Well well well. its another great night at the lake and i am about to crawl into bed. i went for a played a little basketball and then went for a quick dip into the lake. i say every morning that i will go to bed early but never do. tomorrow i plan on being very productive at work. :)

I think i am become more antisocial at work. i have been to busy to engage in the idle chat that goes on around the office. and i sense that i am out of the loop into which faction of woman aren't talking to others for petty reason this week. I found that this is the normal progression when middle age females work together, the cant coexist, the must find new and innovative was to back stab and bitch about each other. Ultimately i find that woman are more to blame for the inequality of woman leadership in the work place. It boils down to woman, in general, hate to be bossed around by another woman. although i would be lying if i didn't say a part of me likes to hear the complete nonsense they come up with to complain about each other. I usually just encourage them.

Okay this is the last song i will post in a while. This is 'Frightened Rabbit' singing 'Good Arms Vs. Bad Arms'. Its a band out of Scotland that manly consists of two brothers.

This is a song by "The Ghost is Dancing" called Shuttles and Planes. i hope you enjoy.

We had a very hard rain this morning at about 5:30. it was very soothing and refreshing. i had to get up with Dresden, but that's my favorite time to sleep. you have the windows open and you can hear the rain and smell the fresh air.

Here is a video with two bands i really enjoy 'Calexico' and 'Iron and Wine'. Calexico is a collection of musician ranging from Canada, Germany and Arizona. they have an indie/americana sound to them, very good band. Iron and Wine is folk singer by the name of Samuel Beam.

well Its Friday night and i am already tired. its a fantastic summer evening out. i am going to make a drink and watch the sunset and then go to bed early. i should go and mow but i am to tired and lazy. why not do tomorrow what you could have done today...or something like that.

Well as Moody alluded too, we were on the verge of a full blown bar brawl. good for the city of Vegas it didn't happen. we were minding our own business but some people were picking a fight with the quietest guy at our table. his brother inlaw is one of my closets friends. he eventually had enough of it and, is a bit of a tough guy, so he walks over and smacks the guy so hard he flies out of his chair which in turn that guys friend tackles my friend which in turn our whole table jumps up and runs over and add to it. bar tenders, bouncer and local patrons all jump in right away to prevent an old school all out bar fight. Pretty much all of us at our table are from Moorhead. we all grew up on the North side, which is the working class side of town, and is very racially diverse. every single one of us has been in a ton of fights. We very rarely start them any more but dont have a problem finishing them. its to bad Moody spent the 10 min. melee in the bathroom. no one was hurt and no one went to jail so no harm no foul in my book.

Well this was my hell week at work. i had soooooo much to do. and in the middle of the week while in the midst of working my ass off and overextending myself i managed to crash everything in the building. Computers, phones, our Radio system, and servers. basically everything that is important enough to be on our backup power.

while installing all these new servers, i overloaded one of the phases on the UPS and Wham!.....silence..

working for a power company that needs contact with their customers and with their crews at all time, this was a very untimely mistake.

thankfully i was able to find a bypass switch and reroute past the UPS and get everything back online. and even more thankful nothing major broke.

I actually had no idea our UPS had three separate phases and never knew the electricians put everything in the server room on one phase (very idiotic). so now i have had electricians in to move breakers around to hopefully do a more even job of load balancing.

Moving over the Domain controller/file and print server, i thought was going to be the stressful part of my week but i guess not.

well its Monday and i am tired. hard to get back into the swing of things here at work after a long weekend. Dresden was up at 5:45 this morning so that adds to it. i hope everyone had a good 4th of July. even though 1/4 of my bloggers are Canadian and don't celebrate thier independence the same day as ours.

wow have we had some great weather the last few days. tonight i will fix a small scrap in my boat and try to fix my irrigation pump. i'll have to make time to go swiming tonight too.
