"Forget the Flowers"……..Nope it didn't snow! Another hot one, but more breezy and some mostly cloudy – hope that doesn't mean more lightning and fires.
Icicles …..Last night Betty and I had our weekend visit on the phone, and she said to send some winter/snow/cold photos, so I picked out a few. Hope they make you feel cold for a few seconds.
Last night at 7 p.m. it was still 89 degrees, very unusual. It didn't cool off in the house until early morning.
I really really would like something like a brownie sundae all gooey with chocolate fudge.
A root beer float would be wonderful too.
Yesterday Sandy and I had a nice day painting together. She got here about 10 a.m. and left about 5:30. I really enjoyed her and the visit. Lunch turned out good too. Sandy finished a couple of paintings she had started and I finally finished redoing the face on Susie's sled painting. For better or worse that's the way its staying now. I'll take it back to her next time I go that way. I also worked some more on my large aspen painting and its coming along pretty well. Now the real work begins.
One of Joe's old friends from LLL at Livermore called yesterday, that was a surprise. Then the phone cut them off – this is one of the things it has been doing. The phone co. says our system is getting outdated and its hard to find new parts. Today I got the oven cleaned and glad that is done. Then washed the windows outside, and that's certainly an improvement. Joe is raking and baling his last patch of hay today and he will be done. <P> Called the Sony technical support this morning and after two days of it sitting there with a snowy screen got the "new" TV to give us a picture. It was fairly easy with someone giving the directions on how to set it up. It is definitely not as nice as the one we had that went bad. The color, sharpness and noise of the picture are not nearly the same quality. This is a reconditioned one, and this is not going to work – i.e. we're not going to be happy with the inferior picture. So in the morning I'll call their customer support and tell them to send us a brand new one or come and get this and give us our money back. The support person was Grace in Manilla. She was very helpful and at least I could understand her. She said it was 1:30 a.m. there. Note: so far it is over three weeks since the TV first went bad. I'm really tired of all this broken stuff.
This evening I'll try to get the internet connection back with hughes.net again. Will let you know how that goes.
