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.

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.
