No riding for me this chilly, windy weekend! I wasn't even doing technology things too much. There were 2 things happenin' this weekend, wood in the eye and scoring a Wii.

Saturday I was working on my shelving project in the garage doing a lot of cutting and putting together. *Most* of the time I'm really good about safety. Wearing safety glasses, treating the saws with respect, unplugging things when I'm done. One time I forgot the glasses and just before the cut thought "it's just a little cut, I'll be fine" - famous last words! Something flew into (onto) my eyeball. Usually if you tear up some it'll go away, but not this time. It felt like I had a splinter the size of Vermont under my upper lid. I let my eyes water, I looked for something in the mirror, I used a Qtip to try to remove whatever I couldn't see to no avail. Finally about 8 Saturday night we went to the med center. They used dye to try and see if I had a scratch, did the same Qtip trick, couldn't find a thing. Then he used what I like to call the "magic eyedrop"! Oh it felt great to have pain relief, even if it was only for 10 minutes. They sent us home $45 dollars later and Sunday it was much better.

Since I was better on Sunday we went to WalMart to do some grocery shopping. I know, I should be supporting Hardings. Actually there are things I must by at Hardings & some I must by at Hardings (blocks of Colby - Walmart, local eggs & meat - Hardings.) Anyway, after becoming frustrated with my slow spouse I left to check out a mini-fridge for the project above. On the way I passed electronics & thought I'd take the 23rd unsucessful look for a Wii. They had 3! Holy Crap! I found the guy, asked if they were really Wii's & told him to wrap it up. I promised the boys I'd get one when I could find one. The FAMILY played bowling, baseball and tennis the rest of the evening. That was pretty cool. Oh, it's also the newest member of the home wireless network - cool.

* 5/1 - quick update - I forgot to metion it takes SD memory cards. (remember the standards posting)
