All Souled Out

Thunder was a darn good day. Twelve hours on site, easy money. Got to see the B-52 and F-15 flybys, left before fireworks and any street closures that would have interfered with my route, and I was home by 8:20PM. Food and drinks provided by the site - and praise dog, the caterer didn't ruin his tasty sandwiches by slathering them with mayo.
Went to Liberty Wednesday afternoon to help Mom&Dad out with some cleanup around the farm. I thought it would be cleaning up the yard - hopefully clearing Dad's collection of vehicles and tractors and other vehicular junk - but most of it was sorting and emptying the garage. Lots of junk tossed, too much simply repositioned, but there was progress, and I'll take it. Planning to go back next week and do some more work - putting up shelves so you can at least walk around in the building, and moving a chest freezer to another wall so that you can fully open the driver's door of whatever vehicle is parked inside. Hopefully this will keep going - I want to see the fleet of junkers gone by the end of summer.
I finally got sick enough of not having a desktop computer that I decided to stop dicking around waiting until I could buy a new iMac. Ordered a connector cable, bought an inexpensive monitor, and set up my desk again. Looked good enough, worked just fine, and I was feeling pretty good about things. And then, as payment for something that I just wanted to do anyway - the cleanup described above - Mom gave me enough money to buy a new iMac. So, this morning, I took things back down and set up the new computer, and now it's copying over settings and data from my old iMac's last backup. Please, please, please, let the music library be intact.
