Well, I should have been in bed quite a while ago; but I had things I wanted to get done…
I did get at least 12 pages on the “old” Calcis site set-up, updated, I can not say I am totlly finished with them; but I did get them seens, and a few minor changes done.
Several of the ‘album’ pages are going to take a while longer — they have broken images and/or links, scattered throughout them.
Once I do get the pages to where I am happy with them I(for now) — I will burn a back-up copy of the Calcis (and other sites) to CD, yet again. Ideally a back-up should be done once a month; for the computer files, and the web folders/files/sites…
But things are not always to the ‘ideal’ situtation.
Cest La Ve’…I’m exhausted, and it isn’t getting any sooner that I should be asleep (does that makce any sense…?) — Until next we meet…enjoy the warmer temps; after all it is temperary, and winter will be back just when you don’t expect it to turn nasty.
Take care,

BLOG/SITE Problems:
For those of you who may be regular readers, I do wish to apologize for the site being ‘down’ for a few days.
It seems in the midst of the holiday & Christmas confusion, I failed to renew my domain names (”calcis.us” and “calcis.net”) — That problem was solved, I renewed both domains today (Tuesday).
If you find that the site is acting strangely, please don’t hesitate to email me and let me know. If not for a relative emailing me; I might not have know that the domain names were no longer working.
Thank you, for stopping by.

Corn bread is done, so is the baked chicken; the green beans are cooking in the microwave; potatoes may need a minute or two more — but things have gone fairly well.
Dave brought a load of cedar logs up, while waiting on the food to bake; I helped unload the logs in the wood bins; then came back to check the chicken.
The turkey is the next thing that needs to be prepped to bake; but that will be after lunch.
I have had enough saod to get a hyperactive buzz going — if I can just keep it in-check, I will be doing extremely well, today.
The weather has warmed; and expecting a rain later today. We do need to check on some Koshe Dill Spears at the grocery store; then we’ll have to get thing going with the potatoes, egges, and other items that need cooking for tomorrow.
More later, need to stir the beans…

Just put the (first) loaf/pan of corn bread in the oven about 5 minutes ago.
Have chicken ready to put in to bake, when the bread is done.
Dave just got back from uctting cedar for the woodburner…
I’ll be back in a few, with further updates.

Uh, I personally do not see this is a good thing; but it is better than making the Patriot Act permanent…

Must have been a pretty cold night; the temp in the living room when I checked this morning was 59.
Typically the living room is between 65-70 degrees; even when there is a light frost outdoors.
Breakfast this morning? Oatmeal, which is simmering on the woodburning stove. The Ashley does good for cooking, when it gets up to temperature.
Dave is chatting with/teasing the kitten who is fussing either about the cold feet, or wanting food. Cobweb, has gotten a bit quieter; but is still chatty when she knows people are nearby.
Their breakfast will be just after we eating. This way they get a few morsels of hot cereal, or other foodstuffs from our breakfast. They don’t seem to be interested in cold/dry catfood, every morning. What they don’t know is that there will be a few bones, and seasoning from a ham that was cooked several days back.
Yes, I will probably warm these too. Since each has been in the fridge for a while — warmer foods go much better on colder days; even for cats.

On other topics:
I went through several buildings yesterday looking for certain items that had been in storage. I succeeded in find items I had wondered about; but did not find the Gorrilla (guitar) Amp, nor a couple of other smaller items.
I did find a much need pair of cloth gloves, several knick-knack that would be perfect gifting items; and I hit a “bonus” when I found an old store of cassette tapes — 5 of which were Baghdad, 3 of Tomboy, and about a handful of other bands that I had either interviewed, or had permission to record while playing at Brother’s.
The Baghdad tapes, I hope are in good order. One in particular has Bill, Jim, and Joey harmonizing on the Beatles, “This Boy”. They sat down to this vocal/musical treat while their roadcrew was breaking down the stage equipment after a show.
I called about midday, and left a message for Joey Ledbetter, about finding the tapes; he returned the call around 9:00 last. I think he would have come thru the phone, if it were possible. (He still wants to get an archival/video/sound business going, to preserve video/photos/audio family moments, using the computer, and transferring to CD/DVD…”for a modest fee”.)
Later in the day, Dave and I went to The Rocket, picked up our phone-in lunch order; stopped at the Co-Op on the way; then went to the J’ville Ace Hardware for parts to go on the other barrel woodburning stove Dave was working on. Then we went to Lenlock — ate a picnic lunch; the next stop was Marvin’s to pick up 10 sheets of blueboard. Then we headed to Sax Hardware; and rounded out the trip with stops at Wright’s Dairy, Food Outlet Jr., and Wildwood.
The turkey breast from F.O. is thawing, and will be on/in the stove cooking sometime Saturday.
TODAY:
Planning to get by PCH’s old location; and see what’s what there.
Joey asked that I give him a call, when we got near J’ville; saying he would meet, and pick up tha cassettes, then.
Guess I’d best check the oats, looks like they might be close to ready.
