Busy with Fall 06 week 0

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

Busy getting ready for the semester. Move in starts tomorrow. Ian and Josh Q are staying with us. Logan comes back tomorrow. Sno moved in today. Lots of moving. I wrote a post about things getting started over at the vtONE site. Give it a read. You’ll like it.

Where have you been?

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

One of the things that I’ve enjoyed keeping track of since I was young has been which states I have visited.  For clarity’s sake, visiting a state simply means I’ve set my feet on the ground there.  For example, I was in Missouri on a five hour layover.  I could see the famous St. Louis […]

Another move today, river tomorrow

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

I helped Richard move into his sweet pad in Stadium Apartments today.  The highlight was the 8′-6″ long couch that wouldn’t fit in the front door.  Our solution: pass it in the back door via the deck (he’s on the third floor).  Sno and I stood the couch up on end, carried it up the […]

Three moves (so far) and a project

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Been keeping busy helping people move and doing a project.  Friday through Sunday, I helped three people to move.  One of the moves was clearing out 606A, which was the original NLCF office.  It hasn’t turned over according to the landlords until now, so we had to take 15+ years of stuff out of it.  […]

A/C Died (Again) and Back

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Our A/C died again (same problem as last time).  The owner took apart the motor and sprayed it with bug killer, and now it seems to be working again.  Tomorrow, the HVAC guy will come and replace the contact that the bugs were in, since it’s probably damaged.

The A/C dies and is Resurrected

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Our a/c in 503 went out early this afternoon. Fortunately, we were able to get it fixed today as well. It was 95 degrees when it came back on and 82 inside. The problem? Earwigs. Earwigs? Bugs? Apparently, the little buggers like to make their home in the compressor fan motor. Sometimes, they get into […]

Five Silly Laws

Monday, July 17th, 2006

In Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church. In California, it is illegal to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle … unless the target is a whale. In Florida, if an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to […]

Mill Mountain Star

Sunday, July 9th, 2006

Had the chance to go up to the Mill Mountain star observation deck tonight with Chris. Good view, even though it was humid out. Stopped at Krispy Kreme on the way up, but the doughnuts weren’t hot. Bummer. I’ve been keeping busy this week–hopefully, I’ll make it to the river this week and get back […]

A Capitol Third?

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

A little known fact about A Capitol Fourth, the PBS aired concert and fireworks coverage live from the steps of the capitol, is that the dress rehersal on July 3 is open to the public. This year, we went down early and ate dinner inside security so that we could save time and get good […]

Keeping Busy and Cooking

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

I’ve been busy the last few days. We’re getting a lot of new people at work, and I’m on a project in addition to doing IT, so I’ve been keeping busy. I’ve also been doing a lot of cooking in the evenings. Tonight, it was my oat fudge bars recipe. We’ll see how they came […]
