Sigh....

This month is really turning out to be an expensive month for me. Not that it is all bad, I went on vacation to Thailand and such, but it seems a whole other string of things is starting to happen. First, there was my "mistake". I mistakenly bought a highend bicycle frame for fairly cheap money. It wasn't somethign I needed, but rather than getting returning it, I decided to turn it into a "project" bike, my hobby for the month. I've spent my time since then shopping for good bicycle parts, which has also added to my woes.

Then the most craziest thing happened when I returned from Thailand. The operating system on my computer at home corrupted itself and will not start now. So, I began using my backup computer (my old IBM laptop) to process my pictures from Thailand. The screen was a bit bright, so my pictures became a bit dark, when I posted them. No bother, I thought, I'll just repost them when I fix my personal computer, later. Horrifically, last night, my laptop hardrive failed. It Bombed. It went Kaputz! I will have to buy a new hard drive now.

Technology.... sigh.... It does keep me employed.

I did finally fill out my travel reimbursement from my last business trip. Surprisingly, I may break even this month. For now, no pictures until I can get my computer back up.
