Out of The PIT

So MJNL and I have gone on our vacation to the west coast. We'll be enjoying BSB's hospitality while we're here. We made it in one piece so that's a good start!

MJNL and I went to meet up with MM and our old dancing buddies at the Sunday Serenade at Mel Lastman's Square. MM was telling us about this last year and we as a group decided to check it out this summer. Well, this was the last Sunday Serenade of the summer and virtually none of us went at all, so MM organized a gettogether for dinner, which was cancelled, and a sitting at the serenade. We had a good time. There were a lot of people dancing on the main floor, with the majority of the people there either part of a dance class or a senior citizen. There were so many old people there! It put us young whippersnappers to shame. Afterward, the lot of us went to have some bubble tea before breaking up for the night. We decided on going for more dance lessons in the fall. We will see how that goes..

Two things that had been bothering me for a while was the fact that the paper shredder was jammed in the "on" position and the lock on my filing cabinet broke. The first problem was my fault: I was putting too much paper through the shredder and it got stuck. forcing the paper through by cycling between the forward/backward directions eventually got the paper unstuck and shredded, but the lever that detected if paper was in the device somehow got stuck somewhere. I tried looking for it with a flashlight and poking for it with tweezers and a paperclip but I had no luck. The opening was too small and there was no way I could see inside. After a week, I decided to put some time in to take the shredder apart. things were a little slow until I discovered that one of the screws was hidden underneath one of the warning stickers. I wonder if the warranty is voided? I guess it does not really matter, the warranty only lasted a year. It took some time for me to find the actual switch

Ah, this music video brings back memories of MODS. Well, eight channels at least.
