Ok so we are at 355 cm of snow this winter while the top record is 444.1 cm we are number two and we don’t want to try harder. They were predicting maybe 10 cm on Saturday coming but now they think it might be the worst storm of the winter whatever that means. The people that got into snow plowing for profit and don’t have cm limits are losing money and going out of business. I am surprised that people expect to have all their snow removed quickly for $250-$400 no matter how much snow. One man was saying that his crews have been out 60 days so far plowing. There has to be give and take by customers and suppliers. The snow banks are getting awfully high – in my back yard the snow is up to the top of the fence – 5 feet. This last snow fall was a mix of ice pellets, rain and snow and it was heavy. I had a hard time shoveling.
The Senators gained a single point losing in overtime to San José Sharks. They at least forced them to come back from deficits. At their current pace, the Senators might even miss the playoffs. Boston is 4 points behind with 2 games in hand and apart from a 10-2 spanking by the Capitals they are on a roll. As much as I’d like to see them do well in the playoffs I don’t see them pulling it together and going very far. They will have to get a goalie in the off season because Ottawa’s problems from the start have been in goal. This team would be unbeatable with a good goalie. I like Darth Gerber ;-) he’s good most of the time but he is fragile. Razor is a distraction and he thinks he doesn’t have to work to have the position of number 1. He has to go.
We’re supposed to be going to Morrisburg to visit on Saturday but with the potential storm I think we will miss out on Supper. We will have to get Hannah on Monday – she’ll be here for the spring (?) break.
I bought an OEM copy of Microsofts Home Server. I am using my old computer that wasn’t working all that well with XP Home. I dropped the ATA hard drive and used the 2 SATA drives and a WD Mybook external drive. I have over 700 gb of server storage. I am moving my common files like music, photos, videos and my administrative files (email and money) to the server. Setup was very easy and now it’s just setting up the files the way I want. The server can backup and restore your PC as well. With shipping and taxes it was $190 which is just a few dollars more than Vista Home Premium.
