And Brent has stuff going on in Atlanta tomorrow, so we will be holding down the fort. Heading to the kitchen to figure out supper.

And get things together for tomorrow as we (Cat and I) have got the entire operation to ourselves once again. Mark is headed to Michigan.

All the ones I need to put the laptop back together anyway. Was gonna do that tonight but have still got to fix supper.

Well, after a 2 hour search, I found my magnifiers in a place I looked several days ago. Now have all necessary tools in one place.

Gotta go to Valley Antiques to put out some new stuff and do a bit of rearranging. Back asap… 😉

Now to see if I can move my home folder from this machine to the new one over the network. But that will be later, after we get back.

Resize worked fine. Took some time to get through the check disk and then after a couple of more restarts tis all working as designed.

Well, Ubuntu installed and runs fine. Vista is having to run check disk prior to restarting, and is taking longer than the install did. 🙁

Haven’t tried the resize function before. Guess I’ll see if it works as advertised. For now am gonna lie down and read a bit.

Got the latest Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/maverick/alpha3 resizing the Vista partition and installing on the new computer now.

Downloading the newest alpha Ubuntu release. Tried the previous one and liked it quite a bit more than 10.04. Gonna install it when done.

Getting a very late start today. Hoping I’m caught up on sleep. Got nearly 12 hours last night. Still tired but feel better than yesterday.

At least there isn’t water in the kitchen floor now…

Ended up crashing and just got up to turn the water back on, and it all seems to be holding. Will check it out further when more awake.

Also suspect this means that the pipe I ran 20 + years ago is in need of replacing. Am so NOT looking forward to that job…

Figure I have another half hour at the very least to go prior to putting pressure back on the system so most likely gonna be late tomorrow.

waiting for the glue to dry now to see if homemade fittings are gonna hold pressure so I can get a shower and go to bed.

What started out to be a easier than lately evening at home has ended up with water in the kitchen floor and plumbing fittings in the lathe.

So tired when I get home I just flop and after eating call it a night. Hoping to get back to something more approaching normal soon.

Been a week so far. Have ended up running the whole operation for the last 3 days and most likely tomorrow too.

Looked around and bought a old photograph and some knives, then headed home. Spent some time cleaning the photo and am now chilling…

Hung the sign and a new flag. Then did a bit of stuff in the booth and sat and talked with some friends for a bit.

After lunch went back out and made some brackets to hang the sign at Valley Antiques, then loaded up and went out there and installed them.

This was done without a shirt and in shorts and sandels. Have now got my first sunburn of the year. Still need to cut more but not today.

Winding down after a long week of not feeling good. Spent most of the morning cutting grass after getting the weedeater going.

Still feel like crap but functioning a bit better than earlier in the week. Hoping tomorrow will be back to normal though not betting on it.

Got there late after paying the water bill. Then left early to pay the Cable bill. Afterwards took a load of new stuff to Valley Antiques.

Been out of it for a while. Still doing things but not posting. Twas our first day (or partial day anyway) back at work this week.
