I wanted to bury the last plan update I made, because it's not really all that fun to read someone's ranting. I think I need a vacation. Time to step away from the IMA and get a breather. I've essentially been working w/o stop since last August. Come the end of the month, I'll have almost a full year here; a nice change from the year before. So, I need a vacation. When should I take it? What should I do with the time? A few days to work on the house would be wonderful. I would like to get the basement rewired before too long, and a nice workbench area for woodworking and tinkering would be great. Camping would be nice. Meghan and I are planning on doing something this weekend to that effect. We're thinking somewhere along the Northshore that would allow dogs along (since we now have Colby, my sister's dog handed down to us from our parents). Lesson learned: Don't leave the attic open for your pets to use as a bathroom. *sigh* Anyway, back to the grind. If you really want to read my rant, go to "oldplans" on my homepage.
