Hip Recall?
Written by admin on October 29, 2010
So the phone rang yesterday morning and it was my Grandmother. She told me she was watching the news and saw something about a depuy hip recall and being she doesn’t have any internet, she wanted to call me and have me look into it. So, being the nice grandson that I am, I did just that and got her the info she wanted. She actually doesn’t have any hip issues, it’s my Great Grandmother who this could effect and you know if my Grandmother doesn’t have the internet, my Great Grandmother surely doesn’t! hah
Anyway, it was a good thing I checked on this…I’m sure it’ll give both my Grandmother and Great Grandmother a better piece of mind knowing what they wanted to know.

Finding A Good Blog Host
Written by admin on October 29, 2010
There is nothing like an important blog host. I don’t know why, but, so many bloggers skimp out on this and I can’t figure it out. So many times I get an e-mail telling me to visit a particular blog or just find one during my daily surfing of the net and the blog is down. And not only is it down, but, it’s down for quite some time. Why don’t people buy premier and high quality blog hosting? You invest all of this time…all of this energy into making a good blog and then it goes down for hours every week or so…I just don’t understand it. I guess I’m a little sensitive to the subject since when I first started out blogging, I wasn’t very aware. I just picked some random host and ran with it. I couldn’t figure out why my blog had so many issues. Too much traffic? It would shut down. Some odd thing I installed on my blog, the hosting company would shut it down. It was insane. So, take your time and find a good blog host. It’ll be worth it.

New Bed For Cabin
Written by admin on October 20, 2010
As many of you know, and some of you that don’t, I purchased (well, time shared, if you will) a new cabin with a buddy of mine up in Big Bear. We decided we’d split the furnishing duties with me getting the bedroom.
I’ve always been a huge fan of the old wooden look in cabins, so, I’ve decided that I will be getting two log beds for the bedrooms. It’s a really weird shaped cabin, the bed room (while only one of them) is massive and it will easily fit two queen size beds if I wanted for maybe even three doubles. I’m not really sure which route I want to go with yet, but, I do know I want them to be a log bed to go with the overall theme of the place.
I don’t think we’ll ever have more than three people up there…eh, tough call!

Crazy Fight At The Beach
Written by admin on October 20, 2010
So this morning it had rained pretty good and I thought it might be a good time to head down to the beach. I love going after a nice storm since all sorts of neat shells and marine life have come up on the beach. Anyway, as I’m down there and parking, I see these two surfers screaming at each other. From the short sample size I got, I’m guessing one surfer dropped in on the other and that annoyed the other. It’s a pretty bad thing to do in the surfing world, so, I can understand the one guy being upset. Anyway, after about two minutes of bickering the one guy takes a swing. Oh boy. It was broken up within moments but the cops ending up coming and both guys got in some pretty nasty trouble. I think it’s pretty clear the one guy who took the first swing is going to need to look into some Criminal Attorneys as I’m guessing the other will be pressing some charges. Crazy morning!

Bed Bugs In Our Fire Departments? Yup
Written by admin on October 5, 2010
Bed bugs have forced the shut down of Fire Station 1 in downtown San Diego. The 11 people who would normally be manning that station are spending Monday night sleeping at other facilities so they are still able to respond to calls.
Exterminators with Cartwright Termite and Pest Control vacuumed and treated the sleeping quarters with insecticide during the day, and were inside the station Monday night fogging the infested areas. Twenty-five beds were propped up and electrical outlets were yanked out of the walls to give the bed bugs nowhere to hide.
The parasites were discovered Sunday morning, after first responders woke up with bug bites Sunday morning. Crews spent the day washing their gear, rigs, and vehicles.
Since July, the city has spent $46,000 to treat six other fire stations infested with bed bugs. The estimate for this latest job is upwards of $25,000.
