Thanks for the cheers, Bonny. My current level of ebullience is not going down well with everyone I come across.

You can be really proud of yourself. DED knows it's not easy to start college again late in life.

My first lectures start next week and then I have a couple hours work a week consulting first years starting the week after next.
BTW, does my avatar show here okay and has anyone ever noticed any problems with my pics in the 1000 thread?

the avatar is fine and the pics in the other appear regularly, that I've noticed.
Yesterday
I listened to 1977 09 17 Baton Rouge FZ show. and a 40 min rehearsal tape
1978 08 XX where they did a bit of Flakes and rehearsed the don't eat the yellow snow suite of songs, which is always good to hear Ike sing those
songs. Frank explains about the sausage patty and St Alphonzo.

I have a web host that I'm beginning not to trust. Something funny happens with my links every now and then. I don't want to get technical, but I use
an ftp mirror to update my website which basically only bothers with files when they've changed, which is very convenient and it used to work really
well. Lately, though, it seems as though files are some how changing when I'm not actually doing anything to them which makes me wonder what my host
is doing with my files.

duckduckgo.com The Search Engine is fantastic!
I've already looked up shiina ringo, dubai hotels and airline tickets to mumbai!
now what?
today I listened to 1982 05 17 Paris - a show 128 minutes shows some rare panache like Packard Goose and Watermelon and Sofa an embarrassment of
riches. King Kong and Sharleena are great on that date too.
tuesday I listen to random stuff

It is isn't it? I've noticed how horrible Google has become with that filter thing when I was looking for scenes from Howl's Moving Castle, and all I
got was kids playing the theme music.
My entire arm's been too overstressed. Yesterday I gave myself a slow day with no drawing, no keyboard, no knitting and no PC at all. It didn't help
much. So today I'm just limiting use, as in: no more Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 4, which is too much fun and probably the culprit.
It's an odd sensation. It doesn't really hurt, it sort of... feels colder.
On my slow day I went to the second-hand store in Geldrop again. Not long before I was there, my chain fell off. After putting it back on and having
it fall off immediately afterwards, I found there was too much play in the crankshaft.
There's a very good chance that I'll be needing a new bicycle.
I've had this one for nearly four years, which is great considering the age of the thing and the price we bought it for. My new bike, which I got when
I was 11, lasted for three years when its sprockets became so worn down it was practically unusable. My chain would drop off three times on the 5km
trip to school; I became an expert at replacing it without having to get off. What makes it real bad, though, is my dad's bike is also in disrepair;
and we still don't have a car.

Bonny came home with a new secondhand bike today. Actually it is the first one she buy herself on her own.
A remarkable milestone.
When arriving home I did my first repair on it ,the frontwheel was loose. I only had to tighten the nut and there is no fraction or whatsoever on the
frame. Nice one BBP.
My bike has an bigger problem with the sturmey archer speed control. Something is wrong inside, so I think I need a new wheel at least.

Our power company - P. G. & E. - is replacing a power pole on our street tomorrow. As a result, we'll be without power, internet and cable for
about seven hours. I'll be down to just my cell phone.
The horror, the horror...

There's a coincidence, we had the power out for about 6 hours for a similar reason last Tuesday. The irony is that there is no legal way to take
advantage of our solar panels while they have the electricity disconnected.

Aw that's CRUEL!
My arm feels better, provided I don't use it for typing.
Went to the giveaway shop and got some fleshy-tint fabric to make plushees with.

Same here. When grid power is off, our inverter shuts off as well. The last thing the power company wants is some doofus like me pumping electrons
into the grid when they have a guy in a cherry picker, trying to troubleshoot the lines.

I logged on to The Goose wth no problemo! Fantastic! I also hosted a local Sat. night cable show with a new band called Box Of Screws.The lead
guitarist is a friend and asked me to help "meet the band" inbetween sets.It was fun stuff! I had to wait for someone to introduce me! Then she said
welcome Major Kirk a local improvisational actor and comedian.So all at once I got promoted and had to be funny too! The latter was easy but the
former.Well,I only used Kapt.Kirk so I wouldn't be called Curt,Kirt,Kurk,and Cirt,so I don't know how to deal with this "on air" promotion! I guess
I'll just accept it,just don't call me Major Tom! You know your old or talking to a real social misfit when they say who's Capt.Kirk and Startrek was
a television program? Kaptian Kirk,Rock Interveiwer.    
Hope your arm is better Bonny.

so right there's this aussie chick who's made youtube videos basically since she was a kid, all through uni and now after 280+ clips ... not so
much.
she got a gig and did a world trip with lonely planet and after that pretty much quit talking to her youtube clan.
But she's funny. Funny in a way that points out our silliness by, get this, 'doing the stupid thing first' and thereby encouraging the shy people to
follow. But this 'conversation' with the people who watch these things is of course hackneyed and messed up a lot of the time. A 'two-way' that
doesn't quite go back and forth. More hilarity ensues. So, she's been away for awhile and people forget but she put a clip up the other day:
somebody said,
"there once was a natalie from austrailia
who spoke through communitychannelia
she made her subs waite
long past the promised date
and when she returned it was
histeria"

funny girl.
Also listened to
1967 09 30 Stockholm
1967 12 03 Ann Arbor, MI
1968 04 28 Detroit, MI
1968 05 03 Denver, CO today
all about four hours and some of my favorite early mothers: gives a good view of what they were doing and even the kind of influence they would have.
Fun.

Welcome Kirk!
Wait wait... see that edited on date? You started time travelling or something? Or do we still need serious tinkering?

Monday: 2nd hand shop day. It's the week when I travel to the one that's further away, but that also has a nice cheap supermarket. I want to use my
father's bicycle, but he decides against it since it had gear problems. Reason why I want to use his, is my bicycle that I bought last week has a flat
rear tire, and I won't be sure I can travel back with enough air in it.
I go, get shaken a lot halfway on a clinker road, visit the shop, buy a book, want to go to the supermarket... Tire is too flat to ride. I end up
walking back the full 8 km. It starts to rain.
Tuesday: I decide to go to that supermarket (and other nearby shops). I tighten the nut on my father's saddle and go.
Had a wee bit of problem with the gears, and since the chain guard broke off my trousers get caught in it twice. As I get close to the supermarket,
the cycling takes a lot more force.
Cause is found quickly: the tire hasn't been screwed into position well enough, moved sideways and is rubbing against the frame. I manage to push it
back into place, but the popping back gets worse, and after my visit to the supermarket I end up walking about 2/3 of the way back.
Today: give-away store. Normally I walk that. Shall I do that today? Hmmm.
