Today’s Business: 2009-11-15

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

08:00 AM: I’m up, and doing my morning chores, which include:

  • Dispensing Mom’s meds
  • Cat duty
  • Putting any dirty dishes around in the dish washer
  • Laundry

 

08:45 AM: Uploaded more of my sent emails to the blogs.  Just finished with     December, 2007.  This was an easy month because I had actually sent very few emails that were also quite short as well.

12:45 PM: Worked the   wheelchair ramp project   all morning. 

01:15 PM: Brother-in-law Richard stopped by to lend a hand with the ramp.  He gave a few more suggestions for how to make it even better.  I’ll work on those this afternoon.

05:25 PM: Finished working outside.  ‘Twas a wonderful day for mid November; mostly sunny with high temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s.  We’re supposed to get more of the same tomorrow.  So I’ll be working on the ramp once more.  It’s almost finished. 

06:47 PM: Today’s repeater song:    All I Want for Christmas (Is You)     by   Vince Vance. 

09:05 PM: Talked with [Emmy].  She was pretty down this evening which, unfortunately, is par for the course for her these days.  Hopefully she’ll find something to be truly happy about very soon.  I hope.

09:45 PM: Worked on   Garrett’s computer problem

11:20 PM: Had a nice hour-long chat with Mom.  She found an old diary of hers from 1956.  She delighted in reading some of it to me.  I suggested that I record her voice while she reads it.  But she wasn’t interested in that.  Still, this diary would make a fine addition to our collection of historical treasures of our family.

11:30 PM: Added more relevent posts to the   WPSBC   category here in the   Tom’s Diary   blog.

11:54 PM: Well, I’m off to bed.  Sister Mary Ann will visit us tomorrow morning to help us get ready for the Thanksgiving dinner we’re hosting here.  So I want to be fresh, and to be fresh, I’ll need lots of sleep tonight to recover from my work on the   wheelchair ramp project   the past two days.  I’m beat.  So take care, and I’ll see you right back here tomorrow.

Garrett’s Computer Problem

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Nephew Garrett brought his Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop here last week.  He says it won’t charge anymore.  It works fine with the AC cord connected; it just doesn’t charge. 

Since it’s a laptop, I won’t take it apart — too many small pieces to keep track of.  Hopefully it’s the battery itself that’s bad, and not the power board inside the computer proper.

I’ll put my observations and resolution (if I find one) in the comments below.

December, 2007 Done

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

I just finished uploading my personal correspondence from December, 2007 to the blogs. See it at the Tom’s Diary December, 2007 Archive.

I’ve started doing these in random rather than in chronological order.  So I’m not sure which month (or year for that matter) I’ll do next.  You’ll just have to hang around and see.  :-)
