Bought the first one, #1, at the store on the 32nd Street Naval Station way back in 1971 (or 1972) (Which I still have, by the way. The book. Not the store.) and have tried to keep up with since. Stopped a few years back and don’t really know why. Have 110 or so and just started (this evening) cataloging them on my Nexus 7. Sometimes I can scan the barcode, most times I have to enter the SSBN. Either way it’s still much (way much!) better than the Dewey Decimal System.

Spent some time letting the Nexus 7 update to Android 5.1. Lots of trepidation and lots of online research; but decided to risk it anyway. After the last (disastrous) update I had my doubts about anything from Google. Seems to have worked without slowing it down too much. Everything else is upgrading now though. I’ll give it a good workout; but have been looking up how to install CyanogenMod “just in case.”

Not much else going on today; SSDD. Sun came out long enough for me and the Dog to go for a walk to the back of the property. Still really wet out there though. Spent way too many hours researching insurance for the Caravan; which SWMBO completed on the phone while on her lunch break. Appreciate that. Appreciate Her!

No one showed up for the MCARC 10-meter Tuesday Evening Chat Net. Since AE7GC hasn’t been able to make it the net has just kind of disappeared. Bummer. (But he was the only one centrally located that could hear everyone. Otherwise I’d take over as Net Control.)

Have a “River Song” marathon going on since this afternoon. Cool!

So, to liven up this rather normal Saturday morning, I went over and played with the Zombie Infection Simulator. Started an infection in San Diego (this is the U.S. map but I’m sure there are others) which took out people up to L.A. and pretty much stopped. Guess they figure Zombie’s would have trouble walking through the desert. East Coast was a different story though. It just kept on going.

Not much else going on this early. Raining like a fool out there sometimes. Getting kind of windy too. I really would like a nice, sunny, day so I can get out and install that new transmission oil cooler.

Downloaded, installed, and started playing with VUE Pioneer 2014. I really like the VUE programs and am thinking of making some PERN sites if I can learn to use the program well enough. Hey, it’s free to try. Puts a logo on your render but you can get rid of that by buying one of the packs for it. Might be worth the bucks. Anywho, here’s my first landscape right out of the box.

So, I got this envelope from the Coach-Net (which we joined when we bought the Caravan) in the mail today, that said OPEN IMMEDIATELY! I didn’t. Let it sit on my desk for over half an hour before I finally opened it. I hate being bossed around by inanimate objects; machines, paper, my ex-, The government.

SWMBO got home about 1630 and took me to Casper’s (great pizza) for dinner. The usual stop at Safeway and we’re home. Short date today; but when you have Quality time together it really doesn’t matter how long it is.
