Nothing today

We spent the day in Keene listening to music.

I rewired it.

Today was, "Let's move all the furniture and electronics in the living room to different places!" day. That meant I needed to run cable to the new television location and ethernet to the new printer location. Since I was doing that, and they were conveniently being located to the same area, I decided to combine them into a single box / wall plate.

By doing that, I only needed to drill one hole from the basement into the wall cavity, cut the work box hole in the drywall, fish the two wires from the basement into the wall cavity, install the work box and connect the coax & ethernet to their respective parts.

Now my wife has moved everything to where she wants it, the TV works (including HDTV) and the printer is on the network.

All is good and instead of having two wires running out of two different sides of the room, everything is ported from a singe location.

So now can we get back to talking about something, anything, other than deflated balls.

Except the Kardashians.

I don't ever want to talk about the Kardashians.

Or anything related to the Kardashians.

As near as I can tell, there have been 26 members of the Law Enforcement community shot and killed so far this year. Additionally, 3 members were beaten or stabbed to death and another 8 were killed by a motor vehicle.

That is a total of 37 LEOs who died because of the job they do.

I point this out because I have a good many friends and relatives who are members of that group and i would like them to keep their heads on a swivel, watch each others back and trust no one.

I have a fantastic head cold!

On Friday, I started to feel a little clogged up in the sinus department. Over the weekend, it got a little worse and I was atributing it to pollen.

On Monday morning, I awoke to a full-blown faucet of snot nad realized that if I was dealing with pollen, there was a shitload of it and I was probably going to die.

This morning, I woke up with not only the whole head-filled-with-snot thing but I also had a nice little sore throat and a headache that wouldn't go away. Oh, and I'm sneezing hard enough and often enough to assume I will eventually screw up my back.

I hate head colds.
