I am popping back in for some minor updates and whines on another early Saturday morning. What's going on? What's going on? Hmm, a lot, but I don't want to jinx anything that's going on.

I spent most of the week hauling wood. Long time readers know my whines about this. I mean, if you go back to the fall of 2001 and 2002 (now both in the archives), you'll see that I tend to whine a lot in the fall about that kind of stuff. As I've gotten older it hasn't really gotten harder it's more of a problem of motivation. I mean I'm no more worn out now than I was then, it's just getting something under my butt to go out there and actually do the work that's the problem.

My dad's been out of the hospital for a little over a week now and things are going okay. He's off his memory pills so we're having problems with basic stuff like him not remembering who his visiting nurse or the nurse's aid were. He's also right back into having the basement in the mid-80's heat wise. We're not going to make it through the winter on the wood we have if he keeps this up. It's not a great situation right now.
