I spent this morning chatting on the phone with a nice young guy from the Philippines. He wanted more money than I wanted to give him and I think we worked it out.

And no, he wasn't getting me off! He represented my web hosting site, the folks that maintain this blog and a bunch of other sites I've created over the years. I get this kind of bill once a year and this time it was $200.

It got me to thinking what the hell am I doing... so I called them. He told me that since I was a long time good customer we could bring the bill down significantly. I was about ready to tell them to turn the whole thing off so he had my interest.

The first thing we needed to do was create a backup of oldmanjim.com on my laptop, then rebuild everything on a new platform. As a result, a backup has been running all morning and hopefully there's enough room on my hard drive.

He's going to call me tomorrow and we'll proceed from there. Yea I was ready to flip the script and shut down this drivel of nonsense from my brain to the world. I suppose if my hard drive fills up, we will.

I need to go shopping since I'm out of food but I don't trust my brain to drive over the bridge into Florida. I wish there was some online service you could check some boxes and get food delivered to you. There probably is, maybe I could even get off.
