Tools And More

No comments

We are trying to organize our tools and other stuff in the garage. We need to decide soon on which one we are taking with us. Hubby got too many tools that we really don’t need, so now his job is to gather everything he doesn’t want and we can put it on the moving sale. Those tools were so expensive when he bought it.

Anyhow, have you heard about the smith equipment?  Well, I happen to stumble on their website and they’re selling gas and welding supplies. So, if you are looking for anything like that you can check out their website.

Hubby and I are going to get rid of a couple ladder that we can’t take with us. Also we have some other stuff to get rid off like, lawn mower, weed eater and more. I hope to find somebody who want to buy it soon.

The Boy Is Up

No comments

My son is finally up and he is now playing on his tablet pc. I asked him what he want to eat for breakfast he said he is not hungry yet. I think we are going to jump into lunch and skip breakfast since everyone is not hungry for breakfast. One less cooking to do:). Today I am going to make sushi my husband and daughter are asking for it. I will be rolling sushi as soon as I am done working here in the computer.

I love cooking and my son is the same way he can stay in that kitchen with me without any complain. Today he ask me if he can help me make sushi. We are going to use fresh salmon for sushi today. I need to get that rice started already because I need to drain the water completely after I wash it atleast half an hour.

Jewelry Repair

No comments

I need to take one of my earring to the jewelry repair shop. One of the hanging thingy broke so I have to get it fix. I can’t afford to buy those 22k gold anymore they are too expensive.  But, buying gold is also a great investment. For example you are planning on investing in gold you can buy gold bullion from Golden Eagle to begin investing. I wish I have a lot of extra money so I can invest in gold too. But, right now I don’t have that kind of money to start an investment.

Back to my jewelry, I am still trying to find a place near us who can repair a 22k gold. Hopefully they don’t charge much on fixing it.

Need More Sleep

No comments

I have been going to bed way too late for 3 nights now and I don’t think I can do it anymore since my pimples are starting to come out. Plus this lack of sleep is giving me a headache and it feels like I am having a Chronic migraine. I really have to get back into sleeping early, going to bed at midnight and 2am is not good for me anymore.

Anyway, it’s already 10am and kids are still in bed I need to get them up soon to eat breakfast. We have to clean our vehicles today it is so dusty outside and need some vacuuming inside. We will see if the kids are interested on helping me with that:)…

Good Morning!

No comments

Good morning everyone! It’s president’s day so we are home today, kids are still sleeping since to went to bed so late last night. I was hoping that my daughter will get up early today so we can go jogging, but she is still snoring at the moment. Maybe we just go to the park later on. It is kind a cold out there today I was hoping that the warm weather will stay here for good, but I guess the winter is still here. I can’t wait for spring to come!!!

Although this year’s winter is not that bad compare to last year. Few more weeks and spring will be here I can’t wait for it. The only thing I am going to miss this year’s spring is planting vegetables in my backyard. We are moving away from here, so there is no purpose doing that. Hopefully the new place have a great place to make a little garden.

The Keyboard

No comments

When we bought our electric keyboard, hubby wanted to buy the yamaha ypg 235. But, I said no and I pick the other brand that is look a lot better than the one he likes. Now, I am thinking back and I should just go with the one he likes because of the quality, even it doesn’t look as good as the one I like. Well, I guess it’s way too late now to replace it. The good thing is that the kids are enjoying playing the keyboard, so  it is okay. My son mostly is the one who plays with it a lot.

I’m all about really fancy looking style without having pay really high price tags. I guess that lots of people are that way, but I’ll look high and low for the prefect piece of furniture to fit my style. I really get a thrill out of it, actually.

The latest thing that I’ve been hunting for is a vanity. I have a dresser that I’ve kind of been using as one, but it just doesn’t cut it anymore. When I was online searching for one, I ran across the site http://homeproimprovement.com. After I looked through it a little bit I decided that it would be a good idea to use them to replace our windows this spring, something that we’ve been planning on doing for a while now.

I did find a fancy vanity at a flea market that I’m putting some work into so I can fix it up. I think that it’s going to end up looking so great, especially after I finish it off with a glittery top coat!

I am currently transitioning into a new role, still with Maximo, so I have been unable to keep up with my blog posts. Once I get through the initial transition period, I’ll be able to get back to my blogging. Please keep reading and commenting. Thanks.

Only Child

Being the only child means I’ve got a lot of responsibility to my parents which is something I usually don’t mind much. The only reason it’s really been weighing on me lately is that mom and dad own their own business and it’s been a lot of work helping them out, mostly because they’re stuck back in the 80s when it comes to technology. My mom actually still uses one of those little calculator things that spits out paper to keep the books…can you imagine? Anyway, I came in and helped them look into everything from bank card processing to a website and they said that was really helpful. It’s not like I know all that much about technology but boy, when you’re standing next to two low-tech people like my parents you seem like a regular IT whiz, I tell you what. Whatever I can do to make mom and dad’s life easier is fine by me and I don’t mind doing it at all. They’ve been great parents and I’m happy to help!

Maximo 7.1 patches occasionally include updates to existing BIRT reports as well as delivering new reports. If you have enhanced existing reports without altering their name, you could eliminate your enhancements by importing these reports during the patch implementation. You may consider testing the original reports with the new patches first to see if they still function. If they continue to function and return accurate data, you may not need to update the reports. However, if you find discrepancies in the data on the reports or the original reports do not function at all with the new patches, then you will most likely need to modify the new reports with your enhancements before importing them into Maximo. Many times, these enhancements may be as simple as adding a few columns to the reports that are bound to new fields that were added to Maximo when you configured the system to meet your specific needs. However, if the enhancements are more complicated, you will need to include these tasks in your patch implementation plan. If the reports are not critical to your operation, but the patches correct system issues that are critical, you may also consider going live without these non-critical reports and phasing in the reports as you make the necessary corrections.
