It's kinda late tonight but I thought I would ramble on before I hit the hay.
today went really quick (not that I am complaining about that) My friend Jeff came over and he helped me get together the x-10 stuff. x-10 is a wireless remote system that allows you to turn on and off lights in various rooms of the house without getting out of your easy chair. That sounds lazy, and it is. But what I am excited about is the light switch. We often times find ourselves sitting in the basement watching TV only to find out that we left the basement light on in our laundry room. That means to turn it off we have to go to the top of the steps and physically turn off the switch. It also works the opposite way as well. I can't tell you the number of times I am in the basement watching TV and ready to go to bed only to discover that I turned the light off. I have to leave the TV on so I can see to get to the top of the steps to turn on the light. Then come back down and turn off the TV so I can go back up to turn off the light and go to bed. Long story short it will save me a lot of time. and since they say time is money I guess this thing will make us money. (ha wishful thinking there).
Do you remember pay toilets? I don't but my wife often has told me the story that the white castles in Jeffersonville used to have a pay toilet. She actually remembers this (I can't remember what I had for supper last night). Well I said that to say this. I was in the rest room at work today and I got up to hear the sound of coins falling into the toilet. I don't know exactly how much fell in because the toilets are the automatic jobs that flush as soon as you get up. so I hear plop plop flush flush. I just hope that it does not mess up the plumbing. I think I'll be okay, but the first time I hear of the toilets flooding the bathrooms I am going to think about the white castle pay toilets from years gone by.
Blessings till I post again.
