Good Radio Show Tuesday

Wow is it raining. I can't even see my neighbor's house across the street from me. Oddly my sprinklers came on too.

Still trying to decide if going to the gym is a good idea or not. The parking lot at the gym tends to flood when it rains this hard as do some of the streets that I need to drive on to get there and my Vette tends to not do well in flooded streets. Plus my sinuses have been bothering me since yesterday afternoon and I'm worried about getting sick again. Not that there is anything else to do on a rainy day like this although I guess I could actually get some work done.

Last night some friends came over to watch The L Word and Battlestar Galactica on my Tivo. One of them is a Pagan and carries rocks (she will correct me and tell me they are magic crystals) in her pocket. She let me hold one so I put it in the microwave along with the rice I was cooking. Wow did she get disturbed over me nuking her rock.

What were we talking about again?

Sorry to hear FanTC about that! Geeze I hope they find the guys, that just sucks big time.

Cooler today so going to do some yardwork. Also have to take MadHatter to the doctor. After 10 years, I've finally convinced him to go for a physical when he took his blood pressure the other day, and it was high. I don't want anything happening to him, so I'm dragging his ass down there to see my dr who is a great lady.

Other than that, the usual porn. It sure is nice to feel better again and to be over the cold from hell.

FanTC, that is absolutely terrible. I hope everything works out there for you and I hope that the police find the people responsible quickly.

There are two water shortage laws broken in that statement. Though one is rather shaky as I don't know the age of your irrigation system.

Spent last night tracking down security bugs on one of our machines -- damn those guys are getting ingenious.

Plenty of work on tap for today, no work shortage here.

Vintage 1958 with a couple of upgrades. It has two huge 110 volt water solenoids and a 110 volt control circuit for the pump's contactor. Some time ago the third water solenoid died and was replaced with a 24 volt solenoid as was the three mechanical timers that controlled the three zones. This meant adding some 24 volt relays to control the old 110 volt circuits. The housing from one of the old mechanical timers was used to house the relays and a Rain Bird digital timer was used to control everything. The Rain Bird digital timer is a pain in the ass to program and I've been thinking of replacing it with this X10 one since I already have a X10 system in my house controlling other stuff. I could also then add a rain sensor to this one. Still the pump is noisy and there is no way I'm going to have it come on before 10 am like the city wants me to as it wakes me up.
