I spent some time on World of Warcraft, getting my druid up to level 41.

I wasted some time on World of Warcraft, getting my hunter up to level 48, and my druid up to level 40 (and buying a donkey).

I finally got around to draining and refilling the hot tub. I didn't get the time to clean it out as thoroughly as I usually do, as I wanted to get it full of water before leaving it overnight, to stop it freezing some of the lower pipes and bursting them. In the spring, I'll clean it, I promise.

In the evening, I went over to Scott and Becky's for a poker party - seeing as Jason was in town, it made sense to take as much money from him as possible :o)
I came 2nd, but if you're from the IRS, my winnings come nowhere near making up for my losses this year.

When I got home, Tilly wanted to go potty, so I took her out and then dragged her around the block - I think she'd have been happier at home in bed.

Dave showed me his new MacBook that gets around 90 frames per second playing World of Warcraft - my Windows XP box gets around 25fps, but I'm pushing a bigger screen, and have everything turned up to 11.

As he hadn't shown up by the early evening, we went next door for lasagna and to see the new Dachshund puppies.

As Tilly was asleep, I played a bit of World of Warcraft and managed to get my warlock her Epic Donkey. Of course, this now means that I can get the flying donkey (I think you just pay for that).

I spent the afternoon tidying up all the stuff I never get around to doing. Vic being away means I haven't got a reason not to rake leaves or vacuum, but on the minus side, I'm out of chocolate ice cream.

I washed the Subaru and the van. I took a look at the CD changer in the Subaru, and decided after trying it in the Van that it's not working. I then took the whole bloody thing to pieces to get my 10 CDs out. I tried it again having put it all back together, but it still doesn't work. Oh well, time for a new one I guess - this one's 7 years old. At least the wiring's already in the car, so it's just a matter of plugging a new one in. After all this fun, Tilly and I played in the garden for a while. She slept on my lap while I played World of Warcraft for a bit, my druid got to level 38.

I took the Subaru for it's smog test, and it passed. This means I can give the DMV their pound of flesh for the registration sticker.

The parts came in for the YSR I'm trying to get back together for Jason yesterday, so I fitted the brake lever. I was looking at the fuel tank when I realised that I might not be able to get the cap open any more - that'll be fun to deal with. I might have a spare one around here somewhere.

I put in a little time in World of Warcraft, my druid got to level 37. They've made some changes, so you don't need to go into Uldaman for artisan enchanting, and it's easier to get from level 20 - 60. I'm glad I handed in all those quests and ran to Uldaman on Monday then, eh?

After work, and before her supper, I took Tilly for a walk around the block. Well, first we had a little fight to get the harness on her (so that hopefully she'll stop chewing at her lead), then we went for a walk around the block. It's less than 1/2 a mile, but we ran into first Bill and then Fred, so by the time we got home, we'd been out about an hour. It must be nice to be popular.

We went through the same harness hassles before bed time, but she did sleep through to 6am, so it's worth it.

I spoke to Susan at Team Calamari, and ordered a few parts I still need for the YSR. That took almost an hour, as she likes to chat, and we haven't spoken for a couple of years :o)

I managed to run Uldaman with Andy in World of Warcraft, my druid got to level 36 and artisan enchanting.

After that, Tilly and I went to the SPCA to talk to Tiffany, the behaviour analyst, for a little while. Vic and I are getting tired of the mouthing, and it seems we need to be more strict with Tilly, and give her timeouts rather than grabbing and holding her when she goes crazy. As she's such a social little thing, this should get through to her pretty quickly. At least, that's the plan.

I also got her picture taken with Santa. That was a lot less drama than it was with Chloe.

Oh, I need to start putting everything away for the winter, as it's throwing it down here today.

I managed to get in a little World of Warcraft time, and ran Gnomeregan with Andy. My druid made it to level 34.

In the evening, we took Tilly over to Scott and Becky's so she could meet Daisy. She was a bit nervous at first, but they soon warmed up to each other :o)

I managed to get my druid up to level 32 in World of Warcraft.

I managed to get my druid up to level 31 in World of Warcraft.

I managed to get a little World of Warcraft time, and got my druid up to level 30.

I worked on the central locking in the van for a while, trying to see why it's still draining the battery while not doing anything. I've tried wiring the relays up in different ways without it helping. Eventually, Tilly got bored, so we went outside to play for a while. Once she was tired out, and Victoria had got back from getting one of our foster guineas adopted, we put her in her crate and headed out for a while.

In the afternoon, we watched the MotoGP race from Valencia - I was saddened to see the poison dwarf take 2nd in the season because Rossi broke his hand, but hey, there's always next year.

In the evening, we went to the first Friday meeting of a bunch of the SPCA people, but couldn't stay that long because we had to get back and let Tilly out of her crate to carry on devastating the house and garden.
