It is a 99 with 68,000 miles and mine is a 01 with 57,000 miles. How much do you think I need to pay him on top of mine? Oh wait, his also has:

high tech vs low tech

im not hurt anonymous commenter, i think it is funny.

my dvr on my satellite broke the other day. just stopped receiving signal and gives me static. i lose all my recorded episodes of cops, and all the movies, and all the simpsons. oh well, they sent me a new one and it should be on its way. Wednesday night is the tv show lost and that conflicts with wed night kellie and i going out to johnny's pizza for some pizza and beer. you can see my dilemma forming that i could not record lost and we were going to have to stay home. well, i am a jenious and figured out that i have a vcr that would record the episode just fine. this got me to thinking that low tech isn't all that bad...

the low tech i am referring to concerns mostly tape players and vcr's. I don't remember ever scratching an audio or video tape, i don't remember ever bending one either and making it break. a tape has never skipped, stopped dead, or not been able to read at all ever. you knew that as soon as you pressed play, that magnetic tape was going to read... yes it would only read right where you left off, and the quality wasn't as good, but it was reliable. i feel like a crochety old man, and maybe i am (to some of you young whippersnappers) but i think i am going to keep my low tech as a good backup for a while, just in case.

random

whats with the random anonymous hate comments (check previous post).

anyways, had a great weekend... saturday drinking day and parade. sorry i didn't say bye, i got a bit too wasted and kellie drove me home. you know, i can drink beer forever and never get drunk, but as soon as i drink a whole cup of crown (thanks less) i get floored. beer before liquor never sicker, beer before hard your in the yard... good time never the less.

sunday did some shopping and that sucked, but i got some dope shoes, so i am psyched. and i finished screening in my front porch, so it is impenetrable to bugs, yay.

that's my weekend
