Budd had the day off yesterday, so I thought maybe I'd get my new computer set up. Didn't realize he was waiting for the UPS delivery to bring his new monitor so he could use them side-by-side for the setup. Now that he has everything networked and backing up daily, I am completely dependent on him for the computer stuff. To think, I used to do this for an entire hospital (before PC networks though...we were on mainframes with some PCs for desktop access).
Anyway, did one more day of tutoring with the old PC, and now am on the new. I'll say this for it...it deals the cards on PokerStars faster. On the other hand, the screen fonts are either too big or too small, can't seem to find a happy medium. Hoping this solves some of the problems I have in the tutor.com classroom, so I don't waste so much unpaid time waiting for it to 'unfreeze'. Funny, that made me think of when my daughters used to say 'unthaw'. "What do you want me to unthaw for dinner tonight, Mom?" Wierd.
Rainy but strangely mild yesterday. Felt like fall, and we could almost believe it was since there are brown leaves still on the trees. Blue skies with a few scattered clouds today, and windy. But the weather forecast online says it's snowing. Guess I'd better go stock up on milk and eggs, and figure out something for Budd's birthday tomorrow before the weather catches up to the forecast.
Budd popped in not long after he left for work this morning to pick up the Tahoe we drove to Page. Turns out they are giving it to him for the duration so he's not driving his personal vehicle between maintenance and the visitor center where his office is. He also told me that he has to completely re-think his project, as they won't allow him to drill into the walls. Seems the building is rife with asbestos. This one-step-forward and one-step-back makes him grumpy. Wish he could make some progress he's happy with, or the Jazz would go on a long winning streak. Either one would brighten his outlook.
I can see clouds gathering beyond the ridge to the west, which means Chinle is about to get weather...better make that milk run quickly.
