Here’s more of LRN4’s Great Art – footprints in the sand. I believe they may be LRN1’s or LRN2’s footprints. Or somebody else’s. Only LRN4 knows for sure. Part of my famous Camping series.

Extreme Short Shrift. We had family home evening and were otherwise occupied this evening, and I’m already late for bed.

LRN4 has started putting one half of the upstairs soft back together, with new upholstery, natch. It’s looking good already. Apparently, the reassembly is the easiest, quickest part. She’s already done the sewing, which was the second easiest part. Then there were the cushions, which she shopped out for a very reasonable price, so they were pretty easy too, except for writing the check. Turns out the hardest part is getting the old upholstery off. Who would have guessed? Anyway, she’s making excellent progress. It’s going to be really nice when she’s done. We had that sofa made back in San Diego, which makes it officially Really Old.

Otherwise a good weekend. Did some stuff, including getting LRN4’s new laptop (aka LRN1’s old laptop) set up and in production on her desk. She has to get used to it, but I think she’ll be very happy with it. It took her old Mac Mini (aka my really old Mac Mini), reinstalled the OS, and have it in my office, looking for a mission. Maybe another media server. Possibly for our bedroom, so we can watch Netflix, which we can’t do on my AppleTV. Time will tell.

Got a few other things done, but I can’t remember what they were. They must have been Real Important, though.

And it’s time to hit the sack. I’ll leave you with this tragic food violence news: steak assault! I have no idea how such a nice lady could be so cruel.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s the coastline at Big Sur a couple of years ago. Great Art courtesy of LRN4 and part of my famous Camping series.

Greetings from the train! This will have to be quick, as we’re just pulling out of Tracy (meaning I have maybe 15 minutes left before we pull into Lardville) and the laptop is down to about 18% battery power. Might have to finish at home.

No post yesterday. I was at work(!) watching our aircraft successfully shoot at missiles. It’s been all over the news today. What a great night we had – the culmination of at least sixteen years of work (and about 3.5 years for me personally). And they said it couldn’t be done. Behold the video: right here.

Otherwise normal day – we spent much of it patting each other on the back, which we pretty much do every day, being highly-intelligent and unusually attractive rocket scientists and all.

Anyway. Got a hundred more names of indexing done tonight, not to mention another letter written to LRN1. So it’s been a productive commute. Speaking of which, the drive last night was exceptionally quick, it being so late and all. The good news is that this morning’s commute was nearly equally quick. Very little slowdown. I’m sure it was a different story out there on the freeways this afternoon, so I’m just as happy to be on the train. My beloved Honda spent the night in the Lardville train station lot, so I’m hoping it fared well. Will know in a few minutes. In any case, it’s insured.

Time to shut down and pack up. I’ll finish this at home.

We just did our taxes. We owe some for I believe the first time ever. Yikes! My beloved Honda was just fine, you’ll be relieved to find out, Loyal Readers. Otherwise, situation normal.

Check out LRN1’s address over there on the right. I’ll keep it updated for the next two years. Drop him a line!

I’ll leave you with tonight’s toilet news: flying toilet blockages. I shudder to think of the cause.

Here’s a . . . umm . . . I have no idea. It’s some kind of farm implement or something. Found in the park where we had our last campout of the summer. So it’s part of both my famous Machinery and my Camping series.

Short Shrift tonight. It’s getting late already and I want to get to bed. No post yesterday due to More or Less Massive Meeting Tuesday. We started a little later than some other weeks and we ended on time, so it wasn’t bad. But there was no time for blogging.

Cool day. I was positively cold on the train platform this morning, with only my light jacket for comfort. I’m thinking of wearing a slightly heavier one tomorrow, as it’s supposed to be similarly cool in the morning. It snowed heavily in Denver today, I hear, and LRN1 reported at least a little snow in Provo. So I can’t complain. Much.

All else is well. So I’ll end not with toilet violence, but with a Very Special Toilet Employment Opportunity. My Loyal Readers will want to put in their applications immediately. Best of luck to all of you.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s LRN4 in front of the pond on the grounds of the rich guy’s house pictured in yesterday’s blog. Being a pond fan, I had a snap a photo. Also an LRN4 fan, by the way. Part of my famous Camping series.

Pretty good weekend. I got the pool filters cleaned, which was a Real Good Idea. They were filthy. And now they’re clean(ish). Also got some other things done, most of which escape me at the moment.

Still waiting for LRN1’s mission call to come. Maybe this week.

I went back to the dentist’s office this afternoon to get my fallen-off filling replaced. They replaced another old filling while they were at it. Which was good, because they found a “significant amount” of decay around it. Yikes. Fortunately, I’m as sound as the pound again.

Which brings me to my other appointment this afternoon – went to the doctor’s office for a physical. I’m in great shape, but need lower cholesterol. Since I’m already living a perfectly healthy lifestyle, my doctor gave me some cholesterol lowering medication. Let’s hope it works. I’d like to live a few more years. A lot more years, in fact. Let’s hope. The blog just wouldn’t be the same without me.

Let’s close with some highly important Salad Violence news: can you blame the guy? I’m certainly not about to cast the first stone on this one.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s a rich guy’s outdoor fireplace. At least it used to belong to a rich guy. He’s dead now. The fireplace – and the house it’s attached to – now belong to a county park. They use it as a conference center or something like that. It looks like it was truly beautiful back when the rich guy owned it. Great Art taken during our August camping trip. Part of my famous Camping series.

Normal work Friday. I came home a little early, so we had time to jacuzzify this evening. It’s about 9:30 now and I’m already exhausted. Time for bed.

The weekend isn’t very well planned at this point. It turns out LRN6 isn’t coming for LRN12 tomorrow. We don’t know when he’ll be here at this point. So we have LRN12 with us for the foreseeable future, I guess. Need to start treating it like it’s permanent. We’re really enjoying her.

Anyway, the pool filters really need cleaning badly, so I’ll get that done. Also have lots of other things that could be cleaned up and/or put away and/or thrown away. Need to get to a few of them.

The food violence crime wave continues. Today’s heinousness: chicken robbery.

See you on Monday.
