- Not sure what was going on last night, but I dreamt in Korean.
- I speak precisely six words in Korean – Soju, Mekju, Bulgogi, Kimchi, Kamsahamnida, and Anyanghaseyo.
- Yes, I know, some of those are more than one word.
- Not surprisingly, I have no idea what my dream was about, but looking on the bright side, I did wake up with a stress headache.
- Kentucky people need to learn that they can’t out-stubborn me.
- If I say I can’t do what you need without more input from you, and you don’t give me the input, I’m perfectly happy to wait forever before doing what you say you need.
- It took me four hours of work today to be able to report “Nope, can’t be done”.
- Luckily for me, my co-workers agreed to my work-around, so it wasn’t all wasted time.
- The drive home tonight made me miss North Dakota, where there weren’t enough people to piss me off.
- Boo had his latest kindergarten orientation today. Irish Woman got a bunch of paperwork.
- It included the fee and tuition list for next year.
- He’s going into pre-kindergarten, and we’re paying several hundred dollars for books.
- Yeah, I don’t know either.
- Girlie Bear was selected to go to JROTC summer camp this June.
- She leaves on June 6.
- That’s right, she goes off to an Army summer camp on D-Day.
- She was so proud that she got issued ACU’s today.
- Anyone know how you iron those wrinkle factories?
- And what’s up with boots you don’t polish?
- What are you people doing to my Army?
- My basket at the store tonight contained a 100 foot network cable, a roll of duct tape, flashlight batteries, shoe polish, tortilla chips, and a soda.
- The lady who checked me out asked me where the party was going to be.

/ May 9, 2013Cat5 cable….. So does this mean you’ve had enough of the abomination known as wireless networking and are intending to cable the house?
I did mine many years ago (Cat6 cable & a Netgear Gigabit switch), best thing I ever did for our little domestic network.
I should perhaps explain that it comprises of a fileserver, 4PCs, a networked media player, and my sons laptop & two gaming consoles, so a domestic wireless net was overwhelmed with traffic long ago even without the interference from neighbouring wireless nets.

/ May 9, 2013You don’t iron ACU’s– that the only good thing about them. They who designed them needs to be shot for excessive use of velcro– but the latest version has buttons back on the cargo pockets at least.
Acus are washed with powder detergent and then hung to drip dry. That’s it.
The Army was not ruined by not polishing boots. We figured out other ways to do it like granting too many waivers, promoting everyone, everywhere all the time (The no Major left behind program) and other interesting programs. Not polishing their boots led them to have too much free time to go AWOL, do bath salts, THC and other opiates though.
