23.9

I rushed home last night so I could get the rest of the basement prepared for my brother to continue framing today and when I pull into the driveway I hit the remote for the garage door and nothing. Over and over I try (I’m persistent) and nothing. I get out and try the keypad, nothing. Ok, now I’m a little pissed right off the bat since I spent so much time on that damn thing to begin with.

I end up taking the cover off (careful to not get hit in the face with it again), tighten everything up and it starts to work again. Sheesh… guess I’ll have to do this every couple months.

So, I go and finish up in the basement and sit down to watch Sunday’s 2 hour premiere of 24. I turn it on and I see football… oh crap. Football ends up eating 12 minutes of the 2 hours Tivo had recorded for me. So, I watch 1:48 of 24 and miss the last 12 minutes. What the hell happened???? Why doesn’t Tivo know the show started late and adjust automatically? That really pissed me off. I wasn’t home to know the game went long. Oh, and then I grabbed my laptop and went over to fox.com/24 to try to read about what happened and the laptop locked up on me and I had to shut it down. At that point I decided to go low tech and grabbed a book Cdubya had gotten me for Xmas, titled Marley and Me. It’s about a couple who have the world’s worst (and best) dog. No chance of the book locking up on me. I read that while she watched the Golden Globes. I’ll try to catch up with the 3rd and 4th hours of 24 tonight. Hopefully they’ll do that “previously on 24” part at the beginning and show me what I missed.
