Labor Day

Had a lovely day off, caught up with most of my schoolwork, so I didn't have too much to work on, and Allison came home for the weekend! We found a printer/copier/scanner at Costco for 65 bucks, so she brought her laptop home and we got it all set up. The printer came with a disc for Windows XP, and all the new computers run Vista, so we made sure it was working with new drivers etc.

The rib cook off was fun, ate too much, but our favorite won this year. Sadly, it was a chain, I always root for the independent vendor! The news tonight said that 50,000 people came for the cook off, and 100 tons of ribs were served! It now is the biggest BBQ in the world. Come see it some time!

Not much else going on, I am actually caught up on my work, but tomorrow starts another week!

Thanks for reading, I'll be back eventually!

Speaking of computers, we sadly discovered this weekend that one of the computers seems to be dead. I guess it's a bad mother board and it's old enough that Glenn can't find another one so.... I guess a new computer is in our future. Yay, more expenses :-(
Rib cook off sounds like fun. Glad your favortie won even if it was a chain. I'm curious, what chain?
We didn't do anything terribly exciting but more stuff around the house, some shopping etc but it was great to have 3 days to sleep in!!!

Sad day about your computer! We found a REALLY basic laptop for Allison at Best Buy.

Famous Dave's won for the second year in a row, and they also won People's Choice, for a double win! If we had to choose just one place to buy ribs, we would have picked an independent, just because, but they were awfully good at Famous Dave's!
