Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
We have passed 500 members!
Thank you all for signing up, and I hope you find it a pleasant place to hang out. I can't say, because I don't know who was the 500th member...but you all are the first member AND the 500th. Let's reach for our next 500!
Lynn reports she has made a breakthrough. We now have a template…
It has apparently stopped disappearing everytime she makes a move to remove the 'scaffold', she has apparently found all the stray asterisks, located the mistake in the instruction book, and, according to Lynn...we are now attempting to handle 'modularizing' it,...
70,000 words…and Jane has a new post.
http://www.janefancher.com/TheCaptainAndLime/ She's been doing a hysterical rundown on the woes during my absence and later---
Yet one more round with the pond.
It hadn't cleared appreciably, and new green algae started growing. Arrgh!f This is where I put on my water chemistry hat and bite the bullet and get the (fairly expensive) phosphate remover. Or, as we say in the marine reef biz, don't bother getting a test for...
68000 words. And the fish are ok.
The pond is still a murky mess, but the fish are eating, and doing well. They're spooked because they can't see in the murk, but they know our voices (try talking to your fish: "Here, fishie, fishie, fishie!") and will come when called to eat. I've also added some...
Well, the algae problem is about to win…
I did not want to use an algicide, but the soup was thick and we had hair algae on the bottom. Nastiness. I feared the pond might go oxygen-short if we let it get worse. So I bit the bullet and did it. I keep running out to be sure the fish are ok, but we are getting...
67000 words, about. Working to fish Bren out of trouble—
A quiet day. Laundry backed up for weeks---got done. I don't know if our pond sunshield is working but it's no worse. We woke up last night to thunder and lightning, unusual for Spokane, but when you have a day of 99 degree heat and 68% humidity (I don't even know...
We're getting our summer today. 99 degrees and 68 percent humidity. And a letter from Lynn.
Glug. I'm having to clean the pond filter 2x a day, each time extracting about 5 lbs of algae. Next year I'm going to investigate what's safe to partially reduce this. Lynn sent us a letter last night: she's still having troubles, but now knows why. It's progress....

Prepping e-books
The actual launch of Closed Circle is getting close enough I'm going to spend time this evening actually assembling several e-books, notably Faery in Shadow and The Writing Life: A Writer's Journal vol 1-3. Those will be the first out. Rusalka is ready, but Jane is...
Just an ordinary day with no emergencies…
I watered 4 sections of the back garden, 20 minutes a section, topped off the pond, cleaned the pond filter, adjusted the tank temp; wrote; did a little genealogy (recreation); and attempted for the 4th or 5th time that incredibly impossible form they want me to fill...
Just had some great news from Lynn…she has achieved (almost) a template…
And it looks good. She estimates about 20 more hours hammering away at the thing, and she's got some serious business to attend in the next few days that will divert her attention, but she's seeing the finish line very close. Maybe this next week, friends! Time for us...
