Firewood.

With enjoyable days of fall rapidly dwindling, it’s time to think about getting firewood for the winter. For the house I’m living at it will take about five to six chords of firewood to get through the winter. While gathering it’s amazing to realize how many times you pick up the same piece of wood to get it to the fire.

I’ll give you an example of.how many times you pick it.

1. Moving the tree to cut the round.
2. Cutting the round and moving it to the truck.
3. Throwing Round into the splitting pile.
4. Moving Round to be spilt.
5. Throwing the spilt wood into another pile.
6. Throwing the spilt wood into the back of the truck.
7. Moving the truck to an area closer to the house to be thrown into another pile to be stacked.
8. Stacking the spilt wood.
9. Moving wood into the house to be burned.
10. And finally putting the wood into the fireplace.

So to get one piece of fire wood into the place you have to pick it up at least ten times. It’s a pretty long process, but we have around two more cords of wood to go before we are done. I can’t wait for it be over.

Got the plane ticket!

It’s cool to have my computer back. Now it's time to get back to the really important things like...like...I know. Like writing, yeah that's it. You mean not playing video games and other virtuous endeavors of time wasting? Darn all right. I guess I should be doing something productive with my computer these days.

Yeah, it's been pretty frustrating thee last few days and it really doesn't have much to do with girls. Though that's something for an entirely different discussion.

But for last few days, I’ve been trying to book a plane ticket home and having no luck. I tried almost every travel site known to man, plus many of the airlines websites. I even made a couple of phone calls to airlines themselves and still no luck. Why I am having such a difficulty? Booking a simple plane ticket?

Well you see, I've been trying to book a ticket from Reno, NV to Minot ND and spend as little as money as possible and it's not an easy thing to do. Because to get between the two cities, you have to use at least two airlines and finding a ticket with out costing a fortune is a challenge. Well I finally did it and even avoided some really strange routings, like going from Reno to Vegas then to Omaha, over to Atlanta then to Minneapolis and finally to Minot. A logical routing I do say so myself.

After many searches, I ended up just buying a ticket to Salt Lake City, then using a frequent flyer ticket to get to Minot and now it's all taken care of. So I will be home from the 18th of October to November 3rd. I can't wait for some beer and theology.

Finnally got my computer back!

Well it took a while, I finally got my computer back and for the most part it seems to working fine for now. I'll have to keep an eye and see how it goes.

Well in other things, I'm currently an unemployed bum until the ski resorts opens back up in November. Till then. I need something to keep my bank account up.

Because I'm trying to get home in October with out spending tons of money.

And then's the wanderlust kicking in and the urge to get back into baseball again is there. We'll see where that ends up.

Till then I it's off to get more wood for the house I'm living here in Mammoth. It's amazing how many times you pick up the same piece of wood before you get it to the fireplace.

Ulgy computer problems!

It's no fun to deal with a computer that is on the fritz. Lately my ibook has been crashing for no apparent reason after a just few minutes. It's no fun let me tell you. but now after a long call with the apple tech line. I'm all set up for repair through apple. And now all i have to wait and see what happens. For it's annoying to say the least.
