  • Not feeling great today. I did get some unpacking done though and started two breads for baking tomorrow. #
  • Time to hit the hay. Feeling a little better after some relaxing. Hopefully the headache is gone by morning… #
  • Two batches of bread are kneaded and proofing. It's amazing what a 10 minute knead can do, both for bread and baker! #
  • Ciabatta came out looking OK. Sourdough is doing it's final rise and I'm out the door for a few errands… then diiner! #
  • I am horrible at shopping. I can't find anything…. Ever. I see no logic in these store layouts. I need store GPS. #
  • The final loaf of the night should be done baking in a few minutes.. which is good because I can't keep my eyes open! #
  • Not bad looking bread! http://yfrog.com/4ils7rj #
  • Arg. I cannot get VMWare Server running on Fedora 12 for the life of me. I've done all the patches ect but when I reboot, it's dead again. #

  • I just popped some beets into the toaster oven for dinner. I think I'll sauté a pork chop as well… and potatoes? Sour dough? We'll see! #
  • Family is coming for breakfast tomorrow, and I'm not ready! I'm going to do a bit more cleaning and then I have got to goto bed… Ugh! #
  • Enduring a church budget meeting. These are horrible to sit through. Politics! #
  • Someone has stormed out of the meeting. A simple misunderstanding has become a much larger issue. The Motion at hand has been tabled… #
  • Relaxing a bit before bed listening to some music. Some good tunes can make anything seem a little better :) #
  • Ignoring the fact that I am tired and have a headache, I've again chosen, like an idiot, to sit at my desk till 11. #
  • Epic fog on the ride home tonight. I just kept my eye on the snow bank. Not as bad on busy roads, but the side roads are thick! #

  • First loaf is golden and looks pretty good. I can hear it crackling away on the counter. I may have slashed it a little too deep… #
  • Wow. Excellent bread! The crust is crisp but not too thick and the interior is totally soft. Not bad! #
  • We're a few minutes from the top of the 8:45 service and the projectionist hasn't arrived… #
  • Got lots done and left lots more undone today. Time to rest up for a new week.. hopefully one filled with new snow! #
  • I shoveled off my walkway and it looks like I have 12-14" here in Derry. Let's hope the snow blower starts up! #
  • Time for the traditional snowy morning breakfast: Cinnamon Rolls (Not to worry, I'll work off the calories with snow removal) #
  • I'm annoyed with this useless John Deere tractor mounted snow blower. This hunk of garbage is good for nothing. I'd be better off w/ a spoon #
  • Driveway: mostly done. Me: mostly annoyed but relaxing. Next up: dinner! #

  • Clock say 9pm, might as well be midnight. A little TV and I'm going to bed! #
  • Time to wash up, eat some breakfast and head out! Busy day ahead before the trip down to FL. #
  • Important items missing from my house: #1 A Hairbrush #
  • Time to go get packing! Dinner at my parents house so I can pickup some more stuff and then a VERY early morning. Bus leaves at 3:45! #
  • Working with a tech support company to fix a server issue.. I think they are more confused then I am. Not very helpful… Garbage software. #
  • And now from my home to my house for a very early night. Need to leave at 3am! #
  • Should anyone try to rob my house while I'm away.. they will assume they are too late! This place is a total mess! #
  • Well, I think I'm all packed. In little more then 4 hours I'll be on my way to FL. Maybe I can grab a nap or two on the flights… #

  • Driveway is clear and Sunday is winding down. Looking forward to watching Top Gear tonight! #
  • After some more email server mistakes yesterday afternoon.. email is working just fine. Still loving Snow Leopard Server! #
  • Time to head for Newton and get some sleep. Mega week ahead at work. So much to get done before a biz trip the week after. #
  • Removing ones self from a warm and cozy bed can prove problematic in the winter months. #
  • Wow. Just got my iPhone working as a modem again. What a process. Seems my VM is working still though, so that is a plus! #
  • Almost time to dash back over to Derry. Perhaps some progress today? Unlikely. #
  • RT @grownathome: New Blog Post is up! http://grownathome.tv/?p=13 Talks about the beginning of Spring Planning for my homestead! #
  • I'm online at the house in Newton. Barely online. Slowly online.. but online none the less. I guess I'll goto bed now :) #

  • I got my dad playing Forza 3 with my new racing wheel. What a hoot! Highly recommended! #
  • I'm at the office today, trying to get things in order so I can take a few days off and move into the new house. So far so good! #
  • I got a few errands done this morning, picked up a new water test kit and paid my first mortgage payment :) If only I called it home… #
  • Just signed up for AOPA. Now that the house is mine, I can start to refocus on my pilots license. Not a moment too soon! #
  • Alright, time to fly! I'd like to get the water test done today and I just got word the Gas inspection will be happening at 10am tomorrow! #
  • Arg! I've arrived home from Praise Team rehearsal with plans to setup my Snow Leopard server.. but I left the serial # at my house :( #

  • With several inches of new snow, we forged a path out to the grill. Nothing like a grilled ribeye to finish off the day! #
  • Got quite a bit done today! Loads of cookies and candies made, plus fried rice for tomorrows office party in Boston. #
  • No part if me wants to start a new week. Can't I skip a day? #
  • I'm down in Boston today for the office holiday party. I brought fried rice.. but it's keeping warm in a slow-cooker. Hope it's still good! #
  • And the 'Party' begins. Not even sure I should break out the camera for this… #
  • Party time has ended.. now for driving time. Then.. some other time :) #
  • Off to Salem, by way of Plaistow. Not a direct route, I know, but I had some pictures printed and I really want to see them! #
  • Sadly, my pictures were not ready for pickup :( I'll check back again tomorrow. #

  • I'm about to go pickup some free furniture and then head home for some dinner. Free is good! Will at least let me get settled in a bit… #
  • Ordered the Nikon 105mm VR Macro lens today. Refurbished, of course. It's my gift to me this holiday season. Been on my list for years… #
  • It feels like forever since I've been here at the office. It will be good to knock out some projects today… #
  • I'm watching the Boeing 787 First Flight! So cool that it's streaming! #787FF #
  • Boeing 787 is cleared for takeoff! It's taxing onto the active. Here we go! #787FF #
  • The 787 is away! Beautiful airplane but boy do it's wings flex up during flight! #787FF #
  • Getting my Tivo configured using a hodgepodge of a setup. Tivo is hooked up to a computer monitor and online via shared WIFI fro my iMac G4. #
  • Not sure why I'm still at my computer.. fixing that now. #

  • Good Cantata rehearsal tonight, thought I mixed up some words in my solo second time through. Whoops! I'll need to work on that! #
  • On my way out, I started chatting with a pilot friend. He flyies a 206 up and down the pipeline looking for faults for a living. Cool gig! #
  • I've finally setup a temporary desk here at the house. Mac Pro, dual 24" 1080P LCDs. It's great! I forgot how awesome this machine is! #
  • I've been doing a bit of shoveling this AM. First time at the new place. The paved driveway makes it quite pleasant! #
  • The gas install guy is here. Seems nice enough. Hopefully he doesn't' run into any issues… This is the 2nd to last hurdle… #
  • It seems he has found some issues. The cut off valves are not up to code… #
  • Right, well.. not a good prognosis. The pipe size is too small and the shutoff's are illegal. There goes another $600! #

  • Back at the office today. Big piles of work to do today… #
  • Just called to confirm my Fairpoint FaST service order. So far so good. They seem to have the details of the order correct. Fingers crossed! #
  • I'm trying to work out my work station for the new house. I think I want a work table, a file cabinet and a side table for peripherals. #
  • And, finally to bed. I think I have the master CD for the Christmas Cantata fully complete. No more pops or drop out left… I hope! #
  • I've got a few errands to run and then I'm off to the office. Busy evening ahead! #
  • As the final move in date comes closer, I'm wondering if I should order cable or not. The price doesn't seem all that high for basic… #
  • So.. I'm on Google Wave. It's exactly as empty and bewildering as I expected it to be. Social doesn't work well in a void… #
