Badinga Badonga ... Badinga Bonga

 The whole idea behind the cards for playing on the card player in the van was so I didn't get stuck having to listen to the radio.. mostly the problem with the radio is the over abundance of commercials and there are more than plenty.. as I found a couple weeks ago when someone wanted to see what the radio station he wanted to hear sounded like.. It was fine, I had just had my card playing and it had just had a few songs on the radio that were just played on the card.. so I felt good..  I initially wanted like two cards, and I wanted then to hold basically half my music collection each, BUT... T T T TT ,, that isn't how it works.. I could get a card that is 250 GB of space but they have to be a certain file format to play and storage and the whole nine yards as they say..  This wasn't working, so I changed and went with a smaller card, 32GB is the largest I could make work, so I compromised and made the cards sort of conceptual in what they are about.. initially I went w...

 I drive for a living, I drive transit situation and so that means training training training...   One of the things we went though recently (again) was about the Roundabouts.. those fun little London driving things.. they are set to eliminate all wrecks in intersections..  Truth is they are replacing the slow roll though of the stop signs.. You know what I don't get??  Stop signs are considered optional.. you can or don't actually have to stop at a stop sign UNLESS... unless there is a police  presence.. then you must have to make a better effort to stop..  What blows me away is stops signs are optional, while stop lights are gospel..  YOU HAVE TO STOP AND REMAIN AT A STOPPED POSITION UNTIL THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN.. there aparently is no hey I stopped now I can go situation.. except today when a truck did a slow roll through a freshly turned red light.. HE was coming up on the turn to go on the freeway and decided rather than stop..  a slow ro...

 I went walkabout yesterday.. It's what I call just walking my route to walk a little to stay in some form of shape..  And I checked the weather before I went, I do this when it is cloudy and there could be a question about going for a full walk or cutting it short..  Saturday I went short because it was questionable at best.. Sunday I saw where the weather would turn maybe during my walk but I kept an eye on it.. It didn't turn during my walk but a while after.. We knew it would turn, Reed Timmer has a facebook page and tells when and where he will be chasing and we were in an area Saturday, and not as much yesterday although that doesn't mean much, he can only choose an area and hope he is right, sometimes he misses, yesterday he missed, but not horribly bad.. I got home from my walk and decided to binge watch a show I had been watching (Gold Rush.. I started watching it in season one and love watching the Hoffmans with their struggles, it proves that at least that part...

 This isn't me taking bits and pieces from a movie plot and making it my own.. Yesterday actually happened..  Fridays I wish were less work related, and more ... like a day fishing..  but yesterday was kinda rough..  I get up and get going, I figure take the day as it comes, don't force anything, knowing it was going to be a long one, technically speaking..  I would take the dialysis lady to North Platte, drop her off, go back to Ogalalla and pick up another rider and take her to Haxton Colorado. I was actually looking forward to that trip, mostly because I have never actually been to Haxton before, I've been out by there way back in another life doing ... something else (wink wink)..  but never in town, and after dropping off the rider I wanted to cruise the burg as the saying goes, take a look at the metro that is Haxton but because I was in a time crunch, that was out of the question, I had less than five minutes of down time, all of which was spent wizz...

Thursday night I took a friend to her daughters music concert and awards banquet..  and it's one of the first ones of these that I have gone to, event of some sort, where I didn't have a camera to record it, didn't have to have one.. and it was a weird feeling.. Because I was thinking of that when I was there, we got there relatively early and when I would go to one of these things I would go to where I thought the best angle was to get what the event was.. try to do that even if we got there a little later.. It was a strange feeling because while the angle and everything was something to worry about, batteries running out of juice was another and as my camera was getting older I was not looking forward to doing a lot of the events, there is no pause to change batteries out button on life, it just moves on ready or not..  And the last couple of things that I got were with mom as usual and the main reason I did all of it was for mom, there wasn't me, I didn't do any ...
