This tale of a software/hardware installation

This tale of a software/hardware installation has been going on for far too long. Actual time spent working might be less than two hours, but it’s been the main topic for the better part of three days now. After we had wrapped up, just in time for an afternoon lunch, I was chatting with my cohort in the deal. Now, like a good computer tech, he showed up with a handful of extra parts, just in case. This included a spare router — you never know when you might need one — and as the case was, it was needed. Slammed the install, and we took off for lunch, gathering up his girlfriend, and my Pisces friend playing hooky from work. Now, during our idle chatter in the morning, I had listened to a running commentary about gun control — it’s a Texas thing. My friend was opinionated. I warned him that we needed to find place to eat that would include vegetarian food because the Pisces girl is vegetarian (neither unusual nor an uncommon request in South Austin). “That’s good,” my buddy told me, “I’m vegetarian, too.” “But the guns?” “Hey,” in true Leo–like fashion, “I’m a vegetarian, not a wimp.” I doubled over with laughter. He also thought that Sagittarius was a form of psychoses, not just an astrology sign. Can’t seem to refute that one, either. Vegetarian for 20 plus years, and a wonderful sense of humor. Now, to add one more bit to the tale, just as I laid my weary head upon the couch, thinking about a nap, after a hard day at work, Bubba calls me up then convinces me to wander out for a little while. Two Scorpio waitresses at Curra’s for lunch, then another one at Threadgill’s for dinner. Call it a Scorpio day, just for flavor.
