Cleaned up the computer, though. I prolly should get a schedule for disk check, disk cleanup, ccleaning, defragging, and the like. Had to defrag twice, lol! Anyways, by the time I *did* get back to bed, I sure slept good.puddlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-7048494687523694722010-09-20T23:28:35.000-04:002010-09-20T23:28:35.000-04:00Good grief, Puddle!Good grief, Puddle!Catreonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-83816814134038718092010-09-20T23:12:23.000-04:002010-09-20T23:12:23.000-04:00Missed most of my day, lol!

It was specially chosen for her and her Great Aunt Janet (Hubby's younger sister) got her astronomers (at the Museum she runs) to take a photo of it with their huge telescope, for Ally. Ally even has the coordinates, so she knows where her star is! 8-)listenernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-21021808849256260132010-09-20T21:00:28.000-04:002010-09-20T21:00:28.000-04:00Hallo all!
Alan...Sounds like your life is very f...Hallo all!<br /><br />Alan...Sounds like your life is very full and fruitful these days! <br /><br />I too have been busy. Today I gave the house a spruce using some grease from Elbownia. Susan, you got me scrubbing and I thought of you as I scrubbed around the toilet. LOL!<br /><br />Then I went outside and planted the rest of my Mums. Then Son*who*is*4th*child came by and helped me plant a Silky Dogwood bush. That involved taking out the errant Red Osier Dogwood I was sold last year, rotating last year's Silky Dogwood 120 degrees and moving it to where the Red was, then planting the new Silky where last year's Silky had been. (You all got that, right? LOL!) Anyway, I now finally have two SIlky Dogwoods together and the Red Osier is looking for a home. I figure one of the kids will want it. Silky Dogwood is a native species here, so we're happy to have them!<br /><br />Then I came in and made dinner and just took an apple crisp out of the oven. As my friend Dory would say, "My dogs are tired."listenernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-85782455691502529652010-09-20T12:43:23.000-04:002010-09-20T12:43:23.000-04:00Beautiful Fall day here!Beautiful Fall day here!Catreonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-20441129390405561862010-09-20T12:42:40.000-04:002010-09-20T12:42:40.000-04:00Wow, Alan, you're a genius!

Now, if you figure out how to capture video off a DVD so it can be made into a YouTube compatible "movie," I'd be most interested in hearing how.Catreonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-50700823391187121512010-09-20T02:25:15.000-04:002010-09-20T02:25:15.000-04:00It's not quite Monday out here yet; the full ...It's not quite Monday out here yet; the full moon is somewhat past the meridian and Jupiter is a little to the east of it. The brightness of Jupiter isn't so obvious with the full moon so near, but bright it is.<br /><br />Got our new iMac all set up to please, now having problems with the old Mac tower.

The capturing is a little hit and miss, but with persistence works well enough.<br /><br />Sorry to be absent lately, but things intervene...<br /><br />Good thoughts to all, and to all a good night.Alan in CAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15940389.post-52264085103415839672010-09-20T00:43:18.000-04:002010-09-20T00:43:18.000-04:00Believe I saw that star shining just over Howard&#...Believe I saw that star shining just over Howard's shoulder. . . .puddlenoreply@blogger.com
