I'm ok with the rain.  I need the plants good and watered before we move them into their temporary accommodation.  Hopefully incandescent christmas lights and a coop heater will keep them toasty enough, especially Sunday and into Monday.  I'm kind of expecting there may be a late start to school on Monday, considering Sunday isn't looking bright and sunny to burn off any icy bits.  

 

Ordered some straw for the foam cooler opossum house we have.  We set it out with some cat food when the weather is cold for the little dude that roams around here.  Keeps ticks and bugs at bay and is no bother to us, so we'll extend the courtesy.

Well it looks like I will need to play computer and network tech over the next few days.  For some reason I am not able to access VJ from any computer working off my home network.  At first I thought it was a VJ problem, but I am able to access from the office just fine.  I'll probably start by rebooting my modem and network.  If that doesn't work I'll have to ask Google or an AI site.  Funny because I don't have any problems with accessing other websites.

 

If you don't hear from me for a while that's the reason.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.
