The Ka-tet Cantina 2

[Alexandra M]

I am a little bit nervous. We are moving to a house closer to my work tomorrow, and no TV satellite dish until Sunday. No Internet until Tuesday of next week! I will miss the weekend party! I will miss everyone. Maybe I will be able to drop by work and check in.

Oh Danie; moving is no fun. And no TV or Internet! There ought to be a law against that
Good luck and hope the move goes smoothly.

I saw the nose first and was like - is that it?.LOL Then I finally saw the rest.

17 and 22 is quite reasonable - when I buy cartridges for my HP it is almost 60 bucks! (that is why sometimes we just get them refilled).

Whenever I get the refills the ink comes out in blots on several spots on the page. So, I went back to buying the new cartridges. Do
you have any problems with refills?

So I get out to the camp I'm doing some repairs at, right? Late yesterday...'cause of other errands prior. Some young cow-poke, next camp over, musta thought nobody would be suspicious is he (how misandric, hey?) put a pellet through each pane of glass on that side of the neighbor's camp. Probably a 30-year-old dude with hygiene problems now, my guess. That, or a bank executive, high-end pay, nubile wife, sassy children.

What was I going to say? ...out at the camp...oh! yeah, gull darn screen door on the front porch can only open about five six inches! Like to know the flight attendant who hung that screen door. I suppose if there was a fire you wouldn't allow some aluminum mesh to get in your way. Herman has been swinging by, drives in slowly, pauses...sun glares off the side window, but I know he's in the cab, scowling at me, checking to see that I use the access road provided and I don't encroach on his train car, fifty feet long. Got running water and a/c inside, Herman tells me. The farmer's in the field! Go the other way!

Went through the winter, no cold, but seem to have caught a summer cold bug. Woke up last night, early morning, coughing. Had taken some cough medicine before I woke up sweaty, just past midnight. Get up, go to the bathroom, open the medicine cabinet door. No cough syrup. Dang! Where'd it go? Remember there's another bottle or two or three downstairs, under the sink. So, I head down there, take my medicine. Sniffling. Ack ack. Fun stuff.

Feel better soon Walt!

Hey all,
Got moved in and had to come to school to get some things, so thought I'd check in and say hi. The move went well; now home to a shower and BED!

It must be nice to be closer to work - I would move, but I kinda like this house - maybe just need to find help with getting a bit more organized. Glad your move went well!

I got that too...... Strange i think. Dont feel very adventorous.......

Enjoy your adventure with your brother Kurben - see you soon!

Off to work today, Tet mates. Which seems horribly unfair, since it's still summer... Don't know if I'll be able to check in from there. But this *will* give me a chance to see if the SKMB is blocked by the county's firewall!

Good luck - I never go on the SKMB at work - too risky where I work! They monitor everything.

So you don't know who shot the holes in the windows?

Yeah - me, too Walter Oobleck - I would like to know who did such a rotten thing - some weirdo using windows as target practice? BB gun perhaps?

I find you can only refill the cartridge once, then you have to buy a new one. Thanks for reminding me - I need to go get a couple of new cartridges today!

The trick to refilling is to first shoot the ink in then suction out the air from the bottom. That air is what gloops it all up. Plus, sucking the air through makes the sponge soak it up. There are kits for it.

Housewarming party at Danie's place! Woot!

I love it when you speak so technical.....

So you don't know who shot the holes in the windows?

I suspect the panes were mostly shot out some time ago. A previous owner of the camp had applied tape, a wider Scotch tape by the looks of the residue left on the glass. There was this once, Mount Vernon, Iowa...doing a remodel of a building that became home to the Mount Vernon Sun...a...weekly I think it was. Older building in beautiful downtown Mount Vernon, red brick and windows. In front, boarded up, an arch of stained glass over the large main window, another square of stained glass over the doorway. One pane of the arch, sun-burst was broke, probably by some eighty-year-old juvenile delinquent. Maybe he busted the glass just before he headed out for The Territories...and eventually ran for president. Wonder if any have been from Iowa? Hoover? Maybe one of them muttonchops presidents.

Three windows facing one direction and all but one pane in the upper sash shot out with some sort of pellet- or BB-gun. The kid, who is probably a banker now with a sassy wife and nubile children, let one pane live on the far side but he took one out on the lake side that I didn't notice when I was counting them up. Overall, about a hundred bucks worth of glass and glazing compound, push points. (Herman came by today, too...driving the family car...different vehicle each day. Former pilot I'm told, for Northwest.)

I finished a manuscript today (no small feat during summer vacation!), and how did I celebrate? I CLEANED MY CARPETS! I must be the dumbest person ever--lol. Leaving for LilMan's swimming party in a little while (hope he passed level 3), then he has a friend over all day tomorrow. Parade in the morning (local holiday), then waterslides, then home play time, then friend's dad is taking them out to dinner and a movie. Then I collapse. Summer is exhausting.
