Well I am back to tell more of what has happen over the last 3 weeks.  I think

It is was 3 or was it 4, never mind. When we got home (on the 15^th) and unpack the truck, we did some clean up around the house and rested. I reset up my home computer, which a friend had fixed (both theDVD and CD/RW had stopped working) and checked it out. The same friend had also given me a new computer ( A Dell) so I could start a freelanc vido editing job. O btw does any one have KVM switch. I have two computers and only one, keyboard, mouse and monitor. Sunday the 16^th, we went to church down the road from us. It was ok but, the pastor was on vacation and there was sub in for him. We will have to try it again later. Well after church, we had to leave early has my wife started to feel bad, me and my little girl started mowing the lawn.   She does ok

But, she ran over one of the sprinler heads. It was not damage but, still.

Later while showing off to her on how to mowe I backed in to our water stand pipes and broke them. I have feeling I don’t want to see what my water bill is going to be. We ran down to Home depote, got replacement pipes and fitings.

Which like the pipe I broke  are PCV and the glue for PCV. Fited them togetter and glued them but, I had tried to glue a broken pice togetter with a fiting and was getting pin hole leaks. So put more glue on it and let it wait over night. Which ment no water for the nigth and a unhappy wife. Well more tomorro.

Well I am back and I now have a Grand Baby boy born Aug 22, at 12:19.  Well now I that I have that down, here is what I/We have been doing.  On Tuesday July 28, after finshing looking for work.  We left for my Son’s, stopping at my in-laws on the way down.  On the 29^th, Wensday we got to my son’s apartment.  Which was a 3 room apartment (4 if you counted the bathroom), all of which were small.  4 persons (one of which was 10 year old girl) in this small apartment.  I had to share his computer (which was slowwwww in coming up) for my job searching (So that’s why you have not heard from me is such a long time).  I had my lap top but, the keyboard is broke (L & K) wont work.  I can get around the problem with but, it is a pain.  Well after dropping off out stuff at my son’s we stopped over to my dauthers house.   Found her still with child (no grand son yet).  She was hopping to have home birth, she had a mid-wife all readly for it but the kid wont come.   So from the 29^th  ot July to the 7^th of August.  It was same thing.  Waiting, for kid to come, looking for work when I could use my son’s computer and trying not to drive my son, nuts (I think he is ok, as he is still talking to me.).  Well a lest I got to go to my old church again and to take the little girl to beachs.  Got a phone call from a company that checks out your resume to see if you were telling the trueth for a un-named company, while we were there (at the beach).   On the 8^th and 9^th, me and my little girl went back home to mow the lawn and take in the mail.  We left my wife a my son’s and came back late on the 9^th.  Continued the doing the same as before (Waiting, for kid to come, looking for work when I could use my son’s computer and trying not to drive my son, nuts).  Until the 15^th when way had to come home.  Well more on this story and more (like me breaking the water pipes to the house) tomorro.

One week 3 days and still no grand baby.  But trying to do more than just waitting. Usual day routing has been get on son's computer and look for work.  Go over and try to clean dauther's pool (it is still green) and bug her on the kid (only kiding).  Now having got that out of the way, it has come to me that I have not shown any geekness about me here.  Just my tail of woe (and I have alot of it, Oh I am doing it again).  Well how about one of my cover letters:
