The reds on the southwest horizon suggested this might be an interesting angle to photograph the sunset if I just waited a few minutes..
I think the wait was definitely worth it.
It’s Going to be an Interesting Sunset
Her Computer Stopped Working
My wife’s computer, it as getting quit old, had been giving her problems lately. Sometimes the computer didn’t want to come on and other times it would start but her monitor wouldn’t come on. This time her computer refused to come on no matter what she did.
I finally got the on/off switch to work but no matter what I tried the monitor would show the power was on, but no images appeared. Changed out the HDMI cable, no joy, tried her monitor connected to my computer with both her and my cables and it worked no problem.
Since her computer was so old we jointly decided I would get a new computer and she would use my current computer. She said she could go a few days using her iPad, so I ordered an new computer for me from B&H.
Gardening Is Never Done
Having bolted the new metal raised bed together and placed them where the family gardening goddess requested, it was time to transfer the soil from the existing raised bed to the new ones. We learned over the years a key step is to always screen the soil to remove any undesirable materials, whatever they may be. I built the screen many years ago and it still has many years of life left.
The plastic bag between the two bed is filled with the undesirable material. I don’t try to get every last little bit of soil out of the existing beds since we are going to be placing a new bed in this same general location.
Tweaking This Blog
Watching YouTube videos like this have made me realize there is no good reason why my Vivaldi Blog should have large images. Smaller images are just as viewable and they load much faster. I try to keep the images I post here between 150 and 400 kB even if I don’t always succeed. My photo editor of choice is Affinity Photo which I’ve used for a number of years.
At Last, I’ve Finally Written and Published a Book
Like many people, I’ve always wanted to write a book. Here it is, a story written especially for my grandson Justin. Professional, it is not, but the sense of pride I have from having been able to do this especially for him is far beyond any sense of accomplishment I’ve ever had.
