Life Day 21598: “Vegging” in Vegas

August 31, 2006 on 8:57 pm | In On The Road |

After arriving in the wee hours on Wednesday AM , I went to bed. I woke up somewhere around 0700. After breakfast, I started organizing my time off. High on the agenda was getting the MMM bathed and groomed. I called a couple of new places, trying to find someplace closer to the WWW than the PetSmart in Henderson, where the groomers are almost always booked up for a week in advance, but to no avail. I finally called the PetSmart on Tropicana and Eastern, where I used to take them before they closed the Veternary part of the store. They had a few openings for Thursday. I opted for a 1300 appointment. After running a few errands, I began “geeking” about noon. Everything was going along fine until about 1800. All of a sudden, after publishing a Post on my BLOG, everything went to huge, extra collossal size type. I tried everything I could think of to remedy the situation (which isn’t much). I went in to the Control Panel and reset everything to “default”, but nothing worked. I finally gave up in frustration, and went to dinner. I tried the Swiss Steak at the Black Bear Diner. Like everything i’ve tried there, it was delicious.
On Thursday, I piddled around until it was time for the MMM’s appointment with the groomers. It takes about 3 hours to groom them, so I had lunch at a pretty good Mexican fast-food restaurant the name of which I forget ( it is in the same shopping center as PetSmart), then waited in the parking lot. After they were done and they had their “shopping spree” in Petsmart, I went to Fry’s with my computer to see what the ?@%# I did to screw it up. After a 1/2 hour wait, I finally got to see a technician. I explained as accurately as my limited computer vernacular allowed what I was doing when the computer “went insane”. It took him about 20 minutes to figure out what was wrong and restore it to normal. Somehow, I managed to get to ‘applications’ competing with each other for control. DON’T ASK ME HOW I DID IT, OR EVEN IF I DID IT!!! Anyway, it’s all better now and that’s what counts. After that, I returned to the WWW. The MMM looked so good after their tonsuring, that I couldn’t resist taking this picture of them on their walk after returning to the WWW.

After this, I geeked for a while, then had dinner there. I went to bed about midnight.
