Greetings, gang.
Cloudy, dark, and 19 degrees outside my window this evening.
Miss a couple days and three pages have gone by. First off, congrats to RB and AF. Sounds like you both had good days yesterday. Wed. was a day of non-accomplishment for me as I was still under the weather. Yesterday My Fair Lady and I traveled down the road a ways to get her eyes retested. She was having trouble seeing at a distance. We'll know if that is resolved when her new lenses come in, probably next week. Then we hit a few stores in Ames to pick up some needed (and some unneeded) items. One of the new items is a Network Attached Storage drive. Hooked it in to my router and spent some time trying figure out how to do a full disk backup. Finally figured that out this morning. Once I got that going it took 4 hours to complete.
Also on tap for today was a retirement reception for a friend. After that was some grocery shopping. Home by lunch time. This afternoon was fairly quiet. My Fair Lady has gone to bed as I think she is just getting what I am just getting over. She's not happy about that as she is just starting the final push to get everything ready for Christmas.
Tomorrow we'll mail out the first of the packages full of presents to distant relatives. That will be followed by house cleaning as our older daughter and her husband will coming over for our first Christmas celebration of the season.
All stay safe.
Tom
