Saturday around the House

Beth and I got up early this morning after a late night showing of “Bottle Rocket” in Nick and Betsy’s backyard. We worked for a few hours in the yard before it got too hot.  We were able to clean up a little  and shovel about 15 wheelbarrows full of rock out to the side yard.  I also made a trip to Home Depot and got new pads for our swamp cooler.  We’re still looking at upgrading to AC but its pricey so we’re trying to figure out the best plan.  I took Walcott to Home Depot (which he loves) and although they technically have a rule against it, the store employees all really love the dogs that come in.  I then ran through Chick-fil-a and picked up a free lunch we received that last time we went there.  It seems we are always getting free Chick-fil-a items (which I won’t complain about).  Also, since I went through the drive-thru with Walcott they gave him his helping of chicken nuggets as well.  For those of you who don’t know about this… Chick-fil-a will refrigerate some of the chicken tenders that have been out for a while and give them to dogs in the drive-thru.  Walcott seems to know when we get to Chick-fil-a and always perks up.  Beth and I then took a trip up to the Mac Store to get her computer checked out and stopped at AJ’s for a drink where I got an awesome ginger beer by Ginger People.

ginger_people-logoI have been kind of obsessed with ginger lately so it was great.  On the way home we swung by the new REI that just opened a few weeks ago.  I love that store and could probably spend a ton of money.  I picked up some toe clips for my new bike (the replacement for the stolen one).  We’re now looking forward to a salad and a nice relaxing night at home.

  6. Thanks , I’ve just been looking for information about this topic for ages and yours is the best I’ve discovered till now. But, what about the bottom line? Are you sure about the source?

  9. We’re a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community. Your weblog supplied us important information to function on. You have done a marvellous job!

  12. Thanks for all of your efforts on this site. Kim really loves carrying out investigations and it’s obvious why.

Enjoy the rest of the new year. You have been conducting a splendid job.

  15. A lot of thanks for each of your effort on this website. Gloria take interest in engaging in investigation and it’s really easy to see why. All of us hear all about the compelling mode you deliver invaluable techniques by means of this blog and as well recommend participation from other individuals on the issue so our own daughter is without question becoming educated a lot. Take advantage of the remaining portion of the new year. You’re the one carrying out a dazzling job.

  16. Does your website have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.

  17. Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!

  20. I precisely wanted to say thanks all over again. I do not know the things that I could possibly have worked on in the absence of the entire points shown by you on such a situation. Entirely was a troublesome dilemma in my opinion, nevertheless being able to view the very specialised tactic you solved it made me to cry over happiness. Now i am happier for this advice and even expect you recognize what a great job you have been carrying out training others via your websites. I am sure you have never encountered any of us.

  21. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  24. I don’t agree with everything said here- what about the alternate view? @ author- present the other side as well, that is necessary…and @ last poster- LOL.

  25. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  26. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  27. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  28. Thank you for an additional fantastic blog. Where else could one get that sort of information written in such a perfect way? I have a presentation that i am presently working on, and i have been looking for such info instead.

  30. Hi! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!

  31. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  32. I am just writing to let you understand of the impressive encounter my cousin’s girl gained viewing your blog.
