Side Bar

I thought the sidebar was kind of boring, so I added some content to it(three items). Let me know if you have trouble viewing any of it or if it slows the loading of the site too much. oh, yeah you may want to check the footer as well. enjoy

COWs

At work we have these "Computer on Wheels." We were calling them cows, but I guess someone took that the wrong way and IST is not suppose to call them cows. The users have no problem continuing to call the cows. I had a couple of them that had problems today. One someone had a paper on it that said do not use - Mad Cow and that it was called in to IST. Another said that it was a sick cow. When I took them back to my office to work on them, we all got a laugh out of it, then we were reminded that we still are not alowed to call them cows.

Sitting at the car shop

I brought my truck in to get it safty inspected today. He said that it passed, but the back breaks just bearly pass. He also said that they look like they are the origianal breaks. So I figure 101,000 miles isn't too bad for breaks and might as well have them replaced while I am here. They said that the front breaks are half worn so they are fine. They said that these trucks go through front breaks twice as fast as the back. Now I have not done anything with the front breaks since I got the truck ( it had 48,000 miles on it when I got it), so they must have replaced the front at the dealership.

This is a nice idea, providing wireless access to those who are waiting. Wish I had known about it before. All I need now is VPN access to work and I would be all set.
