Well today was a good day. Supper was pork chops and a salad. I finished off White Fang last night. It was a really good book, and I need to find a new one to read next. I am thinking about 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne.

The weather was pretty nice today and tomorrow will be 53 and sunny. I didn’t get a chance to play with the Slash today though I am still addicted to Fallout 3! I love just running around looting stuff and killing the crappy raiders but I love when I find some Enclave.

Well we went for some pellets today and brought home a ton. I will be fixing my iPaq soon as I fixed the button issues I think. Played with my Slash and Mini T a bit today. Supper was chicken picata with rice. I love that stuff.

It was nice today and tomorrow will be 53. I need to see why the scope keeps getting kicked over to the left. That is kind of annoying but least all I need to do is click it over a few clicks and its good again. I need to find rings got the 3-9×40 I have.

Well I decided to redo the Clie NX70 today. I did a hard reset and I am adding programs I use to it now. I have been thinking more about it, and want to use it more. I will have something new soon, probably sometime next week. I will post it when I get it.

Weather was nice today and supper was beef stew, with sauce. It will be 59 and cloudy tomorrow. I made 20 bucks doing the grass next door for the leaves. I played with my Mini T today a bit more. I need to get a better radio soon, I want a 2.4GHZ one.

Well, I had some fun with my RC cars today. I ran a battery in the Mini T and the Slash. I was using my plastic jump and that made for a lot of fun. The Slash must have jumped a good 10 feet too, when I launched off at full speed.

Today was warm, and tomorrow will be 68! That is warm! I had pork roast today and potato salad. I want to practice more with pellet gun since it will be warm. I want to teach my friends sister how to shoot to.

Well, I am on a sort of small car trip. We are going to moms friends, about an hour away. I am writing this on my Visor since I really do not give my old stuff much use really. This is also because I really like this one. It may be old, but it works great still. Sure it may be OS 3, but it gets good battery life on the NIMH AAA batteries!

So I have been looking at a new CO2 BB gun. More specifically the Crosman 1088 at Walmart for $53. I am going to look into it before I decide to just buy something. My last one (Daisy Powerine 15XT) is leaking pretty bad. I don’t want to make the same mistake by getting a crappy one again. The main reason I want a new one is because I have gas and BBs left. You can’t use BBs in a break barrel. The Crosman pistol also does pellets and has a rifled barrel.

I have been slowly reading White Fang. I am liking it but just haven’t been reading much. This is why I love the Visor so much. It makes such a great reader. The screen is nice at night, especially because of the whole inverted back light. You don’t get blinded!

Not to mention how long the batteries last. They would probably last longer with alkaline though. NIMH drain differently, so they sort of bounce around, like when you turn it off for awhile. The thing is, I charge mine when I turn it on and its around, or below, 40% or so. I probably could keep going, but why bother. I have a neat battery hack, that displays how much is left.

One of the things I want to do is keep 2 alkaline with me in case they get low, but I don’t have a case really, just the slip case. The thing is finding one now. I miss the days of cases being universal. I used to have a very nice Sony pouch case but the zipper broke. You needed a belt though as it had a soft loop.

Weather wasn’t too bad today, and tomorrow will be 63 and sunny. The best part is that I have no grass to mow! I really hope we get snow soon so I make money again. I am pretty much done with the leaves as well.

Well not much really happened today. Kind of cold out though. Tomorrow will be 53. I played more Fallout 3 today. I have a lot of stuff found. I am mostly just roaming around now finding and selling what I find and don’t want…

Supper today was fried meat balls, which came out really good. I have been thinking about those old PDAS I got, and I personally I love the Visor. The SL10 is better but its not the same for me. The screen is darker and smaller, but higher resolution and 16 gray.

Well today was chilly and rained a bit. It will be 43 and partly cloudy tomorrow as well. I am still playing Fallout 3 and learning C++ as well. I had chicken fingers and French fries today for supper. I want to get some new shocks for my Slash as well.

I have been thinking of fixing that old iPaq but I don’t want to spend 65 bucks on it right now. Maybe a better idea to track down a new PDA somewhere. Least it would last longer and be faster. I don’t know if I want a Windows one though.

Well didn’t get to shot today since the 50 yard lanes were in use. I did get 6 boxes of 9MM ammunition though so we have 500 rounds to use now. I figure might as well pick up what ever we can find before its all gone!

Supper today was very good steak and sweet potatoes. It was a little chilly today but I ran 2 batteries on the Slash. The bag thing is I popped a shock cap again. I need to look into better shocks for this thing! It will be 47 with PM rain tomorrow.

Well today was fun. Made another 20 bucks doing leaves! This time I played with the leaf blower too! That thing works great too, and really mulches them up nice and fine. I will get to go to the shooting range tomorrow too!

Supper was pasta, and weather was nice and tomorrow will be a chilly 48! We are going in the morning so I will probably freeze! I am thinking of getting some 30-06 ammunition if Walmart has any. Its supposed to be cheaper there.

Well I am using the Averatec more now. I figure I might as well since I won’t be getting a netbook anytime soon! I want to though because of the better battery life. Oh well who knows, maybe I will get one yet! I really want a EEE PC or the Toshiba one.

Supper today was chicken Kiev, sort of like the chicken cordon blue we get. Weather was chilly and tomorrow will be 51 and sunny. I made 20 bucks today too as well for cutting the grass to pick up the leaves next door. I won’t be making much now unless it snows.
