I’ve decided I’m going to “mothball” this blog and leave it as is for awhile and am going to concentrate my efforts on a new site called RetroSeek.  I have a rough idea of what I’m going to do with it in my head, but it’s still under construction.  I think I’m basically going to post links to unique web sites, blogs and smaller independently owned “Mom & Pop Stores”.  The big corporations and A-Listers of the web are getting too much publicity and smaller businesses are having a hard time getting noticed.  So, I’m going to do my part and try to make a search engine for all of the smaller sites.

If you would like to add your site to RetroSeek, you may do so at this link: Submit URL to RetroSeek.

I started a new job that only allows us to drink water.  No coffee, cokes or other caffeine drinks.  This sucks because I love caffeine!  But now, there are many products out there that claim to be caffeinated water, which might do the trick.  Not sure if they will have as much caffeine to keep me awake though!  So take a look.  Some of these links are reviews and other go directly where you can order online use a store locator to find a place to buy in your town.

Got another project I’m working on. Thought I’d put together a nice, clean zip code directory to look up zip codes for most of the cities and states around the country. Using it for myself as a shipping reference, but I’m sure others can use it, too. Check it out at Zip Codes For. Check it out so you can find zip codes when doing your shipping.

It’s Spring which means lots of rain… and for me it means back yard flooding. Our idiot neighbors behind us have yards that are literally about a FOOT higher than our ground level. This is causing all of their water to drain into our yard. I’m going to try a few things to hopefully fix this problem. If all fails I guess I’ll contact the city and see if there is some way to get the neighbors to fix their yard so it doesn’t drain into ours.

So about half of our yard has standing water at least 2 inches deep after a good rain. It will go away after a couple days, but definitely causes mosquito problems and basically destroys the yard.

The bought a water pump at Lowe’s earlier tonight and did a test run and successfully drained some water in the front yard…. and into the street. But… it was slow. Probably need to get a shorter garden hose and just drain directly into the kitchen sink. If it is too slow I think I’ll take the pump back and try a wet vac.

Pump I bought was a Water Ace Multi-Purpose/In-Line pump.. 1/12 HP and can pump 350 gallons per hour. I will admit I kind of feel like a chump for buying it. But I also feel kind of cool. I probably should have bought a wet vac and rigged it to pump out. Ah well. Put it on the credit card and maybe I’ll get a government bailout down the road.

So, the next thing I’m going to do is buy something to build a wall to keep water out of our yard. Got a rough idea in my head, but still not sure. Maybe the best thing to do would be to buy a big truckload of dirt.

All for now, stay continued for more on this and hopefully I’ll get this figured out. The best solution hopefully will involve getting the water to flood our crappy neighbor’s yards. Then maybe they will move.
