I Need A New Digital Camera
call HART crazy .. but
My camera is not .. that bad …
… but every time I use it .. I wish I had a better one.
It’s not that he was using Chop Sticks .. it was .. Geeez! SHUT UP, Will You?

I was out and about today, and stopped at the Palatal Express for lunch and a delicious Mongolian Stir Fry! Yummmmy. It’s ingenious this place. It’s basically like a Subway style of self-serve counter, where you can pick your choice of noodles, vegetables, meats and sauces .. and then your meal is stir-fried and cooked right in front of you on this 5-foot open wok/stove.
I was enjoying my lunch, when a few seats next to me there was this couple - a man and woman. I think they were co-workers, and they were dressed up so I figure they must have worked together.
Guaranteed An Approximate Time For A Service Call?
call HART crazy .. but
Well, my fancy schmancy furnace filter that I just replaced on June 1, 2006 and cost me $39.99 CDN got damaged from being in the 3 inches of water. Fortunately, I keep a bundle of those 3-packs for $1.99 filters so it’s not really that much of an issue.
What is an issue is that our Air Conditioner is on the fritz again. What is happening is that it is icing up and stops working. It has nothing to do with the flood in our basement yesterday, as it has been going on for about 2 weeks now. We put the air conditioning on, it cools the house down, it ices up, the house gets hot, we turn off the air conditioner, the ice melts, and repeat.
Oooooh Noooo! Damn You Tim Hortons! Damn You!

ARE THEY MAD?
I just drove through the Drive-Thru at Tim Horton’s and ordered my “Regular” … which I have been doing practically every day since March 1st anyway ….

It’s funny about backups
call HART crazy .. but
I thought I would write a nice long post about BACKUPS, backup procedures, how I backup my data, how I backup my blogs, etceter etcetera etcetera ….
Normally when I write long posts like that, I like to press the “Save and Continue Editing” button. If you click “Save”, you have to open the draft blog post entry up again and continue. Of course, if you click “Publish” and you are still writing a blog post entry, you look like an idiot for posting an incomplete post. So, if you click “Save and Continue Editing” .. all is well because your post will be saved, and you can continue where you left off.
Canada Postage Rates Gone Up Again
call HART crazy … but
Sometime around Mid-November, I ran out of postage and had a stack of letters to mail. I did. While I was at the local post office, I not only paid for the postage needed for the envelopes I had, but I also got $20.00 plus taxes worth of$0.50 cent stamps - you know the ones .. the peel & stick ones.
Well, since Mid-November, I haven’t really had any letters to post .. but since about early January 2006 I have had at least a few each week and yesterday, had 12 brand new letters to post - one of them a larger envelope, needing lots of postage. So, I figure I may as well mail them all today. I counted them, and had 27 letters to post of which 2 were fair sized and heavy. I wasn’t quite sure if I put enough postage on the letter, but generally I would rather put more postage on than is needed “just in case”.
