Weekend Update
Posted by Patrick on Sunday, October 08, 2006Saturday
Having gone 24 hours without any sort of local chemical fire, we decided to venture out (and luckily for us, 50 miles away from the town with the fire) to the house. And why not? We haven't closed on it yet, but we've signed and initialed a few things, so we figured that earned us a look-around. We had hoped to run into some neighbors but none were out. 
We checked out the yard post-rain storm (no muddiness or flooding) and the crawl space under the house (nice and dry) and peeked in some windows. We also tested the driveway for Celica Compatibility and that worked out well... although I think I'll have to pull in and and back out very slowly as there's a drop off at the end of the driveway. I fear I may leave some silver paint if I'm not careful. But it beats parking in an apartment complex where random people could ding your door.

I spent some time backing up stuff to an external hard drive this weekend. I'd been using a second desktop to back up stuff, but I tend to leave it on all the time, and that tends to some dollars to our electric bill. By using a cable to plug in another hard drive, I only leave one machine on now.
For those of you who read my earlier post on iTunes, I switched back to version 6. The new features just weren't' worth it. All I want to do is listen to music, I shouldn't have to fight with it.
Sunday
Today we started filling out the paper-work for our loan. There's a lot of information that the bank wants. Luckily Kate's on top of things in the organization department. My pre-Kate system of leaving all financial documents in a tall pile for months on end wouldn't have worked well here. We also went up to the apartment people and gave them our "we're moving out" notice.
Kate's a quilting machine right now with her mad sewing skills.
