Ready for the weekend

Ugh...what a week. The good news is I finally received an answer from a Paypal representative who know what end was up! He pointed me in the right direction and told me how to redeem my $100 voucher. I just needed to go directly to Paypal, go to the send money section, choose who the money was going too, and select my voucher. I called my bro up (Jim) and was like heeey buddy, let's try something. I typed in his paypal account email address and sent an amount of $100 and he was able to pull it into his account and after the Paypal fees it was $97. I'm seeing my bro on the 4th of July, so he'll write me a check then (hopefully). The $97 number is rather interesting too. About 5-6 years ago I purchased a set of Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 Computer speakers and 1 month after the 4 year warranty expired, the amp blew and white noise was coming from the front left speaker. I was rather disappointed and didn't know where to go to get them repaired and even though I knew which resistor was blown, I didn't want to mess with it, so I settled for a lesser set of Logitech speakers. Recently I started doing some more research for Klipsch ProMedia speaker repair and found a guy on eBay to do the repairs. The cost is $60 + shipping, which totals to $97....the total of my Paypal voucher. WOOT!

Anyways... this weekends going to be a breath of fresh air! Going to take a little road trip over to Cedar Rapids, IA and see my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew...Dan, Donna, and Tyler Weeda. I'm interested to see the flood damage that's plagued Cedar Rapids for the past couple of weeks. Thankfully my brother and his family were not affected. My brother has had a very busy time too....helping out the city in trying to save the last water well, out of four, and also getting into the hospital. For about 3-4 days they were unable to take showers, flush the toilet, and drink tap water. Then it was every other day for showers until they had the other wells up in the city. Now that the water has gone down some, they were able to get into downtown and I guess it's quite a mess. It always amazes me to see the power of mother nature and no matter how far man has advanced with technology, that he has little to no power against God and mother nature. Which makes me even more thankful that I can put my trust in God and not man.

Lunch break is about over and I have quite a bit to get done before 1645 gets here. ^_^
