Software update complete.

Well, today I managed to get over to Knox city to pick up my phone from the 3 shop. I got home and attempted to synchronize my phone with my outlook, but I can't get it to work! Looks like maybe I will have to get everyone's contact details again. just what I didn't want to have happen.

The long arm of the law.

I had a little scrape with the long arm of the law on Saturday night, following dinner at the Manhattan. I was driving Chris's car from the restaurant to Grandma's house when I got ushered into the booze bus. They asked me to blow into the machine so that they could test my breath, so I did..... and guess what he did! He asked for my license and said that I had blown a reading on the breathalyser. So I had to get out of the car, and follow the officer to the booze bus where I would have to take another breath test, on one of the proper machines (not the hand-held ones). I waited for what must have been about 45 minutes outside in the freezing cold before they could take me into the booze bus. I was wearing only a light shirt, and some jeans, so by the time I got into the bus, I was most appreciative of the heating! Once I finally got around to blowing on the proper breath testing machine it read 0.00 BAC, so I was safe to drive away, but oh boy, what an adventure! I don't want to have to go through that again.

Quite amusing

Here is an amusing little snippet that I found on Dwain's blog: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/research/recording_head/pr/PerpendicularAnimation.html

Jules is going home, and Di is having a birthday! Smile for the camera.

Our rover crew. (As serious as we will ever be.)

Di had her 'boot' party on Saturday night, and we all got the chance to properly farewell her from our rover crew.

Brendan is back from the USA, clearly, nothing has changed!

Lots of the relos came along for the lunch, feasting upon unlimited pasta and pizza.

More family bonding was in order to celebrate Grandma's brother's birthday. Great Uncle John (I think)

Shane turned 18, and Nicole celebrated her 20th birthday, so it was the perfect excuse to goto the manhatten hotel for a meal. They have an all you can eat buffet, which costs $20, yet they charge $10 for a jug of soft drink!

Dad bought a car. A 2004 Statesman. It's very slick, but I have not had the chance to ride in it or drive it yet.

Soon I will. I have ordered that sexy little white box, and am waiting with baited breath for it to be delivered. It's supposed to land on my doorstep around the 8th of August.
