Hey There! It's 10:17 AM EST

I'm up on my campsite this morning, having left the house early to get some work done up here. I don't think it's going to be too difficult, but of course I may be in for a surprise. The hardest part is the small shed and getting all the crap out of there. The mice had a field day in there last winter, and I never got around to cleaning out all the cardboard and what not they tore up. Once I sweep out all that stull, then it's just about reorganizing everything and storing things in the shed.

Yesterday was a ho-hum day. It was cold and rainy, so I stayed indoors and took a day off so my body could be rested for today's effort. I spent most of my time working on my computers. I took my 5TB portable hard drive upstairs and had my photos imported into Shotwell on that computer. Then I took a computer that I didn't remember I had somehow farked, but after a few hours I managed to get Mint Linux on it. It seems to restart itself for no good reason and odd times, so you could be installing something and all of a sudden, the computer would restart, and you're back to square one. I am not sure I am going to deploy it other than to see if it will remain stable, but I won't trust it with anything important.

Dinner was Coconut Mahi-Mahi with leftover brown rice and sweet potato fries. We received a big order from Omaha Steaks yesterday, so DW and I arranged that, put stuff in the freezer, and had afew of the Beer Battered Shrimp with dinner. Then the evening was spent on YouTube drooling over new camping equipment. I think I am going to write a post on my public blog about how the distance between what I'd like to have and how long I'll use it (or if I'll use it at all) is shrinking.

Notable Deaths: Richard "Dick" Cheney, former congressman, defense secretary, and VP under George Bush II.
