House Hunting

I've been pretty quiet lately on the net. I've had to be, my wife and I have been house hunting. 19 years of living in the same mobile home has finally worn thin, and it's time to move into a real house. This process can take awhile, but we've gotten to the point of making our first offer on a home. Hopefully by early next week I'll know something, and hopefully it will be good news. We found a really nice two bedroom home that would fit us perfectly. So wish us luck and maybe I'll be announcing our moving plans here soon!

Tired of being sick...

I came down with some sort of flu about a week ago, and I'm still not feeling right. I've missed 3 days of work and can't miss anymore, so I'll be going to work tomorrow whether I feel like it or not. I pity anyone who has to come into contact with me in case I'm still infectious. My wife has been sick with it also for most of that time. My son has lucked out and not gotten it, but somehow we infected his girlfriend...I feel bad about that 8^(

I don't know if it's the swine flu or not, but I'm still not going to see a doctor. I'd rather my body fight it and build up a natural resistance. That's the problem today, too many people fall for the line that they've got to get immunized for protection, that's why so many viruses and other "bad" things are becoming drug-resistant. Our bodies own defenses are the best immunity we have, and unfortunately it's got to be "tested" every once in awhile or it can't put up a good enough fight!

Now, I'm not saying there isn't a need for immunizations, there is. The young and the old in particular need help with their bodies defenses. Your average, generally healthy person though doesn't really need immunization boosters, GOD and evolution has given our bodies the ability to develop immunity on our own.

My Fathers Day Gift

I've had this recliner on layaway for about a month and a half, and my loving wife has helped me get it out today so that I could enjoy it come Father's Day! It's really comfy and I may never get out of it!

Buried Treasure - Part II

Well, turns out unfortunately that the vintage VHS camcorder that was found at work wasn't in working order. At least the battery/battery charger didn't work, so hence, no working camera either. We were sorely disappointed. I wasn't able to get the VHS tape out of the camera either, although I haven't been willing yet to break the camera o get it out. Maybe I'll go that far this weekend. After all, I wouldn't be willing to pay a penny for this thing even if it did work! Updates on what's on the tape when I find out myself...

Buried Treasure - A blast from the past

A co-worker found this "ancient" camera at work today. Apparently, someone threw it into a dumpster there, and someone had dug it out thinking it might be something worth keeping. They then "rightly" decided it wasn't and threw it on the ground where he later found it. In it's day, it actually probably was a quite expensive and nice video camera. It has a I.D. plate on the bottom of it that dates it's manufacture to October of 1987! And yes, it is a full size VHS camcorder, the kind that uses VHS tapes! It's a complete kit, a gorilla case with foam inserts, camera, battery, cables, and editing dock etc.
We've got it all layed out on this table in the shop letting it dry out, as it had been raining and everything was soaked. When it's dried out, we're going to try charging the battery and see if it works. It does have a tape in the drive and we're curious to see what might be on it. I'll report back on what results we get if any in a couple of days.
