Finally, a day when I didn't drop off unexpectedly ( although I guess I couldn't do that, I'm starting to expect it...) and when we finally go something done.
Once again, broken sleep periods, but I must've got enough. I got up at 08:00, about ten minutes after the grandkids (Brian, again, and Drew) got Karen up, clamoring for food.
Some way or another, I thought that I could jump right up and get the Linux system communicating with the world and WIN98... I don't know what got into me. Anyhoo, I worked on it for several hours. I don't really feel too bad about it, though... there are people who go to school for four years to learn how to do it...
Of course, I haven't actually done it yet, but I'm constantly getting closer.
And I'm learning all kindsa different things about Linux while I'm trying to learn what I need to know... peripheral information that I will be able to use some day. Maybe.
Karen finally carted the kids off and JD got up and I woke up Tyler and we started working. We moved the overhead cabinets and an upright cabinet, which we had to stop and repair, since the bottom had rotted out of it. I say we, but I just supervised... both of the boys are getting handy, and I'm really happy about that.
And there was a wonderful sunset... looking to the east, the moon was rising, obscured by haze, just a white glow in the thin layer of broken clouds that were rose fading into gray. Here in Kansas, the undersides of the clouds are lit quite well by the sun on the horizon... in the west, they were all shades of red.
I called Karen out onto the deck with JD and I, and yelled at Tyler in the basement... he said waitaminnit! I'll be up... but the sunset didn't wait. As with most beautiful things, the moment was fleeting, but we were nonetheless enthralled.
Sunsets are a wonderful way to end a day...
Once we were done with that, JD decided to wash some vehicles... it was, again, a beautiful day in Topeka... he got Karens car washed and his truck before dark.
Sunrises are a wonderful way to begin one.
