Cleaning in installments
I think makers of household cleaning appliances (mops, vacuum cleaners etc) have got to get it thru their heads that not all people who are using these products are but 5'4" tall. Right now, it feels as if someone has their knee in the middle of my back, and that's only from vacuuming one room! Ouch. I either need a chiropractor, a physio-terrorist, or therapeutic massage.
Much thanks to Alan and Un-son, Robin for moving my potted avocado tree into the shade. Turns out they need to be kept shaded until they are about my height. At least it was moved before the sun damaged it too badly.
Aikidomayland will be back home in a few days. I swear I have spoken to him more on the phone while he's been in Zambia, than I did when he was home! I keep telling him there is no need to call every day, I'm not going to melt or fall apart while he is away. If there is a problem I will send a text message. Oh well.

Of tech and Nerd
Annoyed by audio constantly being out of sync when I used Sansa Media Converter, I set out to find something to fix this problem. I emailed Sansa (chirping crickets). I checked the Sansa forums, and the AnythingButIpod forums. Nada.
On a whim, I typed "RockBox Sansa e200 series v2" into Google. My inner nerd jumped for joy when I saw that RockBox has indeed come out with its bootloader for the e280v2. I installed it. I ran my avis through WinFF, copied them over, and voila! they played and the audio was in perfect sync.
Rockbox install did say I might not be able to use my Audible audio books. And that was right. Even though the directory is there, the RB shell doesn't 'see' them.
That led to another search. Something to umm convince my Audible audio books to play on RockBoxed player. Success! Converting a few over as I type.
My inner nerd is much pleased.

Out with the old and expired
Went through the wallet, checked expiration dates, and destroyed out of date medical, credit, and shopping cards. Used chicken scissors to hack the beejeebus out them. Bisected the magnetic strips, then cut them into even smaller pieces. Shredded, shaved, and then scattered the bits into different bins for disposal over the next few weeks.
Wing, my beloved bean counter, accountant, who has stated time and time again he has no artistry, no creativity, is a crappy photographer.. well just saying something doesn't make it true. He will be posting them on his blog and on Flickr. :) I'll let you be the judges.

Long productive day
I asked hale and healthy males of the house, several times, to get the leaf vacuum/mulcher busy and clean up the front yard and nothing coming of it. Then I just asked one of them to get it out for me.
When that didn't happen, I signed up for the USS OMYFEWKINGACHINGBACK, and did it myself. I used it on the front area, and no more dried purple flowers from the Jacaranda tree, and gum leaves have been vacuumed, mulched and distributed on the front yard. Smells pretty good, too.
After a well deserved (and needed) shower, I sat down and put some 2011 calendars together. Bengals (as in pedigree cats), Big Cats (Lions and tigers, no bears! But cheetahs!), Aussie Birds, and Exotic Animals.
