Here’s LRN4 and me out for a hike during our most recent campout, which took place at a nice little campground in Santa Clara County. As mentioned before, we enjoyed the place, we enjoyed the company, and we enjoyed the Shakespeare. Also enjoyed the hike pictured here. Great Art courtesy of LRN1. Part of my famous Camping series. That’s me on the left.

Welcome to post number 799! I hope I remember to celebrate tomorrow. If not, we’ll get it out of the way right now: woo hoo! That’s a lot of posts. I’ll be celebrating in style.

The weekend’s here. Plans remain in flux. I need to get the alignment done on LRN4’s car. Also probably need to clean a bunch of pool and pond filters. Also need to spend some time with LRN12.

Speaking of LRN12, thanks for the nice comment, LRN24! It’s great to be remembered, isn’t it?

We have a great opportunity that I’m thinking of taking: free lighthouse! Sure, there are a few strings attached, but how often does an opportunity like that come along? I’m taking it. I always wanted to be a lighthouse keeper. As long as I don’t have to stay up too late.

Time for bed. See you tomorrow.

Well, LRN26 appears to have gotten it right. He correctly surmised that Monday’s temple picture was taken from high atop the Conference Center. I now remember going up there, so I must have taken the picture there. There’s nowhere else I could have taken it from unless I had chartered a helicopter, which I don’t remember doing. So the Conference Center it was.

No post yesterday. It was Massive Meeting Tuesday. I went directly there from work and went pretty much directly to bed when I got home. Sorry about that, Loyal Readers.

Tonight’s Cruise Eve! It’s the night when all the good girls and boys make their packing lists and check them twice, do their remaining laundry, get out their passports, and generally get ready to go. All but the packing. We’re going to get that done early tomorrow morning.

And that means blogging will be exceptionally sporadic for the next ten days. Keep checking in, though, Loyal Readers, as I hope to find free wifi somewhere in Alaska. I might even pay for it on the ship if it turns out to be cheap enough. We’ll just have to see.

We have some tragic news here on the Morrowlife blog. Brace yourselves. The Weinermobile had a small incident. I think this must be the worst thing ever to happen in Mt. Pleasant, Wisconsin. Possibly the only thing.

Time to make that list. I’m super double excited to go. See you . . . umm . . . soon. With lots of new Great Art!

Here’s me standing on a rock at Worlds End State Park in Pennsylvania. Part of my famous Camping series.

Extreme Short Shrift tonight. I came home way early today for a medical appointment (have no fear, Loyal Readers – I was having my allergy medicine prescription renewed and getting some anti-seasickness patches for the cruise) and spent the afternoon comfortably at home, but hung around with LRN4’s book group friends when I ought to have been blogging. My loss is your gain.

Not much new, fortunately. Not anything, in fact.

So let’s have some food violence and move along: I admit it’s not exactly violent, but it any news that combines elephants and the World Champion Cranberry Sauce Eater is worth reading, if you ask me.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s a rare picture of me, holding a geocache we found at Anthony Chabot. Part of my famous Camping series.

Busy morning – we spent a little more than 6 hours working on the Eagle project. It’s going well. One more morning to go.

Spent most of the rest of the day either napping or working on the MARV accelerometer. We’ve been stymied at every turn, so it’s a little frustrating right now. LRN1 and I downloaded the software for an Arduino-based logic analyzer. Installed it (not very easy, since it doesn’t use the Arduino IDE) and . . . it doesn’t work. Makes absolutely no sense. LRN1 played around with it a little and then moved on to other things. I thought maybe the Mac version just wasn’t working right, so I installed it on a Windows virtual machine. Doesn’t work. Sigh. I need some new ideas for figuring out what’s going on with that blasted accelerometer.

Today’s food violence news: I’m not sure it qualifies as food, but it was certainly violent.

Time to finish. See you Monday.

Here are two of the baby ducks being protected by the daddy duck from yesterday. Aren’t they cute? Looks like the one on the left gets a little more than his fair share of the chow. Part of my famous Camping and Bird series.

Greetings, Loyal Readers.

Normal day. Other than the big company picnic over at the Corporate Ballfield. Free food, decent weather. No complaints.

LRN1 reports he’s still having a bit of a difficult recovery. It appears to me that there may be a bit of a suture that has broken off and lodged in the tissue at the front of his throat. Of course, I’m probably wrong. He’s going to the dentist’s office tomorrow afternoon, so the truth will be out shortly. If I’m right, I propose that each Loyal Reader send me a $100 cash reward for my excellent medical/dental diagnostic skills. If I’m wrong, we’ll forget all about it.

Update: The piece of suture broke loose at dinner tonight – LRN1 retrieved it. Where’s my hundred bucks, Loyal Readers?

I think that’s fair.

Special thanks to LRN1 for his comments on the future of Gardenville. I suspect his suggestions are right and I’m very serious about turning th website into a one-topic blog. We just have to make the commitment to update it on a regular basis. With meaningful content.

LRN2 made travel plans today for a summer visit with his friend Jay. Is Jay a Loyal Reader? Let’s have a look over there on the right. Why, yes he is! Thanks for your Loyalty, LRN21!

We have some highly important Toilet News today: The King of Toilets is nearly ready. That’s gotta be some kind of a nice toilet.

See you tomorrow.
