Wind from where?

36º F, Semi-cloudy, N wind 0 mph.

Good afternoon,

How often have you seen the wind from the north at 0 mph? That is what is happening at the moment according to the web. Actually the 0 mph part is right, but not too sure about the north direction of the wind - kinda’ hard to tell! The day started out very cloudy, but now the clouds have broken up some, so I guess you could call it semi-cloudy with the sun peaking through.

I got up at a reasonable time for a change this morning - before 5:00 A.M. For the past few days, I have been getting up an hour to an hour and a half later for some reason. The nice part is that I am able to get in more Bible study time before my Woman gets up. I did manage to finish all of my research on chapters 17 and 18 of Revelation and print it out - 24 pages. Now I should be able to review it a couple of times before we study it next Tuesday morning. It is an interesting and sobering part of the book. One of the gals in the study likes to read the research, so also emailed it to her as I usually do. Bet takes a long time to download!

Tomorrow we will be having a potluck breakfast for Bible study. Margriet promised a bread for the occasion, so one just came out of the oven. In went a pan of cinnamon rolls to take along too. All of this smells too good for this old man, just to let it sit because it has to "look pretty" for tomorrow! Dang! Instead of making a long loaf, she just made a normal sized loaf, but it really has risen out of the pan during baking. It is about twice the size of normal. Sure do hope no one likes it. Margriet also made some honey butter to take as a go-with. Maybe it can snitch a cinnamon roll for quality control purposes before going.
I spent a good portion of this morning cleaning out my LSM stuff. I have a small file cabinet I always took with me full of necessary papers, &c. Since I have not looked in it or had anyone request anything from me for the past six months, figured it was time for most of it to go. It has. Now I can use the cabinet for other things. Another byproduct of the operation is that I now have a large batch of paper for the printer - used on one side. That sure saves on buying more paper all of the time.

Looking at the stack of papers and what they contained/represented, I sure did a lot of work and spent a lot of time on LSM. Of course a decade of time went by so it really piled up. There were several projects I did that never were used, but I was prepared - just in case! It really was a good experience for me and represents much growth. Sure am glad that Rev. Enright pushed me into going and Jane Maxson taking good care of me while going. There are a number of friends I wish I had gotten to know 20 years sooner though. Too bad we seem to drift apart when not having as much face-to-face contact on a regular basis.

This machine has been taking longer and longer to startup every time, so I decided to find out why. Discovered that every time I loaded a new program, the new program would also start on startup. At least there was an icon left at least. Finally cleaned out a mess of them. Now if I want a program, I have to open it from "start" rather than using the icon on the desktop or system tray. Both use up space and slow things down. I also have been playing with my cookies trying to clear out them some too. Discovered after putting in the new WordPerfect, there were several tracking cookies I didn’t know about. Got after them and a bunch of others too. Now if I can figure out a way to kill all of the extra emails I don’t want. There are many the have been eliminated, but there seem to be more everyday. If it ain’t telemarketers on the phone, it is a bunch of spam-marketers on email! Can’t win!

Time to get a-going.

In Christ My Saviour,

Chris <><
