Greetings.
It is still raining just enough to keep things wet. At this rate we'll need a hay bailer when we finally get the grass cut. Skywise is POed.

Morning.
The sun has finally come out. Hopefully for longer than five minutes.

Evening.
It's been a busy day. Skywise finally got the grass cut. The yard looks like a newly mowed hay field but at least the grass isn't knee high now.
I worked in the basement since we're having the new internet hooked up tomorrow and the hub of our family network is down there. I'm STILL cleaning up after the flood earlier this year. I've been holding off on serious reorganizing waiting on the internet installation. Once that's done, I'll be digging into the job. I expect an extra can of trash going out every week for so for a while.

It's early but I'm tired/yawning and tomorrow is going to be a busy day so I'm going to head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley  Smiley

So far, so good.

Afternoon.          
The phone line is buried.
We've contacted HughesNet. There is happily only one month left on our contract so paying it off won't be a problem. They've told Skywise what we'll need to send back to them. They'll send us a box for that along with instructions on how to disconnect the "thingie" on the dish in the front yard.
No more tracking megabytes and gigabytes.
No more losing the signal when it rains really hard.
No more not being able to download upgrades/large pdfs until after 2 am.
No more not being able to watch anything on YouTube at any time.
So far, no problems with Sanctuary's software failing to recognize me.
It's all good.

The severe weather has passed. Skywise and Spirit got caught in it when they went to get his check. Half inch hail, heavy rain and strong wind. They had to pull over in the shelter of a tree until it let up.
I've had all sorts of trouble with Bank of America tonight -- they didn't like my Photobucket order -- and Green Dot isn't winning any points with me either. The software on the site I want to buy the fabric for our GB uniforms refused to process my order and when I went to send them an email about it, our email decided to be snotty so I had to fight with THAT tonight.
I am exhausted and still a bit POed about everything. I'm going to check the radar one last time and head for bed.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
After last night's storms, today is bright, sunny and warm. Spring may finally be here.

We had internet trouble last night. We think that the storms may have had something to do with it. We got off easy but there was some damage in town. Anyway, it came back and is working okay so far.

Green Dot debit card has either locked my account -- with approximately $180 in it -- or confiscated my money. Either way, it's gone. I used my credit card -- which I did NOT want to do -- to order the fabric for our GB uniforms. I'm grateful that I was able to get some items using it before they folded -- or whatever they did. Now I'll have to find another way to "pay as I go" for the GB stuff I still need or get another credit card JUST for that that I can pay off monthly. NO car repairs on it.

I've spent the evening enjoying the fact that I no longer have to keep track of megabytes and gigabytes and can search to my heart's content. The object of today's searches concern Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. Specifically, I've been looking for suitable photos for character cards for an update of West End Games long out of print Ghostbusters rpg. A couple of years ago -- after the movie came out -- someone made up some character cards using the blank cards that came with the game. So today I hunted up the ones I didn't have. We found a better picture of Kevin and -- with a little finagling -- Skywise put it on his card. I have a picture suitable for Dr. Gorin and one for Benny the Soup Guy so I may make them up too. New gear cards will be next then, I'll see what I can do about adventures. As one person pointed out, the game modules that came out with the RPGs where a bit "cartoony" -- more like the Real Ghostbusters than the movies which while having their funny moments, were intended to be scary. So I want to turn my hand to that when I need a break from Book 4. Yes, I'm still working on it and NOT posting about it. I seem to work better that way.

Anyway, I'm sitting here yawning Smiley so I'm going to head for bed.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon.
We're back from "Saturday stuff" and doing chores. Skywise is making headway and I will be soon. Just taking a minute to get caught up.

It's finally cool enough in the house to make dinner. Moonie's working on it now.

Dinner's over and it's cool enough in the house to sleep. We seem to have skipped late spring/early summer and jumped right into mid-summer.
Oh happy day. Anyway, I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon.
Back from the Children's Museum.
We got .70 inches of rain while we were gone. The sun is now out and I need to get dinner in the crockpot if we're going to eat before midnight!

We have a large piece of tree down on the path up to the Old House.
Windy as hell.

The storm is over, pretty much, and they've issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for us.
Little late guys.

We got two tenths of an inch of rain out of that storm which lasted about 15 minutes, more or less. Thank the Gods it was a narrow little line.....
The "piece of tree" that came down is still attached to the tree too high up to reach. That's the first problem. The second problem is that it is caught/being propped up in a "V" near where it broke. Getting it down safely is going to take some thought. The fact that it is a black locust tree increases the difficulty by several orders of magnitude. Locust is fast growing, prolific, rot resistant and very strong. It is also somewhat brittle and hard to cut, even with a chainsaw.
At least it missed the van.....
