I'm happy to report that I'm no longer living like a homeless dreg as I've got my H2O bed reconstructed and back in tip top functioning shape. Indeed. Now I know what you're thinking - sleeping on a couch in a heated room at the YMCA is hardly like being homeless, well, okay, I'll give you that much, but still, you're welcome to try sleeping on your couch for 3 nights in a row then report back to me on how you're feeling. Go ahead and try it - if you're man enough that is - I doubt many of you are.

I'm in the process of downloading the latest version of Solaris 10 right now. They give that away right from the Sun website these days! Hah - saves people from having to purchase copies of it from ebay for 20 clams I suppose. That said - I'm into retro computing so I'm not sure if I'll run 10 or 8 as I have copies of 8 at home. I may install 10 first to see how it runs before I make a decision. I hear-tell that Solaris 10 actually comes with a c compiler (imagine that - an OS that comes with a compiler) which is much easier than trying to download and get gcc to work with Solaris 8 I'm guessing - so that's a credit there.

I was eating my morning oatmeal this morning and I hit something very hard and crunchy. Well - I fished around in my mouth for it and threw it in the refuse thinking it was a mutant corn shell fragment or some such thing. Then after eating I went to brush my teeth and noticed that there was a divot in one of the teeth there where once there had been a tooth. That's odd, no? Well, as the cruel winds of fate would have it the tip of one of my tooths came off. Or rather it was the tip of what was a reconstructed tooth that had been repaired by my dentist, the magical Dr. Yamamoto.

See - the tooth was damaged in a bar room brawl horrific car accident years ago that left me lucky to be alive, and the good Dr did such a bang up job that you could nary tell the tooth had been busted by a savage drunken russian bloke who took offense at my suggestion that his dad and his brother were one and the same when my face hit the steering wheel while I swerved to avoid running over a group of nuns who were crossing the road.

But - be that as it may - it now looks like I'll have to ring Dr. Yamamoto once again and pay him quite liberally to once again fix the old tooth. Boy, if it's not one thing it's quite another, eh? The good news is that it doesn't hurt so I'll be able to enjoy the ThanksGiving day feast with no discomfort! Praise Allah for that!
