Movie Night

Not sure about these choices but it wouldn't be a first for me. I am going for Suicide Squad and GhostBusters.

It could have been worse!

This is proof not all black men can dance

Movie Day

After going out to watch Startrek Beyond I decided to stay at home and watch Jason Bourne and Central Intelligence both I must say were good movies.  I think I might do Superman vs Batman now.  I need a distraction for this evening.  Then dinner, exercise and sleep.  Probably not in that order either.

Good Night to me!

Startrek Beyond

Just got back from the movie Startrek Beyond and it was a good movie.  It has been several years since I have been to the movies and boy has it changed.  You can have your dinner served to you at your seat.  I did not have anything since I am self conscious about even eating at a restaurant by my self.  It smelled good!

Whew!!!!!!!!

I almost pouched my corporate laptop this evening.  It bluescreen and would not boot back into windows.  Well after a couple of reboots it is working now.  I will have to back up my documents and get ready to reinstall Windows.  I needed to do it for a while but held off on it.  Now I am thinking that this glitch was a sign for me to get this done. 

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surprise Party

I had a surprise party for IT day and this was one of the time I was really surprised.  Helps to take my mind off of other things.

Jury Duty

Well the first day of jury duty went kind of okay.  I was worried about other things that later in the day resolved them selves but I think this jury duty thing is going to be a learning experience for me.  We only have to meet once a month for the next 6 months.  I can work that and the job is okay with me being off those days..

Salesmen Bad

From this point on I will never let a salesmen in my house again.  They can't take no for an answer.  I am done with them.  I just spent 3 hours saying no, no and no again but all they heard was I liked the device.  I need to breath and calm down.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tired

After a involuntary power nap later this evening I am still up but getting ready to go to sleep.  I was able to get my exercising in but it was hard.

Good Night to me!

Power Nap

Even though I woke up late this morning I am tired now.  I need a power nap or to go to sleep before 12am.  As long as I get my dinner, exercises and nightly note sent off I can go to sleep anytime and probably will tonight.  Here's to pleasant dreams.

Ice Cream Day

I had a shake for lunch and thought that was unusual until I found out it is Ice Cream Day.  What a coincidence! 

Frontdoor Done

My front door area was looking pretty bad up until today.  I don't use the front door at all since I park in the garage and come in the house through the garage door. Now it is cleaned down and ready for visitors.  It will stay that way too!​​

Done for the day

Got a large majority of the outside work done.  So I don't have that much to do tomorrow.  Lunch with my friends went okay but it was kind of long LOL.  I like talking to them so it did not seem that long really.  I got my nightly note sent off and now I have to call my sister back.  I might go for a drive to clear my head but I have not decided yet.  I still have my tech stuff to download this evening.  Oh well

Now to get dinner.  I might do a pot pie this evening and resist the urge to go to McDonald's considering I weighed myself today and it looks like I lost 10 pounds.  I am now at 260.  I want to get to 240 but if I can get to 250 in the next month I will be okay.  At least I will be able to fit into my old pants again.  I need to get a treadmill I think.  I will have to think about it the next week or so.  For now mowing my yard is plenty of walking for me.

Another Power Nap

Just woke up from another power nap before bedtime but I will need to go to sleep at a decent hour.  Now I need to eat and relax and rerun my show again.

Power Nap

After another power nap I might be up a while.

Oh well

Made it back alive

It is raining in Tyler by nothing in Jacksonville.  I thought it would be pouring here like it was in Tyler.  Well I was able to get my stuff and did not get drowse at all driving there and back.  That hour pour nap did the trick because I was think I was going to need a lot more considering how sleep I was at that point.

Now I need to finish watching my show and go asleep.

Don't want to go to Tyler

Took a nap a little while ago but still can't seem to get motivated to go to Tyler. Okay, I am going to slap myself a couple more times and get off my butt and go.  I need to do this now!

Crap I probably won't be back until 2am.  Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

Yard is almost done

Well I have two thirds of it done and will finish the reset tomorrow.  I can't find my shovel.  The neighbors may probably have it but I need to check.  The neighbors down the street did not get their dead dog out of my yard but I am not in the right mental state to go down and talk to them.  I need to be at peace first and I am not there yet.  Maybe in a couple I can go down there and address the issue with them again.  They are some special type of people to do something so crappy.  If I was a bad person I would go and tell their son the dog is dead and in my yard but I won't stoop to their level.  I need to go to Walmart for a shovel and a couple of other thing but I will wait until tonight.

Ninja Turtles Movie

Not a bad movie and I definitely need the distraction this evening.  Now what to do!  I will watch what makes me happy because I can use some of that about now.  Maybe even another movie.

Podcast

I forgot my shows at work and have to go back and get them.  I need to get my head out of the clouds.

Can't sleep

Woke up at 2am and could not go back to sleep.  Trying to be productive and get some house cleaning done.  I am starting to get sleepy again but need another 20 minutes to finish up a couple of things.  I am going to be a hurting unit in the morning.

At least it was not a bad dream but I do feel uneasy.  Oh well I must forge forward.

Good Night/Morning

Long Day

It was definitely a long day.  Full of meetings and still did not get everything done.  Hopefully tomorrow is better.

I definitely had happy thoughts today

Back Pains

Well my back was a lot better today and I was able to function at work okay.  It will be an interesting day tomorrow but I am aware of what has to be done.  I am taking it to the house baby! LOL

Hello Tuesday

Ok,I had a  nightmare lastnight that kept me up a while but I was able to get back to sleep after facing what caused it.  I however woke up later than planned but that is okay.  I will make the best of it.  Here is to new beginnings!

😁 

Yard is done

Well I finished the yard this evening.

I also watched Independence Day 2 and it was okay but strange.

Now I think I will try and drive to tyler this evening and get some French Toast from Walmart.  A drive to clear my head is in order.  Why does life have to be so confusing and complicated!

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I lied

I do have more yard work.  I have to bury a dead bird outside my office window.  Every year I have one of those to get rid of that way.  I might have to leave the Christmas lights going in that window during the day so it deters them from crashing into it.  I also have to mow the back of my yard.

My yard is a work in progress and I am taking baby steps to get it in working order.  I spend so much time at work that I have neglected it and it shows.  Well no more starting Tuesday it is all about me.  I need to better organize my life and stop letting things spiral out of control.  I will have my cake and eat it too!  LOL

Eventful day

Well I was able to get the yard work done today.  I had to talk to the neighbor that has the dead dog in my yard and let them know they have to come and get him.  I have been very understanding up to this point but that dog smells bad at certain times of the day.  I did not check when I got home this evening but I will check in the morning since he said he would come and get it this evening.  I think I am going to have and talk with them again tomorrow.  My other neighbor said this is not the first time this has happened with them and a dead dog.  With everything going on in my life I was very calm when I went down and spoke to the boyfriend.  I did not feel frustrated thank goodness.

Just got through talking to my sister.  Her birthday was yesterday and I tried calling her lastnight but was not able to get her on the phone.  Spoke for a couple of hours today and now it is time to eat and watch a movie.

I am going to be late this morning

Just starting my exercising now and I still have to shower and shave.  One of those two I will have to skip this morning LOL.  Hard to get motivated to go in today but I must move on.

Day was a little better

I had my Mid Year Review today and it went okay.  Now I can start my savings for Christmas.  The one thing I want this year I can't buy and probably will not get but hopefully I will come to accept this and move on.  My life is changing and I am interest to see what is in store this year.😯

One down one to go

Well the buzzards cleaned up the small dog yesterday but the big one remains.in the bushes.  I spoke with the owner and they don't want to come and get it but if the buzzards don't finish it off in a couple of days they will get some friends to come down and get the remains.  I will keep them to it.

Why me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buzzards are back

Well the 2 dead dogs in my yard are being taken care of by the buzzards again.  I will still have to go out at some point and get rid of the remains but I need to contact the owners of the dogs to see if they will do the right thing and do it themselves.  I will check on them later today and call animal control first thing in the morning.  I would post pictures but that is just wrong.

Not what I expected day

Well I discovered 2 dead dog in my yard today that brought mowing to a grinding halt.  I was able to mow around them but what to do about getting them off my property?  I can't get people to pick up my garbage I pay for completely How am I going to get them to pick up 2 possible 3 dead animal items.  I will have to call animal control to see if they can come out and pick them up.

Also I went to a little party this evening and was good despite people trying to get me to be naughty.I was waiting for a certain someone to show up and they didn't but that is okay.  They know they will have to pay for that one.

Crap, I think I may have a cold now.  

No bueno! 

Worst week ever

Where do I start there were so many things that went wrong this week not sure how to begin.  Okay here are the highlights

I had to get ready several deployments that still are not ready yet.

I had to try and do an inventory of one of the systems for a upcoming project

I had to get several hundred pieces of equipment ready for shipment

I had to replace several hundred pieces of equipment

I had an over the night meeting and got sick from something I ate.  It was so good though!

I had a meeting I had to cancel due to the over night meeting

And the only thing I have to show for the whole thing is that 2 items I will be able to deliver on by next week possibly 3 not counting the overnight meeting which is done now😏.

I feel defeated but one thing kept me together the whole time and I have to be thankful for that blessing.😍

I had a lot of time to reflect while I was asleep today even though it was only for 3 hours but I have to make a change in my life.  I am letting circumstances dictate my fate and they are leading me to make wrong decisions.

Some times change is bad but sometime it is good.  I will hope for the good.

Okay back to work now!😁

Work is tough!

Well today was a interesting day.  Another day that I was almost at my breaking point.  Offers of help keep me from going over the edge but the work keeps piling up.  I have something that keeps my mind occupy but even with those good thought it is hard.  I need to see the light at the end of the tunnel but it is hard some days.  This week is going to be a bear.

I have to pray for strength 😃

Dad's Birthday Again

Well is has been almost 4 years since my dad passed away and the 15th was his birthday.  I try to do something special for his and my mother's birthday but this year I was not able to for either.  Not sure why the day gets so crazy on their birthday but I think I will have to start taking them off to ensure I can take time to reflect on those days.  Live and learn!

Happy Birthday Dad!

New phone lots of work

This new phone is a lot of work to configure.  I am liking the battery life so far.  I am getting 2 days with moderate use.  I did notices that half of my battery usages is snapchat.  I wonder why that is the case.  Um!!!!!!!!!  😍

Yard cleared good, More to mow bad!

Well someone from work came over and for a few dollars cleared a section of my yard that has been in weeds and vines since I moved here.  Now I have more to mow.  Not sure how I feel about this situation.  Time will tell!

Before

After

😁

Day 7

Well I was a bad boy and missed the last two days but did get my stuff done this morning.  Next weekend I will do better!

Day 4

Going okay so far.  Definitely starting to feel it in the torso region.  I need to start getting up earlier in the morning.  I will start that tomorrow.

Pain

I guess pain is a good thing if felt in the places being worked.  This is going to be a while.

LOL

Day One Exercise

I must make a new path towards success.  Starting with getting back into shape.  I will be faithful for 60 days and mark my improvement.  This is going to be hard!!!!!😏

Yard work finished

Well the yard work is kind of finished but I need to go to Tyler for fish patties none the less.  I also need to get french toast.  Why can't they have these items here in Jacksonville!  Oh well!

I might make the trip tomorrow

Yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Movie Night Again

I think I am going to do Marvel movies tonight and DC movie tomorrow evening.  

Now I need to make my pasta and garlic sticks for dinner and popcorn for the movies.

I may have mentioned this before but my life is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😏

Yard work

Well I am almost finished with the yard.  I just have to wait for the rest of it to dry up so I can finish mowing and weed whacking.

Now I am off to get food because I am too tired to cook and then spin up a movie.  

My life is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😁

Pics

Here is the things, homie don't like to take pictures but I will have to make the leap and start.  Instagram and Snapchat you have been warned.😃

#tryingtochange

Dropbox bad, Mega good so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the other day I got a message from Dropbox that my 48 gigs of space was going away and I would be 1.8 gigs over my limit at that point.  They did not have the deal like google drive that I can pay 2 dollars a month for a 100 gigs of storage but for 10 dollars a month I can get 1tb of storage.  I don't think so Dropbox.  I am keeping my pictures from my phone on there but I need to find another cloud provider.  In steps Mega, 50 gigs of free space and now I have a new cloud provider for backing up the photos on my phone.  I only had a couple of gigs of photos so it just took a couple of hours to upload from my phone but all is good for now.

Dropbox you need some lower tiers for pricing of space!  Just saying

2 blogs good

Having 2 blogs I think is a good thing.  Different venues is a good thing.!

Now my fish sandwiches are calling me.

Later

Finished Mowing Today

I am doing my mowing in 2 days stints so I can give the mower some rest and me too.

Glad I am done before it rains tomorrow.  😃

Staying Positive

Some days are harder than other but wisdom is not free.  I just have to stay the course.  😃

Wasabi

Asian horseradish is potent.  It literally almost killed me and I just had a small taste of it.  Never again, never again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yard

Finished the yard today but still more work to come

Interesting Weekend

Well I walked in a charity event for battered women in women flipflops and found a new picture for my desktop.

I love this pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Night was better

Well I was able to get off work earlier today.  Right now there are storms going on but the thunder has stopped for now.  Please let my power stay on through this ordeal.

Work, Work, Work

Another 14 hour day!  Got to love it.  Now I sleep.  TGIF

Memory Upgrade Check

Finally finished my memory upgrade for my laptop.  Now I need to see how long it takes before I have to reboot due to low resources.

Home Stretch

Almost done with the yard.  Mowed all the spots that are dry.  Now I have to wait for the rest of the yard to dry out.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost Ready

The mower is put together and I got gas into it today but I couldn't bring myself to mow the yard with it being as wet as it is right now.  Hopefully tomorrow the ground will be dry enough for me to mow or at least get the edges of the yard done.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost done

Well my back freed up on the pain long enough for me to finish most of my yard.  I feel a lot better than I did late lastnight even early this morning.  I need to get into shape so it doesn't happen as much but 3 to 4 times a year is not much to complain about I think.

Work

Well my back feels better so I am going to try something stupid but necessary.  Mow my yard after putting the new mower together.  Now I just have to lift a box that is probably a 100 pounds off a box to the floor to get the mower out of it.  What could possible go wrong with that after my back issue. LOL

Oh well 

😃

Back is hurting

Lastnight for no reason at all my back started hurting really bad.  I need to get into shape.

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost done with the yard

Well it was a long day and I was not able to finish my entire yard but I sm st 50%.  I have to get it done this week.

I am really out of shape!

Memory Upgrade

Upgrading the memory in my laptop to 8 gigs.  It will allow me to do more productive stuff on it than what I am doing now.

Can't wait!

To the yard we go!

Well it is time to get the yard in shape.  It's going to be a long day.

Did not finish the yard today!

Well I could not get the mower working after changing the oil and gas so I was forced to use the old school mower and boy did I get a work out today.  I am going to have an buy a new one later this week Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buenas Noches!

Time to go to sleep now.  Tomorrow is Friday! 😃

Mom's Birthday

Today is my mother's birthday and I did not do anything special.  I should have went to a movie this evening but everyone will be doing that today so I don't think that will be a pleasant experience.

She has been gone a while and I still miss her.

Happy Birthday Mom

Vacation Toys

Okay checking off

Chromecast (check)

Firestick (check)

Wireless Rav (check)

Vacation time and a place to go (so not checked)

This weekend would be complete if I could get 2 more things done:

Lawnmower working so I could mow my yard

I wish I could say out loud

Sunday Morning

Why did I leave my work laptop at work.  Now I have to go in and work a couple of issues today.

I am so ready for the smaller laptops but not until next year.

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kodi on the Firestick

I was able to get my firestick setup and also got Kodi installed.  I need to configure Kodi but I can do it at a later date.

I did also discover the HDMI port on the back of my TV is bad.  I may have damaged it when I was using it for my laptop as an extended screen.  Not able to fix but I may have a workaround for it.

Fire Stick

Well I got a fire stick a couple of weeks ago but since I can't sleep I am configuring it now.  I thought it would be like a Roku but oh well.  I like it so far.

What to do?

This is a typical Saturday where I spend the day just sleeping but now what to do?

Um!!!!!!!

Early Morning

5am is going to come real early!

Oh well

What a day!

Wow

A lot has happened today.

Training on a system that I am so behind on it is not even funny.

Finished a laptop upgrade to windows 10 and it actually improved the laptop performance.

Also threw myself in the frying pan but I so hope it is worth it.  Possible train wreck!!!!

I am so trying to change the way I do things and handle situations.  I must move forward but I would be lying if I said my heart is not pounding in my chest.

Deep breaths

Computers

I have been working on this computer for the last 8 months now and I am finally done with it.  When a computer gets so old you have issues getting Linux install it is time to upgrade but I was able to get Linux to install so it has a new life now.  Now I just need to do a burn in and get one piece of software installed and it is finish.

The person that owns this computer owes me big time.  Now what to ask for all my work.  Um!!!!!!!  LOL

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Do over!

Well a couple of days ago I lost my printer access when my print server went down hard.  I was using Server 2012 on borrowed time and it was past due so I could not go with it again.  I had to be good and not install a illegal version of windows but I need an os that I can print to from my laptop and computers in my house.

In comes Linux and after 2 days with the help of Google print I have a printer I can print to from any device that Google chrome.  That means my phones and tablets.  Very , very nice!

Now I need to get file share setup on this box and I will be good.  I need to learn Linux and now I have my chance.  I also need to learn Spanish but that is another hurdle to clear.

I am really liking Google print.  Again very nice!

Irony

My back stops hurting Saturday afternoon and I just sat around and rested this weekend but now Sunday evening before I go to sleep it starts hurting again.  The good thing at least I know it wasn't about screwing up things on Friday but I could really go without the back ache.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Laptop Reload part 1

After reloading a laptop for a friend with Windows 10 now I want to do my laptop again but I need to upgrade the ram in mines first.  I have to get the memory upgrade done soon.  I might do the reload soon even without the memory upgrade.

Movie

I want to go to a movie tonight but my back still hurts granted it is not as gad as yesterday but I am not 100%.  Why now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superbowl Is tomorrow

Well the Superbowl is on tomorrow and I am trying to get ready  Not sure who I am going with as far as team.  The Broncos have Peyton but the Panthers are possibly the better team.  Decisions, decisions.

Windows Tablet

Well I was able after several attempts to get Windows 10 installed on my personal tablet.  I don't think 16 gigs will be enough.  I will not go short on hard drive size again.

Soleus Reset

After not checking my Soleus tracking for the last 2 months I noticed a couple of weeks ago it was not running bluetooth.  It took me a while to figure out how to turn it back on and even more to get it paired to my phone again but all is good now.

Snapchat Lesson Learned

Snapchat goes a lot easier when you use an iPhone verses an Android phone.

Work in the new year

I so do not want to go to work tomorrow but I guess I have to start some time.  It was nice to have the time off.  Oh well I have to pay the mortgage.
