Lol, David! Are you 'giving it all shes got, captin'?
Thank you Marc and everyone else for the help. We do have a pool power circuit about 15ft away from where im at. The electrician that came said I should put a box for the obs right outside the building, and hed run 2 20amp breakers from it. He was going to drill a little hole through the floor and give me 2 outlets at each end, one on each side, like one on each end of the West and East wall for a total of 4. He said the line he brought in from the floor could also go to a motion detection light right outside my door that I could turn on and off from inside with a little switch.
Im bugged about spending anymore money right now. I know I agreed to quit working and come home so the wife could feel normal again and go back to work, but Its weird spending money you didnt earn. Ya know? Hard to explain. Ive never not worked, its weird i tell ya.
The boys turn 7 the tenth and Josh just lost two baby teeth and I got caught sneeking in there hiding money ( I told them I heard something-well looky there, the tooth fairy was here!), and on top of that, we went to Walmart to find a 6 plug surge protector thingie and I ended up buying a bunch of toys (josh had six dollars for his teeth and whats fun thats 6 or under?!), and I had to buy Zach a toy too 'cos its not his fault he didnt lose any teeth the same time Josh did, etc...Blah, blah, blah.
Im rambling. I just got back from the obs. Seeing is horrible, but I did get a chance to notice that those moons around Jupiter had switched places since lastnight. Orbits in the raw! How cool!
I also bought me a little lamp with a red light, got me a radio, plenty of Mt. Dew, and my little sketch pad. Im there, dude!
