What have you done?!

Today I did some overdue aquarium maintenance. Then I tried to do a flip with my new rc helicopter but it went over the fence and I had to go get it. I might try again later at the park. Learning to do 3D flips is quite challenging.

(this isn't my helicopter, but it's what I'm learning) Sorry if it makes anyone dizzy.

So “tuima” is the secret word? I'm just surprised that not even all Finns know it...

They know "tuima" as "stern" morelikely.

You have no idea... Our language consists almost entirely of strange and weird words. And it varies almost from village to village. That's why the Germans hardly understand us at all.

How does anyone keep a track of any word then. You could be making new ones every other day..

You could be making new ones every other day..

It also almost feels that way sometimes.

Made a faux pas...again

Grocery trip this morning. 50 minutes of walking around a giant store is too much for me.

Was it Walmart?
I have a choice of four different supermarkets where I live. All on the same road/vicinity of each other.

Yes it was Walmart . I only shop at walmart or costco. I just got back from costco. The shopping never ends.

I have been but not a member. I didn't buy anything last time I went there.

Played my drums tonight for the first time in months. Spent the last few nights learning Faithully by Journey on guitar. I can play it, but not smoothly yet. Played 2 Rush songs on drums. Was surprised at how well I could still play them, but I've practically been playing them my whole life.

 

[Lanolin]

I learned there is a piano on my computer keyboard! How did I not know this after years of typing??

 

[zeroturbulence]

I don't like posting anything of myself but here's a pic of me playing a rush song from last night. This is my drums, not my guitar. Just to be clear.

 

[Lanolin]

Wow I would never be allowed to let loose on a drum kit like that.
I'd be smashing cymbals left and right, going crazy.

Finally managed to get a trimming time for my spruce fence, I would have done it myself but it has grown way too much towards the sky...

Also had to do a reclamation for the trail shoes I ordered. I do not like making calls nor emails if I don't know the person. I ponder a long time before I can make that call!


Now, I just need to call to a prison, well, too late to do that today! Whew.. ...maybe tomorrow.

 

[Lanolin]

Doubting Thomas.
Oh ye of little faith! But he just wanted to see if what he heard was real. Isn't that what most of us want?

My new computer wouldn't start up the other night. Just the logo came on the screen then it went completely blank. I guessed that it might be the graphics processor. It has the graphics as part of the motherboard. I bought a new graphics card and got it delivered yesterday then when I opened the computer I saw that the onboard graphics card was cooked . Half of it was burnt black (see pic).

I don't know how that could happen but it is a fairly fast computer. Anyway I installed the new graphics card and the computer started right up (whew!) . I'm so glad I don't need to buy a new computer. This one is only 3 months old, but it's an old refurbished model. I had to buy it because my old computer is so old that my bank won't let me log in. It actually says my browser is no longer supported by their website, but the browser can no longer be updated with my operating system . I bought it in 2013 and it still runs great so now I have 2 computers.

After reading the label on that computer part I realize it might not be the graphics processor. All the info is about the SSD drive, but it's not the SSD drive either. The SSD drive is a shiny metal rectangular thing like a hard drive. Anyway, the important thing is that my computer's working again.

Got angry at Lynx again for being facetious, arrogant, and condescending.

 

[Lanolin]

Yea, what's new, he's always been like that.

Anyway, change topic, went to a Seder last night. Messianics get a bad rap, but we have actual Jewish people who know who exactly their Messiah is. Hallelujah!

You CAN be Jewish and Christian (in that order) but not Christian Jewish, gentiles are grafted in, but a lot of people don't understand the concept of the graft. Cos they aren't gardeners I suppose.

So anyway, what I did ---ate a lot of food, reenacted the Exodus story. Was a lot of fun..food and the Bible, a winning combination.

Yesterday was quite a day. Of course I started with a clean, but only vacuuming and mopping the house, it was Saturday after all..
I put one load of laundry going (had to do it twice, because I forgot it to the washing machine after it was done...).
Made vanilla sauce (or is it custard in english) to go with dessert.

Then my brothers friend came to knock down "few" trees, he was here about 6 hours. So naturally I fed him (and my brother who also came, mostly to eat...), and had few coffee breaks of course.

I was soo dead when they left and still had to clean my kitchen

But was able to get it done anyway!



And yet I heated up my sauna, even though beeing almost half asleep and feeling super cold, well, hence the sauna...



Today I have been all out of energy, and even to think about the work I have waiting on me outside... this is my garden at the moment (and this is not the only spot);




Maybe I will tackle it next week, and rake all the mess away and chip the branches..
