Well I finally got my center brake light hooked up for my camper shell, avoiding thereby any "fix-it" tickets. California fix-it tickets are not free....
I've been working feverishly preparing the house for sale. A week ago Monday I installed a new side-door in my garage, pulling out the tattered wood door and replacing it with a solid-core steel-clad pre-hung door. Much more satisfactory.
Tuesday and Wednesday I chased down materials for a new 60' fence between me and my neighbor behind. Thursday I tore down the old fence and stacked it neatly in my truck....the local dump charges on volume, not weight. Friday I set the posts in the existing steel frames (sunk in concrete) and also took the old fence down to the dump. Saturday I topped the posts and built up the stringers. Sunday I nailed up all the fence boards with my pneumatic nailer.
Mike, isn't there some story about you taking a very long time putting up a new fence? 
I got a new 19" LCD computer monitor today....moving a CRT to Boise appeared to be a waste of effort. So my version of a CRT entlosung has enabled my household to be CRT free. The LCD monitors have really come down in price. I selected a Hyundai for $299. Five years ago a CRT monitor of that size would have cost more.

No. Not erecting it...but painting it. And the painting finally got done this summer! By my 15-year old son! 
Isn't it amazing the amount of work we'll put into a home just before we're going to move out of it?!
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

I'm looking for text for my valedectorian email as I move from San Jose to Boise.
Quote:
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four, Lord, I'm five hundred miles a way from home.
Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home, Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name. Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.
This-a way, this-a way, this-a way, this-a way, Lord, I can't go back home this-a way. (Interlude, repeat first verse)
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

It looks better once you get away from the Oregon/Nevada/Utah borders.
