your story about sending frozen food reminds me of the time my sister came from NM to visit here and packed some frozen chilis in her luggage (which they lost and then we had it delivered two days later to where we were staying up north). *phew!* lol
gl with HG and baby checkup.
the area where this is at i may be digging up entirely pretty deep anyways (to remove the quack grass that is invading and to put down a barrier for preventing that from happening again of some kind) so in the process of doing that i'll get a chunk of fence cut to fit across that area and they...
while working on the pathway edge yesterday i was able to see where the killdeer was sitting on her eggs. outside the fence this time. we doubt that she will get them hatched (the raccoons tend to find them eventually) and then she'll start another attempt someplace else. this is the fairly...

oh, and i called washing machine repair people again and they said that they finally got the parts in...
we've had late enough frosts the past few years that the lone lilac tree hasn't bloomed very much. it probably could also use a bit of trimming to regenerate it and get it back to a more compact form.
got a test version done this morning (4-6am is a great time to not be interrupted :) ) now to see how it tests out and to use it... i won't replace the current version until the new test version gets some use to make sure i didn't do anything silly.
file this under if you ever wonder why accountants go nuts... :)
i wrote a little program to compute some numbers on buy, sells and splits of investment shares. in researching it i found out about things i didn't know before (a newer programming language (Python) that has a data type...
anytime you want to practice i have plenty of trees and brush that could use some cutting back or bringing down. must be insured, etc. etc. we will feed you...
