RABBITS I SAID!
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:37 am i remembered----when I got up in the middle of the morning, I remembered as I sat down, and shouted RABBITS, bringing Molly running to see what on earth was wrong!
It's a cool morning here in Central FL----no sure what the temperature is out there, but it's 60 in here. Perfectly comfy for me, with my fleece pants and fleece jacket on. I see that it was down to 12F. at home, so I feel very blessed here.
A flock of fat, large wild turkeys ambled across the front lawn today as Molly and I were stepping out----nice to see some back here, as they were numerous in the old days when my father lived here. The danged grey squirrels have taken over now, and need some population control!
I tried out some laptops at Walmart while I was there yesterday afternoon, but they all left me cold. I came back here and messed with my web camera settings, going into the advanced settings files, and PRESTO! My camera now works with Skype! Mandy, Joe, Orion and I had a neat conversation during the chat time last night (sorry to have dropped out of there, but we were all dying to see if the camera would really work)and it functioned just perfectly! Orion was actually looking at me on his computer screen! Maybe he will learn who I am after all! Now I am in no rush to replace this computer, either. Very rewarding. I changed some setting from a NTSC (or something like that) to a PAL, and all of a sudden I could make video calls!
I also got me a new bicycle seat cover, padded, from WalMart, to cover over my old tattered and torn hard seat, and I am dying to try it out this morning. It fits perfectly, and looks like a brand new seat altogether.
I hope you all have a good December 1st day doing something fun and rewarding----where on earth did this entire year go???

I rocked & rolled all night with more than 60mph wind gusts, losing power for about 3 hours -- and I wasn't even in the worst of it. Pasadena's declared a state of emergency due to the damage. And I'm supposed to go camping today in one of the windy areas. Don't think so ... at least for a day. I'll be calling the campground to see how much damage they might have or if they lost power. The winds are supposed to continue through tomorrow, and I don't relish the idea of taking my trailer out, just to park it under a bunch of trees in high winds.
I think someone stole it! I am not ready nor am I looking forward to the cold. OH! They are also calling for up to 2" of snow. 
Sure do wish we could have had to money to make it further south!
