New plogger actually seems kinda fun to use now.  I am maintaining in classes, barely (shouldn't be here) I shoulda been an engineer.  Since starting the computer hobby, and now the automotive hobby, I am never happier than sitting down, drinking a cold beverage, and trying to figure something out.  Maybe one day I'll even get paid for it.  
Family situation is getting no better.  If I can keep from spending all my cash on car parts, I would REALLY like to leave this place.  Two car garage is still nice.  Almost left it for a house that had a single & central air.  I don't need no stinkin' a/c.  I don't think the place is gonna get knocked down for the freeway like landlords claim either.
Whole lotta socio-/psychological/metaphysical chit I was gonna talk about today, but can't remember now.  Maybe I'll post later.
