Taking advantage of a slow work day on a Monday morning to get my blog entry
in.  I didn't get as much accomplished this weekend as I had planned. 
Saturday had the rain come early and then it stayed around the entire day.  I
guess I can't complain, because we could use the moisture.  According to the
climatologists, our subsoil moisture is pretty low right now.  So, instead of
working outside, I got my tax information ready to go.  Sunday I went and
slogged through the muddy field picking up leftover blocks that the loggers
left behind from the most recent timber sale.  Most of the wood was walnut (3
trailer loads) with a partial load of oak.  Now I remember why I rather deal
with tops, as trunk blocks are heavy, especially when they are still green. 
Fortunately, walnut is less dense than oak so it wasn't as heavy as it could
have been if they were all oak.  I'll have to let those blocks sit for the
summer before I split them.  

Then my brother and his girlfriend showed up an hour after I had finished my
work with the wood.  I got my shearing for the winter season from my bro's
girlfriend.  I think I'm down a half pound or at least it would appear so from
all of the brown with a dash of silver piles on the kitchen floor.  

So not bad, got a few things accomplished this weekend.  If the weather is
good next weekend, I should have more opportunity to work on the wood pile. 
In other news, I'm bored at work today.  It is one of those rare times where I
am  completely out of work.  I hate this situation, as I'm forced to charge
time on projects without making meaningful progress.  It just goes against my
work ethic, but there is little I can do at the moment about it.  So here I
sit, surfing and mudding.  If it wasn't for the guilt, I'd be a happy man.

Got a headache going today.  Must be the low pressure system in the area.  One
of the genetic quirks I inherited from my Mom.  Fortunately, I don't get the
frequency and severity of headaches that she gets, but I am definitely
susceptible to changing weather conditions.  So yeah, it is going to be one of
those type of days for me.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I went ahead and beat Kingdom Hearts Friday
evening.  Bleah, sucky ending for a game that I didn't exactly enjoy (see
earlier posting).  Considering playing Growlancer Generations or X-men Legends
next.  

Still working on that home PC purchase.  Still waiting for that "I can't pass
that up" type of deal.  Worried I'll get sucked into WoW if I do get a home
machine though.  Temptation is there, I can not deny.  Well, at least I don't
have a hobby that is as expensive as dirt track racing.  My brother was
constantly talking about this and that and price tags associated with each
selection.  I guess a grand or 2 for a PC is chump change compared to that
hobby.  Ah well, I had better wrap up the rambling for now.  Entry brought to
