And therefore a good time to try to get a new start on some of the things that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I think I’ve actually been doing this goal pretty much straight for the past year, but I’ve just been slack on updating it much of the time. But I figure I want to definitely get out and do something each weekend and have updates on it for all of 2012 before I mark it as complete. So, without further ado…
Yesterday, the girlfriend and I went down to Lewisville to a friend’s house for a New Year’s Eve party. It was a pretty fun get-together, about a dozen or so people.
Then today, we took the dog down to Petsmart to get a couple of things and then over to the dog park for an hour or so. So, one weekend so far this year, one weekend getting out into the world and doing some stuff…
Oh, and the picture is of Ernie, our corgi, all harnessed up and ready to head out to the car…

but I’ve got another one going now. I was up to nearly half a year when I screwed up and forgot to write for a day. Now I’ve got another streak of about a month and a half going, and I try to make it a habit to write every morning first thing when I get up. We’ll see if I can make it to the end of October next year, though…

The guy who wanted all the metal for scrap did come and pick it up on Sunday, so that gets rid of my old printer that doesn’t work any more, a bunch of stereo gear that I was going to fix “someday,” and about a dozen and a half computer carcasses that were in various states of disrepair. I still have about another dozen computers upstairs (I used to work in the computer field, and I sort of accumulated a bunch of them over the years). I’m hoping that I can remove the hard drives and whatever parts might be seriously useful, and then I can give him a call and see if he wants to take the rest of it off my hands.
Also, yesterday I sent an e-mail off to a guy who was looking for old synthesizers on Craigslist. I have a synth module in my old rack that I just never use any more, since I’ve gone mostly computerized in my music. He hasn’t replied back yet, but I’m hoping I can actually get rid of that and maybe make a couple of bucks in the process…
