Important FREE links and weather ramblings

AVG Anti-virus, Spybot Search & Destroy, and Ad-Aware are important and FREE. They are permanently listed in the links column, but you can click on the words in this paragraph and be directed to the appropriate site. Setting up these programs for maximum protection may be tricky and I will gladly answer any email or comments. Nice thing is that after the initial setup they only have to be updated and run to do their job. If you like these utilities and can afford it, upgrade and donate!

VistaIIIMedia has changed their web site and it is much, much, much better! Anyone in the immediate area should consider their cable service and internet service. Saltillo residents are only a few weeks away from being two way concerning cablemodem. In the past I've been disgusted with upload speed, but these folks are making a good effort and very helpful with problems. They respond very quickly if you are having issues. Besides, they are polite and that's rare. A link is posted.

Stormed across Saltillo last night. We had all kind of warnings, tornado, flood, flash flood, thunderstorms. The neighborhood gravitates towards the stormhouse during such periods and I purposely leave the door unlocked. Am sure the insurance agent and lawyer would disapprove, but if it grants my neighbors solace then far be it from me to deny such. I go in it every few months to check the cleanliness, but don't bother during inclimate weather. Don't get me wrong if I see a tornado coming my butt will make a dive for it. Storms don't bother me that much. Just a 'rider'.

Should be a great day; clear, temps in high 60s (that's F no clue as to C) and humidity low and steady. After the massive rain during the night the ground will be soaked, but still a great day to bask in the sun. Only have to work outside of the shop for about 4 or 5 hours this weekend. It will be muddy, a new home construction site. Used to be fun when others didn't work 7 days a week, but now we all seem to bang into each other. At least I have the supplementary income.

Everyone have a good weekend. Get outside if possible. Catch some rays.
