Maybe some posting tomorrow
Just finished Monster Hunter Alpha -- fun plot, great scene in the last 80 pages and Larry sets us up for at least two more books.
Had a hummingbird feeder at the bakery and took it home -- getting lots and lots of birds so it is a very cool thing to watch. The nectar is very simple -- boil four cups of water with one cup of cane sugar, chill and place in the feeder. Replace and clean the feeder every week. I had always thought that this was not a balanced diet for the little guys but, through the magic of Google, I learned the obvious that they eat a lot of bugs for protein and minerals -- the nectar is just for glucose. Facepalm.
Getting a lot of stuff done at home. Just started cracking the books for closing out 3rd quarter Bakery stuff -- due end of September so no big rush.
Had the "call before you dig" people out yesterday to mark off the buried utility lines for the new service panel at the shop -- looking forward to having adequate power.
Heading into town tomorrow for the
The Puget Sound Antique Tractor & Machinery Association. The site of the event has the largest public blacksmith setup and there are usually a bunch of smiths there. Meet up with some friends and also see what happened to the
Whatcom County Old Settlers Association forge -- a shame to see a hearth go cold.
Foot is healing up quite nicely -- today was the second day without using a dressing on the incision and the swelling is starting to really go down. The Doctor had to re-shape the bone so there is still a lot of healing to do but, even now, it is so much better than before -- night and day!
Heading out to the DaveCave(tm) to check email.
