It's Saturday night and I'm in the middle of republishing the entire site. Why would ANYONE want to do something like that? Well, sometime in October our guestbook service became a pay service. All guestbooks shut down unless you paid $10 a year. I haven't had time to sit down and find free alternatives until now and I decided to go with a message board style forum instead of a guestbook this time so the conversations would be threaded. So I'm republishing the site to add next year's copyright information and a link to the new forums.
I know hardly anyone will use these forums but everyone is welcome and if you're looking for a TechTV or Reallycoolsite related community to join we've got free space so use it.
My rules are as follows:
1) You're responsible for your own posts. Not me. Don't sue me if someone uses my forum to be a jerk.
2) Any advertising will be pulled.
3) Play nice. I'm not going to play censor but if it gets out of hand I'm shutting down the thread.
I do message boards for a living. I don't have time to play monitor for folks who know better. So be good. Please. :)
It snowed this morning. Something like 3-4 inches. Not too bad. I had the front walk and driveway shoveled in about 20 minutes and shoveled out a path to the wood so I don't kill myself getting wood on monday.
We're getting a new wood stove on monday as well and I'm really looking forward to it. Our old one downstairs is almost 15 years old and isn't the most efficient thing. I'm hoping the new model will put out more heat while conserving wood. Yes, selfishly wishing that we can cut back on our wood order next year so I'm not spending my September moving wood from one end of the yard to the other. Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?
The upload status is somewhere near 1/4th done now. I'm cranking "Lonely Lola Cherry Cola Girl" by Bic Runga on my other machine right now. Find it. Very cool song and fits the evening.
It's cold. I mean seriously cold out there. 20 or 21 degrees F. I put bird food out for the birds earlier and almost froze. We have weird birds out there that I call the woodstocks. Any time it's snowing or raining they're out on our back porch looking for food. This morning, even though it was in the teens, we had a whole soup kitchen of little brown woodstocks looking for food. Not a lot of color out there until the bluejays showed up. Then a flock of crows came into the tall trees behind the house and all the little brown woodstocks went into hiding. Not sure what the crows wanted. They never come close to the house, they just circle endlessly in spots then go across the street and walk in our neighbor's big field.
I think it's kind of neat that the little woodstocks know where to go for food though. We're getting more this year and I'm looking forward to spring when their plumage changes and we get all sorts of colors out there. There's a beautiful little neon blue bird who comes around in the spring. He's not a blue jay. He looks a lot like the other woodstocks except he's a cool neon blue. Sometimes when he comes around with a group of bright yellow birds that literally look like woodstock from Charlie Brown. We get cardinals in the spring, bluejays year round, and some of the brown woodstocks start to sport a bit of red in their crests. I really should figure out how to get a camera out there.
Oh well, I'm off to play Simpsons Hit & Run until the site finishes uploading. Be safe.
