I found another task I never want to do full time for a living.

Making Cat5 cable ends.

What a pain. It took me 20 minutes to make my 1st working one. No wonder we always bought factory made cables and coiled up the extra wire.

I am about ready to go buy a big box of wireless cards for the computers.

Looks like a standard MP4-12C. I've seen quite a few on Mulholland and the surrounding areas.

The drivetrain may be prototype, but that body is MP4-12C....

Well I know the first cars had to be held at the dealers here since there was a software update that had to be done. There were ROW models that had already been released that needed a recall. I don't recall what the issue was.

Sort of like Microsoft.

When Rick says happy, what he really means is "less grumpy"....

I am a grouchy ol man. I would be unbearable if it were not for my wife. She keeps me very happy. We still hold hands in public all the time.

I often find myself walking around grinning like a goofy kid on happy pills but I have never tried any mood altering drug except alcohol, most beer. And I have not been drunk in so long I can't remember. I don't think I have had a hangover in over 25 years. I learned long ago that the pain of a hangover is not worth the good times.

G-man, with a little luck and planning you can have a lifetime love partner like I have.

~Sigh~

Someday I will know that particular type of happiness as well...

Still only talk to the blonde very little and not about what I really want to tell her.

I was going to introduce myself to the friend of my friend but I realized I am not attracted to her.

I don't know how hard I should look. Before I kept getting told to just stop looking but be open for the right girl to come along.

I am planning on taking a bunch of GE courses this summer which should mean more girls. I just hope I like some of them. I have not actually seen that many girls that really strike me. There have been a few, though, that just instantly grabbed all my attention and could not get their image out of my head. Unfortunately I only saw them once or twice.

Still planning to go to the farmers market Thursday.

Pulled into a parking lot today........target specifically.........lots of people ignoring a guy pushing his truck ti the back of the parking lot..........Afghanistan vet sticker in the window. I think he was shocked someone stopped to help, even more shocked at my age and car........took a look at his truck, nit getting gas.......took him to get a can of gas.......no dice........stick my head under the bed, no whir from the pump....pull the relay and its fried.......it's a 5 prong......all others are 4.......manage to mangle the ac relay into working as the 5th is just for a shutoff valve.....tell him what to get at autozone and he'd be good to go. I know he was shocked that the jackass in the shiny jag was able to fix his truck...

Seems to be a relatively quiet day today on the Stijn thread.
