Life is not bad, but still rough

dynok9kWell, after the sinus infection I had a couple of weeks ago I'm doing better, but still not at 100%, it always takes a while for me to recover from one. I had been fighting it off for several weeks before and it finally got me during a sudden weather change from cold to hot, my father using the heater and overheating the house didn't help either. I've got to be careful right now, the weather suddenly went from hot to cold, and is expected to warm up fast again. Hope I can hold out without a relapse.
Saturday morning, we had a severe thunderstorm in the area and lightning either struck very close to the house or struck an electrical line close by, it fried my tv and dvd player, my father's tv, and one of the cable boxes. It messed up my plans for the day, having to buy a new tv and dvd player, also having to take the time to exchange the box on the cable places busiest day, as well as costing a couple hundred dollars in damage. Luckily, I was still able to find a tv similar to my old one at a slightly lower price.
Not looking forward to this week, I have jury duty and it is always a PITA. This makes at least the 5th or 6th time Ive been called since 1990. I hate going as it is mostly a waste of time, I've never been called to serve on an actual jury, and will most likely just sit around waiting for nothing, when I have things that actually need to be done being put aside for that mess. I got called to standby for federal jury duty about a year ago, and it was better than the local system, I just had to call in every day, and the automated system told me whether or not I needed to go in for duty. As it turned out, I didn't need to go in, and even though it was a slight inconvenience, at least I had my days free to do what needed to be done, with no wasted time or unnecessary travel to a place I wouldn't normally go to.
While looking on the internet the other day, I found out about something I have been wanting for a while, a Henry Rifle chambered in the 327 Fed Magnum caliber. Now, I may have to go to the next gun show to check it out and see if I really do want one. I haven't been to a show in a couple of years, but it should be a fun event even if I don't buy anything other than ammo.
I've been playing around a little with the Instax cameras that I bought recently, I like the size of the 300 wide, but the Mini 90 is so cool. I tried scanning a couple of photos into the computer this morning, and they actually came out pretty decent. Now, I just need to go somewhere that has something really interesting to take pictures of.
I'm tired now, think I'll take a nap.
