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!

Lousy stock market! LOL! There must be a whole load of drama queens over there! WATCH IT GUY'S! a cricket just passed gas sideways! SOMETHING BIG might happen!!! LOL!

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!

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!
Later all!
