A Machinist I’m Not

June 19, 2003

I finally started work on getting the sawmill up and running. The angle iron for the track has been sitting here for a month, the carriage a month longert than that. I just need to drill 20 holes in quarter inch steel, and that’s that. Yup. I got Jeremy to help me move the angle [...]

Signs of summer

June 17, 2003

The garden is slowly transitioning from all blues and purples to the reds and oranges that signal that summer is coming. Most notably, my poppy bloomed, for the first time ever. In my old garden, I had an entire bed of poppies, right near the front, very full and beautiful. In particular, we’d gotten a [...]

Redhat 9 breaks webalizer

June 17, 2003

Yep folks, another artifact of the upgrade from Redhat 8 to Redhat 9. Most of my domains lost incremental processing of usage statistics.

After we could barely move from exhaustion, we soaked off the grime in the whirlpool tub and then [...]

Lisa’s Saturday chores

June 14, 2003

One of the things I got done this Saturday was planting the stuff from swapping that had come in during the week while I was out of town. I got some Monarda Purple Bea Balm in on the side of the pergola by the chives. I didn’t actually need more bea balm, but since I [...]

Frank’s Saturday Chores

June 13, 2003

Another busy day. I finally removed the old pond pump. This entailed cutting it’s cord at both ends and leaving the middle section in the ground. It was buried more than a foot deep in places, under rocks. It wasn’t worth fighting with. If I can fix the pump, I can get it a new [...]
