Moonshado's Mammoth Monday Musing

A fine weekend it was. Two whole days off. I had planned on going down to Portland but, because of the snow that was called off. What a same as in my neck of the woods Saturday morning was a beautiful one. Amity and I got up early and headed to Bangor to have some breakfast and do a little shopping. Oh I guess I should be more accurate to have breakfast and go to Best Buy so I could buy my remote. (more on that to come). We came back home and played a some games for a bit and Amity decided to take a nap. I decided to play with my new remote control. Ah well you know how guys are.

Sunday, I slept in which was great I don’t get to do that nearly as often as I would like. So I woke up all bright eyed and bushy tailed at 8am, went down stairs to well you guessed it fiddle with my new remote. Amity came down at about 10:30 and we cooked breakfast together. She has decided to get over her fear of cooking by cooking with me so she can learn! Woo hoo, I was going to make her make dinner one night this weekend but she was saved by the bell. Phil came over around 1pm and we played a few games of Killer Bunnies, YES another person brought into the Bunny Circle! Oh, how did Amity get out of cooking dinner? Well Phil wanted pizza, the little store in town make great and cheap pizza! So that’s what we had. Well It was snowing pretty good so we all ended our fun around 9pm I went and plowed and Phil went home and boom the weekend was over.

I did also want to give a mention about Amity today in my blog as she did something for me this weekend that was just wonderful and I told her it was blogging material. Every winter I get really dry and cracked feet which sometimes crack and bleed, yes I know I would take better care of them with creams, salves, ointments, and lotions. However I’m lazy about that kind of thing and by the time I think about it, its too late. Well Amity saw me hobbling and inquired about my feet, the angel she is put lotion my feet not once, not twice, but three times. Oh my gosh it was heavenly. I must say any woman who will slather my craggily feet with lotion should be put up for saint hood. Love you babe!

What all this talk a but nothing that resembles Moonshado’s Mammoth Monday Musing,

Relax my friends do not despair as it is here and I said earlier there would be more about it…… The Remote how far we have come. I remember when I was a kid the first remote control I ever had was for a VCR and it was ATTACHED to the VCR with a wire. So yes you could control it from anywhere within 10 feet of the VCR. Ah however the couch just happened to be 12 feet from the VCR. Oh well…. Well this weekend I bought the Harmony ONE remote and it is FANTASTIC. It can control up to 15 different devices, and you can choose from over 15000 different devices. It even controls my air conditioner. And well if a device is not listed it can even learn. Now remote controls are smart! Yikes. Well and way so I get it all set up and it has a touch screen etc its like a little computer. So I have it set up I go into the living room and start to test the different functions. Well after you press an “activity” for the first time it does the action then comes up and asks you “Did that function as you intended” well for my DVR it did so I hit “Yes”, I moved on to my HD-DVD player… Hit the button…..”Did that function as you intended” and well it did not. I got a little scared here however I guess that was unnecessary. As I hit “NO” it said, “Hold on while I attempt to fix the problem” bam 10 seconds later everything working like I wanted and again it asks “Did that function as you intended” “YES” I love this thing.

Here is the muse how cool would it be if life was like that… you do something and it just comes out wrong, and all you have to do is hit a button and it corrects it’s self.

Officer - Mr. Watts did you know you were speeding?
Mr. Watts – No I’m sorry I was paying attention to the road, I’m quite sorry if I broke the speed limit.
Officer – Here is your ticket Mr. Watts, slow down.

“Did this work as you intended?”

“NO”

“Hold on while I attempt to fix the problem”

Officer - Mr. Watts did you know you were speeding?
Mr. Watts – No I’m sorry I was paying attention to the road, I’m quite sorry if I broke the speed limit.
Officer – Thanks, for paying attention to the road, next time watch your speedometer as well. Have a nice day.
Mr. Watts – Thanks you too!
