http://www.iolo.com/ that will help you out.  It can be a pain but a well maintained computer will keep performing well for a much longer time over it's lifespan.

Cutting Boards

I made a couple of nice cutting boards in my shop recently and I can't seem to sell them for anything.  It's frustrating because I had hopes of using the profits of my woodworking to help pay for the supplies I need to do the woodworking.

So far not so good...

Take The Plunge

Thank goodness for lateral spring plungers and frankly all plungers on behalf of a Dad who wouldn't want to deal with some of the toilet disasters that I have had to in my time without one.

My son still measures the amount of toilet paper he uses in pounds, and despite only being 5 has an advanced proclivity for clogging up toilets with his daily constitutional.

So from us Dads who always get called in from the bullpen to save the day when a toilet is clogged, we say thank you to the humble plunger

Let Me Down

Apparently some guy wrote in his will that he wanted to have 6 Cleveland Browns players as his Pall Bearers so that they could let him down one last time, LOL

As a Browns fan, it's hard not to laugh at that given what we've had to put up with since the late 80's.

Hopefully, unlike him, I will live to see them good again.
