Tuesday: A dinosaur adventure!!

So, todays blog is about tuesday. (the 15 of july, 2008)
Finally my schedule worked out in my favor.
I finally got to see a really awesome friend who I hadn't seen for a long time. (well, two friends, actually, though I didn't get to spend much time with one of them).

Chris stopped by to drop off my new (old) switch. It's way huger than I expected. With dual redundant power supplies and 24 switching ports connected via the backplane to the supervisor board with an additional 2 fast ethernet ports and 2 mii connectors. (as well as the console port). Oh! and now I have 9 of the Cisco routers. And one partially completed power supply for them. I'm going to need to make a bunch of cables because I don't have any of the proper ones for these devices. I have the pin outs so the tough part will be finding the connectors.

Once Chris left, me and my other friend went out to get coffee and talk. It was really awesome seeing her again, and even just talking made life seem so much better.
Then we drove around and chilled and then we had an adventure!
There are some really nice trails near my house. We went exploring on one of them. Plants and trees had overgrown the path and suddenly, we were in the amazon! We found this prehistoric lake that seemed like it would be nice to swim in but then there were dinosaurs!! And we were yelling at them "you are a dinosaur!!!!!" and trying to communicate with them by making duck sounds!
My friend made a tail out of a bunch of these long grass things that were growing out of the water. It looked really cute on her and looked like a dinosaur tail (well, I thought it did anyway).
We even had to cross some parts of the path that had turned into swamp! But at least it wasn't lava!!! The path was a lot longer than I remembered it. It seemed to stretch on forever and all the trees and plants were so huge! But that was a good thing because the wonderful moment seemed to last longer.
Sadly, she had to return home, however, it was definitely one of the best afternoons I have had!
There is so much more I wish I could put into words, but I just can't seem to describe how incredibly awesome it was.

In other news, I have my NIN concert ticket, so I'm very excited for that.
