It's a Beautiful Morning in the Neighborhood...and Hot!

Up early to avoid heat. Waiting on sun to rise. Did my twitter post for the morning. Was enjoying a session of Guild Wars last night that was interrupted by an everlasting phone call that had no purpose, accomplished nothing and rambled on and on with many 'don't hang up yet' interjections. The alcohol finally took over and they fell asleep. Hey, sometimes you just have to sit and listen. Grin and bear it. Made taking evening meds late and that's always frustrating. You have to wait until later the next morning to take the next round. Really a small problem though. Sometime friends need help and a kind ear can mean a lot of comfort.

Working on a ladder today. This is the first time since I fell and ripped my shoulder open. At least it's just a 5' ladder today. Redoing a head-in. It's in a home!! The enclosure was rebuilt and John H did a nice job. Plenty of room to mount all the devices. I'll work on it until the heat is not tolerable then move inside. I hope this can be finished quickly. It was originally scheduled before the ladder crashing incident. At least all the devices are working. There's also a door to air conditioned space 10' away. This was planned for yesterday afternoon, but 100 degrees called that appointment off. We'll see how it goes this morning. While in church please say a prayer for me.

Have had several good suggestions about the new page layout. I will rid us all of that aggravating trackback nuisance. Working on making the nice Chyna Moon header move to a center position over the page. If anyone has a clue about how to center the header please, please let me know. Several hours of research have produced zilch! Due to people using various resolutions it can't be expanded to go completely across the top. Well, I can't do such a thing as of now. That may change. Will try to embolden the comments and move them down at least one line. Eventually the sidebar to the right will see better style and organization. Plan on having a Dock's Daily Read List and move most of the blogs out of the links into this area. Links will be various. Most of them will be tech help that involves freeware. The posting background needs to move one step lighter on the gray scale. Everyone seems to dislike white or black backgrounds so trying to avoid both extremes.

Enough. Dawn is breaking and I have miles to go before I sleep. Fortunately none are very far from the beach house. Enjoy Sunday and stay kewl. A scorcher is predicted for today. You can mow that yard when it cools off. Today would be a great day to take in a movie. Theater and home will both work. Peace out!
