still no license plate
I still do not have the license plate. I am kind of pissed about that. Because if I do not get it by tomorrow I have to go back to the VW place to ask if they can issue me another temporary plate. And it is my time and my gas I have to use to go back and forth for that…. I have my fingers crossed that I get the plate tomorrow. ~**~ ~**~ I hab mein Nummernschild immer noch nicht. Bin etwas...

license plates for my car
When I bought my car at the beginning of this month the Volkswagen dealer ordered my license plates and they also gave the temporary ones, which I am using right now. That was actually something good but my temporary ones will expire on Tuesday. That is not good because I have not gotten the new ones yet. That’s why I went to the VW dealer again and asked when I will get my number plate. The...

new harddrive
Two weeks ago I went to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and they found out that the hard drive of my MacBook is going to die. Two days later I had a new hard drive for my MacBook. I did a backup recovery from TimeMachine but somehow something went wrong. At first everything looked great. But then I started noticing stuff that was not right. For example everything I opened iChat I had to put in...

And thanks to the iPhone I can post it. ~**~ ~**~ Ich bin im Moment im Hillsborough River State Park. Sitze gemuetlich auf einer Bank am Fluss und geniesse das Rauschen des Wassers und die Natur, die den Fluss umgibt. Und...

Mexican Restaurant
We went to a local Mexican restaurant here in Brandon today for lunch. The parking lot was full of cars and there were quiet a few people inside. But Manuels Fajitas tasted like pepper steak and the ground beef in my tacco was without herbs or spices. The salsa and chips at the beginning were good. We will probably not return to this restaurant. ~~**~~ ~~**~~ Wir haben heute Mittag ein...

buying a labeler
This is a really interesting story to tell. :-) I was at Office Depot with Manuel yesterday to buy a shredder. While we waited in line to pay for it I did see a nice labeler. But it was 29.99 $. I decide to do a internet search when I get home and see if I can find it somewhere cheaper. The internet search told me that 29.99 $ is the normal price and I could not find it anywhere cheaper than that....

Internet
Today the verizon guy was here and installed our fibre cable internet. Actually most of it was installed in the past and he just had to put the wireless router up. It took less than 15 minutes - actually checking the coax outlets took most of the time. I am happy now because I can surf again! ~**~ ~**~ Heute war der Mitarbeiter von Verizon da und hat unser Glasfaserkabel-Internet installiert....
