Blogger Blog (Mighty):
Initial reports are that Mighty was simply making an effort to connect a FM receiver antenna purchased at Radio Shack last weekend when he contacted the store by telephone (land line) to request technical assistance. Complications arose with [an] apparent miss communication at the start of the conversation. The statement, "I purchased a FM receiver antenna for my FM receiver" was [apparently] received as "I purchased a FM receiver from your store." The store employee who assisted Mighty notes that Mighty was being a difficult customer with an attitude issue who changed his story repeatedly throughout the conversation. The employee hung up on Mighty once, but Mighty persisted with a return call in an effort to resolve the confrontation and find a solution to his technical question. At issue, information regarding the "ohm" rating of the purchased antenna. Mighty indicates that his receiver has two options for antenna hook-up - 75 ohm and 300 ohm. This specification was not written on the product package. The root of the question was resolved and an answer was provided by said salesman. Mighty was unable to thank employee for his time due to prompt hang-up by store person.

Practice setup and closing of new tent camper at the home of Mighty's parents was put on hold for the last two weekends. Reports from the families household was that the brother of Mighty LANDED a job! Family members indicate that brother is now working as a cashier at Wal-mart. Yes, good 'ol Wal-mart. In an interview with the brother, he indicated that working weekends is the rule not the occasional occurrence. So a postponement is planned until the family can have a practice run together. Literature from the tent camper manufacture indicates that the camper is easily setup by one person. The immediate Mighty family say they would like to do it together once so that all can participate in voicing difficulties, opinions and other thoughts of the setup process. "Learn from all not from one" they say. That joint setup was scheduled for this weekend, but at press time, it has been learned that the brother has become ill with the expectation that he will miss a couple of day's of work. Mighty has learned that the sickness mostly likely came from the previous seasonal job he had just started and worked at for one week. Brother has worked this seasonal job for several years and each year became sick just after starting. Once recovered, he was fine for the remaining duration of the seasonal work.

Accomplishments

Tonight's accomplishments: 1) Get the bills ready for the mail tomorrow, 2)) wash the damn dishes (what the hell, I just did them Tuesday and there's already a big pile), 3))) give C. a call in Seattle (no one home, but left a message), 4)))) get the car keychain fixed, 5))))) blog (well, here we are), 6)))))) figure out what the heck I'm going to try to accomplish tomorrow night - on a Friday?

Oh yeah!, RIGHT!, like Friday's are designed to accomplish something - go figure. Perhaps in non-Western society type places.

Mom's got a new tent camper. I pulled it home last weekend. She's got me lined up to come over Saturday to set it up in the driveway. Photo's to come. I'll probably be over there all day Saturday. Sunday is planned. Laundry and get the damn taxes finished.

Went and saw the movie "Wendy and Lucy" at the local Indie theater last night. Really enjoyed it. It is depressing. This movie is a no thrills, no Hollywood budget look at one persons happenings in the moment. No real plot (except that we know where she is headed). Check it out if you can handle a movie that is a snapshot of one weary persons travels.

On the next note, ever feel like you had so much stuff to do at work that you were just not up for doing anything? -ditto

Random

Here's a new photo. I look kind of smashed but really just tired. Been tired all day.

Went to bed a little late last night after going to the gym. Maybe that was it. At 4pm today, I swore the day was over. But alas, two more hours to go. Here's Koi fish from the Botanical Gardens.





Will have to end with the desert. I really like the desert. Mostly because you can see the wide open view. Plus, it's warm in the summer. Oh Yeah. I was surprised this Sunday morning. For some reason, all the morning news magazine type shows on television where talking about Obama's plan and the stock market. I wonder why. My mom had a large sum of money in the stocks as well. She's pulling out and will spend what little remains on a couple of big ticket long term wishes. I know she will enjoy them. I hope though she will be OK financially. She's only going to have SS to hold her up now. Been watching American Idol. OK. Feels like I over ate for supper. I'm sure I'll still be hungry in the morning. Ready for WATCHMAN? It looks like a really good flick. Will have to decide to see it full price or wait for the second run spot. It feels like the day's are just going to waste for some reason. Monday and Wednesday - gym after work, evenings gone. Tuesday and Thursday - come home to some chore, wash dishes or cook. Friday - open. Sat and Sunday - swing something with the family one of those day's.

Enough drab folks, tomorrow's Wednesday!!! Hump day baby! OK, Randy's got me going.
