Got my License for Kentucky

I went and got a state license. It was simple. I walked in showed them my BC one, My green card and proof of where I lived. After the $20 fee I had a photo and was done. Now the funny part. I tried to get ken his Placard for disability parking. I showed them the Victoria card, I showed his military papers stating he was perminantly disabled and they refused. I have to go get a doctor who has never seen him before and knows nothing about him to sign a paper and say he is disabled. So anyone can drive but you have to have special permission to park close to the door. -boggle- The woman at the place that did the placards annoyed me. I told her ken would have trouble going to a doctor because he worked during the hours the doctors were open and she asks 'He is disabled and he works?'. It boggles the mind poeople can be that dense.

Andrew told me today he got a coin from the Chief of Defence General Walter Natynczyk for excellence of service. I guess the General and his staff went on a day sail on the ship Andrew is cook on. Over all very cool. Way to go Andrew!

Are you nuts?

Dave and Betty mentioned that they collect and dry walnuts. well our back yard is crammed full of them. It seems we have the rare black walnuts, and here I thought they had just gone bad. We braved the peeved squirells and went out and collected all the walnuts off the ground and put them in a big big big bucket and popped it into the back of the truck. The walnuts will make the perilous journey to the center of the earth..Oh wait I meant PA where Dave and betty will run over them with a car (don't as me but I guess its the thing to do to ones walnuts) then peel them dry them and make banana bread.

Sirus is going crazy not being able to play due to his stitches but they will come out on the 1st.

We went to a flea market yesterday. I found some of my favorite t-shirts and bought 3. We also got some dog bones but they are not the kind we like to use. Disapointing but its my fault for not explaining to the woman more clearly what I wanted. We will keep trying.

Finding plain marrow bones seems to be a challange in this area. its very odd.

Dave and Betty headed home after a breakfast at Bob Evans. I sure love that restraunt. Its great.

Ken Parents came by

Kens parents came by for the weekend last night. They came baring gifts. Some chairs to sit on, chicken soup and apples among other things. The apples are huge and juicy, they are awesome. So being good hosts we immediatly put the parents to work. Dave managed to fix the front gate so it closes properly. No escaping dogs, YAAAA! Other than that they did a lot of little nit picky things around the house that needed doing which we really appreciate. Dave took some photos of the house while he was here. http://s229.photobucket.com/albums/ee315/nytetears/House/ if anyone is interested in checking them out.

Sirus got fixed and we got internet

I took Sirus in to get fixed today. My poor baby. I hated to do it but I had to. they will keep him over night which will be nice, I can go to bowling without having to worry about him at home alone.

The cable guy came by and hooked up the internet for us. We will get phone the next week. Its nice, WOW worked with no problem at all. The cable man even raised the wire that went over the drive way because it was too low to safely back in the RV. They tell me that AT&T wont release the phone number for some reason or another so we are just going to get a different phone number. We got a better number anyways, I always had trouble remembering the old number.

Att hooked up our internet and phone

Today ATT hooked up our internet and phone. they booked the tv hookup for saturday. Every time I would log into world of warcraft it would knock the router off line. I called ATT support line and the guy there tells me that WOW has to many files it is transfering and that the only way to play is that I have to lower the wireless down to wireless B. He then goes on to explain to me how wireless B is the same as wireless N and how only file sharers want wireless N. I told him that this was not acceptable and I got a 'too bad so sad' attitude from him. I went to bestbuy and We bought a linksys and tried to get it hooked up to the dsl. It would connect to the internet but it kept highjacking my IE window. It was worse then a virus. After about 2 hours on the phone with the Linksys people the woman told me it was the dsl causing her router software to highjack my IE. Seems these people have no idea what to do to problem solve. At like 3 am I was so mad I made ken call at&t and dish network and cancell everything. Cable will be by on tuesday to hook up the internet and cable. Then the following tuesday to hook up phone since they have to get permission from At&t to get the number ported over.

Feel the Power

We got the new converter installed today, all I can say is Wow! the microwave is working at full power. the coffee maker makes hotter coffee. I guess we have been running on a messed up converter for some time now.

When he came to install the converter he found he bought the wrong toilet. He got the right one ordered so he will have to come back tomrrow and put that in. When he was going to install the toilet he turned off the water and then turned on the bathroom faucets to check that it was off. I guess he left the faucets open, unknown to me. I went and turned the water back on when he left and the sink in the bathroom flooded and was running down the floor. I am going too let him know tomorrow about that.


We have a dinner to go to for kens work tomorrow so I may not get my work out done which kind of sucks but I will go back the next day.

Got laundry done finally. Someone had taken up all 8 washers and dryers. Mind boggling. Corky Barfed all over the rv on Monday I think it was so I had tons of cloths to wash. He was nice enough to hit my side of the bedroom then come out and get the stuff out in the main part of the rv too.

It was sure cool out today. I like the cooler weather for sure.
