  • The Leonids a bust for us …

    I saw one meteor. Faint and barely noticeable around 2am, with the moon brightly shining high in the sky but moving towards the Western sky. Things were clear. At 3:15am I check things out, and there were a few wispy clouds, the moon was further away from the “viewing area” so that was an improvement…

  • New computer!

    I built our newest computer last night. It’s so nice to have a fast machine again. I still don’t have my laptop back. I’ll sure be glad when I do, but in the mean time now, I’ve got a decent machine to use! Perhaps I’ll get some kind of posting of pictures done. As for…

  • Autumn brings …

    It’s Autumn now. We’ve had lots of rain, the good kind, in the past week and a half. It’s raining today again, 1/2 inch so far today. It’s also cool, in the low 60’s. Wow! It feels so nice outside, even with all that humidity. It’s reminding me of how it’ll feel in another couple…
