Still More Plants

No joy on the $220 million…..on the bright side no one else won either….approximate worth for Tuesday’s drawing, $300 million. Put the top down to go to lunch, but put it back up while we were inside at Ruby Tuesdays. Good thing too as it rained a bit during the time we were in there. Put it back down this evening for our 3rd trip to Lowes in less than 24 hours. We bought still more plants for Donna to decorate the yard with. Plus we bought a small plastic square hose reel to keep the hose hidden when not in use. Also it will allow us to relocate the thing over towards the garage door so I won’t drag it over the planting bed squashing the flowers.

Started up, went down, went back up, went back down, still down.

1 In 76 Billion

I was not lucky on the AC Panel, didn’t get it today. That is OK, as I want to save up some luck for tonight’s lottery drawing, the jackpot is at $220 million. We splurged and bought 4 tickets instead of the usual one, thereby increasing our odds from 1 in 76 billion to 1 in 19 billion. So if you come back tomorrow and this hasn’t been updated it means one of 3 things, 1) I won, 2) I’m dead or 3) both. 🙂

That Hosting Company VIII cont.

54 hours and counting. I know this is an easy one, but hey, the only other thing I got is Rspeed didn’t get me my AC Panel in time for a weekend install and that is really not bad considering they just got them in on Thursday.

It Worked

In spite of the scattered sprinkles and ugly clouds, today we relied solely on the cockpit cover to protect us. It worked. The cockpit cover got a workout though, on at work, off to drive to the doctor’s office, on while at the office, off to drive back to work, on while at work, off to drive to get haircuts, on while getting hair cuts, off for the drive to Augusta to get our Big Game lottery tickets, wheew.

Rspeed called, they got the AWD AC panel in and will ship it out. If I am lucky they got it on the truck today and I’ll have it tomorrow.

Started down, still down.

That Hosting Company VIII cont.

26 hours and counting. The fellow running the Aiken Bicycle Club site got an email from the folks at THC informing him if he wanted to buy back the domain from His Royal Highness, Jack Thomas he would have to pay $75 for the privilege. This is in addition to the $99 he paid in September for “Lifetime” hosting… Not sure if I should try and buy back the Miata Club domain or just move on and pick a new one.

Gone again. After all the shenanigans we have been through, I thought everything was getting back to normal. I even got an email that they were opening up the support forums again. 7:51 PM EDT poof and not back yet….

Big Game Miss

Rainy morning-top up, cloudy afternoon-top down. Went shopping tonight and the rain was still hit or missing our fair city, so while inside the store we put it up. Good thing it wasn’t raining when we came out as the leaf blower box wouldn’t fit in the trunk, so it went on the back behind the seats.

As you can tell from the tone of this that we didn’t hit the Big Game last night. When Donna checked the numbers this morning she commented, “Doesn’t even look like we were playing the same game.” But that is OK as nobody else won it either. I sense another road trip tomorrow as the jackpot is estimated at $200 million. If we win that – Miata SEs for everybody!
