I went out the back door around 7:40 this morning, there was a large doe and a fawn in my lower back yard! COOL! it took me a minute to see the doe, she watched me back for a secong and then walked away slowly, I stood there for a couple of minutes and then only did I see the fawn, I must have interested that fawn, it stayed for a few minutes after it's mom left. I'm going to find out how much a salt lick and maybe some field corn would cost? I like seeing the deer in my yard! and since I live in town (a BLOCK from the junior high, right off M-21!) there's NO hunting here! so I get to enjoy the deer.
There is a few things I can get done today, I need to drive a vehicle to auto-zone and find out why the check engine light is on (Auto-zone will read the codes for FREE folks!) and I can go from there, the turbo diesel sputters in higher rev's, but runs fine other than that? a sensor out maybe? could be?
The Acer One I've been playing with now has a name! JUNIOR! LOL! he's just a little fella! no new mod's there, haven't had time to mess with it? I will admit that upgrading the hard drive to a 7200Rpm, 16Mb. drive is on my mind......it would provide a NICE performance boost. The though of upgrading the CPU is nice, HOWEVER this netbook has the CPU soldered right to the mother board, so that is a no-go.
I guess I should head off for now, coffee, dishes and balancing my checkbook are in the near future for me.
Later!
OK! so it is LATER!! I once again spent the day being OC on the house and yard, I did a load of laundry, raked the upeer back yard to the base of the hill, mowed it then furtalized the front and upper yards, THEN I borrowed a power washer and power washed the car and truck and MOST of the house (I ran out of garden hose and could not reach the rest!) I also washed the window in the room that is attached to the back of the house, that way I can see the deer better tomorrow morning if they decide to visit my yard.
My 89 year old neighbor passed away recently and her daughters are taking care of things, it is amazing how trusting people can still be these day's? one of them let me keep the power washer in my house to make sure that it does not freeze on a cold night, this is a nice washer? and they barely know me? I guess the world might be better than I thought? COOL!
I am GLAD it was such a NICE day! I was able to get plenty done, the list grows smaller each day!
Tomorrow promisses to be an interesting day, my brother has asked me to help install a furnace for him, while I have never installed one I will make the attempt, HEY! I might succeed!
OK, this time I am off for the night! REALLY I AM!!
Have a GREAT one!!!!
"I CAN" man!!
O.C. over the moon
With all the spare time I have now I am letting myself go back to being WAY O.C.! the house, the yard, the outside of the house! GAK! LOL!

Runnin 'round
While I haven't been out 'n about lately I have PLENTY here to get done, it was another "drag out the trash day! LOL
The house is starting to look OK? the hidden mess's in the house are dissapearing steadily, the house is becoming home again.
I haven't seen the deer in my back yard in a couple of day's now, we'll probably scare the SNOT out of each other again! LOL!
It is supposed to be a nice day today, plenty to get done! oil changes, fuel filters....who knows what else the day will bring?
I should head off for now, a second cup of coffee is calling me!
Later!

Heat, doe's and the Acer One
I stepped outside early today and scared the living daylight's out of three doe's and a fawn that were snacking in my backyard, I had seen a doe in my yard a few weeks ago, but didn't think there would be that many! WOW! and yes! they scared me just as much as I did them, I had no idea they were even there till they took off.
I also realize how grateful I am for heat, at 7:30 it was only 27 out, and it was COLD! the house is only at 60 for now, I will need to turn it up in the coming weeks, but for now 60 is just fine, the sun warms the place up if I open the curtains up, wish I had a solar heater, I'd save some BIG bucks on heating cost's then.
Week three and I am still cleaning around the house, the place is really taking shape? The list I had is getting smaller and smaller now, the little "messes" that I had missed or overlooked for so long quickly disappearing and clean replacing them.
Two closets , the back room, the bookshelves in the front room, cleaning in the bathroom, the backyard, clean out the gutters on the house, and the BIGGIE!! clean out the storage room attached to the back of the house! GAK! there is a FEW hours of work there! mostly getting it straight, only a little junk needs to be picked up there.
That Acer One that I was playing with the other day, I thought of another mod that could be done to it! upgrade the speakers! the one's that came with it REALLY could use some help! I don't expect it to sound like a home stereo, but CRIMANY! they don't sound very good at all! time to think about that one!
1. Upgrade speakers
2. Install blue tooth
3. Install a 3G card
4. Upgrade the ram (DONE!)
5. Upgrade the hard drive to a 160Gb. 7200Rpm. 16Mb. cache drive (A BIG performance increase!)
6. Install a touch screen onto the LCD
7. ANY other cool mods I can find
There could be a BUNCH of mods for this netbook, just need to research and find them, that would give me something to do after all.
Wednesday and Thursday we are supposed to hit 60, one of those day's I have an ALL day project waiting for me, not here at the house, but an all day project just the same. I can use the projects right now, and as I've said, I have PLENTY of free time right now.
Have a great one all!

Acer one ram upgrade
The Acer One!
Keyboard removed
Palmrest removed
Mother board, HDD, Daughter board removed
The underside of the mother board, and the hidden ram slot 
The pictures belong to tnkgrl, that is where I found the GREAT instructions on how to tear this one down. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tnkgrl/
I talked quickly yesterday about tearing apart a perfectly good netbook, it was the only way to upgrade the ram in the system. You literally have to remove the Motherboard to install the ram module into its hidden socket, no bottom access.
This is as I said a "Netbook" no optical drive installed, it is not a replacement for a laptop or desktop computer, it is made for portability.
While looking for more information on this little netbook, I discovered there is quite the "moder" following with the Acer One's, blue tooth, touch screen, SSD to Pata mini-drive, SATA H.D. upgrades, 3G, Keyboard lights, lights shining on the keyboard.... CRIMANY! LOTS to look at with this little netbook.
There are some REALLY cool mods out there! got to keep an eye out for them!
Later all!

Going for a ride
I went with my brother to pick up a furnace today, a little older, but it seems to be in good condition. Not sure if I can install this one or not, looking into it though.
So there's not much going on here really, time to relaxe for a bit I guess. I'm trying to stay busy until there is some confirmation on what will happen in the next couple of months, something soon I hope, setting around BITES.
The weather seems a bit fickle lately, a few warm day's would be enjoyed, MANY things could be done in only a couple of 60 degreee day's.
Later for now, I'm tearing a new toy apart...REALLY! and NOTHING is wrong with it! LOL! (you'd have to know me)

Yes! I do windows
I cleaned all the windows in the house today, inside and out! Next time I will be sure to use a NON-streaking formula! GAK! I ended up doing one set of windows out front like four times before I got rid of MOST of the streaks! YEESH!
I still haven't finished updating my resume, it looks WAY better than before, but needs improvment. The cover letter will come next, seems like that may end up being quite a chore according to what I am seeing? No time like the present though, SO! Off I go!
I attempted to repair an old laptop yesterdaqy also, I thought the LCD cover that was here would work just fine, SEE what I get for thinking! turns out the LCD cover was for a 12" LCD not the 14" that I needed.......AH WELL.....I'll find one!
Speaking of laptops! the Acer 5100 that I have came with an AMD TL-52, 2Gb. of ram and a 160Gb. 5400Rpm. 8Mb. cash hard drive. I have been looking at upgrading the Acer to: AMD TL-64, 4Gb. of ram and a 320GB. 7200Rpm. 16Mb. cache hard drive (the 4Gb. of ram is there already) what would this do for me? WELL! I would go from 1600X2 to 2200X2 processor speed, double the installed ram, ad that 7200Rpm. 16Mb. hard drive and all together that would give me desktop performance in a laptop! I'd be getting speeding tickets on the internet! COOL!
Can't do the processor now though, those STUPID things are EXPENSIVE yet! with no job I can't put that kind of money out, the hard drive though might be an option, it is a very reasonable price and reasonable rules for now.
So I was working in the yard today trimming my bushed down and what did I find you ask? FIVE trees growing in them! they grew up 10 feet in one NIGHT! I know they weren't there yesterday! LOL! I spent about 6 hours on the front yard today, there is PLENTY to do around here for sure, and I'm up to the challenge!
I reclaimed the sidewalk yesterday, today I reclaimed the curb, the grass had grown nearly over both? go figure! I want grass to grow in the lawn and where does it grow best you ask? on the CONCRETE! YEESH!
So much more to get accomplished yet. good thing I have the time to get it done!
Have a GREAT one everyone!

Still TRYING to stay busy!
I am still trying to stay busy, finding thing's to do and thing's that need to get done. I repalced a stabilizer rod and did a brake job on a minivan yesterday, wouldn't you know it, as soon as I removed the tire it started to rain lightly! HA! figures! That did not stop me though! I finished the job I started!
I managed to pay off the Stratus today, I could not have done that without the help of God, even with losing my job to the economy, things have so far went well believe it or not, I do have my rough day's (YESTERDAY!) but I get over them and trudge on through life.
Phi. 4:13 I can do all thing's with Christ who is in me........more than just a Bible verse folk's, it is a way to live life
No big projects to get done today, vacuume the house, do the dishes, make the bed, do a load of laundry, pick up the house...the norm now here at my home.
Oh yes! I can't forget "Get a cup of coffee!"
Have a great one everybody!

10 day's
So it's been ten day's now and believe it or now I am actualy doing well? go figure? it is one of three things for sure!
1. I trust that God will provide for me.
2. I am numb and live in the state of denial
3. I am too STUPID to figure it out.
I spent the week staying busy, it keeps my mind off not having a job now. I posted some of what I've been up to already.
1. A MAJOR house cleaning, not even CLOSE to being done
2. Detailed my car
3. Working on a computer
4. Put a started in a truck
5. Working on a resume
6. Working on a cover letter
7. Scouring the internet for information
8. Fixed a broken seat in a van
9. Steam cleaned my parents carpets
So even though I've been busy there is PLENTY to do yet! I haven't even touched the yard yet and I'm sure there's work there also.
My house wasn't trashed or wasted in any way, I just have a habbit of collecting clutter and at the moment I'm getting rid of that clutter.
I have a couple of parts that need to be installed on the bravada yet also, an idler arm and a fuel filter, get the cover letter written, continue to update my resume, more cleaning in my home........YUP! PLENTY to get done yet, and I NOW have the time.
My priority this week will be finishing my resume and creating a cover letter, I need to get this done for sure. I've never written a cover letter before, but for some reason it is important, SO! it's getting done.
Later for now!

Saturday
So it is once again Saturday! I am going to take the weekend of from cleaning! I didn't believe that I could find so much to to in the house, but I have! and there is MORE! EEP! LOL! I have been in the house now for 13 years, I am finding there are spots in the house that I haven't touched in YEARS! NO kidding! I've been fighting ninja dust bunnies for day's now! LOL! Time for the weekend.
I am at the moment also searching the internet for information that will let me gain more knowledge on the Microsoft office system, in the last 10 month's I have already increased my knowledge exponentionaly, but there is PLENTY more that I need to learn so that I will be more effective in my next position. The internet is the place to start, you can find anything you want there.

Michworks
I spent an hour or so at Michworks today inputing my resume into the system, I did not think ahead and bring my resume with me so I will need to access the system later to update the information.
I do not believe that there will be any companies looking for the position that i had held until recently, the job market is horrible at the moment! I hope something comes my way soon though, or I will go stir crazy cooped up in this house! LOL!
As I said before, there is only so much cleaning that can be done to a house, while I have mor eto do I will run out soon, I could get some painting done? I have the paint already and now the time also? HMMMmm.... that could work?
I should take the coupe out for a ride along with my camera, some fall pictures would be nice, and it would give me something to do also.
Later for now Y'all!

A cleaning FREAK!!
It seems I am turning into a cleaning FREAK! no kidding! I steam cleaned the frontroom, both bedrooms and the bathroon yesterday, then did the kitchen/dining room early this morning, THEN took the steam cleaner over to Mom's and did her front room and dining room also! After I dropped off the cleaner I went home and mopped my laundry room and back entry, the place is starting to look really nice! I can deal with that!
One of the projects I wanted to do this year that I WON'T be able to get sone was installing a solar heating panel, maybe next year! I'd love to be able to heat the house like that! or at least reduce my heating cost's.
Speaking of heating, I'll be turning on the heat tonight, I have the house open so the carpets will dry and it is getting rather cool in here now! TOO cool as a matter of fact! I wish it was as nice as it look's outside at the moment! the sun is shining brightly! MORE sunshine PLEASE!
I have NO idea what I want for dinner tonight? Guess I'll see when I get there?
Later for now!

Still cleaning!
Yeah, I am still lceaning the house up! It is like I was in some type of coma or something? I have been cleaning the house for the last three day' s now and there is more to do yet! GAK! sooner or later I will need to take a short break from it.
My day consisted of getting trash tag's, trash bag's, renting a steam cleaner, getting the cleaning supplies I needed and then cleaning the carpets in the house. What a difference there is in the carpet! CRIMANY! talk about cleaner! YEESH! so yep! the house is looking mUCH better now!
I'm thinking that next week I may start on the outside of the house, I'm sure if I take a good enough look I will find a TON of things that need to be done, YUP! sprong cleaning in the fall! LOL!
The main reason I'm staying so busy is that I don't think about losing my job then, yeah, I will need to be busy for a while now.
Time for me to head off once again, I want to go through a closet to see if there is anything I can get rid of!
Later all!

Staying busy and the dow.
Day four of not having a job, I decided that instead of setting around on my bottom I would make an attempt to stay busy. Saturday I detailed my stratus, wash wax, vacuum and steam clean the interior, that took me a while to get accomplished, it was dirtier than it looked.
Sunday I made a quick repair on the Church van, the passenger seat backrest is broke so it will not stay in one position, it only took about ten minutes and a bolt to take care of that.
Monday I started in on the house:
The vacuum needed repaired (new belt) then I vacuumed the whole house,
Washed the dishes,
Cleaned the counters, the stove and the sink,
Did a load of laundry,
Picked up the front room, kitchen and bedroom,
Went through my dirty old stained work clothes and threw them out (Round two, the closets are next!)
Then I went to the store:
Bought two new pillows, (For $5 at Walmart you can get a 100% cotton pillow!! and it IS firm!)
Two new $5 phone (my old one broke, and I didn't have one in the bedroom)
New reflector pans for my electric stove (The other one's were getting rusty BAD!)
and picked up a few other very needed things.
I also stopped at the local auto parts store and picked up a new fuel filter for the Bravada, it's kinda running funny, and that is the one part I had NOT replaced.
Now to the Dow!!!! HOLY MOLY BATMAN!!!!!!!!!! did anyone else see how much the Dow went UP? +936.42!! YES!! I can deal with that!!!! and GAS went down to $2.99!!! I may have been let go, but at least SOME good things are happening!!!!
The Dow went up 11% in ONE day! a few more trading day's like this and I will truly be a happy camper!
What to do today? I need to stop off at the old plant to ask a couple of questions, then file for unemployment, then update my resume, then more house work (my new O.C. thing) then install a starter in a truck (been trying to do that for over a week) then who knows what?
Like I said, my house is my new O.C. there is PLENTY around here to do! like...
Steam clean ALL the carpets
Pull all the books off my bookshelf and clean and paint it
Clean the "computer room" (spare bedroom)
Paint the front room
Paint the bedroom (after putting in a new closet door)
Paint all the trim
Paint the bathroom
Clean and straighten the laundry room and paint it
Get two new shades for the two lamps in the front room
Clean out the five closets in my house
Clean out the backroom, it needs it in a BIG way!
There are SO many things I can get done right now, and for now I have the time to get them done.
You would NOT think that i would be SO busy not having a job? not true! I have time now to look and see what things around the house need to get done, LOTS to get done!
Later all!

Sunday I made a quick repair on the Church van, the passenger seat backrest is broke so it will not stay in one position, it only took about ten minutes and a bolt to take care of that.
Monday I started in on the house:
The vacuum needed repaired (new belt) then I vacuumed the whole house,
Washed the dishes,
Cleaned the counters, the stove and the sink,
Did a load of laundry,
Picked up the front room, kitchen and bedroom,
Went through my dirty old stained work clothes and threw them out (Round two, the closets are next!)
Then I went to the store:
Bought two new pillows, (For $5 at Walmart you can get a 100% cotton pillow!! and it IS firm!)
Two new $5 phone (my old one broke, and I didn't have one in the bedroom)
New reflector pans for my electric stove (The other one's were getting rusty BAD!)
and picked up a few other very needed things.
I also stopped at the local auto parts store and picked up a new fuel filter for the Bravada, it's kinda running funny, and that is the one part I had NOT replaced.
Now to the Dow!!!! HOLY MOLY BATMAN!!!!!!!!!! did anyone else see how much the Dow went UP? +936.42!! YES!! I can deal with that!!!! and GAS went down to $2.99!!! I may have been let go, but at least SOME good things are happening!!!!
The Dow went up 11% in ONE day! a few more trading day's like this and I will truly be a happy camper!
What to do today? I need to stop off at the old plant to ask a couple of questions, then file for unemployment, then update my resume, then more house work (my new O.C. thing) then install a starter in a truck (been trying to do that for over a week) then who knows what?
Like I said, my house is my new O.C. there is PLENTY around here to do! like...
Steam clean ALL the carpets
Pull all the books off my bookshelf and clean and paint it
Clean the "computer room" (spare bedroom)
Paint the front room
Paint the bedroom (after putting in a new closet door)
Paint all the trim
Paint the bathroom
Clean and straighten the laundry room and paint it
Get two new shades for the two lamps in the front room
Clean out the five closets in my house
Clean out the backroom, it needs it in a BIG way!

Still here
I'm hoping to find another job here in town very soon, I don't like having time off and no job is NO fun.
There are a couple of options that I may have, I just need to find out what they are.
I guess I'll see!
With the spare time I have now I am going through the house and cleaning the heck out of it! I was working 11 hours a day and had missed a WHOLE lot around the house, time to clean it up!
Time to head off for now.
Later all!

Last day at work
Today was my last day at work, I had NO idea this was coming, not until it was over anyhow! 16 years, 4 month's and 10 day's........................a big thankyou to those who are ruining our country and economy, I am the latest victim of your greed.
I will be able to come back IF they need me, they will NOT need me in the time frame that I can return. What can I say, this is NOT God's fault, God does not walk away from us, WE walk away from God, that is a fact.
What is it that will keep me going? look below!
Psa 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I should head off for now, NOTHING to do, just need to rest my mind.
Later all!

Sumer is officially over
Yes, it is official, summer is over! I finished putting the trailer up this weekend, while it does need to be cleaned some yet, it looks great for the most part.
I am a bit torn this year, one part of me is not ready to put the trailer up and the other is? go figure? With the extra time I had this weekend I cleaned the house up some, the place looks kind of nice? HUH?
One of the campers at the lake has some real talent, I don't know what his name is but this guy can take a chain saw and carve some really cool things with it! he carved a bear holding a sign, and owl and three bears standing on each others shoulders, all very cool!
I still need to get a picture of the bears standing on each others shoulders, that one was being completed this weekend.
So what will the project for the winter season be? I have NO idea! I had messed around with a couple of different Linux programs, but was dissatisfied with them, they weren't complete and compatibility was an issue. Maybe build a new desktop? nah, can't justify the money to do it. SO! I have NO idea what I will do this winter? other than repaint the inside of the house? THAT might be the project I'm looking for!
I guess I should head off for now, coffee's calling me!
Later all!

The clone wars!
I fought the clone wars and I WON! LOL!
I managed to clone the hard drive in my laptop yesterday, I installed the drive today and it worked like a charm, no problems at all! SWEET!
I also cloned my sisters hard drive and installed a 120Gb. drive into it, THAT one however did not go without issues. After the cloning process was finished I installed it and fired the laptop up and ran the operating system, I changed the drive letter without re-booting which TOTALY freaked the laptop out and crashed the drive, so I had to clone it again! DOH! the second time however went MUCH better! it is up and running like a charm! Acronis migrate easy 7.0 is the software, not bad at all!
