It's Friday!!

    Ahhh, what a wonderful lunch, I don't know why but there is just something about Harrison's Bar that I enjoy.  I had a bacon cheeseburger and they cooked it exactly how I like them, RARE!!!  No one else will do that, I understand the health concern, but I'm a big boy and I think I can live with the consequences of my own actions.  Although in this "sue happy" society we live in I guess I understand most businesses aprehension to serving it my way. 
    Today has been a really slow day at work.  I setup a few systems and created a NFS install point to ease my pain in loading OS's with multiple CD's.  I suppose that is one thing Microsoft has learned to do right, getting the whole OS on one disk.  This of course comes at a price, but NFS has certainly made multiple CD installs much more bearable!  We start our marriage counseling tomorrow (that is PRE-marriage, not POST-marriage counseling!)   Other then that, I have not intentions of venturing very far from the couch!  Maybe a jog, but then right back to old faithful. 
    Oh, I almost forgot to mention the hundreds of dollars we saved yesterday!  Joni's car was making a funny noise while breaking, so we took it to Midas as they have done right by us in the past.  Well naturally the good fortune had to end and they tried to sock us with a $450 estimate to replace the front calipers, rotors, and breaks.  Respectfully I told them to "piss up a rope" and we bought the parts at AutoZone.  $60 later, we had new rotors and calipers and tomorrow I'll take the car down and let Midas replace our lifetime warranty breaks for FREE.  There is something to be said for those who are skilled enough to repair their own car!
