Cold play

[greatbear]

Well, as is always the case around this time of year, I have a nasty cold. I blame people at work for handing it off to me. Though it seems it's something making the rounds everywhere, s evidenced by the woman at the post office today. "I see you got it too". Yep. Misery and company I guess. I truly hate being sick.

The trip to the post office brought a nice surprise of delivery of my Korg DS-10 synth. This gave me something to fiddle with while in bed. This thing is fun! Just using the demo patches and sequences made for a half hour improvisation. How 'musical' it was is another story. It's all about fun though.

The other day I started adding a couple drive racks to the 'small' server. Fail. The case is too small and wont accommodate the length of the rack without hitting the motherboard. So now I have the fun of rebuilding the server into a slightly bigger case. This stuff never seems to end. Now I have a slightly used case to 'repurpose'.

I can't get over how cold and nasty the weather has gotten lately. I think this might also be a partial blame for my cranky (er than usual) mood these last couple weeks. I still have to winterize the trailer this weekend and clean the chimney as well. This is under the hope that I am mostly over this cold crap.

Observation: Chicken fried steak is good stuff. Chicken fried chicken is redundant.

I cant believe that November is more than halfway gone already. Where does the time go? I am really not looking forward to winter. At all.

You should have come to Dallas in October for Chicken Fried Bacon at The State Fair. Yum!

I'm hoping Santa brings me the Korg. It is on my list.

You'll love the Korg. It's a lot of fun. Like any synth, there's a learning curve, but it's also too easy to make some cool sounds using the demo patterns and the KAOSS pads.

Chicken fried bacon? Now that sounds awesome.

A nasty cold hanging around you? Well, who can blame it? Stay warm, my friend.

I'm not a pleasant one to hang around when sick. A cold is the only one that can handle it.

Something to fiddle with in bed? Wait. I have a better idea!

I know what you mean about colds. Since I teach at a small college, I am exposed to everything either by students or faculty who are exposed to other students. I think I should get hazard pay.

These days I swear the kids are some sort of incubators for the next big epidemic. Jeff works in a rehabilitation/assisted living center and gets exposed to nasties. I go to work with a bunch of people who use their sick time as extra vacation and come in when they are sick and hack all over the place, sharing the love. I want to turn a firehose loose on those people.

I know exactly what you mean.

Doug, the Partner, makes THE best Country Style Steak. Which may or may not be the same as Chicken Fried Steak. I dunno. All I know is I never knew what to do with that steak that looks like it was beaten to death with a meat tenderizer. I do now. It's melt in your mouth deeeliteful.

If it's dipped in a coating and fried, then it's 'chicken fried steak'. I tend to get it while on the road. Certain foods are just appropriate at truck stops and travel plazas.

I get grumpy when sick, which is why I avoid doing intricate or stressful things while ill and doing lots of sleeping.
