APRIL ?? ALREADY ???

Where has this year gone? It seems like I have worked on my "project" forever. I am starting to get real tired of it! To be exact, I think this starts my 7 Th month.

My scanning is done. I am trying to get everything on Cd's. For economic reasons, I bought bulk stack #1. One hundred. No problem. Needed more. Bought bulk stack #2. One hundred. No problem. Needed more. Bought bulk stack #3. One hundred. Soooo close to being done!

PROBLEM !!!!

Computer started making the most awful noise, grinding sounds and was actually vibrating. Then it would freeze up and go into a nervous breakdown. Eventually, all I could do was pull the plug and re-boot. I finally took it into the computer doctor (Best Buy) last week. They told me it was nothing wrong with the computer as they didn't think my CD drive was going out. They thought I got a bad bunch of Cd's. I buy all of my Cd's at Best Buy. Except for bulk stack #3. Wal-Mart. Ummmm.

On my way out, I picked up bulk stack #4. One hundred. The first 3 I burned were pretty shaky at best. Then it got better but takes forever to burn. I am back to my project, but I do have most of bulk stack #3 left if anybody is interested in buying them. Cheap !!

I entered a new stage in life with 2010. It all started in January. I happened to noticed a co-worker in the obituaries. Soon followed by another. Then another. Then another. By mid February there were 5. All were men. Three in their 40s. Two in their 50s. One from a rural home fire. One from a heart attack. One from Lou Gehrig's disease. Two from unknown causes.

I now go straight to the obituaries THEN the front page.

Flowers are coming up, trees are starting to turn green, windows have been open for 2 days and garage sale signs are up all over town.. I even walked into an air conditioned building today! That MUST mean spring has come to Nebraska.

Enough for now. I am going to go back to my "project" and see how far I can get.

Be back later.
