Well Thanksgiving is right down the road. I have ordered the turkey and started getting the house ready. I spent most of the weekend getting the MAME cabinet up and running. I ordered an Arcade monitor but just didn’t have time to get it working. I put the Sony monitor back in and got most of the games working with it. After the Holiday I will just throw a motherboard and drive together and get the monitor working with that. Then just swap it all out into the cabinet.

Carolyn’s dad is still in the hospital but they are hoping to send him back to Langhorn Garden this week. So far the normal suspects are going to be over for Thanksgiving dinner. And then it will be time to start planing Christmas dinner for my folks and Charollet and Nat and Del. At least Thanksgiving the menu is really all ready planed out for ya…Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and Cranberry sauce plus other vegetables. Well work calls.

I found this article on slashdot and have to agree with the author. I think everyone should have a web site. Whether it’s an on-line journal or just a static page they update only every few months. I offer my family and friends web space and server space, but you know they don’t take it. So I recommend reading the article and going out there and getting you place on the Internet.

Halloween was great..Avery got tons of candy. We didn’t get that many kids stopping for candy. It seems that there are less kids coming out for Halloween from when I was a kid. I did get to have a nice talk with one of the girls next door since she was out handing out candy.

Sat I spent most of the day working on the MAME cabinet. I got the coin door in the front painted ant the supports for the monitor installed. I fitted the Sony 21″ PC monitor in it and it’s going to look great. I hope to get the control panel laid out tonight and get the holes drilled and cut. Then I can spend the next few nights wiring it up.

My father in-law is still in the hospital but is not doing to well. they did a whole bunch of tests and found his kidneys are not doing to well. Last night they ordered a blood transfusion and more tests. Carolyn and my sister in-law have been at the hospital the last few days and will be there probably for the next few days.

Yesterday Avery go to stay home and she devoured a whole tin of chocolate chip cookies and I am sure a whole lot of Halloween candy. So she got sick in the middle of the night and gets to stay home for the day from school because she never went back to sleep.

And to add to that the cat is sick…..So I will be off to the vet today as well so much for a quiet Monday.
