1. Completely dismantle and move all the network equipment out of a client's old location to their new location, tearing up the floor / ceiling and laying down cables if need be.
2. Go clothes shopping for my trip to Europe this summer.
3. Get my (ex) girlfriend moved into her new apartment and figure out what she's going to do about a car (her mom's being a b*tch and confiscating it).
4. Figure out a way to get my damn overdue paycheck... company's a month late shipping it.
5. Get everything unpacked and straightened out from all the crap I had at school. All of my clothes, computer, and everything else is just sitting in boxes in my basement.

Gonna be a busy week!

Hell, that's more than 5. I've got more, but I'll stop there.


1. How's that going? I'm considering doing that as well... Are you using a form or did you make your own? Difficult?
2. We always just sectioned off a warm corner of the hen house with a few posts, plywood for a lid wrapped in chicken wire. :)

I'll show you some pics when I get them off the camera. I got my concrete mixer back, so it's not the worst job in the world, but I'm my arms, legs, and back are still pretty sore. :eek: I've got a form (cost about $15) that just about fits one 80 lb bag of concrete, 2'x2'x2". 62 bags doesn't seem to go very far, we'll need to add on to it when we get the time and ambition (14'x14' + 6'x8' with one bag left over). I'll give you a few pointers if you decide you want to try it. Once you get the routine down, it goes pretty quickly.

Yeah, I just need to dig through my barn and see what I have to make it with. In the past, I've just put the adult chickens in my garden for the spring (they make excellent rototillers) and keep the chicks in the henhouse by themselves, but I've got some stuff I don't want them digging up in the garden, so I'm keeping them in the henyard. I don't want to turn them out with the flock until they're quite a bit bigger so the others don't pick at them. I'm kind of liking having them in the house, they're going to be REALLY tame. :)
