Sunday, February 26, 2006

I got up today and talked with Carol and then I head into work for a few min but I stopped by McDonalds and had breakfast and drove around Campus and took some pictures that you might want to see by clicking here and then I drove around some more and came home. I added bird feed to the feeders and cleaned up the yard and cleaned up some things at the house. I am adding some things to the 4sale page if you want to check it out later. Below are some pictures I took at the park of my car and also my soon to be backyard "I WISH"... I worked on my computer setup today/tonight and had the website down for a few. I finished that and logged back into everything and had a really nice donation from Stacey for my website and that means A LOT to me.. Thanks so much Stacey. I talked with Carol for a few and got some nice emails from Jenny and Joe. Today has just been a very hard day for me for some reason. I cant get some things out of my mind that should be out of my mind. For some reason I am loosing control of my left arm and find myself pulling it up with my right hand and lifting it with my right hand and I don't know why but I am going to have it looked at. I am also going to start working on some new things on my website to let people get to know me from way back. I will let you know when they start happening. I want to thank everyone for a great weekend and a new week is about to begin. I tried to lay down and couldn't sleep at all. I keep thinking and thinking and thinking. It is now 2:25am and I am up just looking at website. I am working with Comcast to get a bigger pipe into the house so that the cams are faster and that more people can enjoy the music shows. I know it will be a little more more but I think it will be worth it for you all. If you would like to donate you can do so on any page by clicking on the Donate button.

Saturday, February 25, 2006

I got up today a little late and had a rough night sleep. I had some CRAZY dreams lol. I then headed into work to get some paperwork ready for a meeting. I then headed to the Garage to do some work and just try and keep my mind off things. I then got a call from my Interim CEO and my Boss and they wanted to have a meeting with me. I headed to that and then left there and went back to the Garage in a very down and out mood and just needing some ME time. I left the Garage and just drove and drove and drove. I came home and didn't really feel like talking so I went out again and had dinner and talked for a few and then walked around a few small stores just to look. I then came home and talked with Dish Network on the phone and I am getting the brand new VIP 622 that just hit the market and not a lot of people have yet. In fact it wont even get shipped to me for another 3 weeks because it is so new. It's a HD Receiver that can DVR in HD and SD and also run 2 TV's and is the top of the line. I then talked with Joe and I tell you what, he is so nice to me and so kind and always has advice and help for me. Thanks Joe. Then Joe started his own blog.. This is totally great. I talked with Carol and she helped also. I then talked with Christie and Statia - Thanks Statia for calling me today and for being concerned. I am now just really trying to decided what way to go now. Well anyway ------ Everyone have a great night. I get to hopefully sleep in tomorrow.

I then had a nice visit from Christie and we headed out to eat and then came back and she headed out (wasn't feeling well) and I changed into my PJ's and now I am sitting back and just hanging out. I also would like to thank 2 very cool and special people. Jenny and Joe got me a gift and sent it to me and I received it today. They sent me what you see below because Joe and I both LOVE Cheetos and to top it off its a bobble head. lol I love it.. Thanks so much guys.

Tuesday, February 21, 2006

Well I got up alright. Around 3:14am and working on the Servers at work via remote. I am now getting ready to head to the garage to make sure the first day on the system goes pretty well. It is now 6:15am and I am on my way into work and I am stopping at the VP to get donuts for everyone and juice. I got there and worked with the phone system and then headed to the store to get a small AM/FM radio to plug into the phone system to be able to put music on the hold feature of the system. Got that wired up and it works great. got a call from the Main Office that someone's computer is messed up and cant log on. I went there and found out the this persons computer messed up on Friday and didn't tell me till today and now she is mad that she cant log in. If she would of told me about it on Friday then it would of been fixed by Monday. Well I gave her a loaner to use and it is up and running. I headed to Anderson Office to fix internet connection and got that fixed then headed back to the Yorktown Garage, on my way back I had lunch with STATIA * rock on * lol she is so funny and then I got back to the Garage and fixed a few more issues and then started in on the next project on the phone with a few different vendors. I then headed home around 4:30 and got some calls from the office to fix a few other things and now I just got off the phone with some IDIOTS from Dish Network and now I am just chilling out.

Monday, February 20, 2006

I got up today early and headed into the Garage around 6:45am for a install of the New Phone System. Today is a holiday for our company but I am doing this during a time when no one will be in the office for less down time for them. Started in on everything and have a picture of the Closet where everything is going to go before and after at the bottom of today's entry. I kept the Car Cam on during the entire install and I hope that you all liked that. I am working on trying to do different things with the cams to make them a little more interesting. I came home from work after everything was pretty much done around 10:00pm and I am crashing because I have to get up early. The time is now 11:20pm

Sunday, February 19, 2006

I got up today early and headed into work and worked for a few. I then came home and I am working on stuff for work from home. I am getting nervous about something going on at work but I wont know anything till after Wednesday. I just wish I didn't worry about stuff as much as I do. I am now watching the RACE on the TV and WOW lol. Well when stuff is going on and it bugs me I just have to either know what is going on, or do something that I know I need to do so with that being said..... I bought that new pipe for the Antenna to make it higher and I needed to do it when my brother was here with me. You see I used to work at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Ohio and I climbed the Magnum XL-200 and ride it before the park opened everyday. We would have to climb to the top and get on the ride and then ride it till the ride was warm and ready for the day. And I was fine with all that. Well when I came back from there I just freaked out and now I cant stand high things at all. I mean it really really freaks me out. I cant look up or around or anything if I am high or I freak. So I did what I needed to do and climbed up on the roof and put on the new pole myself. SHEWWW I am down and done. Below are some pictures. Well I talked with Carol a few times today on the phone and she had a great day. I talked with Stacey and she is doing great. Well I am going to head to bed. My office is closed tomorrow because of the holiday but I have to work at the main location and at the garage because of having SBC in to do phone work and also putting in a new system in the garage. Night All....

Saturday, February 18, 2006

Got up today and basically hung out around the house and headed into work and then came back home. I got a new pole for my Antenna but I haven't installed it yet. It was way to cold out side to do that. I sat around and watched TV and just relaxed. It is almost midnight and that is the time for Gonzaga Game to start. Well it is over now and I am going to go to bed.. What a great great game.

Friday, February 17, 2006

Got up today early and headed into work and worked on a lot of things done before noon. I then met up with Erica from Moorehead and we worked on some things and then we headed down to the Garage to train people on the net phone system going in on Monday. I am very anxious for it to start happening. I came home and hung out around the house and then watched a TV show about one of my Dreams. I have always dreamed about going to the North Pole or South Pole and I watched a show in HD that just made me cry my eyes out because I want to be there so bad (The South Pole). It was so pretty and so awesome. Here is a link to the ship that can take you there

Wednesday, February 15, 2006

I just got up and I am about to head to Richmond Indiana for the day. I have to set up new phone lines, new computer system, new printers, fax, and DSL at the Apt. complex I talked about a week or so ago. I just wanted to say today right off the bat. HAPPY 31st WEDDING ANNIVERSARY to 2 of the best people you could ever know JENNY AND JOE. Thanks guys for everything you guys are just great. I headed out and drove to Richmond and it ended up being a really nice clean and great install. I taught her as much as I think she could take in and then I headed out. I was on my way back to town and pulled over to talk with McLeod USA and SBC on the phone and then headed back to town. I came home and relaxed and watched the launch (along with Carol and Jenny and Joe) the Sea Launch of another Satellite for Dish Network.. Now I am working on website and watching BONES. I sold my Digital Camera and talked to Carol a few times today.

Tuesday, February 14, 2006

I got up today and headed into work. I needed to get there early because today is laptop day. All the CM's in the company bring in their laptops and I update them and install new software and things like that. Today I had all of them plus a few I think 26 total or so. I worked on them with my BACK KILLING me and then I finished up around 1:30 or so. I then left work and went to lunch and then to the Video Store and then to another meeting and then finished up there and came home. I talked with a friend on the phone and was to go there and have Valentine's Dinner and I stopped at the video store to pick up a couple new movies (you can read about on my movie page) and I then stopped at Walgreen's. While I was there an older lady had car trouble and was upset so I talked with her and worked on her car and couldn't do anything with it so I took her to her home and made sure everything was ok. I missed dinner but hey that is ok. I then went for a small drive and stopped by my brothers to visit him and the dogs lol they are so great I then came home. I took some pictures of the Antenna (below) and now I am just hanging out and watching HD TV baby lol. If anyone wants to donate a motor to move the antenna with let me know lol.

Monday, February 13, 2006

Well I got up today at 8:00am and got ready and headed into work. I have a busy day ahead of me with getting a lot done at work. I went to lunch around 1:00 or so and headed to Menard's to take back the bunny ears that I bought yesterday. I then looked around and headed over to Meijer's and got a movie (DVD).. Yes can you believe I actually bought one well I bought the DVD called Stealth and I love it on my TV. I also got some Freezer bag's for work. The reason why is (I am anal) when I buy a computer or laptop or printer they usually come with 1 - 3 cd's also a manual so I put them together in a zip lock and label it for who it goes to and what it is so when I need it I just pull it out and it is everything that came with that purchase. I then went to lunch at Arby's and then to Blockbuster to grab another 2 movies. You can read about those on my Movie Page. I then walked over to Radio Shack and then came back to work. The server went down around 3 and I worked on it till about 4 and then left for the day. I came home and met up with my brother JEFF and headed to Radio Shack. I bought a new TOY and then came home.. We got busy and started to install it (well put it together). And a piece of it was broken so we headed back out and got another replacement piece and then went back to the house. Well I then got to much in a rush and broke another piece so we headed back again to get that replace. We got back and got it installed on the roof and then came inside. And yes I am still keeping Dish Network - Comcast - And the Antenna. My brother said no way will this give you any good channels. I said ok here we go. BAMMMMMM BOOOOMMMMM YAHHHHHOOOO there they are. 14 HD Channels in Mint Condition. WOW Talk about Rock and Roll. My brother and mother were blown away wow. I now receive all the local channels out of indy and Muncie in HD and they are GREAT.. See for some reason the normal channels suck off antenna but with HD Signals they come in stronger then normal channels. You have to have a HD TV to be able to pull them in though. I then talked with Carol a few times today on the phone and she is doing great with her new Glasses and I talked with Jenny and Joe and they have sent me a surprise so I cant wait to get it. Now I am just sitting back in total wow lol. I will have pictures of the antenna tomorrow since we finished it up on the roof in the dark. lol. JEFF CONNER ---- Thank you so much for your help. And Carol thank you so much for your words of support.

Sunday, February 12, 2006

Well, I went to bed last night around 10:00pm and I just now got up and it is 2:30pm. So about 16 1/2 hours later lol. WOW I must say I don't feel bad at all except for my back. It is really hurting today. I am going to just hang out and try to see how the day goes. I am going to try and go to bed early tonight also. I bought a pair of bunny ears for my TV just to see what I could pick up if anything using the Antenna and I got 2 channels so now that I have the bug I will take this one back tomorrow and go for the big boy on the roof.

Saturday, February 11, 2006

I put up with that all morning and then called the Doc's (Gesh I am getting to hate that place) and I have an apt. at 1:00. I went to Marsh and got some 7-Up and some stomach stuff. Now I am back home kind of hanging out and working on email stuff from work and that is about it. I want to thank everyone for the Cards, Emails and phone calls. I went to doctor today and they said I have a virus/flu bug and that my back is really tight and knotted up. She gave me a shot in my BUM (as Kim would say) for nausea and then I came home and broke out in a high fever and laid down and was out like a light. I woke up sweating and fever gone and not feeling too bad. I am up now (11:00pm) working on site and reading all the great blogs and just feeling better. Thanks everyone again for just being really caring.

I went into work and right off the bat picked up the LCD Projector and BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM pulled something on the right side of my back.. I then went to lunch (Wasn't feeling to good) me and Tina went to Damon's and during the middle of my Salad I just felt very funny so I went to the Bathroom and you guessed it... Went into the Stall and you know you cant get down on the floor in a stall and pray to the porcelain so I bent over and out came everything. I didn't have breakfast so not to much was there but a lot of ACID. I then felt my back just pull and tear. I then went back out and we left lunch. I went back to work "Devoted" and couldn't do it. I left there and went straight to my Massage Therapist. She worked on me for about an hour and a half and then I left. She said that you can pull something in your back so bad that it can cause you to throw up. I left and came home and laid down and then woke up in pain. Not worse then before massage but still serious pain. I took some of my Stash of pills - Skelaxin 800mg and Naproxen 500mg after a boiling hot shower. I also took 2 more pain pills. For you people that want to know or make sure they are ok lol they are only a few years old (3) so they are still pretty good lol.

I got there and found out that the Printer in the Transportation Garage in Yorktown was still messed up and also they had lost all power and the server there crashed. While I was waiting for that to be up and running I got a call from our Anderson office that a laptop there was totally down. So I had the laptop from Anderson brought to me and I fixed it in a quick amount of time and then I installed a new Rack Mount APC Backup Unit and then left to go to the Garage. I got there and fixed the Server then fixed the Printer and then headed back to the main office. I placed an order from Dell and then headed out because of just being so tired. I came home and crashed for about 3 hours and it was nice. Now I am up and just hanging out at the house.
