I am working today. (interpret that however you please.)

So I found a funny site and on that site I saw this image that I imagine all can identify with. I apologize for making both of you link from here to view the image, but I am trying to keep this site a somewhat family-friendly environment.

Last night I started at about 11:30 or so breaking into the new (to me) powerbook that I got from my sister. The optical drive is broken, so I am attempting to replace it. Thad mentioned how most Apple's are built in a straightforward manner and that replacing the drive shouldn't be a big deal. In this case, that couldn't be further from the truth. The instructions that were sent with the drive I got do not apply to my machine, so I figured I would try to wing it. It hasn't gone so well. At about 2am or so, I decided to take a break from it and go to bed. When I got into work this morning, I did a quick search online to find instructions for the operation I am attempting to perform. It didn't take long to find a great resource, which I wish I had looked into before even ordering a new drive. Evidently, I am required to essentially take apart the entire innards of the thing in order to get to the drive to remove it. So guess what I will be doing tonight... I am just hoping it will go back together.

So I got more skinny on the whole Yeungling thing. Rumor has been going around, first announced locally by a beer store the 'Boro down in Murfreesboro, that Yuengling is coming to Tennessee. With some reasearch, I found that they were coming into Tennessee as a test to see how well it is received and how well production picks up and such. I have heard a "fall" arrival, Sept 20, and October 1. Still waiting, I am still asking around. It isn't all just word-of-mouth hearsay since I did find an article online talking about it. Last night I heard another rumor, though, that the Florida production facility, which would be supplying the Tennessee beer, has had water problems recently and their production has been down. This could be the reason for the postponement until October, or it could also postpone it further. Or it could just be a rumor and the Oldest Brewery in America could be supplying some suds to us Tennessee buyers in the next couple of weeks. This article seems to indicate it is another month out.....

Those are the things we worry about here in Nashville.
