Movies

I've really gotten into watching a lot of great movies over the past year and a half. It all started when I subscribed to Netflix. At first I made my choices by selecting more current movies, but I kept watching more and more classics. Seeing one film kind always seems to open up a few more to watch and my queue certainly grew. Well, my queue has been right below 500 for quite a while now, and well, that is all you can add. It doesn't help matters that they have quite a few movies that you can watch online now. I think I will attempt to review some of these and see how that goes.

First of all

I have a blog that I started a few years ago at Mountainsmoke.

Occasionally, it comes up with some problems for me to fix, so I'm not sure how long I will keep my blog there as opposed to just posting here. I may look into transferring all of the old entries to this site, and hopefully that can be done without too much trouble.

New Computer

I got all the parts to my new computer. :D First computer I put together by myself. It's a P4 2.8 MHz with 512 MB of RDRAM with a 533 front side bus and a Radeon 9700 Pro Video card. All in all, it was pretty easy to put together. Very nice features and software. I can see what my cpu temperature is and how fast the fan is running. Now to put Battlefield 1942 on here and see what the graphics look like. :D I'll try to post a pic later so you all can see it.

Wrestling to Politics

Jesse Ventura isn't the only former wrestler to turn into a politician. A masked wrestler won an assembly seat in Japan. And apparently he won't remove the mask in the political arena. Maybe politics and entertainment are getting too blurred?

Construction Worker

I got to run a backhoe today for a few hours. First time I have ever run anything bigger than a tractor. It was scary fun. I wish I had a picture to show you. The purpose of the backhoe was to build a wall using concrete blocks that weighed 2,000 lbs a piece. We stacked about 30 of them and back filled it. I only ran the backhoe for back filling. It took some getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, I started doing more than one thing at once. There are lots of controls. The arm has ten controls alone. (5 functions that move two ways) And of course since I was outside for more than an hour, I got sunburned. :-/
