weekend is almost over...

it's almost the end of Sunday. Wah. That means back to work tomorrow. That's bad. On the upside, my cubemate is out for 2 weeks on vacation. This is good. Got up at 8:30 or so and went and mowed and edged the lawn. It looks really good out the front. I mowed the neighbours lawn as well as they sold the house and moved to Austin, and it'll be 30 days before the new neighbours move in. Bob asked me to mow the lawn every couple of weeks, and it's not that much more for me to do anyway, so I'm doing it when I mow. Dropped by Target to pick some stuff up, then visited Helzberg to have my lovely bride's engagement ring resized, wandered about a bit, then hit Best Buy looking at MP3 players for her. Came home, took some pictures of the house to send to my folks, then moved some stuff around in the garage. We're going to finish the laundry room and turn it into an office for me, so we've cleared that room ready for my f-i-l to come on over and help me finish the drywall and lay the carpet and get the desk moved in. Then the fun can begin - I'm looking around for some routers and switches to build a small test network to nail down my CCNP, then I also want to get my Solaris and Oracle certifications this year, so I need Sun and *Nix boxen to blow up and then build production kit once TWC and Earthlink sort their shit out regarding cable modems. SWBell doesn't do DSL out here yet, which sucks, so I'm left with RR. Ew. Anyhow, all the heavy lifting and stuff is done for the day. I survived the heat while mowing. Even at 9am it was over 85, which is a little too hot. Perchance I start doing this on Saturdays at 8. Even the god-botherers should be out of bed by then. Toodle whom.
