Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
Software nightmares…or, What they don't tell you about Win 7…
I should let Jane tell you this one, because she knows all the technicals, but she's recuperating in a warm tub. The main computer of our housenet is about to die---any minute, it could stop working. It holds all the tax records, going back over a decade. The new...
Day 2 of the walking program. A front came through last night and thank goodness…
Jane got up and folded the patio umbrella, which was making a racket. At 1:30 AM a front barreled through of the strength we used to get in Oklahoma, the sort that as it hits you can almost feel the walls balloon for an instant: it thumps. Then wind. And if that...
Walking for health…we has to…
It gets so very hot in Spokane it's horrid to try to walk anywhere...and I am NOT a walking type. But Jane needs to...she really does. So...we made a try at it. But Jane got an acid attack about 3 blocks out and we power-walked back to get her home. OMG. There is a...
Got one of the chairs…
It's a little alarming. Lean back and all of a sudden it really goes back, but it's very comfy. The relief to my lower back from shedding the former seat-set is immense. And it went to a good home, some generously-sized people who will, I think, find it very comfy....
Perhaps a little off-color, but Sei is pooping rainbows…
This is the first cat I have ever had who eats things: if it falls on the floor, even if it is not food...Sei will possibly nab it and eat it. We had a strand of green corrugated Christmas ribbon turn up when we moved the chairs. Eight inches of green 1/4 inch...
The living room chairs finally gave out: ditto the bathroom plumbing…
False economy will get you in the end. The inexpensive living room chairs we got---have finally had the foam collapse in the seats, and gotten our backs so out of alignment we're limping and gimping about and really feeling the pain in the evenings when we should be...
apropos of the spammer discussion…
spam network taken out I hope they take a little expertise off the street for a long, long time... as 't were.
New coffeepot, big success.
I don't like glass coffee pots. They spill, they break, and the coffee overheats, etc. etc. I have since about 2000 used the Hamilton Beach Brewstation, and liked its press-pour tech (coffee is held brewed into a tank-dispenser, and dispenses by the pressure of a cup...
a new mail service has just delivered us a spammer whose first language is not English.
...and I must say, whose spam was not even coherent. If you are using ymail, and actually want to be a member of this site, please post and let me know. My default is to put ymail on the banned list, unless it proves a legitimate mail origin used by people who are not...
Downbelow Station now up on Audible.com
report from BCS, thank you. Btw, audible works on kindles, pcs, macs, smartphones and devices powered by android and the like. A nice audiobook makes long drives shorter.
And just to provide some reading material while we’re glitchy…
Another Martian rover---this one with the wildest landing routine since Mack Senett did films... Martian Rover: even NASA calls it scary: the equivalent of dropping a Yukon on Mars
