The big chunky

Brad, our security guy had me out to the cooperate site to load up a 2003 domain with exchange and whatnot. It was going pretty smooth until I forgot that when you promote your first DC on the domain you shouldn't add the DNS service first. For some reason it just works better when you let the OS do it as part of the DCPromo. So, when I ran forestprep it died. Dcdiag showed me that the exchange server couldn't resolve the DC's guid so I starred at it for about a half an hour and then Brad took me out for a burger.

We went to a place called Chunky's. It was pretty awesome. They have a burger called the big chunky that is 4 1/2 lb patties on a bun. If you get a big chunky with 5 patties and finish it you get your picture on the wall. If you beat the record (which is 8 patties... a 4 lb burger) you get this big mural on the wall commemorating your bypass surgery! After lunch I fixed the DNS and we were off to the races. I blamed the problem on solar flares or service packs... and it was all good.

Now, back to Chunky's. I checked out their web page and it's pretty crappy. Here, see for yourselves. I'm thinking about making a better one for them. I might mess around with it for a while to see what I can come up with. I like the line "No one leave hungry". I was thinking of a cartoon burger holding a flag or something and screaming it. Anyway, good stuff. After about 10 minutes of messing with the letters I got this... but I'm not sure of the colors yet.



That actually looks like a restaurant name. I'm going to try to get all of my fellow contractors out there because I'm really sick of all the places we currently eat at... so this will be a change of pace at the very least.

Nothing else is really going on, besides Joy and I being swamped with work. I did get to hang out with Jeremiah and his wife. It's always fun going over there. About 2 months ago I let him borrow my guitar tuner and I thought I brought it back home with me... I searched everywhere for it and even called Jeremiah up and asked about it. He told me that he was sure I took it with me when I left his house, so I broke down and bought a new one. So what do I see as soon as I walk in his house, my guitar tuner stuck on the neck of his guitar. He swears that I never called him. Oh well, he got a free guitar tuner out of the whole deal! I don't need two anyway.

I wish I would of brought a camera, he has a friend named Ian who is from England and was in the RAF for a couple years, so he has this really think English accent. He married a girl from Louisiana and she's got the deep southern accent. It's great because I can barely understand either of them. I have no idea how they communicate with each other!

We're suppose to go and see a firehouse with them next week. They have a buddy who's up the ranks as a fireman so I guess we'll get the grand tour when we go. Hayden's already ramped up about it. It should be fun. I promise to bring the camera and get some good pictures. I'll also post some progress on the Chunky's site.

College starts next week... wish me luck!!
