In other Cincinnati news…

We had a fire. Happened last night, all of the news, radio, TV you name it covered this thing like half the city was burning down, which it wasn’t, just some warehouses in lower Price Hill. Still big news around here.
Chief was very unamused that they broadcast this over the olympics and coverage […]

Delta comes to its senses

Delta has probably just made my life a lot easier.
I’ve been flying oh about once a month but it’s always last minute stuff and taking a direct flight out of Cincy would be great but Delta had a monopoly and always charged a whopping premium. Now they’ve fixed that and this personally means to […]

In tribute to Stone’s recent posts:

Triage?

After the camping trip Sly noticed a funny coming from the truck, She thought it was the brakes, but I pulled off the rear drum and the brakes looked OK but there was a lot of play in the axle. Too much. Aha wheel bearing. But I took a closer look […]

camping weekend

We left Friday morning and went to Paint Creek State Park. We really couldn’t have asked for a better weekend to camp. Maybe a little cold in the mornings but nothing a sweatshirt and fire couldn’t help. It was pretty uneventful except for Chief having an accident on his scooter. The park had a loop […]

Princess-isms

Yesterday afternoon our little neighbor girl (whom I’ll call C) came over to play and left when it was time for us to eat. When we sat down for dinner, Princess asked to pray. She really likes to pray and prays through her day starting at whatever the last event was. She started her prayer […]

Database down!

Think your job is tough? think about the DBA’s and sysadmins caught up in this mess. This easily cost the airlines millions of dollars, not to mention all the unhappy travellers.
I got caught up in this sunday, luckily was able to switch to earlier flight. But since I am a tech I […]

Conversation with Princess

Princess: Mommy, unicorns have one corn
Me: its called a horn not corn. Uni means one so it means they have one horn. I don’t know why its called a uniCORN though.
Princess: oh. Who is Uni?
Me: no one. Remember I said uni means one.
Princess: right. Uni means one. One what?
Me: horn. Never mind. Yes, […]
