Hi Hap,

->  hn> I'm over it now, the Puter is humming along and the old modem is just
->  hn> doing fine.....I wonder if I'll have to send it back to them when the
->  hn> new one gets here?

-> Send the new one back!

 hn> I'm gonna keep em both....the new one came and its' still in the
 hn> box...for now at least I don't even need to install it.

Good, just keep an eye on the old one a bit longer.

->  hn> I keep my photo money in a separate wallet...for more photo stuff
->  hn> (grin) but otherwise everything just goes in and we take out what we

-> As long as the bills are paid, there's a roof over your head & etc, etc;
-> that's what counts.

 hn> Yep and we've always done that before anything else and have been able
 hn> to keep our heads above water...we may never be rich but we're happy!

We were doing the negative thing for a bit before Steve went into the
Army but done better since.  Some times have been tight since but I
could always make sure we had food on the table, even if it wasn't prime
rib.


-> We'll spend a bit more in the next few weeks
-> getting basics for stocking the freezer.  Found out it had been sitting
-> at the PX for 2 weeks---they were supposed to call us when it came in!

 hn> I made a huge bunch of baked meatballs and froze them in two one
 hn> gallon ziploc bags boy are they Goooooo0o0o0d! Other than that I


I have just a one gallon thing of baked meatballs on hand right now;
seems to work out best for us.

 hn> seldom prepare special "for the freezer" I just make a larger recipe
 hn> of whatever and have some left over for the freezer. Make sure you

Well, yesterday I did do a bit of cooking for the freezer--a pot of
goulash soup (lunch plus 5 boxes for the freezer) and red rice, again,
some for lunch and more for the freezer.

 hn> save some room for peaches when peach season comes around! you ARE in
 hn> Georgia y'know!

I'm planning on it--just want to get some stuff in there now to take the
load off the fridge freezer.  This is 3 cubic feet smaller than the last
freezer I had so it'll fill faster.


-> the one in HI didn't. I'm doing better but still not out to run even a
-> 5K.

 hn> I couldn't run one these days either! I did a day's shooting for a
 hn> glass artist the other day and by the end of the day I was so tired I
 hn> could hardly move! Each piece of artwork had to be removed from it's
 hn> "display" frame and set up on my shooting table, the backdrop had to
 hn> be adjusted for the different colors used I had to make several shots
 hn> moving the lighting after each one till I got just the right
 hn> image...and then I had to put the glass back into (which you can read
 hn> as "re assemble") the display frame and start all over again for the
 hn> next piece.


WHEW!  I presume the artist helped you but still................good
thing there were no earthquakes. (G)


-> This is our first year away from winter high surf; seems funny hearing
-> the weather forcast for local boating as waves of 3-4 feet--no "on the
-> south and windward shores, 10-15 (or more) on the north and wrapping
-> around to 8-10 on the leeward side."

 hn> The east coast hardly has what we'd call "surf" LOL

I know; it's sad.

-> Got your taste buds geared up for Southwestern cooking?

 hn> I do for sure...Anne may have a tough time looking for food that is
 hn> bland enough to suit her tastes! I'm hoping to find some good chili
 hn> and tamales! chat with you soon

She will find something but you'll probably be enjoying the foods more.
