I’m Jealous . . .
Jan went into work with me this morning so we could leave for Brand’s from Clear Lake rather than me coming back to the rig to pick her up first, saving us an hour on the trip up to Katy.
And Brandi was already for Landon when he got home from school this afternoon.
And then once Lowell got home Landon got to open his presents first before dinner.
After a delivery dinner from Hasta La Pasta, I got a look at Landon’s computer setup. And I’m jealous.
That curved monitor is really something, and very sharp.
One of the birthday presents he got was a specialized gaming keyboard and mouse, and it does everything but the dishes. He got the keyboard installed and configure pretty quickly, but had some trouble with the mouse and asked for help.
I think the problem is that that mouse has more buttons and adjustments than the Space Shuttle. Seriously, the mouse has 8 different buttons on it, and 3 computer screens of setups and configurations.
And when we looked at the tiny manual, even he with his now 11 year old eyes, wondered, “Why do they print it so small?”
And even worse it was in about six different languages. So he went back to his old gaming mouse, and said he’d do some research online to get get some help.
And the lighting effects alone on the keyboard are really something. It’s lightshow all by itself, with the colors rippling back and forth across the keys, and even doing the wave.
A really nice setup.
There’s not much on the agenda for tomorrow. We’re probably going to have lunch at a new place up in Webster called The Cookshack, specializing in Chicken, Waffles, and Ribs.
Sounds like our kind of place.
