Hey gang,
Just the usual blurb... wait whats that feeling.. 7 years with Raytheon!! Holy SHIT- This is the longest I have ever been with one company. Still low man on the pole, but its no big deal. The 2nd most longest job was the US Navy, which was by contract.. Raytheon has been by pain, cold winters, muggy summers, crappy drivers, ancient roads, and 100s of other things in this lovely state - but its great :) Where else can you get a cheesesteak at 3am.. Philly; Wanna go skiiing?? Poconos; Got family?? I got my mom and company in NY and Nicole has her entire family in South Philly. Friends?? check - Old school buddy and excellent gamer friends Dave and his wife Allison, some coworkers also fun to hang with and Nicole's friends all make for some interesting get togethers..
In other news, its the 9th of November and its going to be 70 degrees out =
End of the World!! Serious. When I got here 7 years ago, there was snow in Ohio.. SNOW!! I nearly crapped my pants when I had to drive on RTE 70 east towards Ohio that night.. SNOW - Let me look at my Radar - I always have coffee when I look at radar:
Nope! Its time to pack the surfboard and head to 'da Shore' to go swimming in 'wudar'.. oh well... today is a Dr appointment and Dentist appointment, so I think that I will take the car to get cleaned, washed, waxed and all spiffied up before old man winter shows up next week..
BLACK FRIDAY: Yep!
14 days and counting. So far the only thing that I see on my list is at Best buy: SIRIUS Radio unit for $50; thats $40 cheaper than everywhere else.. and thats out the door too ;) Here is the
MOST WANTED LIST on blackfridayadds.com: the 5mp camera at KMart. Not my exact place for excellent quality, but for $70 the kiddies cannot go wrong. Outside of that, so far I didnt see anything else that was 'must have' on the list. Nothing from Target or Walmart yet, but Im sure that they will have something on web soon enough.
PS3: well, after 2 generations, the PS3 release is coming closer: I found these two tidbits of internet fun-ness 1- Check out this guy:
Smashmyps3.com Holy cow! You can see his antics with the xbox360, ipod and a few others on youtube..
2-
THE LINE HAS STARTED!! These loosers are waiting for thier PS3. yes, a week before release.. talk about not having a job or girlfriend. My theory is this: get to the store the day of release around 3pm, Get the voucher at 10pm, then sell it to the highest bidder. no fuss with the ebay issues, no paying $600 for a PS3; just selling your spot in line. There is nothing that says you cant, right?? Too bad I got class that night, so I will send my loving wife lol..
BF2142: I Love this game; When I can, I play for an hour here and there, but not as much as some of the guys in the clan do. I am a sergeant, game rank #7 or 8; my buddy made #13 last night and the top guy is ranked #18; out of something like 24. The friking game came out on the 17th!! comeone guys!! Now my wife tells me that I play too much.. i wonder what thier wives tell them, if they havent left them already.. Oh well, anyways WE are going to play a tournament in the clan best squad wins... it should be good.
iPOD: New part in the weekly blog. We got one- nicole has Nano(nano) and I got the mini; way cool toy. We loaded iTunes and went to town on the CDs in the case; So far I got about 4GB worth of songs and still going. Our friend Allisone and Dave gave us Harry Potter (You gotta say it like the stepfather..'Harry pottter!')on disk as an audio book, so we will try it out. )Thanks again guys :D)
HOME: I am making progress now; we got the doorjamb fixed and now I am patching and painting where I can; also the computer is gone and the desk is going to go today, so that will be that. It wont be long till Susan and crew come out.. IT should be a fun winter this holiday season :D
