The New Notebook.

I am using my new notebook to write this blog, I must say I am very lucky that I have it. My wife went to the store were they were on sale to put a down payment on the notebook because I was working and I was going to pick it up after work. She got to the cash-out when suddenly all the lights went out in the store and the automatic blinds started to close. Every body was asked to leave the store immediately; only the customers who were actually at the cash-out could finish their shopping. Now this sudden situation brought about that my wife did not quiet understand what was happening and asked the guy at the cash register “if she could still buy the notebook” on this the guy said, “ wait a minute!” and went into the store room and came out with the LAST ONE that they had. My wife of course paid the full price and brought it home with her, needless to say I didn’t have to go and pick it up from work.

Why everybody had to leave the store and why the lights went out my wife did not find out, I should imagine there must have been a sudden power cut.

Yesterday I was up at half past five and out of the house by six so not to encounter the traffic jam on the Cologne ring motorway. I was at work for ten past seven (the company were I used to work) it was a interesting day for me also a very satisfactory one because some of the points that I had pointed out in our last meeting had actually been carried out or been taken care of.

The Automatic Die Cutter that is going to the second company in Hungary will be finished sooner then I thought, some were around the end of June, that means (up till now) I shall be going to Hungary sooner then I thought I would be. The last time I was there it was in winter and 20 degrees below, (bloody cold I can tell you that!) We couldn’t get the machine started at the time because there was no heating in the building; we had to use an old fashion Bunsen burner to warm up the oil so that the machine would start. So there is one good thing this time if I go I won’t be half frozen to death.
The weather over the last week has been tremendous temperatures around 27 degrees, far to warm for my wife and myself our temperature is around the 24 mark. They have forecasted
Thunder and heavy rains over the next few days, I hope not, that won’t do my lawn much good.

I must say this Vista takes a little bit of getting used to compared with XP I am not all that sure if I shall keep it? Some of my programmes don’t function with Vista and to update them or even buy new ones is for me far to expensive, we will just have to wait and see.

The photos I have put in this time are of a laser cutting hard board and the other one is a so called Slotter used in box making, the third is an old DDR car called Trabbi (two stroke) It came from Hungary.

Take care out there were ever you are. Tschüss.
