Too confused/busy to blog the last few days. I managed to get off early on Christmas Eve and took Christmas Day and Friday off. I was actually carrying the Master Pager for the group and only got one page the entire weekend, and the problem was solved before I could return the call; so “work” was [...]
The thermometer at home said -20°F, the NWS says -10°F. I was shivering too much to read the thermometers in town.
Ran ourselves out of propane at home; not sure how. I’m sure the gauge read 30% last Friday, but it is empty now. Might have something to do with all the house cleaning and traffic [...]
Gas this morning is at 1.829.
Temp this morning is at 5°F with a light dusting of snow. Forecast is -3° tonight, first below 0°F.
Pain level very high this morning; don’t know how much longer I can sit at my desk; may need to go home and take some pain killers.
I have restarted scanning the slides, my [...]
Well, I don’t have svchost errors anymore.
Disabling the “server” service stopped the errors from happening, but it also stopped a bunch of other stuff that I wanted. So, I was going to do a repair install of XP and brought a CD home to do it with.
I have two types of WinXP CD’s lying [...]
Gas in Bemidji Saturday was at 1.919 while GR was at 2.199; today gas in Bemidji is at 1.869 while GR is at 2.069.
Whatever.
‘Bout 1/2″ snow last night, quite chilly. Just enough to make everyone slide around the street.
Got the (correct) Alternator swapped out on Vger. O’Reilly’s kept trying to sell me the [...]
Well, Deer Season came in with a BANG!! Sitting out on my stand, about one minute after my watch said “time”, from all around I heard bang! bang! bang-bang-bang-bang! bang!
I haven’t seen anything yet. Matt, hunting with his friends a couple of miles away, tagged a nice doe and a button buck first [...]
Very busy. Replaced the living room window while Betty worked on canning. Haven’t gotten around to a picture of the window yet, here is a picture (from my cell phone) of some of the canning. I think that about half the jars are salsa and half are grape jam.
Rain off and on [...]
or catchup or something like that. I promised a while back that I would get some pics of the tractor show and the wedding up; here they are.
The day before the wedding we had an informal get-together at Veterans Park in GR for family members, mostly so that we could chat with our relly’s [...]
Well, we survived the Fair another year. Here are the highlights as I saw them.
Goat Show: Betty conned 3 neighbor kids into showing 3 goats. Considering the World Class competition, the fact that they were allowed into the ring wasn’t too bad. Here they are in the Costume Class, from Right [...]
And I don’t know when I will get a chance to catch up.
Gas has dropped, a penny at a time, over the last week to 3.639.
The tractor show was a blast, got to take the W6 in even though Matt thought he had permanently destroyed the tranny (he didn’t). Got [...]
