Well the wedding is over and Liz and I have finally gotten a dog. His name is Bogart and he came from the Delaware Humane Society. He is a lab husky mix or at least that is what they tell me. He has the face of a lab and the colors of a husky. Here are a few pics.
Why is water one of those things that we all need yet such a pain in the a**. I came home Friday to a nice river running down the driveway. As my heart drops into my stomach knowing that it is coming from inside the house, I rush in to find a pipe had frozen and burst showering my living room and attic with water. The worst part is that I do not know how long it was running but I can only imagine that it was running all day. After shutting off the water to the house I called the insurance company and a plumber. The plumber came out and after telling my which arm and leg I needed to give him to pay for the repair he fixes the affected pipe, the whole time remarking that he couldn’t believe how bad the damage was. So the plumber comes and goes and in comes the friendly neighborhood water clean-up crew. They proceed to rip down all the insulation and pieces of drywall from the room as well as the lovely Pergo floor in the kitchen. The have setup dehumidifiers and fans to dry the walls and ceilings. So now my house sounds like a wind tunnel, which makes sleeping a little hard. Hopefully they fans and stuff wont last much longer but there is no guarantee of that. I will post more when I find something out until then enjoy the pics.

So having never truly used Craigslist for much besides the occasional browsing of listings. I decided to put up old washer and dyer on there to see what happened. Since I had no use for these and just wanted them gone I put them up under the free section. As luck would have it within the first 2 hours I had 9 responses. I emailed the first guy back and within 4 hours of posting the ad they are both gone. The guy came by with his trailer and picked them up and now I have space in our spare room. So thank you craigslist for helping me clean up my house.
So Liz and I decided to carve pumpkins this year. I think they turned out pretty good. Mine is the Darth Vader on the right and she did the Storm Trooper on the left.

So living on the East coast means that I am not able to get all of the Ohio State football games. I know that they are being shown on the Big Ten Network, but since Comcast won’t show the network what am I to do. This sucks all I want to do is watch the OSU game at home, and I am not even offered the change to subscribe to the one channel that will show the game. So until Comcast gets their head out of their arse and picks up the channel I am forced to watch the play by play on my computer and hope that ESPN will show some clips. So come on Comcast don’t make me switch to the dish, although this will give me more HD channels, HMMMMM. Maybe it is time to start looking at a dish, but then I lose my high speed internet. I guess I will just have to wait for Verizon to complete FIOS in my neighborhood so I can get the channels I want and high speed internet.
