Got up at 5AM, washed dishes (in the sink, with my bare hands), made several salads.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the firewood stuff Freebird. I'm still scratching my head on how to handle the wood pile. It'll have to be some combo of tarping and airing out. We cannot really do a wood shed on the property. Also have to watch out that the homeowners association doesn't disapprove of our wood pile solution. Anyway the stuff will not go in the garage this year!2 day report...
Last night...thanks to LSBCAL for making me think about rotting wet wood and critters
I had a bunch of old wood sitting below my porch, supposedly to use for burning in my concrete fireplace. Well....2 years later, it was rotted and full of pinholes. So I cleaned it all out of there and burned it ALL.

I don't know which is worse-- digging up the sprinkler piping to do the work, or finding someone and then supervising them digging it up.And how much quality surfing and book-writin time are you going to sacrifice, not to mention wear and tear on your no-longer-all-that-resilient old bod?
Just askin...
It's the only way to fly, as far as I know. We could start a list,Got up at 5AM, washed dishes (in the sink, with my bare hands), made several salads.
Walt, I am glad to hear that GoodWill took your TV. I have an old 19" CRT TV that I want to donate but wasn't sure if they would take it.
And yes, that is a very unusual and spectacular centerpiece!
I may make "pot pie" size pies this year. I have several small foil tins hanging around.
Went to a pet adoption fair this morning sans kids and DW. Probably too early for us, but the remaining dog has cancer and a 6 to 12 month life expectancy, so if we do not want a house totally empty of dogs we need to start doing some thinking and then looking.
I have plenty of things I should be doing today, and I believe that I've succeeded in avoiding every one of them...
The young wife and I just returned from observing Jupiter and Uranus through my telescope.
North Shore surfing-- in September!
Dawn patrol was too quiet at Pu'a Ena point so I went up the road to Kammies, which came in at 6-10. I would've been better off with my bigger, slower (and softer) board but I'm getting the hang of the shorter one.
Two words: fun nel.Currently I am nearly crossed-eyed from sucking a frozen strawberry daiquiri through a straw.
I thought about that...but lord only knows I don't need a brain freeze...Two words: fun nel.

Oooooh....mmm, hmmmm...it's rather warm in TX..Is it still like 400F in Texas? It's still so hot here, my timer just popped up... I could use a frozen daiquiri.
By the time you search this board for the keywords "Microsoft Money" and "Quicken" and finish reading the threads, you'll be so sick of both that you'll plagiarize an OpenOffice spreadsheet.Next hurdle is to replace Microsoft Money. Any hints?

+1 - WOW!!I had used Money since v1 (1995?) and was very disappointed with MS's decision to abandon it -- so, perhaps, my learning curve was steeper than it should have been. Nevertheless, I find that, as a pure accounting tool, Moneydance is more in line with how it should be done. Probably the biggest difference, however, is in Moneydance's support system. They have, for instance, an extremely active Forum and, I believe, that they, eventually, will build a very powerful financial program for us non-accountants -- although it is "as good as" Money now. (Money's support, as you know, was best described as non-existent.)YMMV
Currently sticking to MS Money and double entering it into my Banks Bill Pay system. IF anyone has found a workable EZ solution to that, LMK.
