If the rain eased up a bit, it might be raining cats and dogs. As it is, more like raining cows and horses. Water over the road all over the place.

Wife's got a tablet she uses more than the laptop. She uses it for music, but downloads, not streaming. When you use satellite for internet, streaming anything will eat your data up! If you want to get better sound quality than the tablet speaker gives, you can get one of those small wireless speakers to go with it. Sound's better that way.

WI Fi at home and have a bunch on the card I had for the phone.   May get one of those speakers, but with my ears it ain't a big deal.

The worst missed us, saying 2-4 now.

[Russ T Chambers]

Made it back from Milwaukee without a hitch.  The weather was very unseasonal (rain Monday and Wednesday, temps in the mid to upper 40's all week).  America Airlines got me there and back in fine shape (don’t know what United might have done to me).

Got back to a layer of snow and temperatures hovering right above and below freezing.  Still managed to grill some chicken outside last night.  The house/cat sitter kept everything together quite well.

I had cleared out the old furniture in prep for delivery of our new sectional, and now they are pushing out the delivery date from the purchase date by about 9 weeks.  Told the wife I won’t go near an Ashley store for the rest of my life.  Oh well!

Somebody's inventory computer really goofed,Russ-T

In the 30's with a right cold rain Got myself pretty damp doing rounds this morning.

Got Cissy interred at our oldest boy's place Saturday. Finally hit the SIL yesterday after she backed off the new meds VA put her on. The new pup is getting to be quite a character. Helped me fold clothes yesterday( snitched my socks). Have decided that the pound didn't really know what she was. Believe now that she's a Lhasa mix, mixed with what don't know. ::)Her new alias is PP( Pound Puppy)
