Welcome to my blog...Like every other blog out there, this is where I tell the world about what interests me at any current moment. What's different is that I have a pretty eclectic collection of hobbies and interests. Or my attention wanders a lot...Anyways, Enjoy!
Oh yeah, don't expect to see anything about friends, family, or work...Those will just get me in trouble :P

New job, I'm landscaping, so soon I'll be buff (I hope). I also have a tan, but for some reason it's rather redish in color :P Anyways, expect a slow down in posts as work picks up. Here is a beta version of my boolean expression calculator. It works more often than not.

Sorry for the delay, camping and then rejection byt he server. Anyways, I did have a rant, but it losses its force after that apology. UPS really pisses me off, I hate shipping through them, today is just another example. I phone their number and get: 'go to our website to schedule an alternate delivery'...Ok I go there and get: 'we can not do that, please call our office'...I call back and start hitting 0 and and asking for an agent: 'we are not open, blah, blah, blah. Go to the website.'...Go to hell assholes...I did learn a few things, you can only reschedule drop offs during business hours, they only deliver during business hours, you can not reschedule a delivery for the same day one is trying to be made. Once more, I hate UPS.

So I bought this Schnieders individual shepards pies for a dinner thinking 'hey, its on sale, and looks alright', and it did. The box was about 6x4x1 inches which is the size of a decent hot lunch, so I bought it. FAIL! I opened the bod to find a plastic tray holding my pie. Not only is there a good 1/2 inch of rim on all sides, it's an oval! Even worse was the fact that it was 3/8\" potatoe and 1/8\" 'meat' (more like gravy with a tid bit of hamberger tossed in). It was a waste!!! So boo on Schnieders.

E-Vent! Ran the campfire, it *almost* went to plan...but I covered beautifully. Also changed my summer tires out, and wrote about it.

Happy October! Venturers did Great Escape, I did first aid...Nothing too nifty, just a couple twisted ankles and barbwire wounds. I experimented with 3 recipes this weekend, DO NOT REHYDRATED POWDERED EGGS BEFORE COOKING!!! It turns to soup, and doesn't cook worth CRAP! After learning that everything else worked great.
