I guess I forgot to make an entry last Friday, as you know it was a pretty busy week. Last Thursday night we saw Tanner play again, this time at Old Shawnee Days. Tanner and band had a much longer set to play and filled it with old songs, new ones and a bunch of covers. It was a fun show and I finally got to record something again.
Friday at work must have flown by and then from there we headed to Doni & Phil’s. We brought over a frozen pizza and a couple six packs of beer. We were Gabe’s babysitters for the night. If you didn’t already know, Gabe is their newly adopted pit bull. While enjoying our wonderful dinner and drinks we watched White Chicks which was actually entertaining at times. I wouldn’t go out of your way to see it, but if it’s on TBS one day you might enjoy it. We also fell asleep on their couch watching Caddyshack. Who would have thought that they would be out past midnight?
Saturday we walked down to Panera on the plaza and then came home to take care of some stuff. Kim watched recorded Oprahs while I worked on the new PC (aka Skinnyboy). Phil had it named FatboyII to go along with his Fat Boy Phil enterprise. As of today I have Windows XP SP2 installed as well as apache. I still have to install php and mysql and then I’ll have to move everything over. The two machines are communicating well except for this one small issue. While on Skinnyboy I can see my old machine (aka Ringo) but when I try to view the shared files I’m told that I don’t have permission to access Ringo or something like that. I may edit this later with the real error message. Anyone have any ideas? I have not spent too much time on this though, but I’m curious if I upgraded Ringo to XP from 2000 if it would then work. Anyway, back to our exciting day. From there we made dinner and Mike came over after a little bit. We had wanted to play cornhole all weekend but could never get together enough people to play, and the weather never really cooperated. So instead we did a “Power Hour” which involves a shot of beer every minute for an hour. I think Mike and I each finished off just over six beers in this short amount of time. I never actually did one of these while in college so I guess it was about time that I did, but I don’t plan to do it again. :)
Sunday we went to the driving range and hit some balls. I think we are actually getting better at this goofy game, but we’ll have to see about that the next time we go out to play nine holes. From there we did our standard trip to the grocery and followed it up with another trip to Doni & Phil’s. Mike was there watching Gabe, so him and I switched out the legs on their set of cornhole boards. We also put our set of boards in our car and took them back to our place. As we were carrying them back to our apartment a girl said something to the effect of, “That’s a really fun game.” We got to talking with her and she recently moved into our old apartment #3. Sounds like we may have found someone to join in our cornhole games!
Today I took the Jetta into VW to get a recall service performed. Kim had setup for me to get a rental car, but the guy said it would only take 10 minutes to install a new switch, so I just waited. Sure enough the car was back to me within 10 minutes. It now makes a much quieter clicking noise for the blinkers. All was going well until I got in here at work. I quickly realized that something was wrong, the damn air conditioning is not on. It must be 90 degrees in my office right now and we are still here. Someone mentioned leaving at 10AM if it isn’t fixed, so we’ll see what happens.
It was 11:45 at the latest. Did you get to go home early?
