I have absolutely NO idea what is going on…

Last Saturday & Sunday (after the first session of Church, of course) I was out at the property. Was out there Monday also.

Tuesday: Bob & Marge (friends from across the street) went out to the property and cut up some wood for them. Loaded it and brought it back to their house too. I was basically useless the rest of the day. Getting too damned old to do all this physical stuff!

Also, last Monday I called and talked to my Uncle Denver. Hadn’t talked to him in about 22 years! Called and talked to my Uncle Loren & Aunt Lois. Hadn’t talked to them in 10 or so years. Cool! Uncle Loren was saying something about not knowing anything about his father (other than his name even though he half grew up with him) so I got SWMBO on it and she found his father’s death certificat and on the 1900 census. Cool!

Today I attended a Workshop put on by the storesonline folks. I had bought a site from them thinking I’d put up an online store and maybe make some bucks from that. Well, the Workshop wasn’t a complete waste BUT if you aren’t "upgrading" to the PRO version you really didn’t have to attend the Workshop. Everything was geared towards people upgrading to the PRO version. Since I can’t afford the PRO version ($3600/year per site + $25/mo hosting OR $6000 one time fee + $25/mo hosting) the workshop really didn’t do me any good. They even had ’financing’ available and just couldn’t understand WHY I wouldn’t upgrade. Explained to them that it all sounded really good EXCEPT that I’m trying to get a loan to build a home and just could not have anything hit my credit rating right now. Otherwise I probably would have signed up. They do have some really good tools for building a store online…

And that’s about it. SWMBO’s at the office today and when I got home at 2000 the dog acted like he’d been alone, forgotten, abandoned ALL DAY or something. Been converting my mail from Thunderbird back to Outlook. Need the multi-function stuff as I’m tired of using different programs to keep a calendar or notes or contacts. Got it all working pretty good though.

Not that anything exciting has been happening around here!

Monday: Spent most of the day loading firewood into our friends trailer and hauling it back to their place. They hauled. I stayed and moved more trees and generally just messed around until they got back. It took only two trips to get al that wood we cut to their house. Cool! Spent the evening recuperating!

Tuesday: Damned if I can remember what the hell I did Tuesday. I think I stayed home and did some of the stuff I’ve been putting off until I got time to do it. Which means dishes, laundry and "stuff."

Wednesday: SWMBO at work. I hung around the house and got things done. Stayed up WAY too late. Started an "Associates Store" at Amazon.Com. Y’all check it out!

Thursday: Got up late. Took SWMBO out for breakfast as she’s got a dance thingie to go to tomorrow. Got out to the property for awhile.

Today: Stayed home. Installed SWMBO’s new cabinet into her desk thingie and drilled a couple of holes for wires. Just doing things around the house. Made a glass-fronted box cause I want to play with solar collection. Gotta get some black paint. The weather has been absolutely great the past few days! I love it!

Some musicians I heard at Bumbershoot in Seattle 8-9 years ago. Maybe more. Liked them. If anyone out there knows who they are and where I can buy their music, let me know.

Regarding the previous entry: Don’t know why I forgot to tell what happened.

Was coming back from the property the other day and came to a spot in the road with what looked like fresh skid marks (hadn’t noticed them on the way in) leading into the bushes offroad. Slowed down but I didn’t see a car so I figured there’d been an accident that had been cleared. About a mile further along the road a Sheriff was speeding in with red lights and siren going (Code 3). About another mile a Paramedic & Fire truck came along Code 3. About half a mile further and 6 (SIX) Sheriff’s cars, all Code 3, passed going back to where I’d just come from. About a mile down the road and another Sheriff came Code 3. Then about another mile another sheriff (just going fast, no code) passed going back towards where I’d just come from. Seems like it may have been a good thing that I didn’t see a car and stop!

Today started out a normal Sunday. After the first session of church I headed out to the property to move some trees around. About 1500 SWMBO and our friends from across the street showed up to cut some wood. And we cut a LOT of wood! Bob’s older than I and he really appreciated having my Digger to lift the logs to waist height for cutting! So we did that for awhile, stopped and had hot dogs & chips then finished cutting the wood up. We did probably 1.5 cords or more. They’re going to get a trailer tuesday or wednesday and we’ll go out and load up as much as we can.

And that’s about it. Put the stills from the Air Show up on my webshots site and my personal gallery for all to peruse at their leisure. Still trying to figure out what to do with all the short video’s from the Air Show.
