I am so stoked about getting back on the Pullman Fire Department. I cannot wait to sign the paperwork and get started on the things I need to go through before I can respond. I am so excited.<\/p>\n<p>I spent the day at work with my thumb firmly planted. I did get to go to lunch with Peter. We went to Spud&#8217;s in Kirkland. We talked about our idea from last week. We were talking about the possible issues we would run into. It is like the old days with Peter in many ways. But I still have a hard time looking him in the eye.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch I talked to Shawn, who is in town for a few days, about video editing. It has lit another fire under me to get my stuff going. I have been wanting to do it for a long time. I found some tutorials for using Adobe Premiere. They are all video files. I watched one and it was good. I downloaded everyone I could find. I was also informed that I would be getting a dev box, which I knew, but my old box was supposed to stay, but I was told they are going to blow it away. So I spent the evening going through the box, deleting stuff and moving other things to the server so I could put it back on my box when it was done being reimaged. I hate going through it. I hate to change my box once I have it set up.<\/p>\n<p>I left work around four-fifty, because there was nothing more to do. On my way home I had to get some gas. I was there and this weird guy was washing the widows of his old van with two squeegees at once. We was wearing a military BDU jacket with a bunch of what looked like misplaced ribbons and metals. He came over and asked if I could spare some money so he could get to North Bend. The guy who was in the driver seat seemed like a zombie. He did not move. It was like he was not animated at all. Really strange.<\/p>\n<p>I got back on the road, and the total trip time from work to home was an hour. I hate this commute so much. It will be nice to not have to do it everyday.<\/p>\n<p>I carried the TV I won on the short bus upstairs by myself. It was super heavy. I set it up in my room and took my VCR, DVD, and TV set out to the shop to hook up to the computer I have out there for video editing. I turned on the computer and found Windows ninety-Eight was in the middle of an install. That was the last state of the computer when Jon turned it off before he gave it to me. It could use a gig of RAM. Right now it has half of that. The biggest problem is the small ten gig HD. I am going to need to buy another one. I should get at least eighty to one hundred gig, if not more. I was not able to get anything going on the computer because it did not have the correct OS. I will have to install a new OS with some other upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>But I hope next week I can start with my video editing. I went to my room and watched some TV on my new TV set before drifting off to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was like waiting for Christmas morning for me.
