I am excited for tomorrow is the Cougar season opener against Auburn. I hung out at the office for some time getting some bugs fixed and talking to Barb some more about home loans. With the second house off the market now I am left to look at other options which could include building a house or maybe buying a duplex and renting out half of it.<\/p>\n<p>Dave and I decided to see Wicker Man. It looked like it could be a good movie. I went home to have dinner before getting ready for the movie. I was showing my mom some of the houses online. I set up my computer and I was going to use the GPS navigation on my Streets and Trips to see if I could figure out how to use it.<\/p>\n<p>It worked pretty well. It would give you warning about turns and it would update your progress. But I was bummed out that it did not recalculate your trip if you went a different way than the directions showed.<\/p>\n<p>The movie was one that I was really waiting for it to get scary and see where it was going. The only surprise was the ending&#8230; Spoiler here&#8230; When Nicholas Cages&#8217; character was captured by the people. They did not show him getting his legs broken, but it made it sound like that is what was happening.<\/p>\n<p>Then they put him in the top of this really big wicker man. It was going to be set of fire as an offering to the gods. I was waiting for his backup to get there and save him in the nick of time. But as the fire got close to him and then started burning him I realized that he actually died in the movie. Not what was expected there.<\/p>\n<p>After the movie Dave and I sat in my truck and talked about the houses I looked at. He suggested that the price of one duplex that was under two-hundred-thousand looked pretty good and included a two car garage.<\/p>\n<p>I was also showing him the GPS stuff. That is when I found a way to have it recalculate on the fly. You have to press a button, it does not do it automatically. I thought that was really cool. Now I am happy with the GPS and Streets and Trips I got.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been cruising along at work.
