My day
Sometimes I just have a good day. That was today. I got soooo much done. Started out installing linux on my new laptop. That was pretty painless. Went out and the sun was shining and the temp was rising. Got on the mower and got the yard done and trimmed. Pulled up my tomato plants and mulched that with the mower. Made a pot of chili. Edit: Left out washing the Cayman and the truck. Got on the phone and got enrolled in a medicare advantage plan. New for me so, lots of reading. Yes I am old. Went to the barn and hung out with a buddy. Came home and got my wireless printer working with he new linux laptop. (not as simple as Windows) Now drinking a beer and enjoying the internet. If every day went like this my life would be super. Just had to post up.

G'day!

That's awesome, Jack....especially the part about the computer work that went so smoothly. Every time I do stuff with my computer I end up frustrated because of something not making any sense...lol.
Last weekend I built a 6' x 24' metal panel canopy for my back patio and did everything myself. Felt good all week just looking at the dividend paid off by my efforts. Would love to hear more about the Medicare program. I'm 63 and will be looking at something like that fairly soon....another year and a half, I guess. I was going to use Humana.

Days like that re-ground us, and make us remember why we are here. I have taken every Friday in October off work for about 10 years now. It is a time that I can just be at home alona, have a leisurly lunch, play with the dogs, cut some firewood, finish a couple of small projects, and just slow down for a day......truly needed most weeks.

If it doesn't, then consider running VirtualBox under your Windows system, and run Linux as a VM |
