A busy morning here at the homestead. I played around with various formats and methods of research for the Sierra Club legislative committee. One setup uses Google News Alerts and Google Docs to create a real time log of news articles, web entries and video feeds on the five issues the LegCom will target during this years legislature. This much I can do at home.
My new datalogger for my weather station has not yet succumbed to my troubleshooting, but I imagine I’ll wrestle it to the ground sometime soon. Something about ports seems to be hanging it up right now. Requires detailed attention and I have to set aside time for that.
Kate and I had our business meeting. In spite of the negative financial weather swirling around we’re fine; not as wealthy as we were in, say, August, but fine nonetheless.
Good news on the car front. It was only a blown tire as far as they can see. Everything else looks fine. Under $400 bucks and I’d imagined multiple thousands. Quite a relief. We decided we’ll keep this one running until the plug-ins make sense.
