This is growing in Lori’s back yard. I have no idea what it is, but it reminded me of one of the stock iPhone wallpapers so it seemed funny to take a photo of it with an iPhone.

This weekend Lori and I did some work at her rental property in Roseville. The gate was broken so we pulled it down, replaced a few slats and a brace, and I painted it. We got stonewalled (groan!) trying to get some toggle bolts into the stucco though. We’ll have to finish that next weekend.

I have no idea what to make of this. I guess that’s why I like it.

We finished the microwave last weekend (except for a half-row of tile underneath). A new range wasn’t in the immediate plans but this one with the right features showed up on Craigslist at the right time...

Lying in bed last night, I wished I could turn on some music without getting up.

This morning, I laid in bed and thought of how to write a program to do it.

Thankfully, it already exists!

Old Mac users don’t die, they just go on iLife Support.

This weekend Lori and I finally started work on installing an over-the- range microwave. The vent attached to the old hood was in a nailed- shut compartment of the cabinet. We had to drill a hole into it and borrow a crowbar. We decided to remove tile rather than drill through it and found that the glue on the tile was stronger than the sheetrock behind it. The rest of the job SHOULD be much easier...
