I dropped my wife and kids off at the airport yesterday.\u00a0 They are on a two-and-a-half month trip to Croatia.\u00a0 I plan on doing a bunch of stuff to keep me from going mental^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h occupied, and I’ll let you all (OK, this is mostly for Bojana) in on what I’ve done.<\/p>\n
So, after the drop-off, I went to Canadian Tire and bought myself a new drill and a sanding bit for one of my upcoming projects.\u00a0 Since it was Canadian Tire, I also got pool shock and a stand-alone Lightning McQueen wading pool for Trevor and Owen that was on sale (shhhh!).<\/p>\n
Since I’m alone, I intend to not use the AC _at all_ this summer.\u00a0 To that end, I moved ping 2.0, my beloved iMac to the basement, where I can bask in the cool, cool air.\u00a0\u00a0 I thought I was going to have to bring the infrastructure down as well, but the wireless has full bars where the computer is, so I’m not going to bother.<\/p>\n
Paul and Charissa<\/a> are also away this week, one to WWDC<\/a> and the other to training in Dallas. Mike, their usual house-sitter-dog-walker-cat-wrangler was only available late Sunday night, so I walked and fed Chewie.\u00a0 He is cute and fluffy and a fun dog to hang around with.<\/p>\n Before bed, I emptied out the PVR, as another thing I don’t intend on doing this summer is lounging in front of the TV.\u00a0 I’m returning it this week and canceling cable, at least for the summer.<\/p>\n
