Bah and blah....

No pictures today. Thought I might post on a blah day for once.

Let's see. Had lots of plans today. Maeven got called up to the the Arratu group to do some work up there, so I decided to do some schoolwork, finish my binder (info to follow) play some PS3, work with my new astro-cam, etc.

So, I decided to clean up the kitchen first. And my drain backed up. So, I went to clean it out. Still backed up. Removed the plumbing. No problems. It was in the main plumbing under the house.

So I tried a plunger. No go. Tried some Drain-O. No go. Tried to snake it out with a big cable. No go. Went to the hardware store and bought a snake. No go. This is what I spent most of my day on.

For those of you who know me well, pretty much not many of you. I cannot let things like this go. They eat at me. Ask Maeven how many weekends I have ruined by trying to get a sound driver to work on my computer...or some such stupidity.

Well, I centered, grounded and tried to make an evening of it anyway. I went out and noticed Saturn was actually visible! So i plugged in my new astro-cam to my Vista laptop and guess what!?! It won't work on Vista. Screw it....where is that bottle of wine....

The wine should help me drown my sorrows while I blow away my laptop and load XP again...sigh. Damn you Microsoft! Damn you Phillips! Damn you plumbing! But thank the Gods there is wine in my life....B)

Yikes!! That's so weird that only one drain backed up if it's that far into your pipes. Hmm :(

As for Vista, I refused to touch it. Everything went downhill after NT, and that's saying something. But motion seconded on that wine!!
