Oh great. When I fixed my brother's network to talk to his AppleTV I upgraded the router software. Now his cheap HP laser won't get on the network. Arrrgh. Got online and found everyone with that model of HP printer having the same problem and HP don't support it no more. Found a nice Brother B/W wireless laser for $89, He is still not happy.

I watched a high brow intellectual and cerebral movie tonight. Airplane! Dang that is funny. I suppose it helps to have been around in that era. When the nut cases were hanging out at the airport, disco, and some other movies they lampoon. Great movie.

Noticed Airplane! was on a few times this past weekend.

Welp, Bro went and bought an expensive HP monochrome LaserJet. He was flummoxed because you have to connect it to a computer with the supplied usb cable. Then you have to add it as a USB printer so you can download and run the HP utility software to configure the printer's wirelessness. Then you have to remove it as a USB printer and add it back as a wireless one. So had to go over and do all that for him.

He was real happy that he got to continue watching Lost on netflix without any glitches or pixelating. His wife was happy she could print on a laser printer again.

Hope I don't have to worry about his wireless networking and printing for a while.

Um, no!!!! That would wreak havoc here! The rain needs to be up North, preferably in the form of snow.

There is no root structure for the native chaparral, plants because of the lack of water. That structure is needed to keep from having mudslides. With everything dying, the last thing we need down here is Texas like rain.

Morning all, Evening Jeff.

We made it through Monday. Still climbing the hump to up to Wednesday.

Another beautiful 66 degree morning. If the clouds would go away we could catch up on a batch of flying.

Time for more coffee.....

SauCy Jr is turning 18mo in a couple weeks and has been early with all of his teething. Poor little bugger is starting to get his 2yr molars... We had a fun night of no sleep, movies and cold milk.

Then he wanted to sleep when it was time for daycare. Pshht!

Probably more fun than a tornado. Hurricanes last a while so you get the full effect, tornadoes just launch a motorcycle trailer through your garage door and leave. Or such the window out of its tracks in your car as it sucks up corn in the field across the road.

I'm back after a week off. Not a planned week off that's for sure. Two trips to the ER and still not 100% but I'm back to work for now.

nasty head ache. Last Tuesday they did a meningitis work up, blood, ct-scan, LP. BP was only a couple points from getting admitted cause of stroke or heart attack. got sent home with pain meds and muscle relaxers. Was doing fine till Friday when nothing would curb the head ache so back to ER. They think I got caught between a migraine and a stress tension head ache. the pain would bounce from front to back. Today is the first day I have even remotely felt normal.
