I have a crapload of laundry to do.

And the dishes.

And I need to change water on the guppies.

Im going to go take a shower and forget about my problems for at least 10 minutes.

Sigh.

I will be in AZ from aug 10th until aug 14th.

My Grandfather has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peal.

So Ill be going down there to visit him and say goodbye.

I am sad.

Sorry I missed that day.

Ive been so busy running around and fixing computers I never got to post.

Now I am doing billing and it sux.

UGHHGHGGHG

Also in other news melissa turns 11 today!

I am thinking about making a video of the chinese resturaunt we are going to (she loves the place).

Anyway.

Im off to bill.

Well, I just got back from work. The tail end of me working with 2 ISPs to get this girls outgoing mail working.

200 bucks.

Yesterday we took the kids to Fritz Loven Park.

There is a creek there that is fed by freshwater springs. The water is about 50 degrees, its pretty nice if you dont mind swimming in a 4 foot pool with some trout, water worms and the like.

I dont mind it. There are never ever any people there that I have seen.

But Ive been trying to figure out who the hell this Fritz Loven guy is. There is a place in the park where his house used to be (according to the plaque there) BUT thats all anyone seems to know about him. So far I heard he was Hobo, and an eccentric millionaire but I dunno...thats from totally unreliable sources. (aka my mother in law)

I cant find any information anywhere.

Keep your eye out for me huh?

Thanks

ugh.

its 8000 degrees F here. And F stands for fucking hot.

I mean its nicer than in the winter but 95 with 86 percent humidity at 11 AM is grueling.

I am going to expire.

Pray for me to stay cool, because only an act of God could help me now.

-Note to kids-

"Kids

Well Im off to work.

Should hopefully be home around 1 or sooner.

Have breakfast when you get up and Ill make lunch when I get back.

-Melissa, clean up the downstairs floors.

-Stephen, clean cloths to basement out of bathroom.

I just wanted to feel like mom in one of these notes.

LOVE YOU!

XOXOX

I got myself into trouble this morning.

My wife wakes me up at like 8:30. With breakfast in bed, "Honey, I have a special surprise for you!". I dont usually eat breakfast and if I do its 1 or 2 hours after Ive been awake. Well I tried to mechanically eat a piece of bacon and I burned my mouth on the syrup for the french toast. But Im afraid it was obvious that I didnt want it. Then I stupidly said, "When was the last time you saw me eat breakfast?", I didnt realize what I was saying, I had been awake for 2 minutes and also Im real dumbass.

Then my wife started to cry.

:^(

Then I felt bad for 2 hours.

I love my wife and she is very sweet. I told her I would try and be hungryer in the mornings but she told me I prolly wouldnt get breakfast in bed again.

So be it. :^/

I have alot of stuff to do today.

Motherboard replacement/windows instal. among other things.

Meh.

I dont feel like doing anything.

But I guess I should go hop in the shower and get started.

I finished the book. I would tell you all what it was about however I think that would ruin it.

It was published in 1965 but written before 1940.

Basically its like the 6th sense meets jacobs ladder. Which is pretty amazing for the period it was written in.

I recommend it. Especially if you like weirdo metaphysical type stuff.

I read it in about 8 hours.

Well I have things to do today.

bye!!!

Good Morning.

I got up alittle late today because I couldnt put down "The Third Policeman"

Its the weirdest thing I ever read.

So bizarre.

I highly recommend you go out and get it. Of course I havent finnished it yet. So maybe by the end Ill feel differently.

But I doubt it.

Im going back to it now.

Have a great day.

Sorry am late with the post.

I need to call MS and sit on hold for an hour now. Also, laundry.

Nothing special to report.

heh heh

Well appearently the background for my health blog went over bandwidth limit at imageshack. So I had to download the pic from somewhere else and I still need to repost it and edit the template.

Ugh

Might go tubing again 2morrow.

Also I have to pick up my friend from the auto mechanic.

Last night we had sketti.

And I am supposed to work on a broken xbox today...

:^)

Have a nice day!

Today we are hearing from more people who have me confused with another Robert Schultz, and my replies to them.

The name is tdisal and here is what they say:

Robert,
You're still a nasty dirty old man!!!!---bless you.That's a case of taking things in your own hands.
Obviously you made it home ok, don't know how you do it. Driving is a pain.
It sure was good to see you again and you look just like Bob. I dig the haircut.
Just thought I'd let you know I got your mail. Be well-----Tommy

and my reply:

Why thank you for blessing however I believe you have the wrong robert schultz.

Im not old, or nasty, thank you.

Please tell whichever robert schultz you are replying to that he is giving out my address as his or something.

Have a great day!

Thanks,
R

The power at my house keeps going out for about .5 seconds because there are these 90 mph winds going through my neighborhood every 2 minutes.

Have a good day! I gotta go, who knows how long Ill have power to click publish.

**** UPDATE ****

The guy accross the street from me's tree is splitting in half. Its prolly 200 feet tall and half is going to fall on his house and the other half into the street where my vehicles are parked. I only know this because he went around telling everyone to move their cars.

in the first Y of the tree it is splitting right down the middle.

Well, Im configuring this domain controller for these people who bought the hardware from dell.

They got an external tape backup to put on it. (Dell bundled it with the machine)

Its SCSI.

There is no external SCSI controller on the machine.

Nice one Dell.

8 Random things.

1. I dont wanna have a pet with fur because I am sick of them dying on me.

2. I have alot of pets without fur that die. I dont mind that so much.

3. When I was 10 my sister pushed me onto a kerosene heater while I was warming my butt in front of it in my underware. OUCH! My garment was fused to my body.

4. Sometimes I think everything is pointless and it bothers me.

5. I get gas from everything. Including drinking water.

6. I still have my teddy bear from when I was a kid.

7. I dont talk to my blood relatives much and I feel guilty about it. But they are fricken nuts.

8. I never do internet memes, what the hell was I thinking here.

I tag no one. The buck stops here.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

PS 9. I put up a blog about my medical problems.

Everyone seemed to like Burt. He was such a topic of conversation a few weeks ago I have given him his own video spot.

Yes that is me giggling and sounding very silly in the background.

I have some fireworks footage I need to chop up if I get so motivated that it gets done.

In other news I actually have a full day of work planned for 2morrow. Hopefully I can get another one next week and wam bam Im a total success.

Prolly wont happen but this week is going really well.

Anyway

BJ. Burton Jr.
