Ax men

I’ve been watching the television show series Ax men on the History channel lately.  I ask my wife to tape it for me and then I watch the tape later on during the week when I have time.  Sometimes I forget to ask her to tape it for me, and then I get angry at her for not remembering to tape it!  I forget that she is juggling a lot of things and expect her to remember every single detail of what I want.  So then I get mad at myself for getting mad at her!  Oh well, she is a forgiving woman!  Fortunately I’ve found that the show is on several times every week so if I forget to ask her to tape it I can usually watch it again later on anyway.  So it’s all good.

Going out to eat tonight

My wife and I love to eat dinner at restaurant at The Senator Inn in Augusta.  There is a good salad bar that I like to eat a lot of salad from, and they have a really good seafood alfredo dinner that my wife and I both LOVE.  They also have some good steaks.  The inside of the restaurant is really fancy, so we like to dress up in our “good” clothes to try to make the night special.  Unfortunately there are usually a lot of people who show up there straight from their job at the farm, wearing their tattered jeans and flannel shirts or t-shirts with rude sayings on them and not even enough class to take off their baseball caps covered with grass clippings when they sit at the table.  We try not to look at those people and try to enjoy our meal regardless of the low class folks that wander in from time to time.  I think that this restaurant is classy enough that they should have a dress code for dinner - like shirts with collars, sports coat and tie.

Anyway, the food is good, and we enjoy eating there when we can!

Power outage

Well, CMP has goofed up again!  There was widespread power outages in Belgrade and Rome earlier today.  Seems that they were scheduled at midnight to swap out a transformer; a process that should have only taken 5 or 6 hours.  The new transformer blew and they had to find a new one, which took several hours.  All in all, 11,000 people were without electricity from midnight Friday night until around noon on Saturday.

I’m really glad that we have an auto-start back-up generator for when we lose electricity!  I would be very ugly to be without power that long!  I love my electricity!

I love DisneyWorld

I want to go to DisneyWorld!  I’ve only been there twice.  By twice, I mean two separate vacations.  During the vacations I went to DisneyWorld a couple of times.

I could not see everything I wanted to see in the short period of time I was there.  I’d like to go again and spend a whole month!
