Survived another reunion.

It’s Thursday, this must be home. The Old Men’s reunion went very well. We still rode the bus to and from various events, saw the carrier Yorktown, ate good meals, but that was but a sidelight. The real purpose of these events is to renew old friendships, and I did that. I hadn’t seen some of the guys for 50 years, and that’s a long, long time. They didn’t look like the young, skinny kids anymore but a few words and a laugh brought back the memories. Every time I attend one of these annual events I swear I won’t go to the next one, but for some mystical reason I do, drawn by the possibility of another old partner showing up. I may or may not go again. I won’t say never because I don’t have the will-power to NOT attend. Cheers guys. Stay well.

I unloaded a couple of books, and received some encouraging comments from those who read the first and second Powers Trace books so guess I’ll finish the new one. Can’t let the fan base down can I?

Well, I’ve done it again

I’m trying out Windows Live/writer on the new machine to see if I can get access to the Blog and make updates while roaming around doing other useful things, if there are such things.

 

This will be short. If you can read it, it worked. If it doesn’t show up, who cares? http://powerstrace.blogspot.com

Time's fun when you're having flies (Kermit the frog)

It's been a rather full month, this May. Machines break, callers can't get on the Web site, I can't get anything from the Apple programmers or Microsoft to fix Internet Explorer access. To hell with them both, I'll do it my way!

I registered a new domain name (well actually an old name I used years ago for the business) and built a new Web site using links to the old one, stealing from myself in order to keep the archived posts and data going back to 2003. There is a lot of good stuff in there and I didn't know how to get it all saved to something other than the web site. The novices plight. After it all came together I like it. The new home page is a portal to the old sites sections allowing a caller to use the menu to go to the Blog, Thoughts, Tankers, etc on the previous site then return. Neat. I added a guest book that allows access to others who have filled in their info by clicking on the e-mail link and send a message. Good stuff, and it works. So far.

The Tankers annual reunion is next week so I'll be gone for a few days. Should be back next Thursday with a bundle of pictures. Everyone behave, take care, and use the new Site. I'm looking for input. If you like it, say so. More important, if you don't like it, how can I fix it.

For the day-to-day ramblings follow along with the twitter tweets. I'll pump something in there to let you know I'm still functioning.
