The things in my head go 'round and 'round

This is my life. You can't have it.

Time for soup

The weather is cooling down. I am so sick of air conditioning that I could absolutely scream. Not that I hate ac, I am just tired of it.

It has been really humid around here lately, what with all of the hurricanes coming up from the gulf pushing tropical air up our heinies. And I am not a fan of humid air, either. Maybe I am whining just a tad here. So what. Anyway, after a nice long day trying not to kill the good people of central pa who are only wanting to buy food for their families, I walk through the nice humid air to The Red Beast, get in and crank the ac.

And that is what I am hating. That cold air hitting my skin, so that I have my arm hairs freezing, and then melting in a continual cycle. That sucks. So now today with the dewpoint at a reasonable level, life was good. Real good.

Life is even going to get better when the temp during the day gets down in the 60’s so that I can start brewing again.

Life is good.

Doing the Ipod Shuffle

I finally did it. I think that I was the last hold out not to be an Ipod. I purchased an Ipod shuffle today for use in my truck going back and forth to where the heck ever it is that I am going.

Earlier this year I had purchased a really nice cd player for The Red Beast so that I would have music other than the crap played on local radio stations. The idea was to burn a billion cd’s and live happily ever after.

That idea crapped out when our computer absolutely refused to burn cd’s. Even though it is supposed to be able to do that. I could have reached out to my friends and begged, and bribed them with Dodd Family Legacy Beers, but that didn’t work out either. So today The Princess and I, yeah she is home from school again after going to the Dr. this morning, went out and did the good consumer thing and spent some cash. Cash that I got from dividends on an insurance policy that I have on myself, and the girls. Sounds like a Monopoly game, doesn’t it?

Moving on.

Now I have this piece of plastic that holds 1 gig of music. I have 145 songs on it now. That is the equivilent of 14 cd’s. Awesome! Of course this means that I am going to be spending time setting up folders with fav songs in them so that I can download them whenever I want to.

Great. Something else to waste time on.

Namaste.
