Jory Stone's Place

Well, I checked out Sony's website and filled out a RMA form so I can send my earbuds in to get repaired. It's still under warranty so I should only have to pay the shipping.

Today, We cleaned the window air conditioner unit that was in mom's room, it had started to overflow like the other AC. Mom suspects that vacuuming the front of the AC to get the dust off is bringing the water up into the grill, which is covered in dust. So when the water drips down into the pan it brings dust with it and clogs up the drain holes.

To clean the AC, We first took it out of the window, put it in the wagon, and pulled it over to the water hose. Gave it a good rinsing with plain water, then sprayed the front down with bleach and rinsed it right after. I waited about 15 minutes and then sprayed the front with bleach again, instead of washing it off I turned it on and let it run for about 30 minutes.

Finally we put it back into the window, we started taping it down. But found out the foil tape had been outside and had gotten wet and dried. So the tape was very weak, instead of the paper sticking to the sticky side it was sticking to the top of the tape.

With rain on the radar we decided to go into town to get some more foil tape. I drove to Walmart with mom, Lily, and Caleb. At Walmart after getting the foil tape I looked at SD memory cards. They had a 64MB SD card for $20 I almost got it but mom wasn't sure if we had extra money in the bank.

When I got home I went to pricewatch.com and checked out the prices, for $20 I could get a 128MB SD memory card online with shipping. Much better IMO.

Well, this is my first blog entry.

Today I went with mom, Lily, and Caleb for a Dental Checkup for Lily and Caleb.

While getting ready, I found out my Sony earbuds were broken, the left side didn't work. I'm guessing that when I swatted at the wasp that stung me on the neck yesterday I pulled the left earbud out of my ear too fast. It looks like the wire is loose at the inline volume control.

Going to the dentist office to wait for my younger brother and sister wasn't that eventful. I read a Newsweek about President George W. Bush, it caught my eye with a 'No Excuses' headline. I read that he drank and partied a lot until he was 40, then he just decided one day to stop drinking, and he did. He didn't join a club to help him, instead he join a local bible study group. He also started his political career at that time. I also read that he quit smoking in 1986 (not sure) The day he decided to quit, he had a golf game with some friends. About halfway into the game he started having the withdraw symptoms, one of friends asked his wanted a smoke, he said no and keep playing. Though he was hitting the golf balls all over the place.

After the dentist we went to Target, got soynut butter and Ernest In The Army DVD (yay!). Then we stopped by McDonalds (yuck) and got burgers, going past Wal-Mart to get sodas.

Our next stop was the library, they had the Set This Circus Down by Tim McGraw cd I had reserved ready. I think I like track 13, Grown Men Don't Cry, the best.

Our last stop was the bank to deposit my check and have them change my pin number, (when I opened my account they got it wrong). The girl at the desk told me to call the 1-800 number and they would mail the pin to me through the mail, so it would take a few weeks. When I got home (it's a 30min drive) I called the number, after punching in a bunch of menu choices, it put me on hold. Not the best service IMO.
