Spring Has Sprung!
Phoney Money
Take a look at your $10 bills, because they might not be real. If you are from our area you
might run into the phoney $10 bills that have been going around town. Someone thinks that
they are smarter then all of us and is printing bills on their computer printer. They are easy to
spot because the Black print is blurry, and there is no watermark or safety strip. The gold 10
is also not multi color like it should be. We are reasonabl
y sure that the culprit will be caught
because he made the mistake of ordering delivery food from us a few times, and has spent
the money at the bar which has camera surveillance, so in due time there will be no more
counterfeiter. He has already cost my cousin over $50. That is a drag.
Chinese Food
The Chinese food place is now open! It took me a couple days to get there to eat, but I managed
it. Their food is good, and they are working real hard to keep up with the demand. Watching them
work in their kitchen gave me a new light on working in ours. We got it a lot easier, lol. It looks like
they are doing so well, that they are getting a truck load of food every day. The trucks come in
from New York City, so it is very authentic. They are also as they are busy speaking in Chinese
to each other. I hope they stay a long time in Morrisville. I loooove their food.
April and Nicole Stop In
It has been 2 years since I have seen April, and even more since I have seen Nicole. They are
the twin sisters I have known since they were little. Back in the day I used to party with their
Mom, and when they grew into teens they used to come by almost every day. It was great that
when I moved to Morrisville they were old enough to go to college and applied here. We
continued our tradition of hanging out and partying for the entire time they were in school. Now
they have grown up and are going on into life and we don't see as much of each other, but it is
another case of being a great part of the growing up of some young friends of mine. Since I
don't have kids of my own, it really means a lot to me. It was good to see my girlys again!

Limewire and My Network
I have noticed that my Internet has been slow, so that prompted me to look into my routers
firmware program to see just who is using our wireless network and what for. I have noticed
that a couple of the users have been using Bit Torrent and Limewire to share files. I am not
against file sharing, but I am against getting the bandwidth hogged up on my network. So I
have done something about it. So far two users have had their MAC addresses blocked from
using the network. I hate doing that to people, but I did tell everyone that the rules of using this
network include NOT using file sharing clients such as Limewire, so I had to take some action.
Now we have good Internet for all to enjoy again, sorry to those who have been blocked.
Getting my Stuff Back
I have been making space in my room lately for what will be an influx of more and more stuff of
mine which will be arriving from my storage at my friend Bill's house. We moved all my stuff
there when I had to abruptly move out of the trailer I lived in a couple years ago. There are
many memories packed into those boxes, not to mention some really cool furniture as well. I
am looking forward to chillin' in my Lazy-Boy chair again ahhhhhh. Soon I will have piles of stuff
in here to sort out and condense.
It is great to see the good weather again. The winters in New York State are long and
cold. I will admit I do like the cold weather better then the HOT weather, but like
anything, it does get old, and the warmer weather will be a nice break. I will be able to
take those long walks again, and chill down to the picnic tables in front of the building
again. I got wireless this year, so I will be able to be on the Internet outside as well. I
went around and took some pics of the Hill to update the Today page on the
CampusHill site. Good Bye Winter!
New Websites
My cousin Matt has finally put ME in charge of the various website involved in our little corner of
the world. I will soon become the webmaster of the pizza shop, the Corral-bar, the apartments,
and even the various Pizza-Pub's websites. That will be a lot of work for me, but I am up for the
challenge. The beauty of using me for the work is that I am right here and can do any updates
that need to be posted right away. I am quite willing to help, due to the fact that they are my
family and I want to see them prosper, for it will help me in the end. Soon I will have the new sites
up to be able to show you.
Ralph Has Left the Building
Ralph has been the maintenance person on CampusHill for about 4 years now, and a friend to us
all. He hasn't been very happy there for the past year or so, so he finally decided to move along
to another situation for himself in the old town we used to live in before moving to Morrisville.
Ralph has always been my "soul neighbor" since we have always seemed to live near each other
through the years we have known each other. We worked together on the road in a couple
bands I was in and could get the band set up and tore down in record time. He was also good for
fixing our ailing vehicles while we were playing. I had him behind the mixer on a few occasions as
well. Ralph has always been an asset to our lives, and we will miss him a lot around here. He did
quite a bit for the Hill in the years he worked there until the owner, and the previous manager
made him gain an attitude about the place. He is now situated in the old printing shop where he
once worked in a town about 20 miles south of us called Sherburne. If you get the sales circular
in the paper for a local store, chances are good he will have printed it. So if you are ever in
Sherburne feel free to look him up, his phone is still the same number. Good Luck Ralph!

a phoney $10 bill. He was quickly
arrested.................
