Rain today

I am alone on the boat this weekend and only working half time at URS because it is a slow period. I intended to work on the electrica short problem today, Saturday, but instead I stripped some more on the cockpit coaming. This is the last reamaining gauldy looking wood on the boat. I had just finished and it started raining. We shall see what a weeks worth of rain will do to teak.

My web server crashed last week and the VAR was corrupt. The Linux machine had a ungraceful shutdown due to an immediate power outage that I myself generated. I had to do a lot “sqrt’ing” to get it back running. I dread the day the machine goes down for good as it means no more for most of my websites that I have had running for more than 5 years. I guess everything must sooner or later die.

Prairie Home Companion is a great joy of mine. For some reason it reminds me of my roots and gives me a nostalgic feeling. When I was a kid my cousins and I used to dtay up late reading out loud to each other stories from “Pecks Bad Boy” and we would laugh and laugh. I wish I was a kid again and with my cousins. What a great life and joyful growing up time we had as a close family unit in our 500 person village.

I made spagetti with a chile sauce for lunch and at the same time made
Taboule for dinner. Tomorrow is the last day for Blueberries so I went over and bought 2# for dinner. My cream was sour so I used milk and brown sugar instead as my dinner desert.

Thistle & Shamrock is now playing on PBS. That also makes me nostalgic for Scotland and it is a place I love. That is all for tonight.
