Fancy Computer Skins
This rocket trip home seems punctuated with errands and chores. The big chore of course were the new windows. They were installed yesterday and today we marked that chore done-done, when we put the house back together again. The biggest item involved with the windows was reinstalling the blinds. We had a fair amount of trouble with them, but persevered and got all of the blinds reinstalled, then put all of the furniture back where it was before. Other miscellaneous chores included a trip to East Kansas City, where our dentist has moved to. Anne got her hair cut and I still have to do that too. My other activity was replacing the laptop. Because of a clerical error, I thought that the computer store would fix the device, because it was still under warranty, but that was a mistake. I elected to get a new refurbished laptop, plus an in-store warranty. I’ll figure out what to do with the old laptop, when we get back to town in the fall. It is going to need a new mother board, so it will not be cheap.
1∞ Wheeler Passing Us in the Rain
This morning, we launched early and made good progress until about sixty miles from home. As you can see. Anne was driving and she did a yeoman’s job behind the wheel, but when the last rest stop presented itself, she took the opportunity to bale. I drove the remainder, except as we were leaving the rest stop, the clouds parted, the skies brightened and the sun even came out. I guess she wasn’t doing it right after all. Anyway, we’re home now. 😉
Smooth Sailing Tregurtha
Tomorrow, we begin the long journey home. We will spend a couple of nights in Ann Arbor, before heading on to the Lou. We have a few appointments there, most importantly supervising the installation of new windows. With them, we will again have flow through ventilation, both east-west and north-south. It has been quite a few years since we could enjoy that simple pleasure. Combined with their replacement, we also have a new air conditioner, for those too hot days. After we finish all of our business in town, we will work our way north again, for summer part two.
