More website stuff today, so more fun for me.
About 3:30 I drove into Columbus to Brookshire Bros. for a few things, including some PowerBall and Mega Millions lottery tickets. Tonight’s Mega Millions is up to $128 Million, and tomorrow’s PowerBall is almost $350 Million.
Of course, my odds of winning aren’t very good, but they’re a lot better than if I don’t play at all. I mean, otherwise, I’d just waste it on booze and wild women.
Jan has decided that Karma is just a Daddy’s Girl. She won’t really have much to do with Jan, and only let’s me hold her. She loves to cuddle up on my shoulder and then snuggle against my neck, rubbing her head against my face.
And today Jan said when I left to go to the store this afternoon, Karma kept walking back and forth in the rig, crying loudly, and then jumping up in the front window to see when I was coming home.
Tonight’s dinner was Jan’s great BCTs (Bacon, Cheese, and Tomato) sandwiches, along with another salad. Then for dessert it was a square of the Sopapilla Cheesecake she made yesterday.
I also posted the recipe for Jan’s Crockpot Spaghetti and Meatballs under the Jan’s Favorite Recipes dropdown. A quick, easy, and delicious meal.
After supper, we watched the latest Castle from last night, and then started in on our last series left over from our gate guarding time – Fargo.
Supposedly this is last year with Stana Katic’s Beckett character on Castle, so it will interesting to see where the show goes after that. They have said they plan on continuing the series, and it does seem that they’ve set up a couple of different possible paths for the show to take.
We watched Fargo two episodes tonight, leaving us 8 more to go. There’s something really nice about being able to binge-watch a series in a couple of days, rather than stretching it out over 10 to 22 weeks.
Fargo has been renewed for a 3rd season, that will start up in early 2017.
Thought for the Day:
You can’t leave footprints in the sands of time if you’re sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time.

A Nice Day and Good Food . . .
Another day slaving over a hot keyboard . . . well, I guess it’s hard to call it ‘slaving’ when I really enjoy it.
The client really liked the wheel logo that I did for his website www.ezekieltransport.com
The one I did for the website has a transparent background so the grey doesn’t show.
I also did a few favicons for the site.
‘Favicons’ are the small logos that many websites have that shows up in front of their name in the browser tab. Here’s the ones for Facebook and Pinterest.
You’re only allowed 32 x 32 pixels so you don’t have a lot to work with.
The client now just has to pick from one of the three.
Neither of us ever left the rig today, with the day partly cloudy and the high only about 70 degrees, so a very nice day.
Jan was in a baking mode, so she wihipped up another batch of the Sopapilla Cheesecake tha she made last week.
These are very good, and very easy to make.
Then while she was at it, she started a new batch of the Alabama Fire Crackers using the same bag of spices for the last batch.
She just added a little more oil, added the crackers, and lightly shook them up. Then you let them set aside to soak up the spices, turning them every hour for 4 or 5 hours.
For dinner tonight, we started off with a salad dressed with a modified version of a recipe Jan got last week from Lynn Cross. We used lime juice instead of lemon (the lemons didn’t look very good at the store) and added a little honey for sweetness. Really good.
Then for dinner, we finished up the last of the Crockpot Spaghetti and Meatballs from the other night. I’ve had some requests so I’ll be posting that recipe in the next day or so.
Now that we’re back at Colorado River, it’s nice to see that the recent 4G XLTE upgrade has settled down. When it first showed up a month or so ago, it was blazin’ fast for about week, then after a few days it crashed and burned, showing more 3G than 4G speeds.
And my 3G aircard, which had jumped up to almost 3 Mbps, dropped down to less than 1 Mbps. But now it’s back up to 2.5+ Mbps. Nice.
A very nice day, and hopefully tomorrow will be more of the same.
Thought for the Day:
There’s usually a method to my madness. But then again, sometimes it’s just madness.
