Well, I got a chance to take a vacation day this week, so its today 
That means 3-day weekend! Woo! So, I’m going to find an inexpensive computer desk and some tractor-feed paper, so I can organize my computer area and get my dot-matrix printer online (yes, dot matrix! I like to read and printing out on an ink jet is waaaaaay too expensive!). That’s the plan, anyhow.
I was putting it off, but I think that I’ll mow the grass one more time, as its a bit shaggy and the kids are slogging around in it. Maybe with a trim, it’ll be the dream play area that they’re looking for. LOL.
My friend, John, has been working on a new website for The Dip to reflect their new renovations and menu. Its a big job and he’s doing it for a reasonable price. If you want any web designing work done, he’s good. Give him a shout.
I finally got the payment from the government that I was waiting on for the last 3 months, so I was able to pay off the power and cable/internet/long distance bill (finally! They were getting antsy!). While I was in the video store paying the bill, I got sucked over to the clearance bin. I couldn’t leave without buying a few DVD’s. There were a few good ones there. I picked up Brokedown Palace for $5.99 and a 2-pack of Die Hard and True Lies for $14.99, so I thought that was a good deal, since I like all three and will watch them again at least twice each before I go to the next mission, so to speak. And, hey. Rogers gave a “free rental” coupon with the 2-pack. How sweet!
That’s enough to chew on for now. 
They have huge bins of dvd’s in the Walmart here, I never buy any because I um let’s see… get my dvd’s through a different source, but I can never resist stopping and digging through. LOL
Dot matrix eh? I wouldn’t mind having one of those again, they’re good for printing out banners.
I got the desk (pics to follow - don’t have a digital so the webcam in the daylight’ll have to do) but the dot matrix still won’t fit on it properly. But the rest of the stuff will. I think that I’ll put that one on its own stand, as I have a really long parallel cable. I want to hook it up so I can print off docs that are on the long side. The ribbon in this unit ($5.99CDN) is good for 3,000,000 characters, according to the box (remember turning them back…or am I too old…):yes
