Music... I love most genres; love to sing, and though I am most deficient in talent I sing in our choir at church.

Of "Hymns" I Sing (pg. ix)

Though I sing out of time
and sing out of tune
My Heavenly Father
fills me with
His perfect love
and His spirit... when
I sing from hymns

Have composed/reproduced one little hymnlette, with many variations:
Poem version:

The Sabbath Day is here !
I'm grateful for the Sabbath Day
The Sabbath Day i-is here

Busy Brasilian Goverment extinguished analogical TV in São Paulo. Now we have only digital TV transmission. No problem for me, but other people had to spend money to keep their TV´s working.

[tailor STATELY]

We went through that song a dance a few years ago. Our only solution, being in a valley, is satellite TV and satellite internet (two different carriers of course).
Sure wish I could bundle the above with my cell phones and house phone (still another carrier) - rather than pay ~$270 USD/month for the four services.

California born and currently residing.

[Danik 2016]

TV is free (use only the open chanels, not the payd service packs) and internet+Wifi (PC, Tablet with Phone). House phone is an extra line. Paying per month about US$30,00.

Water problems again... pressure ~ half what it should be... will be adding air pressure to the holding tank soon, as soon as my daughter's load of laundry is done in case water pressure is lost completely with my inept repairs.

Not too complicated for those in the know (definitely not me)... I'm beginning to think my friend the leak is getting worse and we just can't seem to find it. Oh the joys of buried water pipe with trees and outbuildings over the system.

Apple trees... not enough on the property, only three left... and only one with sizable apples. Daughter took two or three or four down for various reasons and an old oak tree expired and pulverized one apple tree, the oak tree landing near my wife about five or so years ago.

[Danik 2016]

Trees ha´ve become an urban problem here. During summer storms they fall on cars, sometimes on people, they block street and roads. In your case the danger is their hitting someone. Does theGarden Valley administration inspect the trees occasionally?

Bananas-love them best with bread and butter though it´s bad living in the Banana Republic.

[tailor STATELY]

No, no inspections... too many trees.

Cavity - after much inspection and prayer we (family and friends) pulled the water pump motor and pump out of the ground... we're fortunate it's only 85 feet (~26 meters) deep... most are double or treble deeper locally. Right away a large hole/cavity in a metal component was evident close to the motor. My nephew found a replacement part in his pump bone-yard and it was installed and the pump motor and pump put back in the ground. After the water was turned on we had to repair some pvc pipe which burst just as we had hopes of being finished last night. So, further repairs today and we are testing the system one more time in just a few minutes (two hours curing time for the glue for the pvc pipe). Our Well Pump Repair guy is still avoiding us for some unknown reason. High hopes... back in a few...

[Danik 2016]

Congratulations,you have found the leak! Lol!"Our Well Pump Repair guy is still avoiding us for some unknown reason." I wonder what happens to people who don´t have a helping team.

[Danik 2016]

Sorry forgot "Y" and jumped to "z".

Each row represented one weekend game. First column= victory of team one; second column=tie; third column=victory of the second team; unexpected result= zebra. But you are right. If I remember rightly one had the names of the games filled out on ones ticked. As the reporter is already reading out the name of the games the zebra´s table is simplified.

Ah, veggies. I've tried to grow tomatoes here with little success. When I lived in Silicon Valley my tomatoes grew like crazy... here, not so much.

But, sigh, I'm resigned to try again perhaps with zucchini and bell peppers, though I get enough usually from friends. Need to come up with a strategy to keep the veg from deer, rabbits (jack & bunny), moles, and gophers... and bugs. Luckily my fruit trees are set with apples, pears, figs, and many varieties of plum... I can't wait for the pickin's.

Been through that last year. It hurt also in the pocket as we say here. Dentist taught me a better way of brushing my teeth (with a normal toothbrush) and using floss.

Chicago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_(band) - saw them in concert at the Circle Star Theater https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_Star_Theater (SF West Bay) in the 80's (nearby where I lived in '62-'67). Didn't realize the Circle Star had been razed (sigh).

[Danik 2016]

A pity that the theater was closed. Kind of a historical place.

Eggs... my morning staple

Found the dentist yet?

Fatigued

[tailor STATELY]

Too many choices... going to have to bite the bullet somehow.

Google Play... spending too much time trying to get it on my Kindle Fire HD / 4th generation ... http://www.lovemyfire.com/install-google-play-on-kindle-fire.html

[Danik 2016]

Dentist here usually only charge for the evaluation session, if you agree to the treatment. The one I chose charged less than half the price of the other and was excelent.

Hater of Google Play and Google account in general. Too much stress about the password.

Natal- visited during the 80ies-90ies.

Nice place... at first I thought you meant this Natal... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natal,_South_Africa which is where one of my favorite movies is historically located... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulu_(1964_film)

Oregon... deep family roots.

[Danik 2016]

Didn´t know this other Natal.

Probably one of the best war films I ever saw:

Good movie. (keyboard no longer works with 3 letters: that betwixt p and r, that betwixt v and x, and that betwixt d an f... bother... cut and paste works... yay. Qwe )

Qwerty broken... considering Dvorak if I can not find an elegant fix.... prhaps an xtrnal kyboard, ys, that's th nxt stp.

[Danik 2016]

I didn´t know that my keyboards were Querty. Found this link:

Resourcefull (sometimes)

[tailor STATELY]

I love Life Hacker ! Using Phrasexpress: I use alt 5 or alt R for e and alt S for w. Still need to program the capital letters and Q's (copy and pasted).

Seattle... not born there, and I only lived there '54-'62, but I consider it my home town.

[Danik 2016]

LoL. Sounds all very uncomplicated!

Terribly cold tonight!

[tailor STATELY]

Terribly hot here and we had a short thunderstorm this morning. Bought a wireless keyboard (Logitech K360) to simplify my life; also has a numeric keypad on the right that my laptop is lacking in. A little stiff, but I like it. Nice price point @ WallyMart.

Unabashed

[Danik 2016]

Congrats Tailor!

Virtual Qwerty on Windows 7- I don´t use it and I mostly forget about it.

[tailor STATELY]

Thanx ! Yes, I remember using the virtual keyboard some years ago for something.

Windows... Have Windows 10 with a 7 shell (Classic Shell) on my laptop and wife's desktops (one needs repairing)... Windows 8 and Windows 10 inherently have a grotesque GUI. Still have XP and 3.1 on some legacy boxes, and many varieties of Apple OS on my older Macs/Power Book... and CP/M ( 2.2 if I remember correctly... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M ) on my Osborne 1... http://oldcomputers.net/osborne-1.html

[Danik 2016]

Last year I got rid of my last desktop. Too heavy to take to repair. Remember Windows 3.2 and specially XP as if it was yesterday. Loved those older programms.

Can´t believe that there up North you have the summer temperatures of Rio
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio,_40° (Sorry, no English Wiki)


economical (well, more or less- I spend a lot on food)

[tailor STATELY]

lol... I was going for a phonetic spelling. Yes, hot summers here; I prefer the Mediterranean climate of the SF Bay Area... fewer extremes. No problem w/ wiki - used google translate (from what I know of French it looks ok): "Chronicle of the city of Rio, carried out through the life of the most disadvantaged "popular layers" (I'm thinking social strata), the film mixes humor and melodrama in the manner of Renato Castellani, introducing episodes to multiple characters as Luciano Emmer did in August 1950 )" Problems w/ censors ?

Fountain pen... I have one but have never used it. f

[Danik 2016]

Yes, the film was produced during the years of the military dictatorship and I suppose (I haven´t seen the film) the picture of Brasil, focusing on the slums, wasn´t very flatering.

A favorite graphic novel movie-Persepolis

Porridge: Me too, but haven't made it in quite some time. I like it with brown sugar and raisins added.

[Danik 2016]

Me too, haven´t eaten it for a long time. Must taste nice with raisins and maybe even with nuts.

Turkey leg... one of my favorite dinner items; roasted. Thinking of shopping Monday for some. Mashed taters and stuffing, I'm thinking, too.

[Danik 2016]

I like turkey leg, stuffed turkey is one of the usual Christmas or New Year dishes here. But on normal days I prefer chicken.

Fried eggs my usual. I learned to cook them by myself before we moved to California, so on or before 1962; soft boiled eggs too.
