HOA, DVD and Shopping
How's that for a subject line.
To start off this fine Tuesday I have no update from the HOA. It's been 5 days since I submitted my request to put a window A/C unit or fan in the side window upstairs. Our "design" STUPID standards say they can only be in the rear. Well, you know I don't have rear facing upstairs windows. No word on whether or not the highly esteemed Grand Pubah of the HOA has granted me permission to cool down. I suspect the goobers will wait until Summer is over. Gee I wonder what they would do if I waited to pay my dues? Oh wait, I know!!! They'll fine me and put a lien on my house. They are a piece of work.
On to the DVD. Remember I mentioned that Mom had sent out the old home movies to be made in to DVDs? She did this at Costco. Well, I just got the DVD in the mail, yesterday. I popped it in on my really slow computer. LOL, it ran but I just popped around and looked at bits and pieces. Too slow to put up with the stop and start. But, it's so cool and I think I'll be able to grab short bits to share with you. But you will have to be patient. I have to do this on my laptop. It's a lot faster. I'll work on this on my vacation. The DVD is 1968 - 1979. Most of it is my brothers but still fun. For most of this time period I was no longer at home. But, the next DVD is going to be almost all me. Good stuff and I will share some of it with you guys.
Next is shopping. Yes, I am looking forward to going shopping. Normally I despise shopping and avoid it at all costs. But this is an exception. I just found out that we have TWO Natural Foods Warehouses just a couple of miles from me. Check out their website. It looks like it could be a gold mine. Maybe, if I can, I can take some pics or a video. We'll see how it goes.
That's about it for today. Counting down for vacation. Just pray nothing blows up and I can do all the things I want to do.
Oh one more thing. What would you do? Remember my A/C repair on July 5? I paid for it and paid for an annual maintenance contract. Well, no call from the company to set up the contract BUT the check hasn't cleared the bank. Would you call or would you hold your breath and wait until the checked cleared?

I'd like to know exactly how your Mom got the DVDs from movies. Were they 8mm movies? I want to do that with some of mine. It would be great and my kids would love it.
