Today in the mountains it’s heating up quickly.

Already in the 40s and just past 9.

It’s a chores day. I’m doing Laundry, poo patrol, general cleanup before the storm that’s coming in on Tuesday.

Some of the weather reports are saying this storm will be rain. Others are saying that it could drop 18″ of snow in the higher elevations. The problem is, which higher elevations, and what do they consider higher?

Since I’m at roughly 6000ft it might be a big deal.

On the other hand, they might be talking about the ocean facing mountains and where I’m at will get whatever makes it over the mountain behind me. That puppy is 8000ft I think.

It’s possible that the bulk of the storm is just going to crash against the mountain and leave us with nothing more than decorative snow.

That’s the problem with these things, you can’t ever tell what’s going to happen.

So I take the opportunity to handle outdoor chores when I can during the Winter and then I hope I don’t have to go anywhere. It sounds like some of the neighbors below me are doing the same thing.

We’ve had a pretty mild Winter so I’m not complaining, however I’ve been dreaming about warm Caribbean waters, beautiful beaches and diving.

This morning I was dreaming about being naked in the sun, and this big Komodo Dragon looking lizard was walking along a fence coming right at me.

The lizard did a double flip off the fence, stuck the landing took a bow then climbed back on the fence heading the other way. It had a tattoo on its tail that said “Mac”.

I was thinking about how odd it was for a lizard to have a tattoo then I woke up. Somehow the double flip and all that seemed perfectly reasonable.

I don’t know anybody named Mac. I did, but he died many years ago. I’m sure that the Freudian psychologists in the crowd are all sharpening their pencils.

Maybe tonight I’ll have another dream that will shed some light on what exactly my twisted subconscious is trying to tell me.

In the dream I was excited. The sun felt great on my balls. Happily when I woke up I was just as excited. After taking care of that… I feel much better and ready to tackle the day.

I hope your day started out as pleasantly.

This week has been a real winner.

I say that sarcastically.

Monday started with the death of the multifunction printer in the office. For me this wasn’t a big deal. But for the other halfs business it was a major deal.

This meant that it was time for shopping!

Ultimately the replacement printer worked out to be simply an updated model of what was there before. I’d have preferred a laser printer but when you start talking about multifunction color laser printers and then say you want the ability to do duplex printing, the price jumps really fast.

The inkjet printers on the other hand give you a lot of bank for the buck, but the cost of the inks can be pretty steep.

So Monday night saw me integrating the new machine with the network here. Well, that was one thing. The other was that while shopping, well there was the visit to the Apple Store… Uhhh Oh!

Yep, so there is now a new iPad mini in my life. I’d been looking at the iPad mini for a while, I really like the updated machine and IOS.

I’ve had an iPad Gen 1 for awhile I liked that machine a lot, but I couldn’t update it anymore, and frankly the battery was starting to get a little tired.

I like being able to FaceTime with my Mom from not only the my computer but also from my iPad. This little iPad is a perfect size, it’s fast, and just a whole lot of fun.

And the new printer works perfectly with the iPad without needing some hacked together program to print.

Expensive week, but WTF? You only live once.

It looks like spring is very close at hand. The snow is melting and it just “feels” like spring is here.
