| 06:16 pm - They're trying at least.
Oooooo, Phillies are making a game of it anyway. They're trailing 4-3 now, but with Rollins on third now and one out. Just need a long ball to tie it up.
Whoops. Strike out makes it two outs. Now the Phils need a base hit.
Double switch for the Blue Jays, so we'll see what gives.

Shees. Even though we were available yesterday, had to wait till this morning for a load to become ready. But at least it's good miles, over 2600 down to GA.
Gah, tried to pry open the Compaq last night to change out the display hinges, but there's this onnnnnne spot that's holding up the whole show, and I can't figure out how the fuck to work it. It's not a hidden screw as far as I can tell. I took out every screw I could find as well. Even the diagrams didn't help! So I just put everything back together for the moment, till I have some time again.

Is it a requirement that all baristas in a shack in the NW US be female and too cute for their own good?
Took a trip with the brother and sister in law down to Sea Lion Caves, and in Rickereal we stopped at aforementioned shack. Our server was blonde, female, and like I said, too cute for her own good.
Went with a 16 ounce Caramel Silk (Caramel and white chocolate). On the sweet side, but not bad overall.
Then there's that one up in Sumner, WA at the cardlock station across from the JC Penney lot. Same deal, and there's two of 'em this time! My my.

Oh, my mate can be the source of much entertainment sometimes.
In regards to cheesecake pudding, here's what she said.
"I wonder what it will taste like."
Of course, the fact that I'd just finished 22 ounces of stout probably helped matters. Still funny.
But boo, leaving again tomorrow. Ffffffft to that. But this time I AM bringing my bass along.
Was inspired last night by the viewing of the DVD "August Rush". Really made me want to get up and move my fingers along the fretboard, something I hadn't done since I moved! The string on Morgana were still loosened to prevent neck warpage, and now she's pretty much tuned up again, and ready to go. And go she shall!

Just HAD to go and down three bottles last night, didn't you? Lucky you have the constitution of an ox, and so such binges don't affect you the next morning. Lack of sleep does though. Meh.
Now get off thine divine duff and actually get some work accomplished. Thee back yard's a mess, and so is inside for that matter, though admittedly gray clouds overhead are not helping. So then just get thee to a Seven Eleven for your morning soda pop. At least you'll be out of this chair then eh? You've got inlaws arriving this evening! Move it buster!
Go Flyers.
Go Phillies.
Go Padres.(poor blighters, stuck in the basement of the NL West)
Go Portland Beavers, regardless of record.

The only bright spot is I got to listen to the Portland Beavers last night, and they won, so it wasn't a total bummer of a night.
Now it's game 1 of the latest round of the playoffs for the Flyers. Let's tune in shall we?
And, as you can tell from my location, I'm finally home for a few days. And there was much rejoicing.(Yay...)
EDIT: Whoops, Flyers lost 4-2. Boo! But then, that's how the last series started as well.

 | 05:03 pm - Temple Description
One of the things that I've wanted to do once I hit the lottery or gained enough funds somehow would be to build a temple to the goddesses Nebt-Het and Renenet, since they were the two that said they'd help me out with it.
So far, the lottery hasn't come through, which I'm finding irritating. But one thing I can do in the meantime is to try and build the temple in my mind at least, describe it as best I can in words. So here goes.
At a distance, the first things I see are multicolored lotus columns, painted mostly white, but with the tops of green and red, and sandy yellow at the bases.
The temple would be rectangular, twice as long as it is wide, and perhaps twenty feet tall to try and convey the awesomeness of the work undertaken within. Half of the temple would have a roof, and the other half might be more a courtyard, meant more for public rites and offerings. I see a large pool of water to one side of the courtyard, where those who wish may ritually bathe. The other half would be simply flat floor, where gathering could take place, or with a brazier in the center should such a thing be needed.
I'm wondering whether the other half should indeed have a roof or not. Small, intimate rites might be nice below the stars and other celestial bodies. Then again, perhaps these should just take place in the uncovered half.
A covered half would work nicely for rites that require total or near total darkness, lit only by candles and/or torches. Perhaps a few small closets for storage of materials or participants who need to remain hidden until the right time.
Of course at the far wall stand the images of Nebt-Het and Renenet, since they'd be the patron dieties of this temple. Others are certainly welcome to stay a while and make their presence known, but when all is said and done it's the home of these two. I could see these images as larger than life itself, the two seated upon thrones, with aforementioned closets discreetly set into the sides or around the back.
I see another pit near the center of the floor, meant for either a fire or for offerings.
Let thine will be done. As in heaven as it is on Earth.

| 04:45 pm - You Always Get What You Vibrate
In working with the Law of Attraction you come to see yourself as a vibrational being, always sending out a vibration of some sort.
It's almost like you are one end of a guitar string, and (the) God(s) are at the other end, immediately sending your vibration back to you over the string. At first I wasn't going to mention fretwork, since this part holds true whether the string is held against the fretboard or not.
Then it occured to me the for stringed instruments anyway, as the point where the string is held down gets closer to the bridge, that increases the frequency of the vibration. So once again it can be said the higher your vibration, the closer you are to (the) god(s), literally!

WHOA! The Flyers WON game 5, and with it the series! They advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, most likely playing the Pittsburgh Penguins, who they've had good luck against. Still, we'll have to wait and see.
In Baseball data, I caught the tail end of the Phillies today, and this time they lost in 10 innings 3-2. I heard the Padres score towards the end, but didn't actually listen, so it doesn't really count towards the standings.

| 12:00 am - The Things You See at Truck Stops
Two things really. As I'm walking through the lot past the diesel fuel island, I look up.
A cell tower at least 200 feet tall spired out of the center of it, like something out of a dream or nightmare, right before it falls on you. Being that it's a cloudy night as well, the sky's kinda brownish from the city lights, and kinda bluish in other patches.
Then as I'm walking around inside, I see four couples who musta just gotten out of the prom. Four ladies in formal gowns of various colors, accompanied by their respective dates. I thought the one in the ultramarine blue gown with a sequined waist looked especially smashing. Beautiful. Never did attend any proms myself. No dates. Meh.

A hinge just broke on this laptop. So now I have to hold the screen in place when going over bumps or the display just flops down, which I'm sure can't be good for the other hinge.
And of course, just out of warranty. Fucking planned obsolescence. The ol' Thinkpad may be old as the hills, but it never did this! Dammit, why can't IBM make a 17 inch display model?
Guess I'll be switching over to the latest laptop a lot sooner. Somehow, since at present I can't make the driver for the cell phone to work. No Vista version. Meh.
Edit: SHIT! Now the OTHER hinge just broke! GraaahhhHHHHHH!!!

Bah. Phillies lost today 5-1. But at least they took 2 of 3, which to advance to the playoffs is the least you need to do. A sweep would be ideal of course, but I'll take what I can get.

Found our load overweight on the drives, and the tandems were already all the way forward, so no way to shift weight to them. So what does that mean?
Yup, slide the fifth wheel. At first since it was all the way back, just put it all the way forward and no problem right?
Whoops. A reweigh showed us overweight on the steers. And with our fuel tanks only about half full, can't do that. No way. So after much fussing and cranking down of landing gear, finally find that sweet spot where the fifth wheel will get back to the perfect spot. So, yay.
