May the peace of the woods and sea be with you through the grace of God.Often I see photographs that are truely spiritual in context and it makes you realize that you should not miss another day before you reconnect with you Creator. These pictures epitomize my relationship with water and Christianity. I thank the photographers. I gives me time to slow down and think about all the good things in life as I admire their creations. My desire is that I would like Earth to return to the times of yesteryear when these scenes were so commonplace that one hardly took notice in the days passing. Today, in the passing of yesteryear and the pace of our lives, we feel as if there is nowhere we can find the peace that these scenes bring. In fact, there exists many secret places where this peace can exist and does, in fact, manifest itself daily in our lives. Do we have the courage and the insight to acknowledge that we could view this at a moments notice if only we made the committment? -
Hulu Desktop software

I have been using Hulu desktop software for a couple of days now and I must admit I find it a mystery. I am also not impressed by the 0.9.??.?? software. When I first tried it the software lead me to some old movies that were mildly interesting. Today the new V tv series was made available. I could not get it from the Hulu software but I did get it from Explorer. It is a complete mystery how I get from point to point with HDS. There is nothing intuitive about it and the colors are very hard to see on my LCD monitor. On second thought – wait for a while before you install the HDS.

Waiting for something

OK, I am waiting. Waiting for what? Waiting for RTV Blue Silicone Form-A-Gasket to dry. The instructions say it dries in one hour and fully cures in 24 (whatever that means). Why am I waiting for it to dry? OK here is the full story. I awoke to a drip this morning. My great plumbing job of yesterday had a very slow leak – about 1 drip per hour or two.
I went in to the hardware and bought a tube of RTV Blue, came back home, found the dishwasher churning away and no SAM. So I waited the 2 hours for it to complete its cycle and shut the pump off. I opened all the valves for the faucets around the house and waited some more for the water to drain from the pipes. Then I drained a gallon or two from the water heater to break the siphon action and removed the shutoff valve that I installed yesterday. About another gallon of water gushed out into the pan I had in the cabinet where all the trouble started a few days ago. I liberally applied the RTV Blue to both the female valve threads and the male nipple and assembled the two parts. Now I await the verdict – no leak (yes, please) or still leaking. I hate to even think of the work that is going to occur if it leaks!
Now I am waiting some more. It is a beautiful day out there and temperatures are in the high 50’s. What more could you ask for on a weekend Fall day? NO LEAKS……..
