Hot hot heat
Jun. 9th, 2008 10:21 pmThe past few days here Tha Garage of Muhfuckin Mayhem Yo have been scorching. Typical Maryland weather, spring is just a hiccup prior to the heat, humidity and eventual drought. With the rest of the week mostly in the 90s, the gardens will mostly tended to with water and not much else.
The weekend was spent up with Jeff's folks. I installed a couple ceiling fans, did a bit of shopping at hardware and auto parts stores, and went to Knoebels just to walk around and eat fairgrounds food. Despite the heat, it was all good. And Kodi did not discharge his dog biscuits into the car's interior. Bonus.
This morning, however, I woke up cranky as hell. I took it out on my Thomas' English muffin which, despite all my attempts to separate cleanly into it's two component halves, ended up coming apart in chunks to the point I ripped it to pieces and threw it all over the kitchen. An insult by my boss this morning was met with rage in his face before I walked out for a protracted break. I guess the heat gets to me after all. Damn those muffins anyway. Anyone else notice they are impossible to split these days?
More bits and pieces arrive tomorrow in an effort to upgrade all the computing hardware around here. Soon to be gone is stuff patched together with sticks and glue, made from stone knives and bearskins. Rather than buy stuff all at once, bits and pieces get ordered as budgets allow. Things like cases and power supplies come first, since that stuff stays pretty constant price-wise. Last to order is CPUs and memory, since that stuff is always getting upgrades and price cuts. It's like riding the tech upgrade wave.
No, if I can only make it through this week without melting or having a meltdown and killing someone, I'll be fine.
